f**k humanity. As long as he is not an insult to cats, I accept @axman2526 the way he is 😽

What if he’s an insult to socks?

One of the main reasons I come here, @Munkworthis so complimentary. Really makes you feel good about yourself. 🙂

    I have really no idea who that is. I stay away from boybands? celebrity chefs? dancing competitions participants? cricketers? failed Giroud looky-likys?

    Really no clue, and not enough curiosity to ask google :biggrin:

    If Peter Crouch and Olivier Giroud had a love child……

    Been watching him for the U-21s; for a player who is reliant on dribbling, he's quite slow and lacks the burst of acceleration that really good dribblers have. He is extremely agile, but lacks quickness, which fortunately is actually a fairly trainable physical skill.

    In saying that, he could be a really, really good player in 5-6 years time if he is given time to develop, in the vein of players like David Silva or Bernardo Silva. That would require ample playing time and trust to develop the creative, playmaking side of his game, as well as the discipline to keep working on the pressing and defensive side.

    All of that just isn't going to happen at a big club. Best case scenario is as a 19 year old attacker he would be rotated in and out of lineups, but his build and style is likely to make many coaches frustrated with him. IMO, if he doesn't want to stay at Lyon or they want to sell, he is best off moving to a mid-tier club elsewhere where he could be trusted with a no 10 jersey for 2-3 years. This is exactly what David Silva had at Valencia and Bernardo Silva had at Monaco. I don't think he should contemplate a move to a top club until he is 23-24.

    I feel a "loan him to Strasbourg" response coming on :wink:

    Based on the (admittedly), limited amount I have seen, I wouldn't mind us signing this kid. Technically he looks very gifted and also appears calm and controlled with his final ball.

    So did Billy Gilmour and we sold him for £9mill

    Rayan Chekri is a very talented playmaker with an asking price of £43 million , which just seems like such a low and reasonable amount of money these days.  For a GT.  😱😂

    Generational talent or wonder kid?  Or how about wonder talent?

    From what I’ve seen I like him.

    Seriously skilful and 2 footed, and young enough to adapt to the EPL and improve.

    If we are in for him I think we’d have to act fast before Champions League clubs start sniffing around him.
