Magicdaps Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Loving the new direction in which our transfer policy appears to be heading. I'm genuinely excited about the next few years and seeing how it plays out with NP at the helm. A better man for the current brief I think you'd struggle to find. Despite the obvious challenges faced, I think Nige is properly enjoying and embracing the current situation/predicament, and is maybe even energised by the whole thing. It feels like we're building a squad of younger players with hunger and a desire to progress, regardless of if that's with the club, or in terms of their personal careers, either way we're the beneficiaries, and I for one am looking forward to watching it play out from my seat in the Dolman. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez during Leicester's title season was fantastic but he was a star in a middling side who achieved something remarkable. His numbers are quite good at Man City but he's not first choice, one of many stars etc. Plus what BCFC Rich said- coincidence though it is, Mahrez joined Leicester and NP aged...22.

Phileas Fogg Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Looks great in those clips. I appreciate it’s a small sample, and he’s not necessarily a like for like replacement, but he look to have better technical skills than Semenyo. Pearson has talked about wanting a creative maverick type (ie Knockeart) and this guy seems to fit the bill. The Tinnion tweet all but confirms it’s happening.
