Rayan Cherki

[mancboy]

I asked because I’ve no idea who is genuine and who isn’t nowadays.

check the website, check the ads on it, check the way its written, its chat gpt at best, red flags all over the place

It’s like saying Messi isn’t

check the website, check the ads on it, check the way its written, its chat gpt at best, red flags all over the place

has it been worked out tho why is he so cheap?

what makes Rennes sell Doku to us for 52m or so, but Cherki from a stronger club after a way better season he just had (than Doku's last season at Rennes) is on peanuts price.

French teams aint afraid to charge high, remember the guy went from Lille to Arsenal that winger, 60m+ and was a colossal flop.

is it some release clause? or is it all twatter bullshit and by the time we get him it will be 59m or so...

He's cheap because he's not that good.

His level is in and around gernacho, Anthony etc.

No pace, no work rate, no aggression and very inconsistent.

He has demonstrated this season that he can make meangiful contributions unlike our current wide players, but in the context of the league he's playing in, its not that impressive.

I think you’ll be in for a big surprise. Not better than Garnacho and Antony? Give me a break, he’s among the best players in the top 5 leagues for more or less any attacking stat

I've seen plenty of him.

I tell you who's he's very similar too, in terms of style, play and attitude, and consistency…Sancho!

I encourage you to look at Anthonys stats when he left Ajax for United. Don't get get to hung up on them.

He's not the one. Promise.

If you watch videos of him and those you can tell instantly he is better

Crikey

You sound like the city recruitment team!!

Before I can get fully onboard with this transfer he really needs to sort his hair out.

Hi Lyon fan here!

I just wanted to clarify something regarding the claim that Rayan Cherki has "attitude problems" because this narrative has somehow now spread all over the internet and it is absolute nonsense.

Here's a recent interview of our former coach Pierre Sage talking about how he also believed it to be the case due to rumours until he coached him and figured out it was all nonsense.



Likewise players such as Lacazette and others have commented about how the rumors they heard prior to playing with him couldn't be further from the truth.

There's never been a single locker room incident involving him. The truth is that this is simply racial profiling. Any North African player who likes to dribble or play with flair will immediately be compared to Ben Arfa and be called problematic at any occasion.

Now he does tend to show his frustration on the pitch like throwing his hands up when a teammate misses a tap-in or an easy pass but that's just eagerness to win and being competitive.

As for his defensive contribution, that's obviously his biggest weakness but he did improve upon it last season. And overall he runs more thanthe average forward in Ligue 1 although he sprints less. View attachment 158251

Likewise he ranks in the average for most running statistics in the Europa League compared to players at his position

Just out of curiosity. Is he really 21/22 ? For me he looks like 27/28 years old.

It’s one metric he beats wirtz on he looks like Jim Carey in dumber and dumber

 

[himalayan_blues]

We're gonna win it at this rate!!

Reis, Khusanov, Nico and Rodri will all be fresh.

Any links on Outgoing ? Theres too many players. 27/28 with further 3/4 additions. There must be like 8/9 players going.

I know youtube makes a lot of players look good but his natural skill is unique. Also being completely 2 footed makes him so hard to stop. Yes the rags are shite but the way he ran through them was still very impressive. Could have done with someone being able to do that in our boring 2 league games against them. Not even a risk for a 21 year old with that talent for such a cheap fee.

I'm sold, let's buy Pinyaev!

 

[IrishBloodEnglishHeart]

The French media and a significant portion of their population do have a history of demonising men with North African roots.

That's just the truth, whether it's inconvenient to you or not.

Your opinion is "truth". Okay mate

A few people have called this lad lazy so "THAT'S RACIST!!!!"

Proper embarrassing stuff

 

[Gabriel]

Can we throw in Phillips as well?

Not with my back…

Do you think he’s checked his birth paperwork or what? What a silly question

It's a lazy comment to make "He's cheap because he's not that good".

£30m for a 21 year old isn't cheap for starters.

Liverpool bought a young French defender Ibrahima Konate for £36m, Is he not good?

We've bought Akanji for £15m, He went on to win the lot with us. Alvarez for £14m.

I could go on with numerous more transfers that have been really good value or "cheap" as you call it.

You don't really have to dig deep to know that France has deep-lying issues with racism

Bang on!
Real Madrid attitude. Gotta buy the most expensive player cos it means he's good and WE WILL MAKE IT WORK!!!!!

Not commenting on Cherki because I haven't watched him; the ET against the rags aside (he was actually subbed in that time as well)!

But there's value in the market and we don't have to spend mega ding to always get the right player.
