Riyad Mahrez

How dare you use the "Q" word in the wrong thread...

Think he'll be a really good addition.

Girona yes. It’s the fucking Spanish first division.

Yeah its really worked wonders for... err.. oh its been almost universally shite for all our loanees there. Douglas Luiz and Aleix didn't get a sniff and we bought Kayode to help them out and they still couldn't even be bothered to play him.

Only Maffeo had a decent time and despite performing he was still deemed not good enough.

It doesn't matter how good the division is, what matters is they play proper football week in week out. That is the only way young players improve.

Kayode was dreadful, and Douglas Luiz was horrendous every time they played. Machin was right not to play them, as they were nowhere near good enough for La Liga. I was a little bit surprised that Garcia got so little playing time though, cause he looked pretty good when I saw him play for them

Fair enough but I think that still supports my argument, no point whatsoever in loaning players to a league if they are going to be deemed not even good enough to get 300 minutes. Scotland is crap, I'm not disputing that I'm just saying its a good loan destination. If Aleix had gone there he would have been one of the best central midfielders in the league, got 50 games under his belt and bags of confidence. Instead he's probably wondering what the point was in leaving Villareal if he's still sitting on a spanish bench playing pocket snooker.

The biggest problem for me is that we didn't seem to think these loans through. Girona play with 2 CMs. One is the captain, Granell, the other is the best player, Pons. They were never going to get dropped or replaced by Costa or Garcia, not unless they were instantly world class.

So we set them up for failure.

Douglas Luiz wasnt that bad when he would come on. It has to be difficult only playing the last 10 or so minutes once a week and starting the odd game every couple of months. But I agree that the Girona connection did us no favors this year. Hopefully soon they're able to have a coach that plays a similar style and we do our part of sending them players who can get the job done.

And?

The point was its poor standard, playing against the fucking jokers north of the border.

There’s literally no point as Roberts has shown.

Would this be linked to any Mahrez transfer?
