I find it funny how fans are so eager for us to sign fekir but last season the club were slated for going for the ox. They are similar players and I actually think aoc is the better player.

Just because something is foreign and slightly mysterious.

The OX will probably not play until the New Year, he has been very unlucky. Also Fekir is a goalscorer and a creator, he will make the first 11 better.

"Similar players", you're way off base and if you watched both regularly you'd know that. What a frustrating comment.

I have watched a fair bit of him. He is a midfield player who is quick with the ball at his feet. Had the ox played every game I think his goal tally would be similar. I don't see the 40 yard, defence splitting passes from fekir that we see from aoc.

They are similar players, can both operate out side, beat players, even have a similar build. I didn't say they're identical but fekir is much closer to the ox than Philip coutinio.

Fekir and AOC similar? Ha ha ha ha. Joke of the decade. that's like comparing KDB to Gundagaon!

PH- Ox played 3/ 4 of the minutes fekir did this season and scored 5 compared to 23! So in no way would his goal tally been similar.

Fekir is a far more technically gifted player. Can dribble with the ball in tight spaces, and has better ball control. Can curl a free kick into the nets quite regularly too.

Most of the best players and managers in the EPL are "foreign and slightly mysterious", right now. Get over it.

Fekir did his thing in the French league, the ox in the latter stages of the champions league.

I admit, fekir has the better free kick but the ox is stronger. Aoc can also dribble well in tight spaces and has excellent ball control.

Alot of people are underwhelmed by British players these days. I firmly believe that had aoc been Italian or spanish, playing in a foreign league then his transfer would have created more excitement. I know that is ridiculously hypothetical but I think HOU know what I'm saying.

And 60/ 70mil for fekir is worrying to me. I hope he is as good as you all say and I hope we sign him but from what I've seen, which admittedly is not loads, I don't know if he would even get in the 11 1st team (with all players fit) who does he come in for? Salah, Bobby or mane? No. Keita fahbinio or henderson/ ox. Either the ox or Hendo is his best shot. I know we need a bigger squad and he seems a quality player. He is not coutinio standard though.

My main point was that there is more buzz around foreign players over British players. Fekir isn't even guaranteed a starting role for France is he?

Hendo how much have you actually watched of Fekir? Fabinho doesn't get into the Brazil team. Bobby doesn't start most games either. So I fail to see your point. I'm not English so all players are foreign to me, having watched Fekir I can tell you he is better than any midfielder we currently have. playing behind the front 3 interchanging with Firmino is where he'll play. Ox doesn't offer they neither does he do Hendo. His far smarter on the ball and without it, he is technically brilliant. I'm a big fan of ox a BTW but if you think they ate on the same level you haven't watched much of Lyon over the past season.

I understand what you're saying. 4231 with fekir in the middle of the 3.i think 433 is better for Bobby's game than 4231.also, we didn't pay 70 million for fahbinio or Firmino. I haven't watched much of lyon, no.
