Saw that yesterday -Marseille fans think he is quite useless (not recent comments). Very weak, doesn’t put much effort in. Was morrocos best player in the World Cup though.

I've not seen any of him so had to check his fifa stats, seems his best position is CM, but is a more attacking midfielder than a defensive one. Not sure we need another player like that unless MOR is off?

 

[Merlin57]

Great age, highlights I’ve seen look very promising, pace and a trick or two, happy with this addition to the squad.

Succession planning?

Succession planning?

Undoubtedly..

 

[Gabbiano]

If true, surely someone is off. We already have a glut of CMs.

Hopefully it's not Baleba.

I've not been feeling great recently, but I'd certainly be Ounahi if this happens.

 

[superseagull1994]

Hopefully it's not Baleba.

Very different players thankfully

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Even if we do bring in the Moroccan lad and one, say O'Reilly is shipped out, we've still got a lot of attacking midfielders, especially if we bring one or more of the lads out on loan into the squad

 

[Barnet Seagull]

I don't see how he fits tbh.

 

[Me and my Monkey]

Building our Conference League, second string squad.

I don't see how he fits tbh.

Going to be converted into a FB or CB ?

 

[BrickTamland]

Was one of the standout performers at the last World Cup but hasn’t kicked on (not sure if injuries are to blame but knowing us I’d say it likely!).

Could be the case that a bad year out of the spotlight means the algorithm has spotted some value but as others mentioned it’s certainly not an area we need to strengthen unless there’s multiple departures

That's good to hear.
Anyone would think we are building a squad.
Hang on, no.
That can't be right.
We must be selling someone

Hopefully so. If he's any good, under 10 million quid could be a bargain

 

[Mancgull]

MOR replacement I’d think.

Our squad is too big though even if we got European foota

Panathanaikos player of the season last season apparently so can't be too shabby.

That article reads like he's something we have in the back pocket should MOR get snapped up I suspect.
