LFEE Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Looks like our attempt to find a Kante. He's no Kante, probably more like James McCarthy if anything. William Carvalho would be the closest thing to a Kante in world football who is available, who will probably end up at Citeh. Kante wasn't a Kante till 2 or 3 years ago. Kante was always Kante, he just happens to be perfect for this league. His reading of the game, pace over short distance and simple distribution. The cosmos pretty much aligned for him when he made the move. It doesn't happen very often. Didn't Kante come to Leicester as a winger or was he just picked to play there initially?

ponsaelius Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Played in America aswell as a kid, might have decent english already if so. English is the official language of Ghana. Most of the population speak it to varying degrees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I imagine Acquah would come in as a squad player Really? Why do you say that? Think he'll be slotting into our midfield. Looks a tough, physical DM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alberts Mustache Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I imagine Acquah would come in as a squad player Really? Why do you say that? Think he'll be slotting into our midfield. Looks a tough, physical DM. He definitely looks like a good player and I must admit I haven't seen many Torino games the last seasons, but the few I've seen he looked like he likes to wander a bit too much. He tends to power forward when there's a given oportunity and likes to hold on to the ball a little too long in some situasions. Not the ideal partner to Shelvey in my book, but do correct me if my impressions are wrong Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That Afriyie Acquah has supposedly confirmed he's on his way to england. We were the only club linked with him, as far as I can tell. Weren't Arsenal linked as well or am i thinking of someone else? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sempuki Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Aboubakar according to FutbolArena apparently : Certainly looks like an entertaining player! Good stats too Rennes in for him apparently. They are about to sign Ismaila Sarr who we were linked with too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe_F Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 That Afriyie Acquah has supposedly confirmed he's on his way to england. We were the only club linked with him, as far as I can tell. He's followed us on twitter n'all. He also recently started following Glentoran. He's got a load of photos on his t/l thanking Glentoran for supporting his African play and learn initiative. So that's not surprising. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 Has anyone ever checked his grim pessimism vs. actual signings? He's anyways destroying signings that seem pretty far down the line from other sources. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odear Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 With the amount of players we've been linked with, the easiest thing in the world to do is say we're not gonna be signing them. Ryder knows nout when it comes to what Rafa is doing. The cunt is stealing a living running stories speculating or pouring cold water on twitter rumours. Has he ever carried out any real journalism?
