Ligue 2, who's that?

 

Either way. Leciester have a core that have played top level football for most of their careers and Mahrez is an outstanding exception.

 

This is bollocks btw, Schmeichel, Morgan, Drinkwater, Vardy is a main part of their core and they are all in only their second full season in the top flight. The same can be said of Kante (only one season in the French top division before this season).

 

Only really Huth, Kante and Fuchs have, even Simpson has played half of his career football in the second tier.

Riyad Mahrez.

 

:thup:

 

We need to look elsewhere, though. It's a completely different pace and standard of football and our insistence on buying players from there, especially for key positions, is one of the biggest reasons we've been so hopelessly fragile since returning to the PL. I'd much rather we looked at Spain, Holland and here.

Nothing wrong with taking punts on promising players from inferior leagues, steady pros.

 

We don't though. We buy their average players and always will with our self-imposed budget constraints.

I agree. We only seem to sign players from the same management company as well. Dodgy as fuck. Needs to be addressed.

The three players that have all but won Leicester the league absolutely haven't played top level football most of their careers :lol:

 

Exactly :lol:

 

And again, that argument would hold water if this season isn't the glaring exception to the norm we all know it is.

This is true, but that's not what you argued.

I think it's just more to do with poor scouting than the French league being poor itself. If we bought Mahrez instead of Cabella, Payet instead of Thauvin, Kante in midfield we wouldn't be having this conversation. We obviously shouldn't be exclusively buying players there though

He was our best player at Everton, hasn't been seen since.

 

It doesn't necessarily mean that Rafa's written him off, he might just want to go with experience given the position we're in. He went with Taylor over Lascelles until it was obvious that would relegate us within a few games. If Rafa stays it will be interesting to see whether he brings him into the team or moves him on.
