Very. Screw trying to interact with the amount of idiots in this country.

Plus games start at like 7:00 so it makes it easier to catch the majority of games and still have the rest of the day to do stuff.

Yeah that's the main thing for me. Even if I sleep in a bit I can catch a game and a half before noon.

Leicester have lost 2 of the 22 games he's started this season. Lost 7 of the 16 he's not played. He walks into our defence.

They are better at defending set pieces with him in the side! Which was a big problem around the winter time.
I dont rate him at all, he turns like a bus and gets caught ball watching, but if hes improved there defending at set pieces than i presume thats were those stats will come from

There's this weird thing where because Leicester usually make good signings people act like all their signings are brilliant. Dennis Praet is another one who gets praised on the occasion he plays but who isn't actually good at all.

Admittedly I'd love for Everton to get to the spot where everyone just assumes we've unearthed a gem every time.

Forfana, Tielimans, Justin have all been big hits, but been given the time and space to grow as players.

I noticed Rodgers had 8 starters from his first game who you would say would still start now if fit (Morgan, Maguire & Chilwell the other 3).

They are more savvy than most in the market and what they have done since Rodgers has come in is made those starters more consistant and built a stronger squad
 
I see The Big Ignoramus is chatting wham again lol dear me, such a strange take on football this lad, who has never kicked a ball in anger.
 

Seems like Rabiot links keep popping up periodically. Has anyone actually watched him? Seems like a bit of a box to box based on stats and the odd YouTube clip. Doesn’t look particularly fast or slow, nor does he get many goals or assists so he might fit right in.

Not watched much of him, seen a few games and watched the game against Porto he played in, Scored a goal with a decent header and got around the pitch. Better option than most we have, has worked with Carlo but seems a bit of a nightmare off the pitch. Not a massive goalscorer will probably get about the same as Doucoure a season

He is better than what we have got, he is pretty agile and has tremendous technique. Proper footballer. That said I am not 100% convinced he is what we need as I think we could do with someone a bit more dynamic.

He's basically a massively upgraded Tom Davies.

As @Papa Shango says above, he's not what we desperately need, but at the same time if we have ambitions to compete with a squad that doesn't have six youth team players on the bench, he'd be a huge addition.

If we're signing six or so players this summer, Rabiot would be on my list of players to bring in. If we're signing three, maybe not.

Tend to mostly agree here - if we are signing a centre mid, he's probably in the mould that I'd want to see - box-to-box but better on the ball than Doucoure. Also has the advantage of being left-footed, which always adds a nice balance. Can play as an 8 or a 6, so would give you the option of a 4231 with him and Allan sitting with James ahead of them or in a 433 with Allan sitting and he and Doucoure getting up and down.

He's essentially Fabian Delph but about 100 times better and without the injuries, although he's supposedly just as much of a blert as Delph is.

Despite the links to Coutinho, if we are going to sign a midfielder this summer I'd rather it was someone in the mould of this guy than a number 10 like Coutinho.

That said, unless we ship out Delph and Gomes, I can't see a centre mid being on our shopping list - probably 4th or 5th priority behind a right back, a winger and possibly an upgrade at centre back (and a striker, presumably, if Kean is sold)
