I fancied Elyounoussi being a good addition when he came in and nothing has changed my mind. He puts the effort in for starters, something that has escaped Sinclair for over a year except the occasional games. He looks clever with the ball, perhaps too much. He could be missing passes because players aren’t seeing the runs he’s expecting. I’ve often wondered if players get frustrated at team mates not being up to their level and can’t get in to the spaces etc that they see, or not getting the pass that they’ve made the run for. He has an eye for goal. I think with the good players around him, he’s gonna get better and we’re going to benefit from this. I think keeping him with the rest could mean we can become an accomplished Europa team, and even make a decent stab at CL. That diamond of eddy, Elyounoussi, Forrest and Christie is a really decent attack by most euro standards. And when they’re pressing, backed up by Christie’s energy... well we’ve seen our group struggle already. £8m? I say yes all day long. On the radio they were talking that if we didn’t win the league and miss out on CL that we couldn’t afford to buy him. Think we have enough in the bank to speculate to accumulate and that we will win the league and at least get the Europa. Selling ntcham would cover his outlay. Might even get a decent wedge for rogic to buy him. Rogic’s wife apparently hates living here so I’m not sure how long he’s staying
