Edingleyfox Posted 8 August Share Posted 8 August Didn’t think he would come to Leicester he has better options . Are we linked to any attacking central midfielders? Seem to have been linked to just about every other role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey123 Posted 8 August Share Posted 8 August Might as well close this thread, absolutely no chance of getting him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 8 August Share Posted 8 August I would have liked him here, he's a good player but seeing that makes not getting him easier to swallow. He is NOT a £30m player. He just isn't. Yes, one goal/assist every two games over 122 is impressive but I also don't think it translates well to a team who won't have nearly as much possession and are playing against teams much better than them. As his 3 assists and 0 goals in 12 UCL games demonstrates. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fair amount of worse players, with less potential than O'Riley have changed hands for that sort of money by clubs in the premier league, players who you could barely class as a regular professional footballer as yet, the boy Anderson at Newcastle being one example of many. And for the CL, for context, he was awarded UEFA MOTM in 2 of the 6 games last season, looking beyond the stats he had an excellent campaign for us and was a shining light, hence Atletico's interest in him off the back of coming up against him 6 months ago.

Mike Oxlong Posted 8 August Share Posted 8 August From the Guardian on who each PL club should sign. Leicester: Matt O’Riley Leicester have cash to burn following the £30m sale of Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall to Chelsea but now they need to sign a midfielder to replace the 25-year-old. They have only signed one midfielder this summer: the inexperienced teenager Michael Golding. Given the funds at their disposal, Matt O’Riley should be a viable target for the Foxes. The Denmark international has been linked with West Ham and Chelsea but the new Leicester manager Steve Cooper should go all out to sign him. The 23-year-old shone for Celtic last season, scoring 18 goals and providing 13 assists. To be fair we do excel at burning cash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why people are so keen on him , he's proven nothing I would say that the Scottish Premiership is on par with League One. It's very hard to judge just how good Matt O'Riley is based on his Celtic performance. I have watched him a few times & he looks extremely good but it's hard to factor in with the poor opposition.
