Sums him up, head down, never looking up. Skilful footballer but no end product. He does seem to have developed since he left us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
once_bitterne Posted 16 December, 2022 Share Posted 16 December, 2022 Boufal has an an amazing knack of being praised for doing f'k all. He scored 3 goals in 4 years of being paid by us and yet some fans still maintain he was great. Likewise he managed zero goals and zero assists at this WC yet some on here are saying he had a 'great competition' lol! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent skill, super close control, exciting, but can't do anything remotely useful in terms of creating assists or goals. He's a FIFA Street kinda footballer. Would be perfect on one of these Gen Z Footy Youtube channels where they'd all call him sick, blud and fam and he'd be a "top baller". But he's not worth much on the pitch during a professional mens game. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boufal either scored one or two. I don't even rate Redmond but he clearly contributed far more overall. But this is pretty much down to redmond being a Ralph favourite so getting constant starts and being one of the first names on the sheet(undeservedly) boufal never really got a constant run in the side going ..

Boufal was in signed in the same window for significantly more money than Redmond but could never get into the team consistently under four managers. How that is all actually Ralph Hasenhuttl’s fault I'm not sure but you definitely know best. Edited 17 December, 2022 by CB Fry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint IQ Posted 19 December, 2022 Share Posted 19 December, 2022 Good asset to have in the squad but should never be "relied upon", unfortunately he was a marquee signing at the time...He'll never be consistent enough to play for a top 8 side, would he have got into our side this season? Most definitely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
