He's a 20 year-old Belgian, plays on the left-wing (and likes to cut inside onto his stronger foot going by the video below), and in 14 starts for Monaco last year, he scored three and assisted three.

His performance against us last season in a pre-season friendly...

Said it before but I'd stay away from Belgians, the time to pounce was 2 years ago

Perhaps this is the guy JJ was referring too.

Lots of letters in his name.

I think it was made abundantly clear by him that he was talking about Schneiderlin

I think i would prefer Ocampos if we are going to try and get one of their young wingers.

 

[Flashspur]

agree Ghost, Ocampos definitely has potential

...well if that's the case...

I'd rather have Schneiderlin.

They wouldn't sell Ocampos, or for a large fee.

YFC would be a lot cheaper. Not sure he's good enough for us, but I like him, good player. Had a really good season with Monaco in Ligue 2, and a good start this year in Ligue 1, but he's been on the bench for several months since (not sure why, I don't think he was injured).

(well actually I know why, he's a winger and Ranieri changed his system during the season to a 442 diamond without wingers)

Ocampos surely won't be sold for anything under 30m, especially with James' sale looking likely.

I think he looks ok to tell you the truth. More composure than either of our English wingers (although they play on the opposite wing). We are going to need to sign players with potential rather than the finished article.
