True, but Feghouli didn't become the player he is until long into his career in spain . By then, he already gain caps for Algeria. Sad because he could be the final piece for France going in to the attack.
this season is not the best for him though. but I like his agility and dribbling, he can finish and create chances too

Oscar, Coutinho, Pastore... just give me one of these 3, Marotta. Loan with option buy, in 5 installments.

As much as I love Algeria and their team, Fekir had France written on his face. Same with Benzema. If you're talented Frenchmen with an Algerian background, France will make sure to cap you quick.
Lately there have been many Binationals who've chosen Algeria, there's a new trend. Algeria's a lot more competitve than it was and it plays a role. Fekir is a big talent, but he's still not relevant enough, for the moment, to be called for France rightaway, and if he was, it would first be as a stop gap. Obviously he has the talent to become much more than that, imo. He's receiving pressure from both sides. be it family or club. He was given a call up by Algeria, and he's still pondering. I think it's 50-50.

He would probably have a better career and recognition if he chooses France.

Also, Benzema and co. got into France when Algeria was at a big low, not saying it could have changed their mind if they weren't, but it could have been a less straightforward decision.

I still think Fekir going to pick France because they are crying for a player with his flair in the final third, however you are right that it might not be a foregone conclusion. Algeria has been getting stronger, best nation in CAF with the Ivory Coast a close second.

Mata, Ozil, and if you want a new name then it is felipe anderson.

Coutinho and Pastore are meh.
For all the hype he has, Mata has been really disappointing for the past 2 season. If you think he's the guy to carry Juve up a level into challenging in Europe, more power to you. But I don't see it.

I still prefer felipe anderson though. I feel he is still an unknown outside of italy and could come cheaper than an established and hyped name like Mata. He is also very talented and will look to prove himself and grow. He does involve a bigger risk though as he might not develop as expected.

Except Lazio wont sell him for cheap though,not for less than 30m surely.Dont know what makes people think we can price him away from there.He has been like one of the best players in the league easily.When you make that sort of impact where you land in among the best,its obvious the price will skyrocket and its been a noticeable trend in the last few yrs when it comes to exports from this league.
