Mike Oxlong Posted 19 June 2015 Posted 19 June 2015 Dennis Wise is diddy and he's a cvnt. Average footballer mind.
Dan Posted 19 June 2015 Posted 19 June 2015 There was a spot on the Leicester City Football Forum about him IIRC. I did read an article recently stating that his height never was a factor in his playing abilities. We've had good luck with French scouting in the last few years with Mahrez and Knockaert. So it shouldn't be. Any team who is that bothered by height is narrow minded in my eyes. The fact he's got through without having any real aerial presence shows he's got something else about him. Said it elsewhere as well but who's better in the air, Vardy or Wood?

thpike Posted 19 June 2015 Posted 19 June 2015 So it shouldn't be. Any team who is that bothered by height is narrow minded in my eyes. The fact he's got through without having any real aerial presence shows he's got something else about him. Said it elsewhere as well but who's better in the air, Vardy or Wood? Obviously we are looking at him for his qualities and not his specifics ha. I have to think that is why we are wanting to sign Huth (6'3"), Fuchs (6'1") and Wasilewski (6'1"). And if we keep Morgan he is 6'2". I hope we have a stout defense with that.
HoustonFox Posted 19 June 2015 Posted 19 June 2015 Watching the videos, playing style looks more like a replacement for a 2013/14 Drinkwater than being a CDM
Stadt Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 This week Morgan has been 6'2 and 6'4, he must be taking some pills on the Internet because he's 6'1.
TheReaper87 Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 This week Morgan has been 6'2 and 6'4, he must be taking some pills on the Internet because he's 6'1. Although this is about 'Kante' you are wrong This week Morgan has been 6'2 and 6'4, he must be taking some pills on the Internet because he's 6'1. Although this is about 'Kante' you are wrong
Stadt Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 Wiki had him as 6'1 not long ago, various other sources in the Internet say 6'0 to 6'1 he's not 6'2.
TheReaper87 Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 Wiki had him as 6'1 not long ago, various other sources in the Internet say 6'0 to 6'1 he's not 6'2. **** me yeah, Wiki is the true word
TheReaper87 Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 But what does this have to do with Kante, open a new thread stating 'How tall is Wes', people come on here hoping to find info on new signings etc etc.
Dan Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 They were incredibly deluded then. It isn't called silly season for the sake of it.
Danno Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 Wiki had him as 6'1 not long ago, various other sources in the Internet say 6'0 to 6'1 he's not 6'2.Wasilewski is the same height too. As if people actually think being one or two inches taller makes you a good player or not.
Fox seen in Norwich Posted 20 June 2015 Posted 20 June 2015 Makalele was small and he was the best cdm ever... Even named the role after him
Guest Posted 21 June 2015 Posted 21 June 2015 Makalele was small and he was the best cdm ever... Even named the role after him I respect your opinion but I'd suggest that Franz Beckenbauer was the best CDM ever ...by far. He invented the sweeper role but before that was a magnificent midfielder and then a superb central defender. He was the type of player and leader that we are lucky to see once in a century. Makalele isn't even on the same table.

Bettsj2 Posted 21 June 2015 Posted 21 June 2015 True but the main point was claude wasn't the tallest I think. Making the comparison to the best though isnt the way to do it. Exceptional players excell because of their talent. Standard players need as much advantage as possible. This guy is small. So in a midfield battle against someone like Jordan Henderson for instance, he is at a disadvantage. Thats not saying that his natural ability may not come out on top, just from the outset he's at a disadvantage. Same with the CB argument. James Chester may be a very good player but when marking Graziano Pelle, he's at more of a disadvantage than Robert Huth on account of him only being 5ft 10 and Huth being 6ft 3. We're all well aware that there are some shorter players who are great in the air and some taller players that aren't so good, but the point about height is a general one. Picking specific players to argue against a general point is just pointless. If we sign the guy, the proof will be in the pudding.

st albans fox Posted 21 June 2015 Posted 21 June 2015 If we sign the guy, the proof will be in the pudding. some people always bring it back to GTF
HighPeakFox Posted 21 June 2015 Posted 21 June 2015 Pedantry/accuracy corner - for the record, the phrase is actually 'the proof of the pudding is in the eating' And breathe
katieakita Posted 21 June 2015 Posted 21 June 2015 This size argument is stupid Dennis Wise was one of our smallest midfield players in recent and you would struggle to find a bigger cvnt.
