4everfox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Crystal Palace get Cabaye and we (potentially) get Ake. What a disgrace. Sort it out Leicester! Put your money where your mouth is and sign us a 10 million+ worldie of a centre mid.
Tuna Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 We do not want or need players like this. We're supposed to be progressing not signing players who would normally be loaned to Reading or Ipswich. Nowhere near good enough for our squad, we need top quality players. They are out there, go sign them. Sort it out FFS. And Chelsea should fook off and all with all this loaning of players its taking the piss. Play em or sell em.
TrentFox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 The CM is a huge concern right now.No. It's bigger than that!
Basingstoke Fox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 He's a bit like Willian, very quick but often lacks the cutting edge. Willian absolutely tore us apart at the end of April.
Adster Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Willian absolutely tore us apart at the end of April. Was playing against Konchesky though to be fair. Hardly a challenge.
kingfox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Percy saying a potential replacement for Cambiasso Ake is too inexperienced & too defensive to replace Esteban, Ake would be decent cover as he is versatile but we need better, we need to go out and spend on two quality midfielders.
Micky Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 John Percy was spot on with his predictions regarding the manager - not! I think he is clutching at straws and making assumptions. Wait and see. We have only just returned from Austria and Esteban is still available. He will sign.
john doe Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 If we are in for a CDM from Chelsea hope it's john obi mikel

Let's think smartly here, Ranieri has managed some of the best clubs in Europe and is clearly experienced and has even mentioned how important Huth and Cambiasso were in his recent interview, do we really think he is that naive in thinking cambiasso can be replaced with a Loanee youngster from Chelsea!! I honestly think if we don't get cambiasso we will be looking at signing a big quality replacement with like for like class and ability!

Hopefully not but was just laughing at Percy's comments more than anything. Definitely need a quality replacement if we lose him, was looking at his stats from last season & he wasn't really impressive in terms of passing & tackling, but excelled in creating chances & intercepting passes. We definitely need to replace him with someone who can create chances, but is able to pass the ball better & intercept. N'Golo Kante or Mousa Dembele would be suitable options.
AS78UK Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Recall watching him play CB in what must have been a chelsea reserves game. He looked the best player on the pitch that day. Thought at the time would be great to get this guy on loan at Leicester at some point. Thinking Championship than Premierb League back then though. If he has progressed since then, could be a good signing.

Some jounalists get over excited with their own speculation.
Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 As a loan signing to add some meat to a very depleted midfield choice this would be a good move. I'm sure the club is not looking at one player to replace Esteban (if he is going). The fact we are linked with three others suggest that Ale is part of a combined plan rather than the plan itself. I'm also glad we are still trying to unearth potential bargain gems rather than filling the team with mercenaries. A legend has to start somewhere.

Hack Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Not even as good as Dean Hammond. Pass. You are kidding right? Have you ever seen him play? He is thought of very highly at Chelsea. If there is anything in this report he could be very nice addition.

More likely a replacement for Matty James until he recovers, surely?

We have only just returned from Austria and Esteban is still available. He will sign. He's not very often wrong.
kingfox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 More likely a replacement for Matty James until he recovers, surely? Can he do what Matty James does though? Drives forward & grafts away in the middle of the park? Andy King can slot in for James, Ake is more defensive than the likes of Cambiasso & James.
65RosesFox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Not even as good as Dean Hammond. Pass. Use say this as a dig at Hammond who was consistently one of our best midfielders for the first quarter of the season.
South Shire Fox Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 Was walking up past the Carphone Warehouse on Welford road earlier when an all black range rover went past with the number plate 'AKE 4'... Got to be more then a coincidence.
Dan Posted 18 July 2015 Posted 18 July 2015 People talk of experience but we aren't a young squad anymore. I'd take Ake although not if it meant Cambiasso was off.
