I think he is a capable defender, and at times he's looked assured at RB. Wouldn't sell another defender, and I'd be inclined to see more of him before I cast judgement on his ability. +1 to this. He might not be good enough, but he's not had the chance to prove it (at CB). Many of our other players like Gray, Amartey and Musa have all shown improvements when having a run in the team. Even if we sign another CB, there is no guarantee they will nail it straight away either, they will need a run in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't complete a pass against Porto and tends to just play the same long balls that Simpson does. He looked dodgy when tried at centre back and I really haven't seen any potential in him at all. I think if we can get a fee for him we'd do well to reinvest into a better quality player. I don't know why we scouted such poor footballers in the position we were in. Hernandez, Musa, Amartey, Slimani. None of them can kick a football really. Good cast.....

Mike Oxlong Posted 11 January 2017 Share Posted 11 January 2017 It was posted on here that against Porto he was, whilst we were defending a corner, arranging to get a shirt from an opposing player for his collection (and not in the way that Morgan and Huth collect shirts when defending corners). If true that sends him straight to the bin for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 Malaga in advanced talks for Leicester defender Lucas Hernandez Quote Malaga are closing on a deal for Leicester City defender Lucas Hernandez. El Desmarque says Lucas () has asked Leicester to allow him to return to Spain this month. A permanent deal for Malaga hasn't been ruled out. The defender signed for the Foxes last summer from Sporting Gijon. A loan switch to Malaga is the most likely option for now.

Koke Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 We loan him out for Malaga and we are solely relying on a 36 year old as back up for our already aging centre backs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 Well Ranieri was happy for Ndidi to play there yesterday so he's already played center back in as many games as Hernandez did for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 Made me think surely yesterday Hernandez would've been a more suitable option in the back three? I haven't seen enough of Hernandez to give a full judgement on him, but I still think he's got something about him. He hasn't been used at CB (his natural position) enough, in his few appearances. Although one particular occasion I did see him play at RB in one of our Champions League home games, and he was very good. When we signed him we all described him as the 'ball playing CB' we were looking for. He does look to me like he has ability in possession and decent retention of the ball.

sphericalfox Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 I think that Ranners have shown us all that he has no intention of filling the defence with CBs. Sell him on if he doesn't want to be here, apparently we have no need for such extravagant luxuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertfox2 Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 Pointless loaning him. If they want him then let them pay something for him. Makes the summer transfer shambles look a bit better then. If we don't have a replacement lined up then we really are in the brown stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Spaniard hasn’t been playing regularly, and reports suggest he could make a quick return to Spain. According to Marca, Malaga are keen on signing the 27-year-old, as they look to make defensive reinforcements. Malaga’s sporting director Francesc Arnau was close to signing Luis Hernandez last summer, before Leicester came in for him. He didn’t give up, and it’s claimed Arnau has been working on signing Hernandez from Leicester ‘for months’. Talks are continuing on a potential January move for the player. However, Marca say ‘sources close to the negotiations’ have told them signing Hernandez could be a little complicated for Malaga, as the player has enjoyed the confidence of Claudio Ranieri in the Champions League. The Spaniard hasn’t featured in the last four league matches for Leicester, but it remains to be seen if he’d be sent on loan. Hernandez has a contract until 2020 at Leicester and has made 10 appearances so far. He might want to stay at the club at least until the summer rather than giving up so early. SHARE Don't think he's really good enough. He's not tall nor physical enough for a central defender and he's not much of an upgrade from Simpson so when, hopefully, we buy a new right back his chances will be very limited.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 15 January 2017 Share Posted 15 January 2017 Given our current defensive frailty, the lad must be thought very poorly of, seeing as he's barely had a look in. Can we get some money for him as that would be a quick profit from a free transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
