Keane & Maguire are better imo plus both only got a year left on their contract, so we wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous amount.

Keane isn't going to join us, he'll have much better offers.

All. Day. Long.

 

Honestly if player of the season wasn't just about the top 6 clubs and midfield and strikers this lad would be up there with the likes of Hazard Kante & Ibrahimovic - he's been quality.

 

Sign him up.

Happy we are in for a young CB. He started the season extremely well but Maguire is looking better at the moment.

 

£30 million though...  I told you guys that crazy pricetags are only going to get worse! £30 million becoming what the £10 million was 5 years ago.

 

Would be happy if we are in for him though. We badly missed our chance with Keane in the summer and don't want to make the same mistake again.

30 million pounds!!!! Games gone.....

3 million quid a year for ten years...peanuts

 

He's played at every level for the England national team, bar the seniors - which he'll do in the next year or so.

 

Would be a perfect signing to play alongside either of the geriatrics that we have... :)

Hold on, I thought the "game was gone" when we sacked Claudio yet it seems very much like the game had carried on

Wouldn't it be nice if we could bring a young English CB through our own academy system into our first team instead of paying £30m to another club who's done just that.

Not disputing Gibson's ability but are we really saying we can neither find nor could we have coached an accomplished centre-back for a fraction of £30 million given the time we've known we'd be needing one. What do we actually do at our training ground, and within our recruitment team, during a working week?

  

Good name for a Leicester player though, Gibson! .

Agree.

 

Though we've produced 4 players in just over a decade from the academy, who have been any good at PL level. Stearman, King, Schlupp and Chilwell. 4 in 12 years is 1 every 3 seasons, which is alright I suppose.

I've got high hopes for Harvey Barnes too. A season in the championship and he could be ready to make a real impact for us, judging by how great he is doing at MK 

About time we produced another top player, although you are right on Chilwell and he could still turn out to be a first team regular at some point
