Wymsey Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 Personally, can't see a better replacement for Huth or Morgan than Smalling. Exactly the type of presence the defence needs. Him and Maguire would be potentially a very strong partnership imo.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 Smalling and Maguire at the back would be unbelievable.

dedlock Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 WBA mentioned,how many CBs does Pulis want? Smallish may,of course,be replacing Evans.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 Either Smalling or Gibson come on Leicester get it done
Tielemans63 Posted 2 August 2017 Posted 2 August 2017 Would be all for this, especially for £15m but that seems like a lame-ass source tbh.

Just to veer OT for a second, Jimmy Willis was truly dreadful when he arrived but he did manage to come good (to an extent) in the end, MotM in the play off final v Derby and I always remember that gobshite Tommy Johnson punching him in the face when he was on the deck in that game. Interesting fact, I believe he was the first player to score in all top five divisions in England. Now working as a taxi driver.

He was bloody unlucky I thought, one of those that the scapegoating mob liked to turn on when he was drafted in at a really bad time. That sending off against Coventry was one of the poorest pieces of refereeing I have ever seen.
vanity Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 So long as he'd extend another two seasons or so, give us four total, his wages are a bit cheeky at 100k for a CB, but I don't see that being a huge problem. Might well give us an advantage over the other teams, our willingness to pay those wages, plus he plays some RB, gives us a credible alternative there as well in a pinch.

Mad Dog Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 This would be a ridiculously good signing. Too good. No chance we'd pull it off!
gurru991 Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Both Smalling & Gibson need to play regular premier league football this year if they want to have a chance at a world cup spot. Smalling will not get regular play at Man U & Gibson will not get a spot playing championship football. Leicester can offer premier league football to one of them and the chance to play alongside Maguire should be a bonus for either one. Lets get our centre back situation set for the next five years and sign one of them. My preference is Gibson but I would be very happy with Smalling as well

ALC Fox Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 He'd be a quality long-term replacement for one of Huth and Morgan. Down the line, Maguire and Smalling could be an excellent partnership, providing Smalling can stay fit. Smalling's injury record is the one reservation I have with him coming here. He is quality though and probably worth a punt for the £15m figure being mentioned.
dormelcfc Posted 3 August 2017 Posted 3 August 2017 Would assume the fee being quoted is lower than what anyone would be paying especially for an English, Man Utd defender just going into his prime. But still I would be happy to pay £20m for him. We are still lacking at CB. With Shakey quotes on Benalouane, Can't see him being involved too much. So that leaves us with Maguire, Morgan and Johnson (and possibly Amartey) going into the start of the season. Even with Benny involved, we look light.
