He either never saw him play or is an absolute clown.

Or has absolutely no idea of the shit we’ve had to watch the last 25 years

I believe iborra is perfect for the pl.

We will be blessed if silva is also so good

[StriderHiryu]

Absolutely sublime yesterday in all areas of the game. Made the most clearances in the game, including that vital one to stop Kane, was pinging majestic passes round all night, got stuck in with tackles and was positionally brilliant. What I love the most is that when we are under pressure, we can pass the ball to him and he looks like he is at a Sunday morning kickabout, casually just rolling the ball past his man and calmly distributing it forwards. I feel he has essentially become a metronome for the team, with him and Maguire getting most of our moves started from the back. He's been very good for the last month, but last night was a great test in that he was up against Eriksen and Alli who though under par, are usually among the leagues best. He and Ndidi have struck up a fantastic partnership and it's no surprise to me that Ndidi has improved as Iborra has gotten better. It means there is more calmness and experience in the middle of the park. Usually I would be worried about injuries, but we have already made a key signing in the midfield area for January.

 

So it's a definite from me.
 

@Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo is it possible to do your magic and create an Iboora emoji? Maybe it could involve some Sun, a plane and the man himself seeing as he did come all the way from sunny spain? I feel like Iborra and Nidid have earned one!

What a player love him

[David Hankey]

Vicente is a class player and getting better as each game passes. Maguire and him are undoubtedly the best signing we've made in the last 2 years.

[HighPeakFox]

Whenever I watch us play, I always want to see Vardy with the ball. I now also want to see Iborra with the ball.

[Guest Col city fan]

When we get Silva in and could play a three of Silva, Iborra and Wilf, imagine that.... last season it was often King and Amartey...

Who says we haven't progressed...

Remember a couple of games ago when people were crying out for Huth to come back so him an Morgan can play together again  and we can drop Maguire

tbf with Huth and Morgan together we might have scored less, but also probably wouldn't be leading the league in goals conceded from corners. 

[WigstonWanderer]

Honestly think he's an upgrade on Drinky, particularly the version that he became after Nov 2016.

 

Does he really live on Saffron Lane?

[lgfualol]

Class act. Another one who was written off before getting a proper run in the team.

Just off it. Allegedly drives a Ford Fiesta 1.2 and has a Mrs called Wendy. Typically seen on a Fri night at the Saff Lane WMC playing Bingo and eating cheese and pickle cobs.

We weren't exactly stellar in this regard last season with Huth playing

I've never felt so comfortable watching a Leicester City midfielder.

 

Cambiasso had class but he hit far too many wayward long balls, Kante was immense especially with his forward passing but Iborra for me just oozes class, I've never seen a Leicester City midfielder so calm on the ball especially in tight areas.

Iborra, Ndidi and Maguire are all on the to-do list, will try and get them worked up asap, just hard finding the time these days! And Puel of course

To be fair to Esteban it must've been a bit of a culture shock to go from Real Madrid and Inter Milan to being asked to spring the counter attack with 50 yard crossfield balls to Jeffrey Schlupp

Awesome news!!! 

[Babylon]

My worries about his mobilty were unfounded, helps having an absolute machine like N'didi next to him though I'd imagine. A class act...

[foxy boxing]

Really class player and now beginning to show his real quality, the way the Spanish Maestro is running the midfield it is like we have our very own Beethoven orchestrating the midfield, and last night it sounded amazing!

[WigstonWanderer]

Great pairing with Ndidi. He always seems to be available to receive a pass, something we've lacked in the past.

He also has a settee on his front lawn and is constantly waking neighbors in the middle of the night arguing with his missus.

Love the partnership with Wilf, they compliment each other so well. The fact they're both big fvckers as well is great, we've needed two big lads in the middle since about 1567.

I’m not actually sure he’s that immobile you know .  I think because he’s so big he just looks it . I bet one of his strides is like 1 1/2 to 2 of a normal person the blokes massive

[Max Power]

Class act. Does everything so calmly and effectively. 

 

Funny how he's probably about 783rd in the pecking order for Spain's midfield, and he ran the midfield against England's Eric Dier.

I did say my concerns were unfounded. I watched a few Seville games back so that I could see how he played and he was definitely plodding about not doing a huge amount and it worried me. Perhaps the extra cover he had meant he could get away with it there, but he certainly seems to have rolled his socks up here.
