Brilliant if true, considering that my mate said he wasn’t confident of a move we must have been happy enough to offer something? He is seeking clarification for me so I’ll share if he says anything.

Looks a terrific prospect. But after two years’ crying out for a decent no. 10, I’m hoping that if we do sign him, we don’t play him there!

 

Why? If we persist with 4231, then any improvement he brings to no10 will be offset by a lesser player replacing Mahrez in one of the wide positions. Perhaps more importantly, it’d mean not starting Nacho, one of our very few potential worldies, and who ended last season on top form playing just behind Vardy.

 

So I hope he’s coming to play in a midfield 3 alongside Wild & Silva, leaving us the option of 2 or 3 up front...

Only 2 years?! lol

Could you point out what he's got right? With the greatest of respects to him, I've gone through his posts for the last year or so and seen absolutely nothing.

In a 5-3-2 he could play as a CAM with both Nacho and Vardy :thumbup:.

It's a distinct possibility Bob ? I think the lad looks a terrific prospect!

No matter what happens, there will be a ‘lesser player’ in the Mahrez role next season. Even if it’s Mahrez!!! ?

 

Lesser in some aspects certainly.

I think someone's miss labelled the stock photos -  this is more controversial  than the time ITV mixed up Lenny Henry and Ainsley Harriott footage.

Yeah that's what they do, spot news published elsewhere and regurgitate it by quoting unspecified "sources"

Looks like Norwich have completely trolled Rudders.

Take a closer look at that post. ?

Worse thing about social media is having people post shit fake transfer news which people believe. Some kid in his bedroom says we're in for a player and then everybody thinks we are.

5 years ago 'Madders' was concerned he may not get a scholarship due to his size, he was very small. His ability was never in question, technically very astute. Between 16-18 there was slight development with his size again, ability was there to be seen. Many clubs were aware of this but would imagine concerned for the same reason. At 16-18 some lads are young men already. 

 

He continued to flourish, passing very good, great touch and could pick a shot. No surprises with his pro contract at 18 and from there he really took off. He started to grow and whilst not a built lad was developing a bigger frame. This was what his ability needed and Cov through him in the first team amongst a few others, George Thomas being one. 

 

It was clear he was technically too good for that level and caught the eye of bigger clubs, hence Norwich move. Having been given his chance this year never looked back. All the hallmarks of a Dele Alli style signing, (he's better than he was at his age also, and Demarai Gray). 

 

Reading comments on here seems a mix of initial apprehension to, we're signing the next best thing...make no bones, this lad 'could' be wonderful.

Huh? He's only a few months younger than Alli. Dele Alli was winning England caps and awards at the same age
