I feel sorry for Simpson. It was clear with all his off the pitch troubles the game was a lifeline into normality. And he rarely put a foot wrong in our title winning season. He was integral to the team spirit. The man beemed happiness and joy in our goal celebrations. And he did legitimately try to adapt to Puel's style too. I think we've stepped up with Pereira but I don't fancy joining in any schadenfreude. He's our title winning right back.

Very well said. I take no pleasure in his troubled being.

Great post. Simpson was another player instrumental to our title winning season. A player who hardly ever put a foot wrong during our title campaign. 

It’s astonishing how quickly ‘fans’ turn on such important players for the club. 

Defensively, Simmo will go down as one of our most successful right backs. He isn’t a wing back and never can be. And it’s not his fault Puel has asked him to play that way.

One of the reasons why Mahrez has been so amazing for Leicester is because Simpson has been so solid behind him. There have been many times Simpson has had to do ALL the defending down that right side.

It will be amazing having a defender who can actually score goals. Now we need another one to replace Chilwell, who we should keep and continue to develop.

 

This signing speaks volumes re the sort of confidence his former players have in him. It makes me hopeful once we purge most of the players who don't want to play for him, that we'll have a team ready to challenge for the top-6. 

Sneaky bid for Alex Telles, solve Porto's FFP dilemma within a week :D

 

One can dream.

Pleased with this. I also see this as a clear statement that Puels going nowhere. So I hope everyone gets behind him now. 

 

Now, onto a replacement for Wes, please...

His card looks line this

... apparently he is good tactically

... we pay him to communicate withand motive players...i expect he is poor

....he lacks authority

 

Sure i can get behind him.... but it doesnt stop me thinking we could have  better

Danny's not taking this very well.

 

 

Shocking, genuinely saddened to see that. I really hope the club do everything that they can to support him. I think his time is coming to an end with us in terms of playing time but I'd be devastated on a human level to see him go off the rails.

Absolutely spot on.

 

Its clear as day he loves playing for the club. As many have said, faultless in our title winning team and went from back up full back to important first team player due to all his exceptional defensive work for Mahrez. I don’t think I’ve seen a better full back at defending his back post for Leicester either.

He’ll always be a legend at the club for his part and I’d still have him here as back up to Ricardo.

I have no idea why Simpson gets alot of stick from some of our fans, defensively he's one of the best full backs I've seen for us, very very rarely makes a mistake, and will go down as one of the most under rated players in our history, I really like him and he's a player who always gives his all for the team, hopefully he will stay on as back up because we all know he does a good job, as already stated if it wasn't for Simpson a good 90% of the time Riyad wouldn't be able to show us his magic going forward as simmo has always been solid behind him, as for ricardo it's a huge signing, and a real indication that maybe going forward next season we will be alot more direct, it's a cracking start to pre season, a sign of good things to come

This signing excites me! :D

 

The despair after the Crystal Palace and West Ham games is already turning into hope again. Ohh the wild mood swings of being an Leicester City FC supporter... :mad: :blink: :o :punk:
