Ricardo Pereira Signs For Leicester

[AlloverthefloorYesNdidi]

Just watched his highlights again. So boss.

We had better recruit or our best player will be our RB

Reminds me of Kyle Naughton, how exciting did he look going forward for us back then?

Puel played him mostly as a left back at Nice according to this https://www.transfermarkt.com/ricardo-pereira/leistungsdaten/spieler/215876/plus/0?saison=2015

He's probably a replacement for Mahrez tbh

 

Well happy with this signing though. Shows intent, and the reactions it's getting so far from Porto and other fans gives us a good indication of a good player on our hands.

Excited to see him for a season before he gets poached by a bigger club. 

If that happens it happens. What do we do never sign anybody because they might move on. It's called professional football.

Ok Mr bleak outlook. ?

[Ted Maul]

Not seen much of him to judge too much, but the comments of people who have are very promising- sounds like a bit of a coup. 

 

If this is the kind of business we will be doing, we'll be in great shape next season. 

 

The last couple of weeks have really changed my opinion of Puel- I didn't see how he could come back from the 5-0 at Palace and lack of reaction in the West Ham game, but there's an air of positivity and optimism again. We've carved 2 of the best teams in the league open at will, and fixed one problem position with a top player within a few days of the window opening. The future of the club looks bright again!

Great signing (by what others have said etc) 

 

up the Foxes

[Col city fan]

Don’t know much about him tbh but looks quality. Well done LCFC!

[Ric Flair]

He just looks like he's the business, look how he's wearing that scarf. Oozes class

[Wolfox]

Nice submariner on wrist I notice…. 

[Tuna]

Leicester boss Claude Puel told the club website tonight: “I’m delighted to have a player of Ricardo’s quality on board for next season.

“I remember him well from my time at Nice.”

Obviously too young to remember Peter Rodrigues .. he of sliding tackle fame.

 

I’m too young, but my old man always spoke about his slide tackles, when I was a kid.

RIP Simpson look forward to playing with benalouane against derby county in the EFL cup

[Pete from the USA]

Thought for the day: LCFC just paid £22m for a right back. This isn't your father's Leicester City any more. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Speaks volumes how a Puel signing is done and dusted this early in the window, perhaps to appease those among us who have been revolting in recent weeks.

 

Seems promising, and it can’t be that hard to be more attacking than Simpson. 

[KJT]

Wow we got a player Tottenham and Man city were interested in signing him last year, I don't think he would have come here if it wasn't for Puel, my views on Puel are changing. I think he can be the new Wenger when he started at Arsenal. Feeling positive about our future.

Loving the quick start in recruitment

I think we are the first team in the league to sign a new player since the window closed? Certainly the first team to sign a "marquee" signing.

 

Pretty good going, especially with Evans seemingly on his way too. Whilst most of the other clubs have sacked their managers and are looking to fill that vacancy first, we can plunder Europe for good players, get them cheaply before the world cup starts and then laugh as everyone goes into panic mode.

 

Then we can all boo Puel in the first pre-season friendly when all of these signings are still resting after being at the world cup and we look pants

But players don’t like Puel, he bores them in training. There’s no way one of his previous players would go near him? 

 

[RumbleFox]

Really pleased with this.  Exciting times and it really seems like we have got our recruitment back on track with the players/positions linked with.....

 

Welcome Ricardo.

If we sack Puel Pereira will be livid

Can anyone remember the last time we signed a full back far more talented than those who came before, who signed for us after talking to our manager who we then sacked?

Takes one last glance at his lines "Hello Leicester fans..." 

Haha he defo read from a script. Hilarious and seemingly poor editing. At least give us belief that 10 seconds wasn’t scripted!

[Fightforever]

Evans plus a CAM and we're sorted anyone else is a bonus
