brookfox Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 It’s like we’ve genetically bred Danny Simpson with Hossein Kaebi. Expect a bid for our mysterious sports science department in the transfer window.
siraaj_lcfc Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 He's been our best signing this summer, no doubt. Absolutely Brilliant.
Danizen Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 Surprised we haven't seen a condescending 'let's chuck £15m at Leicester for Pereira' post from a fan of one of the big clubs yet. It's not January yet so there's still time.

Aye, because he was 24 and struggling defensively at the start of the season I had assumed he would not be good enough. Not as good as Chillers, but yesterday he really held his own in defense.
justfoxes Posted 27 December 2018 Posted 27 December 2018 What an absolute cracking goal against Man City, he seems to get better and better every game he plays pity Silva wasn’t put along side to compliment him a player totally under used by CP !!

Can see this as a will come back and bite us on the arse scenario if he’s sold to another premier league club, but saying that apparently Ranieri wants him at Fulham ?

Multiple cup games and the odd premier league game. Look at Mendy and Choudhury, given a start and taken the opportunity presented to them.

Seems like Ranieri wants all his old players from Leicester

I think there is a reason he's under used....

Gwyn Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 I think I've got the song for him. Check the new chants thread and I can take a selfie with you if you want ?

He had a tendency to be out of position, playing players onside in dangerous plays or fouling players unnecessarily in dangerous positions. This year he has been much better. He can still improve.
Tom12345 Posted 28 December 2018 Posted 28 December 2018 On from the post above, why can’t we also give Ghezzal a chance. I don’t quite understand the criticism he has been getting from fans here when he has barely played let alone settled down. From what I have seen, he has the raw ingredients to be a great player.

Chillers was so shit defensively last season. He also is extremely 1 dimensional going forward which I wouldnt really like to mention (i really wouldnt, because he's been great for us) but for the slating players like Gray get for not being "creative" enough. Chilwell got given miles of slack for some reason whereas Gray and Iheanacho and Ghezzal get very little

Silva just doesnt seem suited to either us, this league or both.

Both Kram and Silva, and countless others too, are good players in their own right. They're just not the right player at the right time.

No doubt he'll go elsewhere and be a roaring success.

No doubt he'll go elsewhere and be a roaring success. It would've been poor to have held him here like you say. But in his interviews he speaks highly of us, and the time he spent here. The entire circumstances with Silva kinda set him out to fail. I'd love him to be a success, but I don't see it. A big sign is the fact I haven't seen him at the games (tunnel cam) and his Instagram posts are always with Benny doing something when the games are on.

They're just not the right player at the right time. I agree. I'm not saying Silva isn't a good player, hes just not the right player for us and I'm not sure hes suited for the premier league. Many other players do well in other leagues but struggle in the prem. I know he hasn't played loads but in the games he has played I've seen nothing from him that suggests he should be in the team ahead of Mendy, Ndidi or Hamza.
