Both of these + that entertaining team so far list are a joke, this Holliday girl says I’m going for Reece James with his 1 goal and 1 assist for RB despite often being ripped apart on his side, now I played top trumps a lot as a kid and I know that doesn’t beat Timmys 1 goal and 3 assists + motm award. Then not to get either 1 of Mendy, Tilly, Praet, Vardy even Barnes in is a joke, have AV CB pairing been so good that Cags isn’t considered but Sums it up when they say ok I know he hasn’t been great but I’m putting KDB in cos he’s KDB..wtf ....& chill this is great let them look elsewhere look what happened last time they did so fec the lot of umm. Casing point on Reece James he’s dropped today in favour of a 31yr Old because he’s probably not trusted against Eze Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah we seem to get about an article every year from either Tanner or Percy which mentions in passing the current members of said group (usually about 5 players). There's the obvious players like Kasper, Morgan, King. Chilwell was in too before he was sold. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Different paper - https://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/premier-league/wily-foxes-a-beacon-for-smart-recruitment-39636971.html Wily Foxes a beacon for smart recruitment John Percy October 18 2020 02:30 AM From the bargain signings of Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and Jonny Evans, to the more expensive Youri Tielemans and Wilfred Ndidi, Leicester City's recruitment has ultimately defined their recent Premier League history. It is a closely guarded secret how Leicester operate, yet they are viewed as a beacon club for scouting, analysis and recruitment by many rivals and their supporters. Working through Covid has presented its own unique challenges, yet Leicester will face Aston Villa today with three new signings in Wesley Fofana, Timothy Castagne and Cengiz Under. Fofana, the £30m (€33m) signing from Saint Etienne, is poised to make his debut, and optimism abounds that Leicester have unearthed another rough diamond. He became their No 1 target at centre-half when Burnley's valuation of James Tarkowski escalated towards £40m (€44m), and a deal was completed on deadline day. Fofana has made only 30 appearances in his career so far, yet manager Brendan Rodgers is already insisting the teenager could prove a bargain. "My message has always been to sign players that would be no risk, and Wesley has got huge potential," said Rodgers. "There's not too big a risk there because of his game and all the analysis that has gone into that. He's the type of defender I love, super-quick and aggressive, and he can pass the ball. I'm looking forward to seeing him blossom." Fofana is already working closely with Kolo Toure, the former Arsenal and Manchester City centre-half and one of Rodgers' senior coaches. Toure has played a key role in the development of Caglar Soyuncu, and has taken Fofana under his wing, with training sessions and video analysis. "That is one of Kolo's roles, to specifically look at the defenders. He's got great experience in that position and he can really help Wesley, along with senior players like Wes Morgan and Jonny Evans." While Fofana was the most costly signing of Leicester's summer - with the deal only made possible by Ben Chilwell's £50m sale to Chelsea - the capture of Castagne from Atalanta already appears shrewd. There is confidence that Under, the Turkish winger taken on loan from Roma, will also prove a success. Leicester's recruitment team has undergone many changes since the title win in 2016, with many staff members either departing or lured away, but the fundamental approach always remains the same. If someone does leave, there is a plan in place for the transition. Wyscout, Instat, StatsBomb, Opta and Scout7 are vital in the armoury of any top-flight club while databases, video footage and executive reports form the background of any potential signing. Leicester prefer to scout players for over 12 months and Rodgers wants all signings to fit the profile of how his team plays and trains. Castagne, for example, was on Leicester's watch-list from his time in Belgium with Genk from 2013-'17. Jon Rudkin, the club's director of football, oversees the recruitment department which is now headed up by Lee Congerton, who worked with Rodgers at Celtic and Chelsea. Mystery surrounds the exact number of staff, with Leicester notoriously guarded on the identities and preferring to keep their work private. There is probably a degree of caution due to the complex nature of recruitment: for every Mahrez, there is always the risk of an Ahmed Musa. A crucial figure in the discovery of Fofana is understood to have been Philippe Pelluault, a Leicester scout based in France, who also played a pivotal role in the signing of Odsonne Edouard from Paris Saint-Germain when Rodgers was in charge at Celtic. Rodgers said: "The guys within Lee's recruitment team are very talented guys and understand the market very well. We know we cannot go out and sign the £60-£90m players. Our resources were limited so we had to be specific with the positions we targeted." Telegraph 1 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
