Article suggesting a group of players who have kicked on from underwhelming first seasons. Features the bit on Cags below and also mentions Mahrez. Particularly enjoyed the line about United signing our third best CB :giggle:

Caglar Soyuncu (Leicester City)
The sale of Harry Maguire for £80million will have been a concern to Foxes fans; not so much because they were losing a great defender, but because they made no move to replace him. Turns out they had nothing to worry about.

 

Leicester have the joint-best defence in the Premier League, conceding just eight goals in their opening 11 games. Under-the-radar centre-back Jonny Evans, just starting to receive the acclaim he has warranted throughout his career, has Caglar Soyuncu alongside him. He is the Turkish international who made just six Premier League appearances last season and looked overawed in all of them.

 

But the 23-year-old centre-back – with a face like it’s been carved from marble – is now coming close to living up to the God-like status his facial features imply. The odd heart-in-mouth moment as he Cruyff turns in his penalty area aside, he’s as reliable this season as he was deemed mistake-prone last. He’s comfortable on the ball, dominant in the air and has no small amount of ability in front of goal, as proven by his stooping header against Crystal Palace.

 

Did Manchester United accidentally sign Leicester’s third-best centre-back?

The LCFC social media crew is shamelessly putting him in about half the posts they add to get that Turkish metrics bump - it's not tiresome yet, but its wholly transparent to anyone with an inkling of familiarity in that world.

He has absolutely no qualms whatsoever of just smashing the ball over the stand.

 

Any player that can hoof the ball over the West Stand demands respect. As soon as Cags did it, I knew he was the player for us. I don't think any other player has managed it.... I remember one over the East Stand (not sure who).

That my friend, was our Jeff from palace 😂
