FoxinNotts Posted 9 January 2020 Posted 9 January 2020 Surely this thread will be going hot soon? Rumours (on here) indicating that we have put in a bid for a loan of him. Hope this is the case. It’s a real boost to have a fresh face amongst the playing staff. Nothing to lose in doing this loan move.

I’m not saying he’s any good or rubbish I just find it confusing that fans get so embroiled in pointless information before he’s even joined. Just gives people a negative outlook on the player before he’s even played. Little bit like ghezzal. He’s shit, but a majority of fans decided he was shit and almost hoped he was shot before he’d even played so it suited what they had read previously. But I guess that’s their prerogative. On the one hand you dismiss the opinions of fans that see players every week and then you make a case (Ghezzal) for why we should take heed of their opinions. No one wanted Ghezzal to be shit but you could see it coming a mile off.

Just because he was awful here doesn’t mean heeding the opinion of fans is a great idea. Plenty of people were underwhelmed with Morgan/Albrighton/Simpson, they turned out to be great.

Maybe but we're talking about fans of the selling club here. Were Forest or Villa fans keen to see the back of those two? I don't know, but when fans of selling clubs are turning metaphoric cartwheels when their player leaves and in numbers rather than just the odd one, it has to set alarm bells ringing, at least in my head. The two that stand out are Musa and Ghezzal and of course the fans that watched them week in week out were proven right.

Well done that you predicted that some of our signings would be good and some would be bad? Maybe we should get you in as a scout you seem decent!
bmt Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 If Chilwell was to leave Leicester half of foxestalk would be saying how shit he was, and then he would go and be good elsewhere. I'll take fan opinion with a pinch of salt.

That's what I mean - "I'll drive him and won't even charge him the petrol!!" brigade are out. I don't think general fan opinion is a very good benchmark

No need for the attitude, we can have a discussion and different points of view without stooping to that can't we? It's not about whether I can spot a good or bad player, I have been wrong plenty of times in the past, but we're not talking about me, we are talking about whether we take note of the fans of selling clubs if if there seems to be a consensus that they would like a player out. Rugani is a case in point. I don't know enough about him to have an opinion but the fact that Juve fans don't seem to rate him leaves me with a certain amount of trepidation.

Same situation as Tielemans, no one would say he’s shit if he left but he’s been dog recently Needed to edit this, as I think I quoted the wrong person, guess it’s more aimed and those pilling into Ben and Youri. Totally get this, but it’s a bit of self gratification don’t you think? Bitching and moaning about said player does not actually achieve a great deal apart from the person proclaiming it. Better to pass on an encouraging rhetoric in the hope it become established and manifests itself at game’s
NasPb Posted 10 January 2020 Posted 10 January 2020 Actually rate rugani think he just doesn't fit in with sarri

foxes_rule1978 Posted 11 January 2020 Posted 11 January 2020 Get him for a cut price I say, only 25 and experienced. He isn’t having a great time at Juventus but has proven himself in the past to be very capable. Smalling wasn’t like at Man U, moved to Roma and is proving to be a solid defender
PNM Posted 15 January 2020 Posted 15 January 2020 Hi all, new to the forum. Makes sense following Chiellini and Demiral’s injuries. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-transfer-news-rugani-3739684
