Him: Timmy Chestnuts is a brilliant nickname but Castagne in Italian is Chestnuts and this guy is from Belgium. Can we really justify calling him Timmy Chestnuts just because he played in Italy for a few years and that's where we got him from? Also, he's supposed to be a right back. Is he really a replacement for Chilwell? So..French-Belgien playing in Italy...A Good buy. Hes a Fighting Chesnut...I Flemish...hes still a Castagne... So Timmy is the best compromise...unless he goes nuts and Scores goals,with his conker.. God ..I've Gotta get a life..!!

Timmy Conkers sounds like the name of a children's entertainer from the 70's who is now serving at 13 year sentence.

st albans fox Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Just read an article which mentioned that arsenal were also interested but our ability to get the deal done now counted in our favour. so getting ben through the out door did matter - does that mean you lose a few million on that sale to make sure you secure the replacement ??? its way more complex than we imagine, especially with agents involved everywhere
StanSP Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 He's rated higher in fantasy league than Arsenal's Gabriel which is surprising I think. 5.5m.

StriderHiryu Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Unsurprisingly he speaks great English. Given that he's coming from a team that play a high pressing style and produced the best numbers in terms of running whilst at Genk, I'd be surprised if he doesn't turn out to be a good signing. At the end of last season our running numbers and overall energy levels took a big dip too, so having someone that comes in with the energy and lungs to get up and down all day will certainly benefit the side in the early few weeks. Looking forwards to seeing him lineup with the team, and good to see someone (Tielemans? Praet?) lent him a Leicester top for the interview!
OntarioFox Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 He has a lovely squashed-pudding face. Almost reminds me of... of... Is this the transfer window equivalent of your parents getting you a new cat after telling you the old one went on "holiday" forever?

rachhere Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 First impressions, I think he will fit in well! Seeing we were interested in him last summer, I wonder if the friendly match was part of our plan to lure him in?
Sampson Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 9 hours ago, Raw Dykes said: I'm going to predict no.23, because that's both full-back numbers in one. Oh his name is Timmy Chestnut, Leicester's number twenty-three. They say "he's not a real left-back" But he don't smile when we lose or use Brylcreem
Leicester_Loyal Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Really looking forward to his debut, hopefully he's available for WBA.

UHDrive Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Love him already. The team focus now though can and should be to attack other teams psychologically by switching full backs and switching wingers as well during open play to shake things up.
Harry96 Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 Hoping to see him in action tomorrow against kaspers Denmark.Meunier will probably get the nod though. Tielemans likely to start I reckon.
Guest the fox Posted 4 September 2020 Posted 4 September 2020 So, the question is, can he play RCB? He has the size and the ability from what I saw. It's possible to play 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2. Maybe he will cover for Ricardo until the return from injury then BR will try it. I won't be surprised if BR trys him at RCB and Marc as RWB at the start of the season.

I won't be surprised if BR trys him at RCB and Marc as RWB at the start of the season. He is a great defender, but aerial duels are his weak point. I've seen him play CB once and he was good. But to play there for a long time, I don't know.
