Never ever fall for the PL proven rhetoric when you have the possibility of signing a top class player. He'll play for Real Madrid.

Totally agree with this. Premier League proven is just shorthand for "not good enough."

 

Can't wait for someone to sign "proven Premier League winger" Demarai Gray in the summer...

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

Walks into any side in the league already at 19!

He’s giving me the Kante vibes. Every time he’s anywhere near the ball you just feel safe because you know he’s either going to win it back or play the right pass. As others have said, Soyuncu is brilliant but still makes you a little nervous sometimes. Fofana is different gravy. 

That's how I feel. He's so reassuring. He's made the impact of a player I'd expect to go on to play for the very top teams to make.

 

I say with confidence he's got a superb career ahead of him.

[CosbehFox]

His composure is absolutely unreal. More of an Evans type than Cags. 
 

Has that little difference in acceleration which is so important in modern centre backs 

[gerrytaggart]

Class act. 

[Hammo]

Steer clear of injury, and this kid is going to be world class. A mixture of Rio Ferdinand and Des Walker. Absolute quality.

[Collymore]

He looks like the real deal

[HeskeyMuzzy]

Imagine a back 5 with Pereira,Fofana,Evans,Soyuncu and Castagne. That would be really really good. Pereira and Castagne can attack as much as they want. The 2 upfront can be Vardy and Under around him.

[lgfualol]

Didnt expect him to be THIS good. Jesus christ.

 

Ricardo Fofana Soyuncu Castagne is a title winning backline.

Agree with that. I think that back 4 is as good as Liverpool back 4.

[mozartfox]

To think many on here would have preferred we signed Tardonkey......👀

[LCCFox96]

When we signed Fofana I was really pleased - I'd only seen him play once (in the French Cup final) and he was relatively inexperienced but he had a reputation of being an outstanding young talent, the kind I'm always happy to see us roll the dice on.

 

With some top quality CB's, European football and good group of French speaking players to help him settle, we seemed like a great fit for him but I expected a Soyuncu style settling in period where he was worked on at the training ground and integrated into the squad across the cups/Europa League and covered for injuries in the league. Longer term he could be a big player for us, but short term we needed to build him up. Essentially any major form we got from him in Year 1 would be a bonus.

 

But **** me what a bonus he's been. Seriously, seriously impressed, he's absolutely mustard.

[foxfanazer]

He looks like the absolute business. Can't believe how seemlessly he's slotted in to life in the prem. Scary potential

[SecretPro]

Absolute baller 

[Mike Oxlong]

He’s shit

and then you can put n’Didi in front of them...   have a front three of Vardy with Barnes and Under either side and Maddison + Tielemans behind them. outrageous.

[sheffield_fox]

I wouldnt have really wanted us to go 5 at the back but we could end up having 5 undroppable defenders.

 

The success we've had in the transfer market in the last few years has been remarkable. There are very few clubs that wouldn't be jealous. What a time to be a Leicester fan!

 

Hopefully we hold onto Fofana for as long as possible.

We'll probably have had to replace Vardy by the time that team had gelled together. If we replace Vardy as well as we've replaced Maguire, for example, that looks like a potentially  title winning side to me. Am I crazy? 

[ARM1968]

Can’t say I’m that impressed yet. Mind you couldn’t see what all the fuss was about in the Sistine Chapel. Floor was fuching shit.

Replacing Vardy is a different kettle of fish to someone like Maguire. Not only because Vardy is genuinely world class in his position as opposed to above average but also because we won't be replacing him with 80m in our pockets.

 

The chance we get a striker as good as Vardy playing for us in our lifetimes is small.

....Swap out Under or Barnes for Evans when we come up against teams who dominate possession. 

[coolhandfox]

Looks a class act.

[TamworthFoxes]

Little surprised he wasn’t highlighted by the pundits on motd 2. Won’t be long and then the usual job of them linking him with City or United every week.

[LCFOX92]

As good as he's been and he has been top quality I'd be interested to see him without evans there cos I feel like evans gives him the license to play like he is currently either way tho 30 mill is looking like a bargain.

[Alan Frost]

I like what I've read aboutvhimbut a bit worried when after walking 30 yards he had to lean on the wall. Only joking Wesley, you've made a bit of impact already.
