Wesley Fofana: Signs For LCFC

[Long Eaton Fox]

Saint-Étienne have lost every game since Fofana left 

[foxile5]

Dunno if it's been mentioned in this love-in but he wears all black boots and I ****ing live for that.

Worrying that he talks about wanting to play for chelsea when he was younger (cos of drogba) considering their RCB is 35 and fofana's already shown he's willing to force moves to other clubs.

Kante all over again

No release clause though. 

 

He can speak to as many French newspapers as he likes, they'll still have to stump up the 100m asking price if they want him in the next 2 summer windows. 

[nwl fox]

If he thought it was hard forcing a move out of St Etienne he should probably have a chat with Mr Mahrez about how easy it is to force a move out of LCFC 😂

I've heard some say Foffana is starting to look like a young Rio Ferdinand. That means pretty soon Manu will be after him for big bucks in the summer!

He does remind me of a young Rio.

When we signed him , i read somewhere that his dynamic acceleration was like Mbappe and that's some claim!  watching him track back to cover ground today i could see what they meant, the kid is absolute lightning 

[Jaspa]

Knees are thicker than his thighs.

 

Get Big Wes teaching him how to do squats, get those twigs into trunks, lad

Have we ever had a faster CB? He looks rapid. 

[goose2010]

His leap has what has impressed me the most. He is winning every header. Will be a threat attacking corners to which is what we are desperately in need of. 

[Hales]

To do as well as he is already when there is a language barrier is brilliant. To move to a different country and not know anyone at his age and achieve what he has so far bodes well for his future. It's also testament to the team how well the new signings have settled in and integrated. Cengo looks a lot happier now than a couple of weeks ago. Timmy has slotted in seamlessly (he seems close to Praet so that's helped). I'm excited for this season!

This  guys not Human surely 

[foxfanazer]

Probably the player with the highest ceiling in our squad. Looks sensational 

[Dames]

Double his pay and give him 6 more years. He will be worth £150 million very soon.

[Babylon]

19 ffs mad

[Webbo]

For 19 he's incredible. When Evan and Soyunchu are also fit, who do you drop?

[jeffschlupp]

Makes Maguire look like Ryan Bennett with one leg

 

Absolute genius recruitment

Would like to see a race between him and Cags, didn’t he clock one of the fastest sprints in the prem last year?

Wow 🤩 just wow, what a signing, and it’s a good job we did considering the injuries.

Of course we’re obviously going to have to put up with him being linked with the “big 6” forever and a day

On Sky Rodgers said his leap is so good he can clear the stadium!

 

The kid is unreal though. Brilliant signing!
