Wesley Fofana: Signs For LCFC

[majaco]

Soyuncu isn't first choice.  Mad.

[cruzFOX]

This kid is way ahead of the curve! I bet Klopp is having wet dreams about buying foffers from us. I hope Top comes out and shuts down any and every club that start sniffing around our best lads.You know its coming. 

[Happy Fox]

Real Madrid will probably want him to replace Varane at some point.

 

France have so many good young defenders.

 

am I right in saying Kolo Toure scouted him or knew his dad or his dad? 

[Vardinio'sCat]

Brilliant reaction from Wesley, showing grace under pressure.

 

 

[JamesfromlondonLCFC]

i genuinely think he will go to real or barca or someone like that straight from us. his instincts and athleticism are insane, and hes not bad technically either, and rarely makes a mistake. genuinely unreal talent. 30 mil or whatever we paid looks a genuine steal

[Dandy king]

Motm tonight no doubt. 

[lcfcsnow]

I just hope to see him live playing for us.

[TrentFox]

Outstanding tonight. Absolutely superb. Loved Redknapp’s summation of him. 

[Ian Nacho]

Can’t be far of a France call up. 

[Chrysalis]

We have a future RM/Barca/PSG player here.  Enjoy it whilst it lasts.

I don't think we're too far away from seeing Fofana and Soyuncu playing alongside eachother. It's difficult because Evans is such an asset to this teams but Cags and Fofana would allow us to step up a bit and are both better on the ball. 

I'd be happy to be proven wrong, but I'm not sure it would work. 

 

Evans is the experienced Head helping Wes or Cags.

 

Similar to how Huth had the knowledge and got the defence organised.

 

I think they're both better than Evans, individually, but his experience is vital in guiding the younger players.

 

Fofana, Evans and Cags in a back 3 could be incredible.

[moseeds]

He's going to abroad for £150m. Can't see Man Utd being rinsed twice. Can't see Man City breaking their tight transfer cap. Can't see Chelsea buying any more. Liverpool haven't broken the bank since van Dijk. Fofana will down tools to force the move to PSG, Real or Barca. Until then let's enjoy his football. We might even get to see him knock a corner in.

Cags and Demiral work well together for turkey and theyre both loose cannons. I just cant see how cags and fofana would fail, too much pace and game intelligence between those two for it not to at least be the sum of its parts (two extremely high quality centrebacks) and for me it very well has the potential to be a patnership where they make each other better.

I hope you're right and as I say, I'm happy to be proved wrong.

 

Evans was slated on here a few weeks ago for a loss of form, but he's still pure class. His reading of the game is exceptional. 

 

Whichever way you look at it, it's a nice problem to have.

and that beauty is made possible by his seamless partnership with Evans. The dance they do allowing one to be aggressive while the other stays back I'll never figure out. Amazing how well they work together.

[Guest SO1]

Embarrassment of riches with our defenders. Long may it continue.

Yh i think that may have partly been me. I still think soyuncu and fofana are better for building up from the back because of their passing ability but the priority of defenders is to defend and evans has been an absolute rolls royce since the man united game, back to his best. Im still excited to see a soyuncu fofana partnership but on current form you cant complain with how fantastic evans fofana has been, as you said it's a good problem to have.

The option of the 3 of them fully fit for when Brendan feels 3 CB's are needed is exciting. 

 

Especially with the choice of wing backs we have.

 

You could almost play Evans as a sweeper and have Fofana and Cags roaming forward in to midfield, with Ricardo, Justin, Castagne or Albrighton dropping back to fill in!!!!

Nobody is gonna pay 150mill for a defender.

They will. 

 

Van Dijk has proven what a difference a commanding centre back can make.

 

And world class defenders are like rocking horse shit.

[LCFCbwoi]

Remember when the lad was pushing for a move to us and people were questioning his character and attitude?

 

I think it’s quite clear the amount of desire and aspiration this kid has, and even though we will only be a stepping stone in his career, I want and expect him to go on to achieve great thing. Colossal. 

[tom27111]

And I know it wouldn't have worked out how it is now, but...

 

If Maguire was still a Leicester City player, he'd be our fourth choice CB.

 

Man Utd's captain would literally be playing for our U-23's in the Papa John's Trophy 

[HankMarvin]

Subliminally warning us he will break out hearts with his haircut 

[NaijaFox]

Worth all 236 pages expended on him on Transfer Talk 

 

 

[Manwell Pablo]

He’s not even close to world class yet, he’s not even had a full international cap ffs and he’s played about bout 16 games for us and played like an utter spanner in at least three.

 

He was brilliant when he first arrived and he’s been brilliant in the last 4 games but I think it’s safe to say we needn’t worry about him leaving for a nine figure sum anytime soon. If he doesn’t complete this season and next season as a Leicester city player I’ll be shocked. If he keeps his performances close to the levels we’ve seen in 2/3’s of his games we may well have a problem next summer. But it will be an extremely lucrative problem.
