Hide Wesley Fofana

[StriderHiryu]

You might have heard of these "rumours" of Leicester City signing a phenomenal centre back who at just 19 years old is taking the Premier League by storm.

 

I am here to categorically shut down this rumour. It's simply not true. Wesley Fofana is in fact a Rugby player who plays for ASM Clermont Auvergne in France.

 

 

Besides even if we did have a player by that name, you wouldn't be able to find him.

 

 

And he most certainly would not be making tackles like this:

 

 

FAKE NEWS! So please move on and disregard any rumours you might have heard. Leicester City do have a Wesley, but it's Wesley Morgan you are thinking of, captain of the 5000-1 underdgos that won the Premier League in 2015/16.

If he carries on like this I can't see him staying with us for more than 1 season. We are more than likely just a stepping stone

We will make sure we get a lot for him. We aren’t easy to buy from 

[KFS]

He’s a Barca type signing. Generational

talent.

I remember watching Ricardos first half a dozen games and thinking “bloody hell, he’s far too good for us and is destined for bigger things”.

Having exactly the same thoughts about this kid.

If we carry on like this, he could be with us for 15 years

Am I the only one who thinks their salad days are behind them? Messi isn't getting any younger and once he departs I think they fall off significantly in prestige and results. 

 

I get that we cannot stop the stupid money that can be raised for deals like these, but I imagine we will continue to use it to our advantage. 

 

Finally - I understand its hard not to see Leicester as this little East Midlands club, but we are sitting here first in the PL and probably a top 20 team in the world; we're not the West Turdshire Rovers trying to hang onto our one competent player. We have a lot to offer and a lot of leverage.

He needs to spend most of his time standing directly behind our taller players.

On a different note. What was Maddison doing kneeling behind the wall on that free kick?

[Claridge]

Chilwell and Maguire back  instead of fofana?

barca financial issues means they likely will fall away in terms of pulling power for a while. obvs a huge club that will return to it eventually, but i imagine it will be at least a few years before theyre a real big threat at the top of the footballing tree.

Him too. When these two get together it’ll be frightening.

Cleverly stopping the prospect of a low driven free kick that can go under the wall when they all jump.

[TeaMen Tom]

I'm surprised we haven't seen a 'ManU keen on 19 Year Old Leicester phenom' story yet. 

[stevebfox]

His level of defending and confidence for a 19 year old... everytime I see him he impresses more. I was a bit worried he was too right footed, no concerns anymore, the kid is a class act I've not seen before at this age. Hope we have for two or three years but fear the vultures will be circling next summer. Still as others have said, we will get our money's worth and a hell of a transfer fee when he does. Again, bloody amazing for his age.

He’ll be offered a new contract end of the season for sure

[kingfox]

Wes Fofana is not the best defender to ever play the game, whoever made that statement is a delusional cvnt.

 

He is just a poor man’s Zack Whitbread.

That's really sad. I've never thought that a player is 'far too good for us'. 

 

Disappointing.

Got a bang on the head, thought it was the start of the game.

A social media post I think

Kante, but I did try to put that to one side after the first couple of games.

Why is it sad?

I believe Ricardo and (potentially) Fofana are good enough to play for an elite European club like Barca, Bayern or Madrid. What’s disappointing about that?
