He is a good/very good prospect but he has loads to learn and would definitely NOT sort out our defensive problems. Watched him a lot for Huddersfield last season, and whilst largely being solid also showed naivety at times. If he chooses to move it will be for opportunity of game time which would be very limited here at Leicester. If he is our main target, it will be for 2 seasons time, not this coming season. giphy (3).webp

kingfox Posted 19 July 2022 Posted 19 July 2022 21 minutes ago, Cardiff_Fox said: I've heard it before - people don't use the same what if with City on here. If it was a City team letting in late goals, it wouldn't be unlucky. We'd have fans raging from that we are mentally weak. Again 'from that perspective', would have been top 10 is the same sort of stick derided by Leicester fans when it comes to missing out of the top 4. Olise is brilliant as a prospect is - scored two goals at a rate of one per 500 minutes; Lookman for example scored at a better ratio. We didn't wait, wait and wait as we were only in the market for a CB once Fofana was injured. I have seen City fans do it in the last twelve months with Brighton and West Ham as well - the reality is when the shit comes to shove, they will be in the same 'dead end' we are. The reality was as well on paper the capture of both Daka and Soumare looked astute. How many times have we seen us be mentally weak though over the past few seasons? Easily double figures worth. Palace conceded late equalisers in 3-4 matches, from a performance standpoint though, you could see positives. From our perspective we’ve been bottlers & naive far too many times. Olise would most definitely start as our RW. Palace bedded him slower than many expected last season, in the second half of last season he became more of a regular starter. We saw first hand what he was capable of, when he tore us apart in the second half at Selhurst Park. There was numerous discussions on here prior to Fofana getting injured about needing a defender, especially with the injury niggles Evans kept experiencing. Fofana then got injured, a defender became even more of a priority, when we should have pulled the trigger before his injury. At the end of the day, West Ham pipped us to 7th which means European Football, they’re on the brink of strengthening where you fully expect them to potentially tackle the top six again. I wouldn’t put Crystal Palace in their range, but you can see a forward plan with a team like Palace, they’ve had two transfer windows that we’ve been used to experiencing in recent years.

Maybe a little early to be saying that about this seasons window, proof in the pudding is the eating.

Lambert09 Posted 19 July 2022 Posted 19 July 2022 the problem with all this interest, is that chelsea will have the power to demand a buy back… and someone will agree to it. im not convinced we would, unless it is very reasonable

Will you stop being so sensible with your posting! I’ve read a few of your yours recently and found myself nodding in agreement, by and large Its giving me cognitive dissonance and emotional turmoil… 😉

For info, Palace conceded 7 late goals that had a deciding factor on games, that’s quite a weakness if it ends up affecting nearly a fifth of your games. It’s a factor when you max out on ‘prospect’ without combining some know how. Edited 19 July 2022 by Cardiff_Fox

The late equalisers they conceded against Brighton twice and Arsenal cost them six points. It’s all about what ifs, you can say numerous what ifs regarding Leicester, but from Palace’s perspective, if they held onto those leads they would have finished above us. Only seven points separated us and 14th place Aston Villa, despite us finishing 8th, unfortunately six teams closed the gap on us considerably last season. For some of those teams you could see a forward plan, they’ve continued that forward plan so far this summer, while we sit, twiddle our thumbs and hope for some actual positivity at some point.

Us failing to get top four twice, plus some of our performances last season, were way more embarrassing than the three late equalisers Palace conceded last season. And everyone knows the current difficulties of this summer, but those difficulties could well lead to us slipping behind, while teams around us get better and overtake us, I hope it doesn’t come to that, but with the way things are going, it wouldn’t be surprising now would it. What has this debate got to do with Levi Colwill though 🤔😂

An Sionnach Posted 19 July 2022 Posted 19 July 2022 Colwill is not another Fofana , and Wesley cost a record fee for a teenage defender. He is very young and inexperienced . In some positions that can be worth the risk but at centre back that would not be advisable. He is probably a couple of years behind Chalobah who is still not a regular starter for Chelsea. If we are to replace Soyuncu we need somebody of similar age and experience. 2

Sounds like we need a strong, experienced guy, well I heard about this guy who is like a Viking Chiellini.
