I hate this attitude. I notice Doyle doesn't do it, and it's not like he's not ever made a mistake.

Maybe it's just because he's about twelve, so a bit shy with the grown ups.

I agree with you re: Coady, but find it so odd that Faes needs that. By all accounts he was a big leader for Reims, and wasn't he even their captain? That was one of the big attributes he was supposed to bring, but I've yet to see those leadership qualities in him.

His leadership qualities amount to throwing his arms up in the air every time we concede, even when he is solely to blame!

Just got the feeling that he thinks he's to good for the championship with his performance today. Got caught with the ball to many times.

That’s his biggest issue.

Some rather poor moments from Faes tonight when it came anticipating when to step up to head a ball

 

Sometimes he was just letting it bounce first and then going for it which let the Tranmere striker have a chance to close the space and compete for it

Leicester City star admits to transfer discussions – But believes he may be in right place after all

 

Leicester City defender Wout Faes has admitted he held discussions about a move away this summer, but ultimately decided against it.

 

The centre-back has been speaking to Humo regarding his situation at Leicester and their relegation from the Championship last season.

 

The defender joined the Foxes late in the summer last year after they sold Wesley Fofana to Chelsea and was immediately thrown in to the deep end by then manager Brendan Rodgers.

 

He endured something of a rocky start to life at the club but eventually picked up and ended up as one of Leicester’s better performers in an otherwise disastrous campaign.

 

That meant there were likely suitors for him in the summer window, with several of the Foxes’ bigger name players, such as James Maddison, Harvey Barnes and Youri Tielemans, all heading for pastures new.

 

Faes elected to stay where he was but admits there were discussions about a possible move away from the King Power.

 

“There have been discussions,” he said.

 

“But there was also no point in choosing a club where I would sit on the bench. That would have been detrimental to my position with the national team.”

 

The focus for Faes and his teammates is now on securing a return to the Premier League at the first time of asking.

 

That’s a task they’re seemingly keen to accomplish, with a flying start to life under Enzo Maresca seeing them with four of their first five games and take 12 points from 15 so far.

 

They’re currently joint second in the Championship and just a point off leaders Preston, a position many are confident they will maintain or improve on in the coming months.

 

That is certainly the aim for the club and Faes admits he thinks a season of competing for a title with Leicester may end up being more beneficial than mid-table in the Premier League.

 

“We are playing for the title. Is it better to chase an elusive ball in the Premier League for an entire season?” he added.

 

“The level in the Championship is also not nothing. In England they call it the most difficult competition in the world.”

Yes he's honest enough to admit that moving to sit on the bench would be no good for playing for Belgium but I'm sure money comes into it too. I bet he's on a good wedge even after relegation and he probably found that clubs would not be increasing his wage in a transfer.

 

We needed to be ruthless with these types of players, say he's on 50k a week in the Championship - there's probably lots of players that would be happy on 25k that could do a better job than him.

Loving this marauding Wout we've seen in the last couple of weeks.

 

Right up there involved in the forward play again today, exchanging penetrating passes and moving, instrumental in two goals, this is a string to his bow that is surprising, unlikely and sometimes scarcely believable - it's like seeing a carthorse at the races. Can't get enough of Big Wout on safari at the minute!

Courtois taking a swipe at Faes…

Courtois….the one who thinks he is the idol of Belgium, the truth is that not many Belgians want him back in our National team, and many Belgians despise him, also he has never mentioned the name of FAES….but all the Belgian players of Leicester, the tone was (and he speaks my language, so I understand it perfect) that no players of Leicester should be in the National team because of the relegation of Leicester…COURTOIS is…an ugly thick neck stupid object….we made it so far without the nose….

If only he was a yard quicker and he’d comfortably make the step up at LCB in the PL for me.

 

He has those rash moments but when we’re playing well he seems to limit those.
