Faes better than fofana?

[Gamble92]

No one could have wished for a last minute replacement to have worked out this well

[Lambert09]

Not only have we got a guy who’s got class about him but imagine if we’d held on to fofana, had him sulking around and faking injuries… he would have stunk the place out. Good move in the end but don’t forget just how ratty chelsea we’re about the whole saga.

Credit the scouting team. They might have only had one dart to throw in the summer but at least they hit the bullseye.

I don't remember the return of Fofana stopping the steady flow of goals against at the end of last season.

 

Fofana is a tremendous athlete but Faes had made an immediate and hugely positive impact.  To answer OP's question, if I were offered the opportunity to swap Faes to have Fofana back, I would decline.

 

Great signing.

Having lived there for 4 years and watched pretty much every Alianza home game, I can assure you that Paddington is worth a shout. The rest, not so much.

Impact wise on a par with Huth arriving here.

I would also say,looking it like that...

IMO we came out better off with

Maguire

Chilwell 

Fofana..

On going

Ricardo>>Justin & we get to keep both.

 

4 top exchanges in 3-4 yrs...

a positive account..

For  a club our level..

Belgium has a pretty weak defence, will be interesting to see if he can do for them what he's done for us.

 

Happy for him, and I love the message it sends to potential signings moving forward.

[Spudulike]

No Dennis though?

Belguim look similar to England really, lots going forward but not a lot at the back. Hopefully he starts but agree it shows playing for little old Leicester does sometimes give you recognition internationally.

Recruitment team have played a blinder, already worth at least double what we payed 😂

[OntarioFox]

WOUT there it is

Commiserations to Dennis though, sad that he hasn't been given the game time.

[Hales]

Go on Faes! Brilliant! 🤩

Gutted for Dennis, the only LCFC Belgium not going 😔

[Solihullfox]

Wout said in his intro interview that when he and his wife heard that Leicester were in for him that they shed tears (in a good way before anyone comments 🙂)and I suspect he may well be crying again today

 

Congratulations Wout !!!

[AKCJ]

****ing chuffed for him.

 

He should start for them too.

[Stadt]

It's almost cartoonish how much of a difference he's made for us, he's made a huge step up look easy already so I'm sure he can slot straight in for the Belgiums

Would be interesting to have a chat with Dennis to see how he feels about BR !
