I really don’t get anyone that has this point of view… I mean I still see people clambering for Vestergaard to be dropped for Coady despite Vestergaard pretty much becoming one of the first names on the team sheet all 4 have had games this season and I genuinely don’t think Souttar or Coady have looked comfortable enough with the ball at their feet to displace either Jannick or Wout who’ve both shone in this system due to being very comfortable on the ball Edited 15 December 2023 by dbtcity 4

A good player does not just become a bad over night, its managers who have there favourits they make these problems. Now I standing up for Soutter he is just going though what Vestergaard went though last year with Rogers in charge. Soutter was a very good player when we brought him and he still is a very good player now again its just the manager who has changed. We got relegated. Vestergaard and Faes both didn't look up to it in the PL but both look good a division below. Happens to lots of players. Likewise I never liked what I saw of Souttar. And if Enzo doesn't rate him too that's good enough for me, we are top after all. 2
MPH Posted 9 January 2024 Posted 9 January 2024 From a Scottish rag. There’s been rumors of a bid from Rangers for a while now… Outcast Harry Souttar will reportedly be allowed to leave Leicester City this month. Rangers appeared to be in the running for the Australia international last summer who has dropped out of the Leicester side since the arrival of boss Enzo Maresca. Reports south of the border stated that the Socceroo and the club were keen on a loan exit for the defender who arrived for £15million a year ago - and he could get his chance this month. The Athletic state that City are willing to listen to offers for the fringe man. He is currently with the Oz squad at the Asian Cup.

coolhandfox Posted 12 January 2024 Posted 12 January 2024 Could be good news. Probably turn them down knowing our luck. 1 2

moore_94 Posted 12 January 2024 Posted 12 January 2024 Souttar would help them out when it comes to the Asian Champions League as he would be classed as an "Asian player" 2

Ric Flair Posted 12 January 2024 Posted 12 January 2024 Wild thing is, if we sold him for £10m this month we'd be worse off in this seasons accounts than if we didn't sell him. Would have to be £12m or more to free up funds to buy. 1

We don't, I'm just saying that sometimes the notion we should just sell unwanted players is actually not that easy. Balance sheets make for some illogical decisions. 4
South Shire Fox Posted 13 January 2024 Posted 13 January 2024 (edited) Id rather keep him and sell Coady in the summer tbh. Im sure a team that drops down from the Prem would sign him for the same reason we did. Souttars a decent ball playing defender Edited 13 January 2024 by South Shire Fox 3
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 13 January 2024 Posted 13 January 2024 Would be a great piece of business if we could get it done. Imagine he’s on a decent wage too as signed when we were desperate. Hopefully this comes off with Ward and either Praet, Soumare or both not far behind.
Sly Posted 13 January 2024 Posted 13 January 2024 We’re still in rebuild mode realistically and we need to move on the likes of Souttar, Soumare, Thomas, Ward, Kristensen etc on a permanent basis. Even if we don’t replace all of them this transfer window, I’d rather have one of two players that actually aid the first team squad. We will be looking at other transfer for the summer, so generating space now for the long term, isn’t a bad thing. 1
Sly Posted 13 January 2024 Posted 13 January 2024 Souttar has played just one league game this season and observes that when the team is flying as Leicester currently is, it’s difficult to break into the team. “It’s been a frustrating time,” he says. But discussions on his club future, he says, are for later, as his focus right now is on representing the Socceroos at an AFC Asian Cup. That’s a goal that has driven him to keep putting in the work, day after day, during his long spell on the sidelines in the Midlands. “Knowing that the Asian Cup was always around the corner … it was always kind of just try and get yourself as fit as you can,” Souttar says. “Even though you’re not going to be playing a lot, do extra sessions here and there and keep yourself as top fit as best you can. I’ve worked so hard to get here, so my full concentration is on the next month and a half.” —————————————————— I’m guessing he’s focussing on the Asian Cup and that’s it basically.
Mike Oxlong Posted 13 January 2024 Posted 13 January 2024 Obviously I don’t know how he performs in training but to me it seems as if he hasn’t really had a fair crack of the whip during his time with us 1

Australia play India in their opening game of the Asian Cup at 2.30pm here in Qatar (11.30 am Uk time) and Souttar is sure to be in the Oz starting 11. Expecting Australia to win easily. They beat India 4-0 earlier this year but have lost to them 3 times in the past (out of 9 games). I have tickets so will be there. 1

Please also undertake a detailed psycho-analysis of Harry based on things like: overall performance; body language; amount he smiles; twinkle in his eye; celebrates a goal by rubbing his hands together in a 'cash money' style gesticulation etc. etc. The please report back with a score of between 1-10. 1 being he's back down the Saff straight after the cup and 10 being he's almost certainly sunning himself in Saudi by Feb. Cheers.
