 What?  we never had anyone miles better than them to replace them they were already stars with bags of potential and ability

 

who is this star on the left you think we should develop in his place? 

Alves, maybe not a star, but has scored and assisted in the championship and in League 1.

 

Plus he is our, if Monga stays I'd develop them both, but if he goes I'd be looking to develop Alves and bring another young winger.

 

Not loan a player back who we have sold.

whilst Will can play in the left or the right, he’s primarily used down the middle, as an CM, AM or a number 10.

At Cardiff he spent the majority of his time on the left or right, from the games I watch for both Cardiff and Huddersfield that where he been most effective.

 

I lot will depend on who stays and who goes as to where he will get a opportunity.

Alves is far more dangerous out wide as one of his best assets is crossing and he also gets more space in wider areas.

Arsenal are set to submit a new bid for Jeremy Monga after Leicester Cityrebuffed their initial proposal for the 16-year-old gem.

The Gunners are willing to push hard to sign the talented wide prospect, who featured 27 times in the Championship for the Foxes last season as they were relegated to League One in gut-wrenching fashion.

Sources remain tight-lipped on the numbers behind Arsenal's opening offer but the direction of travel is that they will try again and that there's confidence the player wants to move to the Emirates Stadium - despite the efforts of other Premier League clubs including Newcastle and Brentford.

While negotiations can take place now, any deal is likely to be shelved until after July 10, when Monga will turn 17 and his first professional contract at the King Power Stadium will become active.

Leicester are in no hurry to sell given the raft of interest and will only do a deal once their financial valuation has been satisfied.

The sad reality is that if Monga was on loan from Arsenal last season he would have gotten more game time and fans would have been more lenient on him when he wasnt impacting matches despite limited minutes.

Initially I thought I agreed with that, but we got a Chelsea lad, Richards, who barely got a sniff and we had Mukasa from Man City who after a bright start was getting maligned for not being good enough when he later didn't produce.  So those 2 go some way to disproving it.

The first part is still true, Musaka got far more game time than Louis Page.

Mukasa still got almost as many minutes in half a season as Monga did in the whole season.

 

You also had fans using Mukasa's early form as a stick to beat our academy players with. Lots of "this is why we can't call our talents generational as this guy is so much better". Also it didn't make sense as generational is only used from a Leicester perspective, we don't produce talents like Monga often. Of course he's not a once in a life time player from a national perspective.

[coolhandfox]

Page shoukd have got Mukasa minutes.

 

Had a good game and half but was dreadful for the rest.

Potential only started this stage. Never saw him beat a man.Never a Heskey or a Jochaim .

Crossing and getting into space isn't really our style or something our wingers are known for doing.  I'm not sure the coaches have got to that page in the training guide yet.  We have a more cultured style of a stand still, step over 5 times and pass backwards.

Arsenal supporting mate reckons the opening offer was £4mil. He also said he's not surprised we told them where to go

Didn't watch us much then? Numerous times he skinned a full back or put one on his arse.

 

 

[burleighfox]

Still needs time playing against and among more experienced players to reach his full potential; he won't get much better playing under 21 football for the next four years which seems to be the pattern when the bigger clubs comes sniffing after teenagers!

Ok point taken.He did once or twice.

Good Luck to the lad

[lcfc_forever]

Looks like this is almost sorted, Romano reposted his message about the deal and TalkSport reporting a fee is agreed. 
 

 

[DezFox]

Good to see we held out for bare minimum.

[Jon the Hat]

Good luck to him.  Run away!

[ceebeefox]

Going to them of all clubs, he’s dead to me!

Has a £5m + add ons vibe aka undisclosed fee.

[mozartfox]

It will be undisclosed to hide the fact that Rudkin's thong is around his ankles once more.

Edited 23 June by mozartfox

[Muzzy_no7]

Very likely gonna be 10m of which almost half is time and performance related.

 

Spudders with his pants down as usual.
