I’m 43 and more mobile than Soumare lol

I think Big John would beat him in a sprint after one of his signature chinese takeaways.

Skipp is laughably bad. Do you think we signed him to make Soumare feel better about himself?

Sometimes I watch him play and think he reminds of those kids who would play because it’s “his ball”

Marti has clearly identified Jakub is not the answer hence the new gk

It’s a shame we still aren’t in the league cup, as it would give us a chance to look at a few more players.

When was the last time we had a goalkeeper who didn’t kick the ball out of play more often that not? Definitely since (and including) Kasper it’s been all of them.

What annoys me about Soumare, is that he has ability.
 

He’s just got awareness of danger around him.

You're setting yourself up to get annoyed if you really think he's going to be building the team around teenagers mate. There is not a single manager in the world that would do that.

 

Monga, Page, Aluko, Evans etc will all probably get considerable game time. I would expect that Leicester will have the highest number of minutes played by teenagers by the end of the season by a considerable distance.

Yeah I most certainly am and I don't accept that there's not a single manager in the world that would do that. Anyway, my biggest annoyance is about the absence of a 21 year old who has proven himself at this level and very much should have the team built around him. 

 

Monga is an impact player who'll start 20-25 games which is fine. Page is possibly the one that might start more if today's showing answers anything. It's the Nelson one thats mystifying. I'm yet to hear any good reasoning for it.

I would love to see Nelson in the starting Xl but I have a feeling there is something not right since his injury or the issue he had in pre season.

Yep. He's not carrying a knock despite what people keep saying. I don't know where that idea came from.

 

He probably didn't play for England u21s because he's only played 90 minutes of competitive football since he left Oxford at the end of last season. 

 

Anyone who judges him on a dodgy first half against Huddersfield needs to apply the same standards to our other players and shows they've not watched him play every week for a manager, team and fan base who value him.

 

We're neglecting a major asset. Never mind Wout having to leave if he wants to play for his country, Nelson does too. I wouldn't blame his agent if he'd already started letting it be known that he'd be open to a permanent move in January. I believe there were already suitors this summer. The way we're treating him there are only going to be more.

 

It's very strange.

Not technically.

 

I meant he has technical ability, just lacking awareness.

Vocabulary Summarily lol

 

Even subtitles have autocorrect problems.

Yep, seems like manager and club have different views. I would imagine his agent will be out and about for January and there will be no shortage of suitors but will the club let him out for experience or cash in?? 😔😔
