StanSP Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 I hope it'll be Vitor and Mee in the middle then. But more likely Vitor/Bruma.
Simmo86 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Be interesting to see how Bruma gets on without Bombscare beside him
Bert Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 I hope it'll be Vitor and Mee in the middle then. But more likely Vitor/Bruma. Yup. It'll have to be because with Naughton, PVA, Kamara and Yakubu, it only leaves space for one more domestic loanee in the matchday squad.
Haydos Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Yup. It'll have to be because with Naughton, PVA, Kamara and Yakubu, it only leaves space for one more domestic loanee in the matchday squad. All the more reason to play Berner and stick Vitor and Mee in the middle. Won't happen though but it'll be interesting to see how Bruma is with Vitor.
leicesterseddon Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 This is the best news in ages. That man is an absolute liability...
Bert Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 All the more reason to play Berner and stick Vitor and Mee in the middle. Won't happen though but it'll be interesting to see how Bruma is with Vitor. Vitor is so calm and collected and it might relax JB more. Still, we'll see.
Haydos Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Vitor is so calm and collected and it might relax JB more. Still, we'll see. That's the impression I got when they were together on saturday.
TheUltimateWinner Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Would love to see Mee back in the team, Guy is absolute quality.
Jimmy Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 we only have 5 domestic loanees anyway don't we so Mee and Vitor would be the best ballance to the back 4
Charl91 Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 scapegoat Say that all you like, but I'm still going to maintain that Bamba generally looks solid while playing as RCB alongside Mee, while Bruma has not only not looked reassuring so far, barring his QPR performance, but threw away 2 points by getting 2 ridiculous yellow cards. Perhaps I'm not as fickle as Leicester fans that hailed Bamba as the messiah and are now slating him on the back of a few dodgy performances. I'm annoyed because I want to see the Bamba/Mee partnership back, or Vitor/Bamba with mee as LB. But hey, if that's scapegoating, then sue me. Unless you have a response other then a generic picture....
Leicester Lass Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 we only have 5 domestic loanees anyway don't we so Mee and Vitor would be the best ballance to the back 4 Naughton, Bruma, PVA, Mee, Kamara, Yakubu.
Jimmy Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Naughton, Bruma, PVA, Mee, Kamara, Yakubu. leave Bruma out and have Moreno on the bench then, explains why Mee wasn't in the squad on Saturday too
Bert Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 leave Bruma out and have Moreno on the bench then, explains why Mee wasn't in the squad on Saturday too Not gonna happen. I swear you live in cuckoo land.
Mav Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Did anyone else think Vitor was refusing to pass to bruma on Saturday? This is a blessing in disguise, Vitor - Mee please
Trav Le Bleu Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 And to think how godlike he was being hailed as after 2 games...
The Doctor Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 we only have 5 domestic loanees anyway don't we so Mee and Vitor would be the best ballance to the back 4 6 (PVA, Naughton, Mee, Bruma, Kamara, Yak) If we are going to play PVA, Naughton, Kamara and the yak then we have to choose on of mee or bruma.
Corky Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Shame for him, I think he's been a good addition to the squad overall.
Danno Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 Do not rate him at all. Too bad everyone bums off him due to his debut.
hbkkids Posted 18 April 2011 Posted 18 April 2011 it is a shame he is injured but i think vitor will do just fine as his replacement.
