Sol thewall Bamba Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 George has just announced that he's been offered a new deal at the club. Good news in my eyes, at his age, being offered a new deal is telling him that he's good enough for the first team, or will be good enough soon. Thoughts?

theessexfox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Looked absolute class today for the u21 development squad v Birmingham City , apparently Man City scouts were there to watch him . Would you say he's a better or worse option than Schlupp at left back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scousefox4 Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 I've seen this kid play left back but personally I think he's too tall for that position , the lad is massive . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narborough_fox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Never seen him play but hasn't he got a monster throw on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Monster throw, yes. Played CB for school mainly been a LB for school. I would prefer him at CB tbh though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudFox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Pearson doesn't like ego's and by the looks of his twitter he seems to have a big one, work that one out I think this is a bit of a generalisation. It seems as if both SSL and Gally have a bit of an ego (much more the former than the latter), and yet they've both played a reasonable enough amount under Pearson. I think it's more a case of being prepared to knuckle down rather than expect things for nothing. An expectation of NP's which I don't think is a negative thing at all.

GingerrrFox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Theres not many left footed, 6ft 4inch+, quick, English, good on the ball and solid centre backs about. He will go very far as long as he keeps his head down and carries on working. Judging by his mentatility he will do just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramadaone Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Need bodies for the under 21's so better the devil you know... More scholars taken on than before due to the under 21 league but that should be a good thing as it gives the young lads a bit longer to develop If Pearson really rated Taft he would have had plenty of chances to include him in the first team squad by now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scousefox4 Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Not sure if Taft will make it at Leicester long term as Pearson plays his favourites , but I take my old fella down to the training ground to watch these u21/ reserve game & we love to watch this lad , some of the players that have been given a chance before him is astonishing really , his big chance will come somewhere else I'm sure .

kingfox Posted 18 February 2013 Share Posted 18 February 2013 Good news for the lad, one for the future. Surprised we haven't given him more chances, in the past two season's. He only made the bench once or twice if I record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe That is why other youth players have had the chance to come into the first team before this fella. Pearson isn't losing anything by offering him a new contract, may even come to sell him in the near future for a decent price could be wrong who knows, we'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
