MC Prussian Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 There's been a few conflicting opinions so far and I'm not sure which are true but is he quick or is he slow? Let's put it this way - he'd probably circle the world twice before the moan brigade could even utter the beginning of their hollow critique.
Fez of Mahrez Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 He's not as quick as Dyer, let's not go overboard.
iamafox Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Signing a good young player of Albrighton's ability for nothing is an absolute steal. Think this will be Villa's loss and our gain.
MC Prussian Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Chuffed but hes pretty poor defensively apparently Apparently most wingers/outside midfielders are.
little Brian Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 He's not as quick as Dyer, let's not go overboard. ha ha very funny ,great pun
Tielemans63 Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 To be fair I don't think he's that much better than Lloyd. If he is then it's only by a nose. Welcome Marc
suffolk fox Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 He's not as quick as Dyer, let's not go overboard. No he is better and a lot younger than dyer and he CAN cross the ball, well pleased with this.
Tielemans63 Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Dyer couldn't lace his boots for f*** sake Read it again mate...
Tielemans63 Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 From Sky Sports Leicester have completed the signing of winger Marc Albrighton on a four-year deal. The 24-year-old started his career at Aston Villa, but will end his long stay at the club once his contract expires on July 1. Foxes boss Nigel Pearson impressed Albrighton with his ambitious plans for the future after steering his side back to the Premier League. "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining. Everything about Leicester City is moving forward at the moment and it's going to be a great football club to be a part of," the new signing told Villa's official website. "It was a great 16 years for me at Villa and I had some really wonderful times there that will stay with me forever. I'm coming away now with my head held high and really looking forward to this fresh challenge with Leicester. I just can't wait to get going. "I've spoken to the manager and I know he has big plans, so I just can't wait to get started and be involved. Before I joined I spoke to a few people and nobody had a bad word to say about the manager or the club, so I'm delighted to have everything agreed for the new season. "I've watched some of Leicester's games over the last season and the lads have really played some great football. It's incredible what they have achieved, and they've deserved every bit of their success. "Now I'm looking forward to getting involved myself. I'm a direct player who is very positive with the ball and who likes to cross. All strikers say they like crosses in the box, and they can guarantee that I'll be doing that for them." Albrighton becomes Leicester's second signing of the day as the club also confirmed that defender Matthew Upson will join from Brighton. Albrighton's agent, Tim Webb, reported that there had been considerable interest in the player from several Premier League clubs following his departure from Aston Villa. And the winger has opted to link up with Leicester, who amassed 102 points in clinching the Championship title. Some nice comments from the lad there.
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Hasn't worked at Villa, every young player in his care has regressed or stood still. But Fabian Delph has just had an impeccable season after seeming plateau-ing, let's not spout hyperbole for the sake of reinforcing a point.
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Gutted to lose him? Absolutely. He is a good player and he's Villa through and through. Albrighton playing for another club is just wrong.
Finnegan Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Absolutely. He is a good player and he's Villa through and through. Albrighton playing for another club is just wrong. Does he run about a lot?
MC Prussian Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Absolutely. He is a good player and he's Villa through and through. Albrighton playing for another club is just wrong. Could be worse, could be Birmingham City.
sphericalfox Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 why would he say this to the Villa website? "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining. Everything about Leicester City is moving forward at the moment and it's going to be a great football club to be a part of," the new signing told Villa's official website.
Leicester Lass Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 why would he say this to the Villa website? "I'm absolutely thrilled to be joining. Everything about Leicester City is moving forward at the moment and it's going to be a great football club to be a part of," the new signing told Villa's official website. He said it to LCFC website, just an error by Sky. The quote is lifted directly from our website.
Pride_Of_The_Midlands Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 Does he run about a lot? Yes. I wouldn't say he was speedy, though he aint slow. 7/10 for pace.
Kyle_Le_Don Posted 23 May 2014 Posted 23 May 2014 So a back up Goalkeeper, a back up defender with Prem experience, and an experienced and decent young winger all for free? Good signings so far. I'd imagine we might sign one more player for free/1 million or less, then I see a couple of big money signings coming up. If this all pays off I can see us being a bit of a PL role model. Do it British do it cheap DO it ALDI... I'm tired ha
