Captain... Posted 5 June 2014 Posted 5 June 2014 Villa are on a massive cost cutting exercise, fortunately for Villa fans there weren't any other first team players out of contract, or they probably would have gone too, Albrighton was probably on a decent wage and they just didn't want to pay it any longer. Villa are going to be odds on for relegation this season, unless they get the club sold quick and an injection of cash.
chapero82 Posted 5 June 2014 Posted 5 June 2014 I bloke I know who is a villa fan said we have got a bargain and he was there best player he's gutted he's gone so to me that says it all

Banks Posted 25 June 2014 Posted 25 June 2014 Home gates are around 33,000 so we won't be far off them next season.

davieG Posted 10 July 2014 Posted 10 July 2014 Marc AlbrightonImage by: Plumb Images Leicester City’s summer signing Marc Albrighton has settled quickly into life with the Foxes thanks to a warm welcome from his new team-mates this pre-season. The exciting young winger joined on a free transfer this summer after ending a long association with Aston Villa, and adds some vital Premier League experience to the City ranks as they prepare for a first top flight campaign in a decade. Albrighton linked up with his new team-mates for a gruelling day of pre-season tests on 1 July, before the training got underway on Monday this week, and for the 24-year-old it has been a hugely positive few days. “I’ve settled brilliantly,” a delighted Albrighton told LCFC.com. “I’ve had two days here and I feel like I’ve been here for a while already. “The lads have been fantastic with me, welcomed me, had a chat and introduced themselves so it’s been a good start. “Usually when you go to a new club you may know a few players having come across them before but I was coming into the wilderness because I didn’t know any of them, so it is like starting a new school, but like I say the lads have been fantastic. We’ve got a lot in common being footballers so there’s always something to talk about.” Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal are on the agenda for the Foxes in their opening five fixtures of the 2014/15 campaign, but having been impressed with what he’s seen from his new team-mates already, Albrighton isn’t getting too concerned. He added: “We had a testing day last week and then training was tough but straight away I can see how fit the group of lads are and how willing they are to put the work in. “That’s something that will go a long way this season so I’m definitely overjoyed to have joined Leicester. “It’s a tough start, but we’ve got to play everyone at some point. It’s going to be a test for us but I’m sure that we’ve got the capability, the talent, ability and work ethic to overcome it. “I’ll be glad when the balls are out and we can train and play some football. That’s what I’ve been brought here to do so I’m looking forward to that part more than anything.” Read more at http://www.lcfc.com/news/article/100714-albrighton-grateful-to-team-mates-1736732.aspx#FMivUrdYdCJAFoMS.99

Bryn Posted 10 July 2014 Posted 10 July 2014 Think he's a good fit, I don't think he's a signing that takes us to another level but he's the kind of player who will settle in quickly and to good effect.
Harry - LCFC Posted 10 July 2014 Posted 10 July 2014 I keep forgetting we signed him Haha same for me. Keep finding myself pleasantly surprised. Hopefully I'll stop forgetting when I see him in a shirt.
pazzerfox Posted 19 July 2014 Posted 19 July 2014 My Dad works with one of Marc Albrightons best friends. Albrighton has said that Leicester are a fantastic club with a real family atmosphere and absolutely loves it here already. Albrighton was the second fittest player at Villa but here he is the 10th! But he also said that Villa, man for man, are better technically than us, which I was disappointed with.

Nick Posted 10 August 2014 Posted 10 August 2014 Very interesting comment about the effect of the fans in a relegation dogfight, hope everyone reads that and stays positive when things inevitably don't go our way. Yeah, I thought the same thing.
Harry - LCFC Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Very interesting comment about the effect of the fans in a relegation dogfight, hope everyone reads that and stays positive when things inevitably don't go our way. I really don't understand the view that fans don't make a difference. As a supporter when you're losing a game it's depressing seeing fans walk out - "we're giving up" is the message - it feels like the game's winding down to a close when people start to leave. On the other hand if people stay in the ground and make even a bit of noise it helps keep the belief alive that the team might grab something. Makes such a difference to how I feel about the game. Surely some of this rubs off on the players? It can't be exclusively the fans who experience this?

I'm not sure whether it's just unfounded romanticism or not but moments like DD's equaliser against Watford feel like their influenced by the fans.
