yorkie1999 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 De laet for me doesn't really offer anything. Whenever he has the ball you are waiting for a mistake. Pretty poor defensively too. Bet you didn't say that when he scored against derby.
HoustonFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Versatile player. Can also add cover at CDM too.
Buzzell Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Would be a good signing. Decent player that would give RDL completion at RB.
mikey54 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Always thought RDL could do a good job on the right of midfield
Guest Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 I'd have thought we'd play Simpson in the tough games where we'll be spending 90 minute defending but might play De Laet where we fancy 3 points and want to play a more attacking game. They might just compliment each other as options.

FoxLAD Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 I'm pretty sure he can play LB too? Could be our answer to our to replace Konch?
MGLCFC Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 I'm pretty sure he can play LB too? Could be our answer to our to replace Konch? Not seen anything so far this season as to why Konch needs replacing.
RizLCFC Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 I've needed you in another thread!! Absolute tin helmet abuse i've been getting for saying this! Haha, I'd like to read it, which thread?
Stadt Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Not seen anything so far this season as to why Konch needs replacing.What about basing an opinion on an entire season rather than 2 games? He's immobile and not very comfortable on the ball so Pearson might fancy a decent attacking option.

I have been one if his biggest critics in the past but so far this season he hasn't put a foot wrong.
Tom's Pasta Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Two players per position seems to be pearson's strategy which I can't really argue with. Get Simpson and bring in that n'doye then I'm feeling very happy especially when the likes of drink water and james come back
65RosesFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 De laet for me doesn't really offer anything. Whenever he has the ball you are waiting for a mistake. Pretty poor defensively too.What games do you watch? Or is that it, you don't go to games and have no clue.Either way your comment doesn't offer any relevance or knowledge of RDL. What about basing an opinion on an entire season rather than 2 games? He's immobile and not very comfortable on the ball so Pearson might fancy a decent attacking option.He's basing it on seeing Konch player in a better League against better opposition, and against two of last seasons top six teams in the Prem. He's proved almost all (clearly not you) his critics that he is still more than capable of playing LB for Leicester.
MGLCFC Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 What about basing an opinion on an entire season rather than 2 games? He's immobile and not very comfortable on the ball so Pearson might fancy a decent attacking option. read my post 'not seen anything so far' and that's all Konch can be judged by. I'll stand by what I said - he's not put a foot wrong and has warranted his starting place.
gazfox9 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Anyone think De Laet or Simpson will be played at LB? Yes. That's exactly what I was thinking. U can't see RDL being dropped, and I remember when we signed him he said he was comfortable at left back.
gazfox9 Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 I would sooooooo love to see us play a four-bed detached at right-back. Mind you, with our transfer dealings of late, we'd probably stall the feckin' thing over whether it came with a conservatory or not. If we built it on the goal line we wouldn't concede many
65RosesFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Quite happy with signing Simpson. Not necassarily a big name, but solid, experienced and hard working. Has a decent 'engine' too if memory serves. My one real concern about RdL is that he appears to tire at about 60-70 minutes when he's been worked hard. Can't afford that in the PL! To be fair to RDL i think it's more for the fact that on average he probably covers most distance in our games (not checked so don't shoot me down)

Konckesky has played well but it's 2 games, too early to say whether he's good enough in this division or not.

65RosesFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Konckesky has played well but it's 2 games, too early to say whether he's good enough in this division or not. I agree, but so many fans wrote him off, i think in the two games he has proved he is a lot better than what people make out, and doesn't deserve all the criticism he gets and has earned his place and doesn't deserved to be dropped on his two performances in the premier leagur
Vicki Vixen Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 This is a very smart move. Simpson is a solid player and has potential to improve further. With Moore now first choice at CB, it makes sense for us to have two dedicated RBs competing for the position. Even more so given RdL's start to the season which has reminded me of his first season with City, where he looked uncomfortable in possession and fatigued after an hour or so of the game. I have confidence that RdL can become a PL quality RB but he won't do it unless he has competition for his place and he simply hasn't the stamina to play 90 mins of every game.
TrentFox Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 If we built it on the goal line we wouldn't concede manyDunno about that. I've seen us at set-pieces !!! Reckon they'd slam at least two through the windows !!
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 If we built it on the goal line we wouldn't concede many Dunno about that. I've seen us at set-pieces !!! Reckon they'd slam at least two through the windows !! And Konch would no doubt allow someone in through the back door.
FoxLAD Posted 29 August 2014 Posted 29 August 2014 Not seen anything so far this season as to why Konch needs replacing. Not saying he needs replacing as such, but he's getting in about and won't last 90mins the whole season.
