Why I certainly don't want to replace Borna with a 20 year old nobody has heard. He didn't even seem that highly rated by Leicester fans based on a quick forum read.

Had a look at the Leicester forum who have saw the news and they seemed to not really know much about him either. Seems to be just some guy in the youth team who hasn't been near the first team. Seems to be more commonly known as Calvin Ughelumba normally. Just one of these ones you'll have to hope that Ross Wilson has pulled off a masterstroke but I'm not expecting him to come here and light the league up Leicester have Ben Chilwell at lb ffs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barisic is the best left back in the league but whenever he wasn't available there was a huge drop in quality this season regardless of who played. Never heard of this guy but trust Ross Wilson to have scouted him thoroughly and know what he can add to the squad. If he's not better than Halliday and Flanagan he should just retire now. Can you even call yourself a footballer if you're worse than those 2? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
left winger 14,183 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 30 minutes ago, tannerall said: Just read on the official website there he is eligible to play for Nigeria and England. However under British football rules that also must mean he could choose Scotland or Wales or NI too ? Just saying, cos I don't want any potential signing playing for those kilt wearing cunts if he has a choice. If he’s a star I hope he picks England rather than Nigeria. Would rather not have any of our players missing for ACON. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PromDeAnglais 5,471 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 Happy about this. Far better option/prospect than Hailliday and Flan at Left Back who were never nautral left backs. He can challenge Borna. 20 years old, built like a tank and will be on relatively low wages. Leicester fans rate him. 4 year deal. Happy days.

Prso's headband 35,459 Posted June 6, 2020 Share Posted June 6, 2020 I do wonder when we’d just take a chance on a young player and play him. You look at Sancho, Reyna Gnabry etc obviously extreme examples but it shows if you’re good enough you’re old enough. Probably shouldn’t happen this season given the importance of it but I’d like us to just take that chance with one or two players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree we don't need any more now other than a striker. But I would argue less of a squad filler and hopefully a serious challenger. No “back ups” no “cover”. What we need is better than what we have. That way we create a competition for places. If this boy is any good at 20 he’d be a first team semi regular player at LCFC. But he’s not even broken into the first team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's 5 quality players you want for multi-millions each. We always needed a back up keeper and fullback cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players that will make them look over their shoulder and up their game/shit themselves we have too many players guaranteed a start and this leads to complacency.

We play in a diddy league, they don't. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
