Very much on board with this if true.

 

[mattbianco1]

Out of contract in the summer too

 

[Dutch Blade]

Very solid player, would be great!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Buzzing with this signing, was one of my preferred suggestions this summer.

 

[Le Cynique]

This looks like bollocks to me, but I'd be delighted to be proven wrong

 

[VLYDONIMIR]

Thomas.

I have my doubts....

 

[Davalon]

Yep. Happy enough if this is a goer.

 

[Gin&Juice]

Work close with Leicester. I sometimes call them at 4am for business. But he’s seen as a bit lightweight and has an option to trigger an extension.. Think we will have a mandadtory fee if we stay up. Good age and solid experience for his age.

Leeds could be pipped to another signing by Sheffield United with Blades now considering Championship loan swoop

Sheffield United are 'strongly considering' a loan move for Leicester City full-back Luke Thomas, says Tom Collomosse, who also has an offer on the table from Leeds United.

at 22yo he has 56 PL apps.

Norwood holds our apps record at 73.

He's got more PL experience than 90% of our squad

Pete O'Rourke is usually on the money

Hopefully is this time

Is he any good this chap? A championship loan to PL seems a bit odd. But hey ho.

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Why don’t Leicester want him?

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Surely he wouldn't have cost much on a perm?

 

[Smirth]

Solid signing if we can get him in. A big improvement on Lowe, not much of a risk with it being a loan move and the possibility to sign him permanently at the end of it if Leicester don't extend his contract.

Good pedigree as well- FA cup winner and part of the U21 Euros win in the Summer too.

James Justin has returned from injury only reason he's played as much as he has.

That said they've sold castagne, so surprised if they've let him out

 

[SufcBilly]

Apparently agreed to go to Leeds but Leicester then didn’t want him going to a promotion rival so were offering him everywhere and obviously we become lovely suitors after Sunday

See my posts on the palmer thread and the McAtee/Doyle thread. Chelsea have thrown a spanner in the works hopefully we can still sort it

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

If this guy only has a year left and we are loaning him for that year what’s the point in using a loan spot on it?

 

[LondonBlade89]

Why don’t Leicester want him?

Ricardo Pereira and James Justin. And presumably a need to try and cut the squad a bit. Obviously they’ve not read the Prince’s book of football ownership to know that Luke Thomas is about to embark upon the football season of his life now he’s in the last year of his deal but more fool them.

If you gave it some thought, you could probably come up with a decent answer.

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Sounds more like a full back than a wing-back? Would he offer anything going forward?

I guess he's a relatively new target due to injuries so we aren't really sure whether we want to spend money or negotiate for him, but we need players for the position right now.

Maybe be an option to buy if he impresses?

Yeh but why would I do that given the amount of condescending londoners about who can educate me

well hopefully we are ready to splash some cash on creativity/muscle at the top of the pitch then.

 

[designedbyross]

Maybe weird but I was hoping we’d get someone a bit older, quite a few young lads in that team now. Any particular reason why Leicester don’t view him as good enough to be playing for them? Good LWB’s seem hard to come by though, we just need someone steady tbh.
