[Macfarlane21]

FA Cup winner Luke Thomas

Weerz bleeding view from? Roygbiv

Hopefully be up about 1pm. Need to wait for the pub to open so I can use their WiFi

 

[mattbianco1]

Imagine Larouci or Lowe attempting this

 

[Grizzly blade]

That was a cross gone wrong

 

[Harry's Game]

Desperately needed this signing. Well done Hecky

 

[BalticBlade]

Does anyone know what his shoulder stats are?

 

[HarryHaslam]

Can’t say I remember him but we badly needed someone at left back so happy with this because surely he’s a upgrade.

 

[ekke287]

Leicester mate at work says -

“He’s a steady signing, won’t set the world alight but probably better than what you have as long as your left winger tracks back, and he’s not an absolute prat. Can shit himself if a winger beats him in the first five minutes though”

 

[Davalon]

Happy with this one.

McAtee and a decent other AM/striker too please.

 

[ekke287]

I asked what he’s like going forward and received this -

“Was really good when he first started, got an assist first game, but suffered when playing behind Barnes who had no defensive work rate. Rodger’s didn’t want his full backs going past half way. Reckon he’d suit being a LWB more than an out and out full back, definitely a player in there if Hecky can get him confident”

Sounds promising.

No Thomas the tank engine style introduction video?

Cowards.

We're not Burnley.

We leave embarrassing ourselves to purely on the pitch!

Worst excuse EVER for sitting on doorstep waiting for pub to open.

You clearly didn't see us give Archer a bow and arrow!

 

[Champagneblade]

Calls us United repeatedly.

He'll do for me!

Sole opportunities are simply too good to pass up!

 

[JOEYDEE]

Hes better than Lowe,Osborne and Larouchi...he'll do for me !

 

[Fjortoft's Aeroplane]

Hopefully makes us more solid, though a bit concerned he wont offer much going forward.
Might be good for the games where we're realistically hoping for a draw at best and then play someone more attack minded where we think we can get 3 points?

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

He has experience at this level, infact more than most of our team? Hopefully a good signing.

 

[Greg.]

Got 21 starts in the season where Leicester finished 8th aged 20 is decent. Wages more realistic for us (FM23 had him on £25k a week, but maybe that lower now with the relegation). Seems a bit like a Tyrick Mitchell type player for Palace i.e. very solid defensively but doesn't offer that much going forwards? Wonder if Lowe leaves in January

 

[Houston_Blade]

Stats from last season aren’t sparkling as a wing back but he seems more defensive than we have already:

[Slabhead Revisited]

Can’t believe we’ve signed someone with time to register them to play in the next game

I like this new strategy

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

If we thought there were realistic domestic loan options right now we wouldn’t have used it. It would appear those injuries have hit those we were targeting in this area so we’ve used up the slot. He’s better than what we had so we’re stronger in that area this season than last. Mcatee in and then look to abroad for the remaining loans.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

Has he played much for Leicester over the summer? Most of our signings come here not match fit.

 

[joe casey]

Hopefully makes us more solid, though a bit concerned he wont offer much going forward.

In fairness, if you've got harvey barnes in front of you it make a lot of sense to just pass to him and let him run with it

 

[RammyBlade]

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?

Because we have almost all the left wing backs injured ? RND,Lowe,Osborne oh and Larouce is shit ?

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

Because we have almost all the left wing backs injured ? RND,Lowe,Osborne oh and Larouce is shit ?

I know that. But we have ZERO attacking midfielders.

We’ve had a combined 21 shots over 3 games. Compared with 70 against us. I think the attacking part of the pitch is the priority given Baldock/Robinson have played LWB.

 

[Bladesman]

 

[derfblade.3]

Been released by Hull. I hope he manages to pick up another club. Probably best served dropping to league 1 for regular football.

I thought Hamer was an attacking midfielder?

 

[ISZA ⚔️]

I thought Hamer was an attacking midfielder?

He’s a box to box midfielder. By definition all midfielders should be capable of attacking. But he’s definitely not the creative outlet we are desperate for.

 

[Blade58]

I’m still here mate, I’ll have something tomorrow afternoon just waiting for a bit of confirmation on a name.

4 minutes past 12 where the fk are ya?
