RizLCFC Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 From there point of view, £50m for two players who could’ve left for free in 12 months time is an incredible amount of money, which they will invest well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGLCFC Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 (edited) He's probably not a centre half we would have targeted pre season, but we can't take the risk with a European player who may take time to adjust. We need someone who can hit the ground running, that's why I think Vestegaard, Tarkowski and to a lesser extent Cahill are the front runners. Any of these could step in a play to the required standard from day one. There may be better options from the continent, but it's probably too much of a gamble and risk to expect them to adjust instantly. Kabak might be the exception having played in the PL last season.

FOXSE Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 It would be very Leicester to make the unprecedented moved to sign half* the back 4 that conceded 9 against us, and somehow it turns out OK! *I know Bertrand only played 10mins, but still.... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SixtiesFox Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 All due respect to Saints but slotting into our team with the quality he would have around him is different gravy. His ability in the air would also strengthen one of our key weaknesses - the set piece at both ends of the field. Our recruitment team have targeted him before so this wouldn't be a shot in the dark. Would have been a good signing before Fofana's injury. Now, it's a no brainer. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfcsnow Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Bertrand I can understand but it’s a bit strange to be after another defender from a team who hold records of two 9-0 defeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertrand was sent off after 12 minutes against us Vestergaard didn’t play against Man Utd Also you cannot really hold anything against them as Southampton had 2 players sent off against Man Utd, with Jankewitz going off after 2 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post MGLCFC Posted 8 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2021 I don't like this continual reference to beating Saints 9 - 0. It was great on the evening, but if, and it could, happen to us, I bet we'd be totally p1ssed off it was mentioned all of the time. All teams suffer heavy defeats from time to time, but on both occasions there were extenuating circumstances as to why Southampton lost heavily. It doesn't make their players unworthy of playing for Leicester. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might as well not be Leicester fans if we can’t enjoy the good times. I was there that night and I rewatch the goals all the time because it was amazing. Life is too miserable to not enjoy the good times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was two years ago, you don't need to continually being smug about it. I enjoyed the result as much as anyone and still enjoy watching the highlights when I feel fit, but in the same way I hate people reminding me of Deeney day, I don't need to continual remind Southampton fans that we beat them 9 - 0 and that their defence must be sh1t.

st albans fox Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 I think that with a year left on his contract, £15m is the absolute max we should be paying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not smug about it. I wouldn’t walk up to a saints fan in the street and start singing about winning 9-0. I can quietly enjoy it in the comfort of my own home like any Leicester fan would and should. As for the deeney thing, it doesn’t bother me and shouldn’t bother you. That moment led to us winning the championship, staying in the prem, winning the prem and now being an established top 6 side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Squirrel Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Vestergaard is "an oven-ready deal " (don't expect him to get roasted though!) We've tracked him, know about him, current premier league experience, he slots in with the minimum of acclimatisation.. . Another Robert Huth?........ and we know what happened next.

UHDrive Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 I don't get the comparisons in the 0-9 win we had at theirs. It was truly miserable rainy weather. Bertrand practically played no part and was a massive loss to them as a key component of their back line. We were just on our game that day and the slick wet pitch would've only have benefitted us and not them. Vestergaard has great composure on the ball, something that's a necessity if he comes to us, great in the air, set piece taker and scorer and looks mean too. What more could we ask for...

Hollyfox Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 He's a beast. Not quick but reads the game well, is comfortable on the ball, knows Kasper and Ryan, and alongside Cags with Wilf screening, would give us a solid base. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
