people on here are insane, and i doubt many even bother going games. but people calling out faes, behave. even more hilarious people expect us to sell him AND bring in a better replacement. no one paid any attention to this car crash of a window? 

Fair point but Faes' top flight record for Leicester has been abysmal. Not all his fault obviously but his performances and attitude have been poor as well.

 

There's a strong argument for cutting loose while he's still got enough time on his contract for us to get a decent fee.

 

(Would have been far better to do so at the start of the summer, of course...).

Because if he is in the middle it means he has faster players either side of him to help

 

You are also more likely to get caught out for pace on the wide positions because there is a lot more space that the opposition player would drag you out into as you would need to go and engage, not really likely when in the middle

Not convinced tbh by any tactical decisions Cooper is making so I question this switch to the left irrespective of Vesty’s lack of pace. I understand Faes’ frustration and despite clearly being unpopular on here, I actually think he’s one of our better players, he’s a decent footballing centre half who can defend. He might make the odd mistake but  that’s the same as every one on the team. If he does leave there’ll be a big gap in our defence that can’t be covered by Coady because he’s as slow as Vesty nor by Okoli because he doesn’t look ready to be a regular based on his pre season and certainly seems less able with the ball at his feet.

If Skipps £25mil then Faes is £35 in todays market. Belgiums 1st choice centre back, gotta start charging premium and not just paying it 🤷🏼‍♂️

£35m! lol 

 

We would be lucky to get £10m for him, he’s an absolute liability in the PL.


We would’ve sold him when we went down if we had decent interest in him.

nonsense, he's had a couple of slips but who hasn't? and anyone claiming they know his attitude is not being honest

Terrible defending from Justin that is, he had no awareness that there might be a player coming down his side and was caught ball watching

JJ isn't at fault, both Faes and VK were in the Fulham half when the moved started and Vesty dived in just inside our half.

I swear people only consider him a bomb scare because of his barnet. He is our best defender.

Being our best defender doesn’t mean much, but bomb scare just because of his hair? Did you see him try to back heel it at the weekend?

Does Coady, Nelson or Okoli start for Belgium? 

As they are not Belgian, it would be difficult. Coady has played for England!

All I'm saying is that if Faes is our best defender, then we are in the sh1t

Nope, but there’s also no longer any pressure to sell on the cheap either, alas KDH..

There is pressure though, time pressure. We either get rid of him quick or let him linger clearly unhappy and not giving his all where he either plays shite or rots in the reserves. We need to get rid of him so asking for stupid fees is not really an option. The timing of this stinks, good riddance to the twot.

A great player in his day, but surely too old to be paired with Veste or Coady.

 

Wouldn't be against us going in for Alfie Jones (Hull) or Dael Fry (Boro). Both mid 20s and could offer some solidity and physicality at the back, and much cheaper than what we'd sell Faes for.

Ok Paul Dummett then??.........Liam Cooper?....eeerrrrrrmmm

You’ve got to wonder why they don’t.

Haha or their respective nations, left the door open there. 

The point still stands, at this moment in time he is by far and away our best option at centre half.
