He wouldn't have to - he's head and shoulders above Sean S(hi)t Ledger, as well as being better than Bamba

Him and Mills together would have been exceptional

Big blow, this

Vitor is far superior to Mee and he still seems likely to sign.

SSL is ours, give him a chance, he was probably cheaper option to buy than Mee (if hes available) IMO the best partner for Mills, of our recent centre backs would be Vitor

I agree.

Disappointed about Mee, but Sven's comment the other day about not being sure if Mee wanted to come not being guaranteed first team football made it seem unlikely.

I'm assuming that's why he hasn't come back here on loan. If we'd assured him a starting place he'd have been here... and I'm glad Sven hasn't done that really.

I hope you are right. But I'm wondering why Vitor would want to come back after the way he was treated last season.

That's probably why Mee didn't want to come back. He was treated quite shabbily by Eriksson at the end of the season - dropped too often for no apparent reason and Bruma picked in his place.

Anyway, I'm pleased we aren't going for loan players again. Man City don't seem to want to sell him and I'd rather have a bought St Ledger than an on-loan Mee. Strange how so many castigated Mee on here after just 3 minutes into his first game for us, but now think he's indispensible.....

Have you actually read this thread?

.....

The apparent reason to me was that we had probably more or less promised that Bruma would be played - if fit.

 

[Durham Fox]

Could be worse, could have gone to a promotion rival

Yes, twice. Perhaps you can explain why you think otherwise?

In no way am I suggesting that you are being unreasonable. However, might it be a trifle premature to condemn a Leicester player after he has played one friendly for the club which you did not see.

 

[Profondo Rosso]

That was posted before he played the friendly match.

 

[Jeff]

Because you thought "so many" people here now think he's "indispensible".

No one in this thread has said he's indispensible, only two people seemed to be disappointed about missing out on him.
More people have said that they think Vitor is a better player.

In which Stringer named him as man of the match no less.

If that is true, then I am extremely glad he is not coming back. Anyone who sulks because they got dropped a couple of times is not a player I want in our squad and I hope SGE doesn't either.
