City make Theo Janssen offer.

[Redditch Fox]

in that we are a bit short on the left hand side, if we assume Mattock is left back

I don't want to be unnecessarily unkind but......how can anyone seriously think that Mattock is going to be a regular in the first team this season??

He had a couple of end of season games and looks highly promising for his age? - 16,17? But he simply isn't going to be pencilled in for a first team place yet.

I could not agree more.

agreed

Totally depends on how mature the lad is,if he'll listen and learn quickly from mistakes made.
Theres plenty of footballers who despite being of tender age are very good at what they do, football history is littered with very young lads who have made the grade early. Remember the old adage "If your good enough your old enough".

Tits, nothing wrong with them.

Absolutely right western - and you like me will remember the impact that another left sided player - David Nish - had at the ages of 16+.

However, I still can't believe that the management are planning to start with him in the team.

 

[PONTUS KAAMARK]

Its a big risk to plan to play a 16 year old as your first choice. He will tire and find it difficult to play 50 odd games......Plus our fans will get on his back if he makes a few mistakes.

Having seen his performances last season the kid defo has talent but if we are serious about doing well we cant have him at first choice yet.

Guess the player.

[Tamworth Fox]

Guess the player.

Give up who is it

 

[Hazzman]

Give up who is it

I'd say it's Mattock's appearances for the whole season - academy, the odd reserve friendly, England appearances, Youth Cup plus Academy Playoffs

Maybe add in his first-team appearances.

I personally feel if he will be played in his left-back position, he's not ready but if they have plans for left midfield looked pretty good to me.

 

[Steven]

Give up who is it

Gareth Bale and the number of appearances he has made in League and Cup games since 16/4/2006.

 

[consty]

ok guys, I accept what several of you say that my initial assumption that Mattock would be our left back may be wrong... howeve that was only a passing remark, my main point was to say that we need a left sided midfielder and/or left winger.

 

[Tamworth Fox]

Gareth Bale and the number of appearances he has made in League and Cup games since 16/4/2006.

& they got £10 million for him, you should've used that as another hint :icon_wink

 

[SilverFox]

Mattock is quality. Just because we have the means to bring in players it doesn't mean we should forget and neglect the talent we have. I would not hesitate to include him in the team...he has talent, genuine quality, is passionate in his play for this club and has future star quality.

He is good enough so pick him.

 

[mowbray-fox]

nds a decent player and im pretty sure that MA will get him working hard to work off his belly. him being a bit chunky might not be too much of a problem as long as he can run. we all call rooney fat but hes still a great player.

Foxes may go Dutch again

Vitesse Arnhem midfielder Theo Janssen claims he is wanted by Leicester City.

New Foxes boss Martin Allen has been active in the transfer market since taking over at the Walkers Stadium and is already into double figures for new signings.

Birmingham City duo Stephen Clemence and DJ Campbell are close to joining Leicester, while Janssen could be another addition to the ranks.

Janssen, who was linked with Sunderland at the end of last season, feels it is '50-50' that he will head to the Championship club.

"Leicester have asked about me," Janssen told De Gelderlander.

"I have a little bit of a double feeling. Last year it was announced that I had played my last match in a Vitesse shirt, therefore it is strange I am now here (for training).

"The club is looking to get a fresh wind and I suppose it is maybe better to leave the club.

"That club (Leicester) have contacted me. What I have heard is Leicester has got a new owner. He wants to invest in the club.

"Currently, Leicester is playing in the Championship. It depends on what the club wants to do with me and in which role they see me. If that is okay, this story could get a good end.

"I guess it's a 50-50 chance that something will happen there. I extended my deal not so long ago for two seasons and therefore I could not leave the club for free.

"There are also some other options. It's not that I want to leave Vitesse at all costs, there is nothing bad to Vitesse."

If Leicester follow up an interest in Janssen, he would become the club's second Dutch signing of the summer after Sergio Hellings was brought in from AGOVV.

Sounds promising... dunno much about him, but a full Dutch International... can't be bad! Can't imagine us getting him and Hendrie, will be one or the other I'd imagine? If we got him then we'd have 5 centre mids already probably (Clem, Kishi, Weso and Hellings)

Hendrie is dead in the water.

Hendrie is dead in the water.

Who killed him?

Good. Who killed him ?
