[indierich06]

Looks more like Tom Cleverley:



TBH, If he's half as good, I won't be moaning.

Don't worry, there will be plenty that will.

Barnsley fans seem to rate him though I can understand their frustration in losing him (reminds me of when we lost Mark Davies).

Don't know anything about the lad, so I can't really comment. Welcome aboard.

As mentioned - Sky saying its done. (sort of)

 

[Kingy_85]

Gives that extra bit of spice to the Southampton game anyway. :icon_bigg

After such rave reviews I guess it's hard to be anything but pleased with this. Reserving judgement for now, not seen him play enough myself. We need something in midfield though, and at least that's being addressed.

 

[Mawsley]

A definite improvement for the midfield

 

[Han]

I still can't see NP dropping Wellens to the bench. As bad as he's been, he's still the most "creative" central midfielder we have and this lad doesn't seem to be that sort of player.

 

[Darth Vodka]

does he know Peltier?

 

[indierich06]

I think they both joined Huddersfield around the same time, summer 2009? So they probably do know eachother.

is he cup-tied? our os last to confirm again.. SSN says hes signed 3 1/2 year deal, i must admit i think the photo in leicester shirt is a better confirmation (no idea of fee)

The os will only confirm a deal when all of the paperwork is complete and the registration is lodged with the fa so they will always report the signing later than news sources.

Why would you look on Wikipedia for something like that?

He's cup tied. He played for Barnsley against Swansea.

I may be barking up the wrong tree, but is he cup tied on the basis Barnsley were knocked out?

 

[Profondo Rosso]

Nah. If he's played in this season's FA Cup then he's cup tied, doesn't matter whether Barnsley are still in the competition or not.

 

[TornadoShaunUK]

Probably intended to be a replacement for the ageing Wellens if he is a similar sort of player to him? I don't really know alot about him but Man U do tend to produce alot of quality youngsters so this seems like it could be a good acquisition. Still hoping we add a bit of width!

 

[drummindefender]

If he aint signed by the time I get home from work he can **** off !

 

[LCFC'sGodWears9]

Possibly a knee-jerk reaction to the King injury? Along with the poor form of Wellens and the rest of the midfield, it just seems a bit rash how it has all come out of nowhere with no real speculation about him before this morning.
