Bet he has the best goal to minutes played ratio.
Criminally under used and under appreciated.

"What Albrighton's gone on to achieve at the King Power is nothing short of incredble. A Premier League winner. A Champions League winger."
I mis-read that last word as winner, and thought I was having a Boc moment. (Sorry to call you out again, Boc, but you probably don't remember the other times anyway...)

According to the Athletic, this is what some historical transfers would have cost in the modern day. TBH, it shows how poor our recruitment has been (even in recent times) at the upper end of the market.

Leicester have a pretty impressive transfer record in recent years, though the summer of 2016 is often seen as the big blip

Mark Draper though, eh?According to the Athletic, this is what some historical transfers would have cost in the modern day. TBH, it shows how poor our recruitment has been (even in recent times) at the upper end of the market.

McAllister was also quality. It’s possible for them both to be.

Every single player to have ever played professionally is quality if you want to broaden it slightly further.
Draper was talented but too lightweight to excel at the top level in my opinion. He was lovely on the ball at times but a firm tackle and he'd disappear.

I would never describe Lee Marshall as quality, but that’s just me.
