We’ve bought a proper dud in this guy haven’t we? Poor defending and plays no real part in attacking.

Jorge Mendes has pulled our pants down on this one, the geezer is absolute brick.
Yeah, thought he was good for normal time, one of his better performances, and then seemed to run out of gas.

I don't think he's been awful and I like to give a player at least an entire season before making a judgement on them but yes he doesn't seem an improvement on current Aurier or even bad Aurier tbh.
I wouldn't be against trying for a less experienced but genuinely good attacking RB in the mould of Regulion. With the knowledge that we have Aurier who has been top quality to fall back on and challenge to keep the levels high if that player needs some development time.
Doherty doesn't seem to be offering any of that.
Aarons?

I've not paid much attention to Aaron's directly but yes someone of that profile. I really liked Castange and I think we missed out there but that overall play style. Someone really comfortable carrying the ball would be great it would add so much to the side and go es a real difference in play style to Aurier.

I’d take Jayden Bogle from Sheffield Utd when they drop. We missed a trick in signing him last summer when they picked him up from Derby for only about £3.5m.

Castange was a great option as he can play on both sides. I was also hoping we’d get him last summer. Leicester operate very well in the transfer market I think. Seem to sign the players they want quickly as well as making good choices.

They operate in the transfer market the way we should. Thy spot players early (as we do) and then act decisively to bring them in (what we don't do). We miss out on so many players with Levy's hesitancy.

They brought 2 players didn’t they for £11m
Apparently he was great yesterday
I can’t say I’ve seen him defend much. He always seems to be attacking (no bad thing) and I didn’t know he was a FB

I saw him 3 times for Derby last season and was convinced 20 minutes into the second game. Could dominate his flank in Championship football at the age of 19.

I’ve not seen any of him to comment
But I’ve heard good things

I think Sheff Utd may have also been using him as a right midfield/right sided attacker but he came through at Derby playing RB. That is what we need though somebody with the pace, energy and skill to be able to play as an attacker as well as a defender.

GHod forbid a defender with pace and energy
Saying that a lot comes down to Aurier abs where his head is at. Good Aurier is well worth playing .. bad Aurier is a bad influence on the team. Big calls to make as this he has been right up there with the very best

I was advocating him as a signing when people were wanting Aarons.... this kid was admittedly probably one year behind Aarons in his development but probably less than 15% of the price and (IMO) has a higher upside.
