Though Fofana was brilliant for Leicester.

Just 19 and if he keeps that up he'll be a cracking signing for them.

Leicester seem to have bought a great player in fofana. Unreal he is only 19

Also I think we have regretted not signing tielemans

I’m sure this will backfire but Pepe for £72m is one of the most bizarre signings in recent memory. He has no positional versatility at all, is horrifically one footed and actually isn’t that quick or physical. Nice and tidy on the ball but if you look at him he just looks poor, and he’s not a central creator like Ziyech to compensate. A hard worker like Podolski or even someone like prime Yarmolenko might fit them better, even if they have less ostensible talent.

I get that he’s not being properly utilized (no one in that side is) but he’s 25, at some point you are who you are. Not sure what is so wrong with him but you can tell that financial decision hurt them badly.

It was easy to note that he was incredibly raw for a 24-year-old when they signed him and that should have been warning enough to not sign him for that amount. He stood out because of his shooting ability mostly, but if you watched most of those goals he was given a lot of space to do that. Other than a couple of occasions, he really hasn't been able to do that in the PL.

Poor scouting, Poor decision to outlay that sum of money on one player.

Yeah he is a very erratic winger with a good shot and cross, you would need a better first touching dribbling to really make it in the PL. I think if he works on his game he could be effective but he is not worth that money. For anything less that 40 mil and you would understand but its the price tag that makes it seem bad.
