Farlz Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 Confirmation from Percy that Justin is off to Leicester. Medical tomorrow. £6m initial fee, disappointed we've not made more of that for whatever reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a bit strange to me that he would choose Leicester over us unless he was guaranteed first team football with them? I don't mean to be bias, but I would probably choose villa over Leicester now we are promoted, maybe I am being biased and not realising it though.

Think they finally released Danny Simpson and Ricardo Periera can be played further up in midfield so it's an area where he can play lots of minutes if he quickly adapts.

Chilwell with Justin as backup I imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well there was talk a while ago that Chilwell was big target for Man. City but that seems to have gone quiet. Guess Leicester will keep Chilwell for another year and then sell him next summer and have Luton guy ready to take over. Leicester have signed many players from lower leagues in last 2-3 years who've gone on to be regulars in their first team so can fully understand why he'd go there.

You say this as if Leicester haven't recently won the Premier League and aren't already established in it. Sometimes we need to remove the specs. Yes we are Aston Villa, but some other clubs, are also other clubs with something to show. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we are a bigger club but Leicester are looking to challenge top six, we are looking to stay up. Might all be different in a year but that’s the reality now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) If we're signing a keeper for 20m we might have loftier ambitions than simply surviving but I take the point. Justin was an interesting proposition. Versatile young player that looks ready for the top flight from what I've seen. Ah well. Plenty more out there.

Leicester also got a very good record of signing players from lower leagues and they quickly get called by England. Harry Maguire, Gray, James Maddison and Harvey Barnes all players with senior or under 21s. Even Vardy going back, first season in premier league he got England call despite scoring very few goals that year. That would've been a factor in his decision aswell.

Kiwivillan Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) If we'd signed Justin for 6m there'd be wailing about spending that much on a League 1( now promoted)player. Now people upset he went to Leicester. Funny Edited June 25, 2019 by Kiwivillan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he could have been JJV ....how cool would that have been ? He will join the long list of players who snubbed us and spent the rest of his life regretting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
