Zimbabwe international - surely we've not had a player from Zimbabwe before have we?
Hes won player of the year 10 years running but that result was from a Zimbabwe election. |

I have watched Admiral last season on the Prem U23 scene as my mate who is a Foxes fan used to make me sit through them! he is very Woolery like in style and position, can play wide right or left and through the middle, he is a fair size unit and quite strong and has bags of pace.
Scored a fair few decent goals at that level TBF, I have seen a fair few of these goals, theres a lot of shit to wade through too but some crackers in here. Can head a decent ball too. Predominantly right footed and Leicester staff rate him very highly.

Doesn't it feel a bit too good to be true if Doyle and Yates return, and in addition we sign an extra striker (Admiral) and another Winger (Hope).
That would be
Doyle
Yates
Admiral
Hope
Anderson
Woolery
Isgrove
DJ
Not sure where the budget is coming from to get this all done, with Grant and Caddis who can't be cheap and Wellens after another defender/midfielder possibly. Dare i say it but fair play to Power if this all works out.

Wellens did say that even before Yates and Doyle left that he was after 2 more attackers, one a wide man and one who can play centre forward, we have now signed 2 players so we need Doyle and Yates back and then Wellens will have his compliment of attacking players.

Twin sister is a netball international which is different, very Phil Nevilley!
Their father isn’t called Admiral Admiral by any chance? |

4 of those play each game as effectively we have a front 3 with a number 10. So gives us a back up for each player which is ideal. |

True but just consider if 4 of those play then we have 2 further midfield players. We have Doughty, Grant, Lyden and Rose but he wants another one as well? To have 2 players for every position (or more) is a luxury at this level. Especially given how light we are relatively in defense. Not complaining at all. Just saying it will be very impressive if this all comes off and full marks to Power/Jewell/Wellens. |

Most teams want 3 strikers, he’s the pacy wildcard that we didn’t currently possess and could even be with the view to taking him on loan again next season. We aren’t really light in defence now other than at full back but Fryers and REG can play there if need be. I don’t reckon we’ll get the other midfielder personally |

I am not sure we need more bodies in midfield but Wellens suggested he wants one more in there, for me another left back if we don't sign Donohue is needed more.
Even if its just for cover.

I'm sure Admiral is an insurance policy in case anyone gets injured

Iandolo is out for the season? With Conroy.
So we have
Caddis
Hunt
REG
Baudry
Fryers
Broadbent
Reid
Two of which Wellens has not been fans of. A CB to go along with the the Doyle/Yates dream and we are laughing.
