Looks like we might have signed a young Polish talent.

Kapustka.

Looked decent in the euros and even though it's only about 5.5m euros that'll be a new Polish league record.

I thought he looked very bright, probably one of the Poles' biggest goal threats in the tournament. A very intriguing signing if it comes to fruition. In my opinion, it would be Leicester's best of the summer so far.

:roll:

Who was actually missing from their A team?

They put their chances away we didn't. They were the better team.

Also they are much further into match fitness than we are and their target is to win the Chapion's league ours is to try and finish top half of the prem.

I think you are confusing Little Leicester with Manchester or Chelsea. :wink:

just saying leicester completely ran out of the field by a team that fielded 6 teenagers and bunch of other back ups, champion of england should do much better if they are going to represent their country honorably going further.

I think you were watching Galatasary against mid-table Manchester backups from that description. Or maybe you just read a media report. :D

Another fun game for us last night.

Last year Rotherham, this year Barca!

Some great goals and clinical finishes.

Stonewall peno when down 3-2 could have made it a fairytale friendly.

One more game before the start of the real season.

Next up Manchester.

one of my favourite players. He could still start at CB for us:

Interesting to note that Suarez didn't aim any bad language or teeth at Was either.

That looks like it was a fun match, from the brief highlights I saw.

Maybe you lot will clinch your first silverware of the season this weekend. :D

We're happy just to be in it.

Must be hell to support a team not in it who lose to Europa league teams like Manchester 5-2 :wink:

It is alright, we had plenty of battles with manchester united in games that mattered, at their peak. Ferguson still having nightmares about '93.
