[Thants]

I'm watching Brighton Leicester and he's not that great. Playing at right back. Martins has had a quiet game but done ok.

Hes a centre half not a right back, dont think he'll make it with us but we should cash in on asap.

[Thants]

I know he'd a centre back but playing Rb tonight. Easy for them too, Brighton are woeful.

[Thants]

fucking ace game. 3-2 brigtom. Hobbs own goal

To win it 89th min.

[Thants]

You know what?

I don't think anyone's interested.

 

For your information I then went to see a band called Keith at the free-butt. The bassist and guitarist were good. They didnt have any bitter on tap or bottle, unlike the Withdeans hospitality. Bastard.

[Skidfingers McGonical]

Cheers Thants, if I was on last night I would have repped you, but I feel you would not feel the full gratification of my love and see as a 'I had to ask for that, so you don't mean it' kind of rep.

I quite like Hobbs as a player. Like our fearless leader said he is very much the Sami type of player and I do still believe we will miss Sami from time to time once he leaves.

 

Hobbs still has plenty of time to pull his standards up so it would be a shame to see his contract cut already and again as has already been said he would do any championship side proud so if he doesn't improve much we could still sell him on for a bit of profit.

Scored for Leicester yesterday in a 4-2 win against Huddersfield and is playing very well according to reports. David Martin was at fault for Huddersfields first goal.

From this mornings BBC gossip column...

 

League One champions Leicester City will spend £400,000 on Liverpool's Jack Hobbs and £200,000 to land Hull City's Wayne Brown. The defenders are both currently on loan with the Foxes.(Daily Star)

 

Granted the sauce is only the Daily fucking Beano, but if memory serves me correctly, didn't we spend 500k to bring him to the club in the first place? If so, and having spent 2-3 seasons developing him, training him on, paying his keep, loaning him out and making him a much better player and prospect, why then would we accept a bid of 400K?

Is there anything in this story at all, or is it Leicester getting ahead of themselves?

[Woo]

He only has 12 months left on his contract, but I don't think we would or should take £400k for him. There is plenty of interest in him from a fair few Championship sides, so I think the fee we should be looking for would be somewhere towards the £750k-£1m mark.

[Dirk]

Mandaric was on SSN the other day saying he wanted to take Hobbs permanently.

That is what I was thinking Al. There must be a market for him from more established Championship clubs with revenue than Leiceester. I'm sure Mandaric would like to take him permanently, but there is no need for us to be mugged...again.

Is there any likelihood that Hobbs will ever be good enough for our first team in the future?

I dunno really Rob as I've only ever seen brief highlights of Leicester on ITV on a Sunday morning this season. From what I've read he's done really well there though. I know he's rated by the staff at Melwood, and a good few of the first team players commented on him when he had a few appearances last season, saying how he much had improved.

 

I've only really watched the ressies the past two seasons, so didn't see Hobbs play for them. I imagine Dave, Maldini or any of the others who know their youth football would have a better idea.

[Antynwa]

On the topic of youth players, Spearing and Darby have rejected contract offers due to the money offered.

 

They want the same money as Lucas and Ngog.

[INTORRESTING]

talking money before they are in the first team, oh dear, i hope that isn't true.

Not true. Jay and Darbs haven't been offered contracts, they're still waiting to hear what's going on. The agents might have held some kind of informal talks, but to say that the lads have turned down deals - and turned them down over money - isn't true.

Same as me Al, I've only seen the couple of first team appearances he made for us and brief highlights on that ITV abortion of a programme. It would appear that if he is rated highly enough, that he could come back to us in the Summer and perhaps another 6 month loan next season and just play a watching game with him.

The fact he only has 12 months left on his contract is a bit of a concern mind and takes things out of our hands unless we act soon enough one way or the other. I'm not for training players on and then letting them walk out of the door, especially when you see the likes of United getting 1.5m for their youngsters time after time.

[dave u]

Hobbs is worth at least a million of anyone's money. I'd like us to tie him down to a longer contract and loan him out again to a Championship side, or possibly even higher if there was interest in him.

 

Look at how the mancs handled Johnny Evans, that's how I'd like to see us try and develop Big Jack.

[Woo]

Dave, how would you rate him compared to the likes of San Jose and Kelly when he was their age?

think his contract only has a year left would agree on the loan but only if we can get him to sign a new longer deal

Do i also remember some sort of future sell on fee going to the club we got him from being part of the initial deal and why Arsenal pulled out?

That happens in the vast majority of transfers when a player from a lower league moves to the Premiership.

Ive been to a few Leicester games this season as a mate is the chaplain, and he's been great for them. Definitely worth 1mil for a top championship defender.
