You know that other dude who plays with him for Turkey? The one some were swooning over when Juventus signed him. Demiral. He is quite bad.
Kabak too. He didn’t look good enough on loan at Liverpool and I think Schalke haven’t flogged him yet. Cengiz Under was supposed to be another top talent (actually went on loan to Leicester too) but didn’t deliver here or in Italy.

Turkey have had quite a few high rated talents that haven’t seemed to make the cut.

the daft thing about that was the right thing to do was to clear the ball down the line, he went to do it then realised he wasn't supposed to, if players are under instructions that stop them making the right decision then the system is broken.

That said, that was a fecking horror show

Do Leicester fans still pretend he's better than Maguire?

do you still not understand the point was better then he was for US? When Soyuncu is on he is brilliant but when he's off he's fecking awful, Evans should be available after the International break, same with Vestergaard, problem is we are playing Man City

So yes. Thanks for clarifying.

He's been having a mare since the tail end of last season. Including the Euros.

If he still highly rated? Whenever I watch Leicester games, he makes so many mistakes.

Maybe the only defender who has been worse than Maguire this season.

you've not seen Vestergaard play have you? can't run 6'6" but can't head, experienced but can't lead and his presence demands a system we're not very good at playing

I know he's been bad but didn't watch him enough, Soyuncu though seems to be at the center of a lot of goals you've conceded.

if everyone was fit Fofana would have over taken him, will likely go in the summer as he'll only have a year left on his deal
Another hype Fofana. We love to hype Leicester defenders don’t we? Maguire, Soyuncu not long ago was the best thing since slice bread, Vestergaard was suppose to be a smart purchase, Johnny Evans shouldn’t have been sold from United and could have done a job here etc.

What happened to him btw? Looked good and had all the attributes to be very good CB. Now he looks slower too.

He made Harry Kane look about 5 years younger last night!

he got a bad groin injury at the start of last season and hasn't looked the same since, he has actually played well this season alongside Amartey who is a no nonsense stopper of a defender and it makes Cags play within himself more. Vestergaard's presence just seems to throw everyone off balance and last night was something like our 13th defensive combination of the system so not having a settled back 4 isn't helping either.

I thought he was dreadful at the Euros (with the entire Turkey team). I expected a lot from a soyuncu-demiral CB pairing.
