Apologies first as this has been done to death without scrolling back. But as Jim Bowen said ' Look what you could of had ' . Only maybe 18 months since we were heavily linked and many on here 'knew ' he was ours and it was signed sealed delivered. Everything you want in a modern day footballer. Quick, athletic, composed. Surely an England call is a matter of time. I wonder if we were actually close to getting him or it was just lazy journalism because of the link with the loon. Can be added allegedly to Maguire and Robertson as nearly becoming Stoke players  |

We weren’t even close.
He was no Demba Ba.

We would have ruined him, being under an incompetent manager in a toxic squad. That almost happened to Nick Powell.

I think it must've been a choice between regular football with us or being No. 2 to Chilwell. For a time, it seemed like he'd made the wrong decision as at one point, even Fuchs was being selected ahead of him when Chilwell was out. But he's made that position his own now. |

Don't remember that, that's not to say it didn't happen but we were heavily linked with both fullbacks but just seemed lazy journalism. |

Was it definitely him, or was it like that time someone saw blind they saw TP at the Moathouse with Jason Koumas and it turned out to be Higgy? (and thank God it did) |

We’d probably have played him at centre back anyway.

(and thank God it did) Justin was close to signing, the club had media stuff lined up featuring him as one of the new signings Leicester came in & the player correctly chose that option no shame in missing out however what made zero sense was the only plan B for left back in the diamond system was MacLean who struggled there. |

Interesting, real shame but these things happen. That we went from him to Ward as our left back options is a real head scratcher, I couldn't understand how someone who valued full backs so highly could get them so badly wrong. What were the issues with Davies and Powell, did he fall out with both? |

I'd completely forgotten about Ward, good Championship left back>>>about 5 years before we had him. he certainly fell out with Davies Powell had an injury, don't know if they fell out or not |
