Morning all  My Leicester City mate has pointed me in the direction of this thread on their forum. One bloke reckons Jack Hobbs is 'Stoke bound'. Most of the fans seem to be laughing it off, and claim he is too good for us, but the bloke who posted it seems pretty sure were chasing him. Wheel if posted www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=66023 |

Haha gotta love the mass delusion amongst the supporters of Leicester! One bloke said "Moving to Stoke would not be a step up for Jack. Well, technically it would." And another one says "Why would he want to go to Stoke and be a nobody when he can stay here and be a legend?"
Seriously what planet are they on?! Fair play to the one bloke though who actually acknowledges that Shawcross and Huth are much better than Hobbs, and are both evidence that if he did move here he could develop into a top centre-half.
Personally I think he would be a great signing. Young, English, full of potential. Abdoulaye's best days are certainly behind him now so we really need somebody to come in and push Ryan and Robert for a place in the team.

He scored against us for Scunny in the 3-2 win at the Brit. Decent centre back actually, formerly on Liverpool's books.

stokey-pokey- Leicester have signed him permanently. Pretty sure Liverpool let him leave on a free.

One season reaching the Championship play-offs and they think that they're better than us? If we made a move for Hobbs he'd bite our hands off, and justifiably so.

I seriously don't get foxes fans- they DREW with us and went down- it's not like we beat them. For fucks sake. Yes, deluded, and so arrogant.

sgtpotter89 - you just beat me to it!
I too - at first, thought he was referring to the late and great Jack Hobbs - the pre war England opening batsman who was one half of the world renowned England opener pair of Jack Hobbs + Herbert Sutcliffe.
That's showing my age and surely makes me an honorary member of the 'Dinosaur's Club' if ever there was one!

I like the post on the Leicester board which says it is his distribution which lets him down. You'd have thought he'd be a nailed on certainly to play for us then! ;D

Technically it's about 13 steps up in terms of league positions. Blimey, good player but no better than what we have, he'd be a good buy for the future, we'd have two potential England future centre half's on our books.

Stoke are one of a dwindling group of Premiership clubs outside the top few who have any money to spend. If Hobbs is looking to make a mark in the Premiership, he can't wait an indefinite number of seasons until Leicester get promoted. Stoke is a very realistic option - in fact one of very few realistic options.
From our perspective, there is a concern that Abdy is retiring. Pulis has an obsession with centre backs as well. A player like Hobbs would be just what we needs and want right now.
I'd give this rumour a few quid down at the bookies.
