Leicester sign Sultan of Brunei's 17 year old nephew from Chelsea to youth academy (rumoured to be renamed soemthing pretentious like Los Zorruelos)

He's better be half decent because this feels like a spoilt rich kid trying to buy his way to a EPL title. Terrible choice.







Leicester should stop trying to be glamorous and sexy. Leicester seem to like these gimmicky signings such as the attempt to get Ronaldinho and now past his prime Totti. If they got Totti aged 39 from Roma it would be a fail as Totti's passion for Roma would never be replicated. If they think they can bring Totti for legacy reasons, think again. It would remind me of when Leicester bought a past it Roberto Mancini on loan. At Leicester, Mancini fell in love with English football (and Robbie Savage) but bugg#red off very quickly after a handful of games to manage in Italy, when he realised he could manage in the well paid EPL one day. Did he return to manage Leicester? Nope, he ended up with Man City of course.

Ranieri et al need to realise it's the clever unknown bargains like Vardy, Mahrez and Kante that are the template not gimmicky has-been and spoilt rich kids.
