Leicester grab Naughton on loan

Sven-Goran Eriksson has done his first piece of business since becoming Leicester City boss, signing Kyle Naughton on loan from Tottenham.

The 21-year old full-back has joined the Foxes until January after making just one appearance for Spurs so far this season.

dont like it, dont care if he gets more football. harry bought him harry should develop him, what do these managers do between 8 and 5 monday to friday.

i sort of agree mate but these lads aint far off first team now imo, as it happens i aint sure about naughton, but walker is our best right back imo, livermore is more than usefull as is bostock and rose. i think these guys are better options than o hara,bentley,jenas and even hutton. i think harry should off load his older fringe players to make room for these young signings. we know walker and naughton can do it in the coca cola they played for sheff utd, we need to know whether they can handle the premier. but i do see the other side of it too they are getting good game time and minutes under there belt too.

You may well be right Yid, and I'm sure that if you can see it then Harry can too.

In all honesty I can't comment here. I haven't seen a lot of Walker, to be truthful I've seen three fifths of fcuk all of his play. I must say that I'm quite happy with Hutton at the mo though, even more so with Kaboul who has really come along in leaps and bounds under Redknapp, so I'm prepared to wait until Harry is happy to let Walker stake a claim when he believes he is ready to take the place and hold it. I'm the same with Naughton too. I never even saw him against the goons but only heard he had a reasonable game.


livermore is more than usefull as is bostock and rose. i think these guys are better options than o hara,bentley,jenas and even hutton.

Again I'll say that we'll have to see. O'Hara, I believe, is one of those useful 'blood & guts' players that I believe every team should have in reserve. He can play a fair bit too, whilst Jenas is enjoying something of a renaissance with Harry. 3 on the bounce where he has looked excellent. More Redknapp influence a la Thudd, Bale and Dawson? Bentley? I'm not too sure that there is that much more to work with in all honesty. He is the weak link for me and should be off-loaded.

Livermore, Bostock and Rose are all in sticky spots though. Look at the quality ahead of all of them. They really do have to be special to stake a serious claim and will have to really graft just to get the opportunity, which is as it should be. It benefits them and benefits us by insrilling a serious work ethic to go with the talent.


i think harry should off load his older fringe players to make room for these young signings. we know walker and naughton can do it in the coca cola they played for sheff utd, we need to know whether they can handle the premier.

I agree to a certain extent, it's the timing for me though. With youngsters like this, what's one more season if it means they come back with that additional bit of savvy, experience and development, both physically and mentally?


but i do see the other side of it too they are getting good game time and minutes under there belt too.

Absolutely. No amount of expert tutelage will have them ready for the rough and tumble of the English league. Look at the goons, even now MWSL's has to whine and bitch about the physical nature of the league in an effort to give his players protection, rough and tumble he has failed to prepare them for adequately.

I honestly believe that both Harry and Danny see a much bigger picture, one where we are not only building to challenge for the title, but one where we are looking to put into place a dynasty that continues to challenge, if not dominate. Domination might be far fetched but why not aim for it? Loan out these players, prepare them for tough, physical Football, then bring them back and integrate them into the team.


And continue the process so that we always have prepared players waiting in the wings to step into the fray and know what to expect.

Sustained glory is what we are hunting, and I think the club are going the right way about it.
