feel free to merge with old thread, but Leicester have signed iheanacho from Man City today, so where would G Thomas fit in there, surely he needs to stay at least another season with us before ending his career with a Prem League move?
Yep, changes nothing, he would never have been near the first team.
Didn't think anyone believed that did they?
Can't see Leicester signing high profile players making any difference whatsoever to their looking at George Thomas.
That's quite a coup! His Premier league record ain't half bad! Surprised someone better hasn't come in for him.
As for the link to Thomas, I don't think it'll go away following this. Ineanacho is first team ready (for the Prem). Thomas is far from that
Yes it is his decision regardless.
What do you think his decision would be if Leicester bid for him and offered him the chance to be loaned back to Cov?
Guys. IM a bit confused. Robins said that Thomas could not play against Sutton or go to Spain due to insurance... so how did our trialist players play? Surely they are not under contract either?
Not trying to make arguments etc and maybe a silly question. But I don't see the difference? So maybe he is leaving?

Going solely off Football Manager, but don't you give trialists a temporary contract?
You are possibly right. But surely by offering a contract would be the same or he can sign temporary one.. just seems a bit strange. But I don't know these laws etc
No my point was, why would G Thomas think he'd ever get into the Leicester first team when they're signing players like Iheanacho, even if he went out on loan for a season or 2, I mean what would be the point for his career doing that?
Thomas is a decent player at this level but will never be a Prem League player as long as he's got a hole in his arse.
He's more likely to sign for a championship team imo.
yeah i honestly think a cracking season in league 2 would do wonders for his potential moves
I would imagine that there are costs involved. Which the CEO might not sign off for a player unwilling to commit.
A trialist is possibly incoming versus GT probably outgoing.
The point of his career, to move up the ladder, play at a higher level, improve with better standards of coaching, and of course... much higher pay.
Did you not watch any checkatrade games against the prem clubs, our boys with much more match experience at time looked like seasoned pro's compared to them. There is no way you know whether he will be a prem player in the future.
If he was to sign for Leicester he would be loaned to a championship club.
I don't know. That's my point, how do you know the only he'll go to Leicester is if they'll loan him back to us?
And someone said exactly the same thing about Jamie Vardy. You have no clue until he either sinks or swims.
Quality player in the making hence he made team of the tournament in Toulon and is being sought by premier league clubs
But he'll be set for life. He could sign a 2 year deal for us on peanuts and break his leg. Then he's just another in a long line of failed footballers with no other skills.
But 2 years later Wilson had scored 22 goals in League one even with having 2 spells out with injury.
I don't, I'm using my footballing knowledge and brain to make a judgement. He may prove me wrong, time will tell.
You are using neither, you are offering an opinion which may or may not be right.
Not your memory though. The accepted opinion around here before Wilson's last season was to get rid because he's useless.
I'm not syaing that Thomas would get anywhere near their first team, but Leicester haven't signed Iheanacho yet (Spurs now favourites for him as part of swap deal for Kyle Walker)
More of a forecast. Then again I once thought Kevin Thornton would be a superstar!!!Guessing then.
