IRELAND’S ROBBIE BRADY could be a Premier League player again sooner rather than later.
After his relegation from the top flight in the season just gone by, The Times reports that the Dubliner is a target for England’s reigning champions Leicester.
Despite the Canaries’ relegation, Brady generally impressed after joining the club from Hull last summer for £7 million, and came second in their player of the year awards (with Jonny Howson winning) amid the disappointing campaign.
Nevertheless, Norwich boss Alex Neil has indicated he is under no financial pressure to sell the club’s top stars and Brady has two years left on his current deal with the club.
The Ireland international is currently at Euro 2016 with his country and impressed in the Boys in Green’s recent 1-1 draw with Sweden.
The Foxes have already made one high-profile signing this summer, with German international goalkeeper Ron-Robert Zieler joining from Hannover 96.
Claudio Ranieri will be keen to further bolster his squad ahead of the new season, as they prepare to play Champions League football for the first time in their history.
I heard Wesser is linked with Barca…a billion a week they’ll give him!
It’s a pity the Belgian and Dutch leagues are never considered, again tis only a 50 min flight away like, prob even less from Norwich!
If I’m Robbie Brady I wouldn’t particularly want to go to a foreign league where I don’t know the language. Even if he applies himself fully to learning the language there’s a strong possibility he will be off again before he’s mastered it. Bit different to players coming to the prem as most of them have a good level of English to begin with
Better quality of life in Belgium and Holland; they speak better English than the English and you don’t have to put up with Murdoch’s rags. A lot to be said for it.
Belgium/Holland would be a step down for him…I totally agree for younger players.. Bundesliga would be a good level alright, and never anything wrong with leaning another language….
More money in the championship
Unless Fuchs or Mahrez move on, I think Brady would be better looking for another club to move to where he is guaranteed regular first-team football.
Leicester have a small squad and will now have even more fixtures with Champions League midweek. He would get plenty of football, super move for him
Albrighton was starting on the left wing for the majority of last season. Brady would get plenty of game time
Brady is a great player who shouldn’t be wasted in the Championship, he definitely deserves a Premier League switch but Leicester wouldn’t be good for him if he wasn’t getting first team football
He’s good enough to force his way in. Plenty of pace to fit in nicely with ranieri game plan
Leicester are in the Champions League now. They’ll need more depth than last year. I doubt they’ll go a full season without injuries again either. Last season Schlupp got plenty of game time as a sub left wingback, and Brady’s better than him.
Better for Ireland if he’s starting in the Championship than on the bench with Leicester
Niall, Leicester don’t have the strength in depth to leave Brady on the bench. Last season, Leicester relied heavily on the fitness of the fitness of their first team. May not be quite as lucky in 2016/17. So to dismiss Brady would be madness for that reason. Also, if Brady moves to Leicester he gets European football and an environment full of winners which can only improve him. There’s plenty of benefits and incentives in him moving to Leicester.
I suppose you’re right.
Well maybe if leicster want to get relegated they should sign him
