That's a brilliant translation! Straight out of Monty Python!!

When asked of his first impressions of Leicester, Knockaert said that his "Hovercraft is full of eels"

To make him feel more at home, Stringer switched to the player's native tongue and asked "ou est le singe." he told reporters that "le singe est dans l'arbre"



Apologies to all French speakers out there.

Yep, he's French alright. Look at his clothes.

Exciting, we've had some really great French players here as well from Pearsons first spell in charge....indeed players that will go down in LCFC history....

I'm not saying this guy won't be a great signing. Will wait and see, just find it amusing when making the comparisons.

I love signings like this... hope weve got a real gem.

Pearson seems to have a knack with signing decent wingers at Leicester (Dyer/Marshall) and Hull (Stewart/Brady). Hope he's another good find.

Below the radar signing that probably cost next to nothing, surely worth a punt if Walsh is behind the transfer.

Mind you, with people already critical of James, De Laet, Vardy, etc I'm sure as a foreign unknown entity, he is going to get slated by a few on here.

I'm too impatient to wait until he's kicked a ball for us, I think he's s.h.I.t......

Just thought I'd get the ball rlling

4 year contract, what i've seen online (which there is not loads) is he a tricky, small, low centre of gravity, can dribble and quick.

So we've signed the next Lionel Messi

Happy days

Anyone checked on Foxello ? He must be running out of room to stick the pins in his Nigel doll.

"Anyone checked on Foxello ? He must be running out of room to stick the pins in his Nigel doll. "

He only posts during the day, but no doubt he'll bemoan the lack of well known signings, citing this fella as untested at this level and state that Whitbread is the only player we've signed who has improved the squad.

Bloody hell I think I've been reading too many of his posts!!

Personally I won't say good signing or bad, but we did need the option of another wide player.

This knockabout bloke might be part of the answer .... here's hoping...

I should have added that this is because I've never heard of him or seen him play.

I wouldn't let that stop you, Joby – no one else ever regards not having heard of a player as a barrier to holding an opinion about him.

But the big question I'm sure on a lot of people's minds,can he take a penalty properly !

I'm sure he'll be a chip off the old block...

Now now itwasagoal, no need to get chippy about the poor bloke just yet...

If I was ever going to buy a doll, it wouldn't have Nigel's face on it, trust me

"He only posts during the day"

I'm Dracula in reverse

Pretty much spot on If I ever create a course for would be students of Foxello philosophy, I'll let you know

Know nothing about the bloke, but if Newcastle were interested then I'd imagine he's better than the other unknowns we've signed. And Nigel's in the slightly envious position of knowing that any winger he brings in will automatically improve the quality in that position. However, given some of the wing options available this pre-season, many of whom we available for less than what we paid for James, de Laet and Vardy, I do think it's unneccesary to bring in a lad who will need to adapt to life at this level, as opposed to an Ambrose or Scannell who would fit in straight away.

Anyway, just 1 or 2 more to go and we'll be nailed on for 12th spot

P.S. Would it be entirely immature to start off some 'knock knock' jokes?
