@SkySportsPeteO: Leicester defender Zak Whitbread set to join Derby County on loan. #lcfc #dcfc That would leave us light at the back with St. Ledger always being injured Nigel must have faith in Miquel and Wisalewski to step in Whitbreads contract runs our at the end of the season so his days are numbered by the looks of things
I think you've put you finger on it there. Pearson obviously saw enough from these two to think that Whitbread is now fifth choice. Wisalewski was particularly impressive against Derby.
Can he not play CB? I don't know much about him but he looks like he could do a job there. Looking at his stats it looks like he has an eye for goal which might be why he's preferred at fullback. Can we not recall Whitbread if we need him? How long is St Ledger out for?
... made his name as a right back but has played more as a centre-back in recent times (as I believe I read)
Whitbread can be recalled after the first 28 days St. Ledger is already back and he played for the under 21's last week. He wont be rushed into the first team after his last 18 months injury wise. I think after the international break he will start competing in the first team again At this minute I would say Liam Moore has been playing better then Wes Morgan so both are pretty much undropable
Derby confirm Whitbread is about to sign for them http://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/article/derby-set-to-sign-whitbread-1085791.aspx Schteve McLaren and Zak ****bread is a dangerous combination Last time Schteve managed a English club he nearly got them relegated

@OfficialFOXES 4m #LCFC defender Zak Whitbread has joined @dcfcofficial in a three-month loan deal - http://bit.ly/15Fm6Zf So that Danns and Whitbread off the wage bill for 3 months or at least some of their wages
Could be a good move for all parties. We've obviously got Was, Wes, Moore and SSL ahead of him but he's clearly a solid centre half at Championship level. I've only just realised how much strength in depth we have in defence. To have Whitbread (who was considered to be one of the better defenders in the league a few years ago with Norwich) as 5th choice, we're alright. We're just lacking a striker and a winger IMO. GOALKEEPERS - Schmeichel/Logan RIGHT BACK - RDL/Moore/Wasilewski CENTRE BACK - Morgan/Moore/Wasilewski/SSL/James LEFT BACK - Koncheskey/Schlupp/Bakayogo WINGERS - Knockaert/Dyer/Schlupp CENTRAL MIDFIELDERS - King/Drinkwater/James/Hammond/Danns STRIKERS - Nugent/Vardy/Wood/Schlupp/Hopper
Your winger/striker is please log in to view this image Danns is at Bolton aswell You also forgot Ignasi Miquel and im not sure about James at centre half
