    FB: First of all, I'm very happy and proud to get the win. We did an amazing job. I'm very happy for this big win and now looking forward to the next game.

    The feeling is very good. When you play in this team, you feel proud. There are some big players and I can learn a lot from them. They have a lot of experience

    FB: "I'm very happy with my goal but I want to put the team first. We attacked together and defended together."

    FB: "It's always good to get a clean sheet but the most important thing is team spirit. Without it, there is no clean sheet. I am very proud."

    Guys yet another example of how we should push the boat out a little bit. We all wanted him last year, and if memory serves me right we refused to meet their asking price. 12months later he is at Leicester City for double what they asked of us and we only get him on loan.

    Guys been great since he has came in, it's really helpd the backline a lot, just need to * replace a complete CB pairing come June.

    Real quality centre-back, and a goal threat, I just love players like him.

    They wanted 10m last summer and to be honest I'm not surprised we didn't want to pay it, it is a lot of money.

    This guy is destined for big things, people mentioning him in the same sentence as Van Dijk are spot on - might not be as flashy but boy can he defend. Composed and keeps things simple, never looks out of control.

    Boyata as well, I called him every name under the sun after Athens games, and I won’t forget what he done, but credit where it’s due he has looked solid this year.

    Boyata Benkovic partnership is the best we’ve had since Mjällby and Balde.

    I’d have Van Dijk and Denayer every day of the week.

    We need to try keep him. I’d spend Edouard money.

    I’d be happy if we got his loan extended for another year as I don’t think we have any chance of signing him.

    They bought him for £13m. Why would they sell him for £9m?

    Been saying this to people that think we can sign him, If Leicester desperately wanted to sell him in January or the summer they’d get about 15-20 mill from someone in Europe for him

    Because Premier League clubs don't care about £4 million loss. Plus they can easily put a couple of clauses in to get the £12 million back.

    He's only 21. I can't imagine that they are ready to punt him off yet especially as he's improving with us.
