Jack Hobbs Player Thread

There's a few rumours flying around that Leicester want Hobbs permanantly. Personally wouldn't like to see him go but to progress as a regular first teamer before the age of 23 he'll have to leave Anfield.

Leicester wouldn't be bad for him to move to permanantly either. They're top of League 1, looking comfortable as well so he should be in the Championship come next year if the deal does go through.

As you all know Jack Hobbs is on loan to leicester and is in fine form and they are considering buying him. I hope he stays because when he played last year he looked as if he could replace carra in a few years do you want him to stay or go?

HOBBS SEALS FOXES MOVE

Jack Hobbs has made his loan spell at Leicester City permanent and penned a four-year deal with the Foxes.
The 20-year-old defender has spent this season on loan at Nigel Pearson's side and helped them win promotion to the Championship.
 
Hobbs has joined the club for an undisclosed fee.
 
Speaking ahead of the club's final home league game of the campaign against Scunthorpe tonight, Hobbs said: "I have thoroughly enjoyed my season with the club and I am absolutely delighted to make the move permanent.
 
"This is a massive club and I believe we can go all the way to the Premier League. That's one of the reasons why I have committed to signing a four-year deal.
 
"I couldn't be happier here. Leicester have shown great faith in me and instilled me with great confidence. I really am over the moon."
 
Hobbs signed for Liverpool in August 2005 on his 17th birthday despite playing just three minutes of professional football for Lincoln City.
 
He was made captain of the reserves during his first season on Merseyside, and also played a key part of the FA Youth Cup winning side of 2006, establishing himself as a rock at the back.
 
The tall defender made his senior debut as a last-minute substitute during a 4-2 Carling Cup win at Reading on September 25, 2007.
 
He made five appearances in total for the Reds.

All the best for the future Jack.

Good luck to the lad. Hope he is successful there. Also congrats on getting promoted Jack!

I thought he might make it here. Ah well

Best of luck to Jack

Been a key player in their promotion side. Will probably end the season with a title winner's medal with the Foxes as well.

Well done Jack lad, hope you do well at the Walkers.

Shame but then again in all honesty he didn't have a future at the club with Skrtel and Agger being just a few years older.

Good luck to him and hope he has a lot of success at the Walkers.

Good luck in the Championship and with your career Jack!

So is he a lost for the club? That's what's most important here.
From wht u guys said, he's a rock at the defence in reserve etc.
But if he's something, would Benitez just let Leicester have him?

Good Luck Jack with Leicester City, hope to one day see you playing in the premiership.

sayonara hobbs.....
y.n.w.a

this guy could have been a regular in a few years. with carra getting inconsistant and agger rejecting contract this could leave a big hole for next season

Good luck to him. With the quality we have in the squad in central defence he isn't gonna have a chance at all.

A real shame that IMO.

At the end of this season we could lose Agger and Hyypia.  Not a good move I think.

Carra inconsistent? Blimey.

A tad premature on our part with this signing but i can understand it. I think Jack would have had alot to say about the move and good luck to him. Definitely a promising player.

 I presume RAFA has got a big sell on clause in the contract,could even contain a right to buy him back if necessary.I do feel he will play in the premiership in a couple of seasons,he is a good prospect.I wish the lad well.
