The Miquel rumour seems fairly solid to me, and Adams not knocking it down could also be an indicator.

Leicester fans on this site seemed happy when they thought they were signing him:

That was a good read SR. I, for one, hope he signs.

Tweets are suggesting deal has stalled and a loan for Hooiveld from Soton is looking on.

Still only a rumour, but it's getting more positive:

Simon Thomas believes that the Ignasi Miquel transfer will go through shortly.

I wonder whether the Southampton fella is a Plan B in case it falters.

Sky reporter at Arsenal has just reported that Miquel has joined us on a permanent. So looks as though Arsenal believe it is done.

He played 10 games for Leicester, they lost 5 of them. They only lost 7 all season which is slightly worrying.

Done.

But was he paying next to Ritchie De Laet?!!!

Fair comment

Fenway I read that thread on the Leicester site. But that was just one post amongst quite a number of largely positive posts. So not really representative of their opinion.

I thought it was mixed personally

Mixed, in that it was not unanimous, but the positive comments far outweighed the negative.

However we will now get to judge ourselves!

At 21, Miquel is still very young for a CB and is still developing. Hooiveld brings experience for now, but Miquel is one for the future, plus he can also play LB.
