Seems a decent lad, good to see him playing well.

I'm happy for him. My dad is a big Leicester fan (loves Villa, due to me, too) and has been really impressed with Albrighton this year.

I liked him a lot and thought he was a decent player. Good luck to him.

Same for me.

He really struggled after us selling Young and Downing in the same summer.

Still there were glimpses of a good player in there, probably just needed a fresh start.

Probably just needed a new manager.

Leicester are getting the most out of him and using his strength of crossing an early ball. He doesn't have the pace to beat many players and he never fulfilled his early promise with us,  but he is clearly a confidence player who's working hard and is making the most of his capabilities.

Maybe others can take note.

The article says he is quick, in the top 5 for speed in the premiership.

Always had a soft spot for him and felt Lambert made a poor decision letting him go. He was was one of our bright sparks in the last half of Lambert's second season.

He wanted more than we were prepared to give at the time. As usual we got it wrong...

I remember not being too bothered when he left but boy has he proved me wrong. I can't help but think what Gestede could do with some of his pin-point whipped in crosses. Aah bollocks!

Oh I can - absolutely nothing.  Another duff there Rudi Gestede.  Albrighton should never have been sold in hindsight.
