  1. He would smash it for you lot, especially being under a manager who is going to get him confident again He isn’t really one to take a defender on but he is quite different in that his interplay and ability to find pockets of space to receive a 1-2 is brilliant, just take a look at his goal vs West Ham Him linking up with someone like Buendia who could play those passes back into him in tight spaces would be brilliant We have been absolute crap all season, he has been sapped of all his confidence by Brodgers, yet he still managed to bag 13 league goals this season Would easily get you around 20+ goal contributions next season with European football as well Sounds like you guys are favourites as he doesn’t want to move too far away from the Midlands Please give us preference for a loan or 2 back though haha
  2. Speaking of Brunt, there are rumours he could be in our 25 man squad this season
  3. We have Paul Appiah on trial after you guys released him Currently playing in a friendly for us against Notts County
  4. Get your bets on a Villa goal in added time, can bloody guarantee it
  5. Thankfully we haven't allowed anyone to have a release clause since we lost Kante and came very close to losing Vardy
  6. I think it may well be agent talk, quite a few players are in discussions for new contracts What Rodgers and Wilf have said today in a press conference Wilf: “I am enjoying myself in Leicester. My family is here. My business degree is on hold after my daughter was born.” Rodgers: “He’s been a really important player in my time here. You see the importance I give to him in the team. It’s a young team at the moment. His experience helps the players. Wherever I ask him to play, he gives us a great physicality. There are still areas he can improve on. He comes in with a joy to train and learn. He gives us all.” “He seems very settled, he’s moved into a new house. He seems very happy. He’s a pleasure to work with. We hope he’ll be here for a few years." “He’s worth much more than that.”
  7. Certainly wouldn’t say that about Ndidi Rodgers has tried to move him away from doing what he does best - sitting in front of the back 4 on his own and just purely defending - to now partnering Tielemans in a 2 and also having to be more involved in the attacking play Yet he is still the best player in the league when it comes to tackles and interceptions per 90 Tielemans MAYBE he wasn’t giving his all, but could easily just have been like many of our players his form has simply dropped off, against West Ham on Sunday he was just like during his best here Doubt we would sell Ndidi to you guys anyway
  8. Our bad, sorry guys Last time we beat the team in the 19th 4-0 the season ended for 3 months
  9. He has... he will be starting on Thursday against Napoli Thought he would start this one and Daka on Thursday tbf, but I guess he can't completely manage 3 games in a week now
  10. We pretty much don't have any first 11 quality right winger, it is the one position we have struggled to recruit for ever since Mahrez left According to Fabrizio Romano it sounds like we are looking at Matheus Pereira, no mention of Bailey
  11. Celtic apparently want £25m for Edouard - no wonder we moved onto Daka - and now he is considering staying for the final year and leaving on a free next summer We can have a fight for him next summer on a free https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/odsonne-edouard-considering-celtic-stay-24345715
  12. Oh we have definitely had some absolute stinkers, Perez in 2019 for £30m was pretty shocking, the whole mess with Adrien Silva being late registered and cost £22m, Musa for £17m, Slimani (although not completely bad) for £28m So we do buy the occasional bad player, but it does tend to be when we go out of our zone away from young players
  13. Although he seems cheap, for saying we were meant to be pretty advanced in discussions with Celtic there must have been something stupid they wanted in the deal to put us off and make us move for Daka instead Also Edouard apparently wants paying more than whatever Daka is after, can't see him being happy with a rotation option to be honest
  14. Nahh I don’t think he is worth that much either, he is quality when fit but these injury issues he is having make him a big risk for anyone looking to sign him 3 years left on his contract, home grown, and how much of a pain we are when it comes to selling our best players is where the fee comes from Just feels like if any of the big 6 come in for our players, especially after the Super League crap, we have the right to rinse them for as much money as possible haha
  15. I imagine that would be the highest we would go, but it wouldn't surprise me if Celtic are pushing for much higher than that or want a % of any fee we get rather than just profit, could be them just being petty as we seem to have dismantled everything about them when we stole Rodgers I don't think Maddison will go, going to cost £70m+ to get him which I can't see Arsenal offering, then we tend to want all the money in one go (we made Man Utd and Chelsea pay the entire fees upfront for Maguire and Chilwell) and I imagine Arsenal would try to spread it across a load of years like they did with Pepe - we would basically make negotiations as hard as possible
  16. The rumour is it is an issue in negotiations with Celtic rather than Edouard himself (by all accounts, personal terms are agreed) Wouldn't surprise me if they are trying to include a big sell on clause as they stupidly agreed to a massive one with PSG when they signed Edouard themselves - 50% of any profit they make on the £9m spent
  17. I think you should stay away from Daka Go for the French bloke at Celtic instead
  18. He obviously seemed to be a good part of the setup we had when he was here, however he actually left us part way through the title season and joined Spurs, then eventually followed Pearson to Derby, Leuven and eventually joined yourselves It is an interesting one because we have had quite a few members of our scouting department leave us over the years (all for "big 6" teams) but none of them are still at the clubs they left us for Obviously it can be kind of hard to gauge exactly how much input he had with certain signings etc. as the most that comes out a bit our deals is with regards to Walsh and Mills, however I have no doubt he will of had some role to play in them It will be one of those where it could be that he benefitted from the system we have in place, or vice-versa etc. No doubt he is probably good at his job, not someone we seem to miss though - we have somehow turned Congerton who is apparently shocking when it comes to players into a relatively good heading of scouting
  19. Yeah I think they put a bit more pressure on him than was needed, with us he was head of recruitment and scouting which he was brilliant at Over in USA now doing some advisory role for an MLS team
  20. Mahrez was spotted by Steve Walsh, Kante was spotted by another of our scouts called David Mills Both times they were at games to watch someone else
  21. I wouldn't use Kramaric for measuring against when it comes to how he did for us, only ever started 6 league games and they were all during the great escape season (he only played 22 minutes of league football in the title winning season) He never got a fair chance with us because of Vardy
  22. He thrived when he played next to Kante, but playing alongside anyone else he really struggled He was shocking in the Great Escape season and was also very poor in 16/17 after we sold Kante
  23. Kante was sold in 2016 - initially replaced with Mendy (who got a long term injury) and then further replaced with Ndidi in Jan 2017 Drinkwater sold in 2017 - replaced with Silva (although we then had the whole 14 seconds too late crap) Mahrez sold in 2018 - replaced with Ghezzal, but we also changed system to implement Maddison as an AM to help make up for the loss of Mahrez goals and assists We only ever sold 3 of our title winning team; Drinkwater wasn't that much of a loss, we got a brilliant replacement for Kante with Ndidi, Mahrez we replaced by getting goals and assists from other areas of the pitch
  24. There hasn't been any talk about Vardy retiring in the summer? Just that he will probably be rotated a lot more next season, he isn't done yet But yes we wouldn't look to sell Iheanacho anyway as he has just signed a new contract and even with possibly signing a new striker we still need him for depth, especially if we continue to use a formation with 2 up top
