Small sample size so far (and some data quality issues e.g goals percentile).

0.76 G+A p90 at Crawley, 7 goals and 4 assists in 14.5 nineties - mostly as a second striker rather than a 10 by the looks of it. Less productive at Reading but seems like he played wider and deeper. Quietly excited by this deal, no contract extension as of yet hopefully means we can pick him up permanently. Riis Alves Doyle Howell Braybrooke Page Should just be too much for this level of opposition.

Faes was pretty good initially. ChatGPT so usual caveats etc So his opening 10 were 6 wins, 1 draw, 3 defeats, with 7 clean sheets and 9 goals conceded.

You can tell Braybrooke has the potential to score more, his striking ability isn't quite consistently theee yet but his ability to create space from carries/dribbles is great and he keeps arriving in the box. Maresca identified KDH could score far more by playing a bit higher (I thought this too, he was prolific at Blackpool) - as someone else has said, there are similarities between the two. He has 2 career goals in 48.8 nineties but the vast majority of his appearances have been deeper for both Chesterfield and Newport. He could conceivably have doubled his tally in 3 games. He'll end up in the 5-10 goals bracket I think this season. Very sma ll sample size but he's on 0.10 xG per 90 so far and yet to have a really good chance, it was the right decision to square it to Bob Reid but maybe next time he'll have a go himself. Encouraging enough shot map.

It’s not like he’s hit the post or forced saves with these misses, they’ve all been comfortably wide or over the bar. Looks a world away from the decent player at Fulham - which is unsurprising as wingers decline faster. Terrible and avoidable signing.

Yeah, it’s a good forum and I’ve found it cathartic with regards to LCFC. The relentless optimism for the sake of it has really ground me down tbh!

Our accents just don't lend themselves well to lots of tunes, anything with too many elongated vowels especially. The Braybrooke song is just much more rhythmic which suits us. Pretty much all of our better efforts e.g the Ulloa song, Leicester Boys Are We and so on are short with a catchy hook and not very many whooooahs/allez/oles

We have our best outgoing window in years just as we appoint an actual DoF? Crazy I know, what a coincidence!

Lots of rumours about about him going to Manchester Ship Canal before Windows 98 shuts

I agree, there are some green shoots but I don’t think we should count our chickens. Relatively we have spent a lot of money for this level and for our financial position. Riis, Cullen, Kangasniemi and Bristric is pretty hefty. I’d imagine only Wrexham and Birmingham have spent more over the past few seasons.

Hopefully him and his agent completely missed Martin’s comments about the club wanting to send Alves out on loan. The upside to Martin is he has realised the young lads actually work out better.

People were quite triumphant about the last summer window, giving 8 or 9/10. It remains to be seen how good a window it is, we’re light in a few areas. Chiefly at CM, if Page or Braybrooke get injured all of a sudden we’re lacking technical ability centrally. I have a nagging doubt in 2028/2029/2030 the Burns, Cullen and maybe the Riis deal start to look poor business. Shifting Winks, Vestergaard, Mavididi, Kristiansen and so is great though, does feel refreshing.

What an awful club (well Rudkin anyway), not rating one of our best players and wanting to loan him out indefinitely until he leaves on a free. I think if we had even an average DoF, we’d have seen a bit more of Bassey, Maswanhise, Nyoni and so on. Not saying they’d be mainstays but we’d have seen some minutes and then who knows, they cement a place or we get a better fee down the line.

Gash. Got to hope Chaplin is fit again. Never seen a player look like they’re nailed on to miss as much as he does.

Predictable (to some).

Fantastic vision and weight of pass for his age. A full season in L1 will do him the world of good.

Braybrooke The city can’t play without you The city can’t play without you When you don’t start It breaks my heart Braybrooke to Love Really Hurts Without You

It's like every transfer resets some people's opinions of this regime's ability to recruit players. Let's assume the club with a 15% hit rate is going to get it wrong. Instead it's "huh huh who would you sign instead? huh? Someone good? Well that can't happen so sign the shit and you'll like it" 3 months later: "Oh that player is shit, waste of money" Next window: "Jesus you lot moan about every signing we make, your never happy!! Get behind him will be decent at [Level we've been relegated to]" 3 months later: "Oh that player is shit, waste of money" For the first time ever I've thought why do I bother coming on here recently.

All you complaining would complain no matter what!! If we signed anyone good youd moan at that as well obsesses with age can't play a team full of 17 year olds and get promoted bcos we'll get bullied in this league. You have to sign players that are proven and he's scored double figures twice so he's a proper striker that knows where the net is. If you want someone realistic better name them?? We're in League one remember. Who care 4 years? We have good striker if we sign him on a one year deal and he left you'd be moaning about that as well wouldn't you? Should call in moanerstalk just get behind the team. if it was so easy just to sign good players on good deals we would have done that. Who else have we benn linked with that's scored goals in a level above he will bag loads trust me

Skipp should have gone years ago

If it's on a free and one year (or one with an option) and low-ish wages - happy days, excellent signing. I have a feeling it will be two years and a hefty wages though.

They’re a thick bunch on their near unusable forum.

Poor personality

Blue Bell, Golden Ball, the Phoenix are the best imo

We can sign this guy or literally nobody else, got it. Good job we don’t have a Chief Football Officer, Director of football, Head of Recruitment, Chief Scout, scouts and analysts. I’m sure he’d be ‘alright’ but that the problem. “Oh but it’s late in the window” - don’t sign Cullen then? “We’re in League One, who do you want Haaland?” There are lots of other Championship options, L1, L2, Scotland, loanees and so on. If Riis is £1m then fine, could be worse. But it won’t be, we’ve seen this before.
