Ady, glory supporting 🛎 end.

I feel such a hypocrite as I used to slate fans of the top clubs for just being happy with top 4 and not trophies but for us to push onto the next level and keep hold of key players, we need to be aiming for the Champions League.

To the tune of Kingston Town I believe

I haven’t been impressed with performances apart from the second half vs Chelsea but I’d take a win today, no matter how ugly. These are a bit of a bogey side for us and winning when we’re not playing well is a sign of a good team. 1-0 will do for me.

WTF how can he flop at 2 clubs and still be wanted by European players like Schalke... he must have SOME agent!

And that is exactly what mates are for 👌🏻

1-0 away win will do for me. Tough place to go, especially as they are in form.

Oh that's fair enough, I thought he was registered.

To be honest, I'd be happy for this to happen with an emergency recall clause as it would be more beneficial for him to be playing football than to sit on the bench for us.

I MISS HIM ALREADY 😭

Give him a send off with a testimonial at the end of the season - would be very fitting. I would love it if one team wears our League One shirt first half & Championship winning shirt second half. The other team wear our Premier League winning shirt and Champions League shirt, just to show all the years he played through. HERO IN BLUE AND WHITE. I also have no doubt that when the Birch finally hangs up the mic - he will be the next in line.

Its mad the amount the top 6 get paid in sponsorship and naming rights, if we were to break the mould, it would certainly bring in lots more benefits - if King Power were to ever give it up 😂

Sky have the rights to 2 matches per round, hopefully ours gets chosen as I don't fancy 2 days off work!

My concern with that is that contracts mean nothing to players, Maguire signed one last summer and then he was (or his agent) pushing for a move which we couldn't turn down. I'm not sure contracts this length, especially for a squad player, are good business for the club.

5 year contract, bit excessive if you ask me. He's not going to be the first name on the team sheet and if he flops he will be on big wages for a number of years. OBVIOUSLY I hope he smashes it but we've been burned before.

Touchy one you are. I'm not stressed brother don't you worry 😘

Well Tielemans took forever to get sorted after he was spotted on a plane, Perez was out of the blue so nobody knows how long that took and Maguires contract was wrapped up quickly because once a fee was agreed Man Utd dealt with it, not us. We knew he was coming over last night, surely someone would have talked about wages before him taking a flight? I don't see how it can take all day, it baffles me when other deals were seemingly done in less than 5 hours for other clubs.

****ING SKY HAVENT EVEN MENTIONED US FOR 45 MINUTES - PRICKS

Geoff, any idea why it seems it takes our club so bloody long to get things over the line compared to most clubs?

Well if thats the case and assuming we shift Silva, Mendy and Slimani (maybe even Kalechi) in the next 12 months, I'd expect a big budget for next summer seeing as we are "rolling in it" and have freed up some of our wage bill.

If this falls through & we don't sign a CB (not likely now) Rudkin will have gone from King of the Jungle, to a gutter rat...

We have a top 10 squad but if we don't hit the top 6 it will probably be down to not strengthening our defence... Weren't all the journo's and ITK's saying we were going to splash the cash this summer? Looks like we've about broken even and banking the Prem money to pay for the training ground.

Surely you speak on the phone about wages before he jumps on a plane all the way over here? 🤷‍♂️

He’s useless, he won’t. £35m - I’m still laughing!!!

This day is looking tragic.
