Yes

Aranguiz?

Haha. Or Dennis Wise and Callum Davidson!

No idea when it actually was but there was a dispute!

I heard a rumour (have no idea if it's true) that Slimani punched Vardy towards the end of last season and Vardy is stalling over a new contract until Slimani is moved on!

I really don't think we are after this guy! The media are using us to force the Brighton hand...If he was our prime target we would have got him already.

Correct..The media play an awfully big role in all of this also.

Good post! There is no doubt that we are trying to appeal to the neutral and people further afield, the challenge is producing a brand and style of play that appeal to the masses.

Again, see your point and agree with it slightly but even that can go tits up (pardon the expression) as was the case with Sven when we had supposedly "top players", all be it at Championship level.

Good point. Even the so called "big clubs" lose top players I guess (Man utd-Ronaldo, Liverpool-Suarez, Torres & Coutinho, Arsenal-Sanchez, Van Persie)

I think I'm with you. I think it's just a food chain and we are somewhere near the top half but we still get eaten by the sharks!

They play some good football though!

So are we saying it's virtually impossible for us to challenge the big powerhouses in the near future?

I see your point. It's just more fun challenging at the top end than the bottom, Do you think we've probably reached our level then? (mid table prem team, challenging for Europa league)

Do you think this will/can ever change though? Can we EVER make the jump?

Non taken mate. So are Wednesday, Leeds and Bristol City bigger clubs than us in your opinion?

We're not the biggest City but we are the only club in the City! Apart from Barwell Sports.

You have a point my friend.

Have they though? I'm not so sure!

Cracking post. I know exactly where you are coming from. Does it not bother you though that all our top players get cherry picked from the big boys?

Man city didn't really have much history before they turned into this big club! Whereas Forest do have history. Are Forest classed as bigger club than Leicester?

As the title suggests I'm interested to know the views of forum members as to how we (or any other club for that matter) make the jump into the realms of a "big club"? I currently get slightly irked when pundits and ex professionals call our players out to move to a "big club". We are already seeing the decimation of our title winning team, so I'm curious as to how we can stop this happening in the future? How do we turn ourselves into a big club without players wanting to jump ship? To me it seems like a catch 22 situation. You can only attract the best players if you are winning trophies and paying high wages, but you can only win trophies regularly if you have the top players and pay high wages! Your views would be appreciated.

Well done Riyhad. Good luck and thank you.

I'm pleased he has finally got his move. On his day, he is unplayable and will be one of your best players. You've got a bargain there my friend. Congratulations on winning the 2018/19 Premier League.

Didn't he fill in at right back against someone and had a mare?
