Anything from the Tinder thread, god rest its soul.

Since the 22/23 season (7 windows later), we've had 3 genuinely good signings - Fatawu, Hermansen, BEK. Somewhat ambitious to hope for three in the space of two weeks.

The question is, is Winks willing to set an earlier alarm to make the 12:30 KO?

The 1st team on paper is good but the majority of the 1st team’s attitude absolutely honks. Such an unlikeable club.

Gun to Rudkin’s head I genuinely don’t think he’d be able to tell you what half of these positions are, let along sign them.

Monga, Fatawu, Ricardo, Bilal (until next week). The rest of them can genuinely get ****ed.

I reckon I’ve said this every week for about 3 years

He's in a tough spot because £ for £ he's looking like he could well be one of the very worst signings this club has made in the last 10 years if he continues on this trajectory, and that is a seriously damning accusation. People will rightly point to Musa, Slimani, Ward as being worse and they probably are... but £20m on Skipp could well end up looking worse.

It's not really about him, it's more the fact that we absolutely cannot afford to play Skipp & Soumare this season if we want to get promoted. Additionally, do you trust the Director of Football to use the £5m we'd get for Winks on anyone half as good as him?

Completely agree - him giving it back is one of the more likeable things he's done. Shows he has an ounce of professional pride.

I hope he knew how prominent he is in many of our memories of the best days of our lives as Leicester fans. RIP

It’s been time to go for a while but the reality is this club doesn’t know how to sell players. The question we need to ask is would we rather get a humiliating fee for him a-la Hermansen or have him as an option this year and see him leave for free in the summer.

It's amazing that we sell a player we bought for £8m 2 years ago, for 25% of that price and anyone could deem the transfer to shed a "positive light" on the people who signed it all off

Again, this shouldn't be a personal thing. It's the same with Rudkin. It is fundamentally not these people's faults that they have been promoted above their capabilities & continue to be employed despite poor performance. It is not up to them to take the moral & professional highground and admit they're not up to the job, sacrificing what is likely to be a very enjoyable pay package. The thread may be titled "Anthony Herlihy", but this is another Aiyawatt specific issue.

It epitomises where they're at at the moment. They're just getting it all so horribly wrong. And have been for years now.

Interested to gauge if everyone's excitement (Or lack thereof) is aligned with my own... Edit: your reason for voting your level of excitement obviously doesn’t have to align with the rationale after the voting option…

I can't wait for the hour leading up to the game on Sunday after the team is announced. It was absolute chaos on here when Cooper didn't pick Ricardo in his final XI before the first game of the season. I expect more of the same when we see big Bobby & Jordan up top for the might foxes on Sunday.

“””””””vision for the club”””””””

if the stadium haven't made it vocally clear by now (They haven't, despite the best intentions of a lot of the fanbase) that his & the board performance is unacceptable, they never will.

85 games Ricardo has missed according to Transfermarkt. I reckon that's 25/30% of the games. Not actually as bad as I thought it would be!

Ah, good call. How much of his was him being useless rather than genuine injury though I do wander.

Has anyone ever missed a higher % of games for us due to injury than Ricardo?

Just cannot believe we wouldn't give Brendan any more money.

I still don't think we need any new signings with the exception of a striker. The league is absolutely honking. So are we, granted, but still.

I think we've seen enough from him to know that this is simply not true.
