While I do love a good PSR chat, transfer values do also reflect what a player is worth and reducing the wage bill is a real saving, Would be delighted with £2m and him gone. We massively overpaid for him - both transfer value and wages.

Mads, Bilal, Justin - drive them all to Leeds and drive back with £50m. off you go Rudders

I’m still hopeful that by the end of the window compared to last season, we’ll have significantly reduced the net senior squad size. so far: 3 contracts ended, 2 loans ended 1 reserve goalkeeper in on a short contract and Hamza and Souttar back . I’m not counting promoting youth as surely even we are not paying them massive contracts! So minus 2 at present (happy to be corrected). including loans we should be aiming for closer to minus 10 (1 gk, 3 defenders, 2 CM, 2 wingers). I’d be happy with just a CM and a new striker in once we’ve trimmed the squad.

We’ve realised we are bad at selling players, signing players and offering new contracts. The obvious solution is to done none of it. #Rukdin is listening

All comes down to wages for me (he did sign his new contract when we were in the Championship so hopefully not completely mental wages). Fine as a back up player for various positions and to bring off the bench to help close games out. Skipp, Winks, Hamza + one other assuming Ndiddi and Soumane go.

He’s due a good season, new 5-year contract on inflated wages and then back to offering very little. it’s the Leicester way,

Justin is fine but isn’t the same player as a few years ago. We have a collection of okay but not spectacular full backs (Ricky P aside). So not bothered who goes to slim down the squad.

Start him in the championship, West Ham or some other team will buy him for a decent amount near the end of the window. Same with Bilal. Don’t sell out saleable assets who are probably on reasonable salaries for cheap. Faes, Coady, Vesty, Soumane, Kristiansen, BDR - take what you can get for them and move on.

It’ll be like when all the players were at Vardy’s for the Chelsea game. scenes when the sky sports banner comes along with ‘’Forest set to sign danish international Kristiansen’. Get the Captain Morgan rum out.

Ricky P for me although that will only cover about 10 of our games as he’ll get injured! if the new manager rates Coady or Skipp then I could see it being either of them.

I’d say it’s less about Wasserman who are doing their job and getting players in front of clubs and more about us not cultivating good relationships with all of the big agents. it’s basic client / intermediary relationship management.

There is the Daka drag factor. XG created 400, goals scored 3!

The squad wasn’t good enough but he was worse than Cooper. He doesn’t really have much of a managerial record so it’s not clear to me that RVN gets a job offer from a top club. He needs to drop down and actually spend a period building a team and learning how to manage.

As much as I love an accounting discussion, it’ll be nice to see us actually generate a good fee for a player. who knows we can but dream we spend money wisely next. bilal will be better with better players around him.

Think he can sort out the entitled mentally at the club and will play more direct football. My fear is whether he’ll trust youth. overall I’d be fine with his appointment.

At least it signals to stolarczy that he is number one (and should be). if he is cheap and it’s a 1-year contract then this is fine.

You’d need to have extreme confidence in at least two from Monga, Evans and Alves to let Stephy go. McAteer isn’t as bad as some make out but doesn’t have the same level of flair or excitement.

There was game when Man United were winning everything and something like 20k turned up. From memory Dion Dublin played for them.

Nah tie him up to a long contract, fail to sell Mads and then let them both go for free in a couple of years and resign Danny Ward. This is the LCFC way

We don’t need any more prem experience for the sake it. if we were rid of 6+ of Ayew, BDR, Coady, Faes, Vesty, Ndiddi, Soumane, Skipp and Winks then maybe! And only if on a sensible wage.

There is what is in his contract and then there is also what can be negotiated between the club and RVN - the contract is the backstop. I don’t think he nor the club will want to hang around if he doesn’t have the board’s support which he doesn’t. It’s also dynamic in terms of job available for RVN and managers for us. The contract compensation will likely be based on future lost wages which in turn will be based on what division we are in. There is in then PSR in terms of timing it all. In short it’ll happen when it happens!

a good offer for anyone and we should take it. Daka and Ayew are our only strikers so you have to keep one of them. Same with JJ and Ricky P, you need at least one. We need to get rid of at least 2 from Coady, Vesty and Faes. If Coady is the easiest to shift and for some reason a club will pay for Faes then so be it. Soumane I suspect will go even if on loan to free up wages. I suspect Ndiddi will go also. Not sure about Hamza now

Yes but not for us, my point is that we should give them the chance to

As much as we moan we have brought a fair few players through - McAteer probably the latest but Stolarrzk, Thomas, Hamza, KDH, Barnes are good examples. Even Monga. He either needs a good loan or him and a few of the other Nelson, Alves etc should be told that they will be given 10-15 games at the start of the season to show that they can play at this level.

Ward in for the last 10 mins for an emotional send off. Sub him off after 5 mins for Iverson when it’s confirmed how bad he remains. Get Bounanotte to warm up all game and don’t bring him on. Will we even see Eduardo again? Possibly the last game for a bunch of mediocre players Faes, Coady, Vesty, Soumane etc. Ndiddi probably does deserve coming off early so the fans so show some support. Massive game!
