I'll like you're comment to get you into double figures. I think a lot of people care because we're never going to be any better of a situation if we were to just keep loaning players that we can't keep. For example, would you not be a little frustrated if Fatawa was no option/no obligation. He'd be more than 14.5 million and we'd be stuck with Bobby Reid.

Spot on, and if we stay up and this player ends up a baller, he could end up being worth 30m+ rather than 15m if we have the option right now. We all know Rudkin would be stupid enough to blow our budget in such a situation.

With how much game time and captaincy Coady has had in preseason, I think he starts next to Faes, I don't think Okali is a Cooper signing so it makes sense.

I think he's saying it's either Southampton OR Italy, although I'm starting to think this is your attempt at sarcasm.

I get the feeling that we'll spend big this season to see us through the financial period with 1 or 2 improvements over the next 2 years.

Juventus being the team that has had Villas pants down with the Douglas Luiz deal so I can't seeing this being the easiest of deals.

Can't be true simply based on Bologna wanting to pay that much for a striker who's now in Serie B but don't want to pay less for a left back who helped them qualify for Champions League.

I wouldn't bother arguing the point. I'm sure a lot of people would expect Abdul to play every game, every cup game and then play again when he's injured. We don't have any cover for the wingers and for free makes sense. If we spent money then yes we can argue. Very good signing in my opinion for where we're at right now. Premier league experience, does work hard, good injury record and is for free.

He looks like he's playing against Championship teams in those clips. Seems like an odd buy to me, I know we need a centerbck but if we sell Faes for a similar amount, I guess in our position I'd rather stick with what we know.

To be fair, apart from KDH, he's the only player I genuinely believe wants to stay here and would want to stay.

I get the feeling the money side is agreed, it's just about which player/s come to us. I'm not sure what the hold up is though because Forfana or Broja would strengthen our current squad. I'd personally take both, with Vardy for a year and Cannon to replace Vardy next year. Maybe they want a clause to leave if we go down.

Totally agree, if it means starting the season on zero points, it'll benefit us in the long run. I mean is prefer 25mil and Gallager from Chelsea but this works!

I think people are confused that last night we were closing in in Potter, and this morning we wake up to Cooper. I guess it feels worse because it's Forests cast offs.

I think he's refering to his work rate and mindset. Not the greatest player we've had but tries hard, looks happy to be there, gets on well with the team, not toxic and isn't a bellend. I also get the feeling that when he says he wants to stay here, he genuinely means it.

I'm sure it's floating around somewhere but how much do we need to raise before June 30th? Does the Maresca money count towards this?

At Barcelona the only team with similar resources was Real Madrid, at Bayern Munich there was no real competition during his short stint and at Man City he was given a lot more time than other managers. It's like Playing fifa, give yourself several seasons with what is pretty much unlimited money and you'll win the league. I'm not debating he's a great manager but compared to those who have won things with less money and not having a full team of world class players is a big difference.

To me he'll always be remembered as a manager who was at 3 great clubs, with great players and lots of money that equalled winning many trophies. If he wants to go down as one of the best of all time, he needs to go to a team like Tottenham that have a mixture of average, decent and great players with the budget that doesn't really allow for 70m+ players unless they sell. Show he can do it without all of the help

I'm sure this is likely sarcasm but when we went up last time, I felt we'd do enough to stay up, regardless of a points deduction or if we start on zero, this Leicester team isn't good enough. All down the pitch, we're terrible. If Enzo stuck to his original guns and kept Kel or Daka up front, we'd be in the play offs right now. Blackburn had something to fight for, there's an argument for that, but this was disgraceful. In the last few months we've practically secured 3 teams championship survival, couldn't beat our closet rivals in 4 games, and constantly struggle to come from behind albeit a few. This Leicester team is in big big trouble.

I'd be tempted to walk out and miss the trophey celebration, disgusting unprofessional performance.

I'm curious if this works both ways? If we sell a player for 30m and he signs a 3 year deal, does that give us 10m extra a season for 3 years or is that an extra 30 million for that one season. It's embarrassing that I had no idea this was all a thing, I thought it was every year don't spend more than you make.

Plus the last thing we want is those idiot pundits saying QPR got us promoted!

This post came up seconds after the whistle blew.

Agreed. A lot of the matches from earlier in the season had Nacho up front and we won most of them.

I get the feeling he thinks making a substitute is a sign of defeat, that his chosen 11 can't get the job done and he has to call on others makes him feel a failure. At this point I'd take Wes Morgan until the end of the season!

This women commentator is bloody awful. Has she said one positive thing about Leicester today. It's performances like this that gives women a bad name when they want to be involved on men's sports. If we score it will be a Bristol mistake no doubt.
