Getting the excuses in early for a starting midfield 3 of Winks, Ndidi and Skipp.

Play Crystal Palace after the International Break

We clearly don't need a number 9, Popov has gone now too!

Not according to the Merc

I bloody hope we've done our due diligence and give up on this one, (ie. someone from the club has taken a look at this thread)

EDIT: Bah, just referencing our Sacha's tweet

Hopefully this 'hijack' is just to get us to hurry tf up!

Only in PSR terms, not for tax or accounting

Ayew ready for this foxes fans? 📢🔜

Zaha did not attend the evening training. Leicester will receive a portion of his salary from the English club as transfers cannot be made without a salary being paid due to transfer rules. Leicester will also pay 2 million euros to Galatasaray on top of this payment. He will make the official announcement of his departure tomorrow.

I don't think we have to register Under 21 players in the squad, according to rule U.1. of the current PL Handbook: So it looks to me like players under the age of 21 would not need to be included on the Squad List to play in a Premier League match.

Looks like he was only in Birmingham to get on a plane anywho

Semeraro just posted this and then deleted it after Di Marzio posted. I don't think anyone has a clue!

Looks like he really wants Roma, will all depend on whether Roma's bid is good enough for Juve to sell to a rival.

The Mercians are also doing a gig at Cattows Farm next month https://www.skiddle.com/whats-on/Leicester/Cattows-Farm/The-Mercians-plus-Support/39233493/

Looks to me like the player is happy to go to either club but we are the only ones to stump up the cash to get the deal done. I doubt Roma would match our offer so all things being equal he should be coming to us. But this is Leicester, so....

This thread is box office! FWIW, my attempt at a balanced post, yes, on FoxesTalk. I would have preferred Corberan, wouldn't have been too bothered if it was Potter, at least there would be a clear philosophy there and we would be trying to continue playing the same style of football. We have instead seemingly opted for Steve Cooper, who, of his own admission wants to play attractive attacking football. He did play that way in the Championship, which is what got Forest promoted, scoring an impressive 73 goals in the process (and only conceding 40), but when he tried that same style in the Premier League he came unstuck and realised against his better wishes he had to play a more pragmatic low block style. I assume he alluded to this point heavily in his interview, waxing lyrical about the players we (currently) have at our disposal allowing this more attacking brand of 'Cooperball'. The issue we have is whether the players will buy into his ideas. Best case scenario, all the players pull in the same direction and we see the quick, attacking football we (and he) yearn for, worse case scenario, we start the season without the majority of our attacking players and end up seeing a low block most weeks. The fact we have hired someone who in his best season has a 1.0ppg average in the Premier League (therefore not enough to keep us up) means he must have spoken a good game., and assuming the latest Guardian article is correct in that Potter rejected us late on in negotiations and we would be going for Potter, and Corberan only if by a miracle even Cooper turned us down, then my only question would be why we chose Cooper over Corberan as our next best option? Still, we've seen this so many times, managers come and go and we, as fans, can never predict how their tenures will pan out. When Ranieri was first touted as a 1000-1 shot of managing Leicester in the 2015/16 season the majority of us (myself included) were asking for anyone else. Let's hope this ends in a similar vein and 17th place isn't yet out of our grasp.

This has just been voted in, and Man City, Man Utd and Villa voted against it! Chelsea abstained

Cannon coming on

Do we think Vestergaard plays in his one? Only issue is if he gets a yellow against these then he's out for the Leeds game. Think it resets after tonight's game so if he gets a yellow against Middlesbrough it doesn't matter for the Leeds game.

The biggest mystery here is that we had a verbal agreement with Inter before he got on the plane, so who changed the terms?

This is where I read it: Sky: Sensi skips Inter training ahead of Leicester City transfer - Football Italia (football-italia.net)
