I think we probably do, having Lookman would’ve made very little difference to us as we still had Ward in goal Scoring/attacking wasn’t an issue for us that season

Todays Results - Tuesday 10th December Championship: Tom Cannon (8.0 + 1 goal + 1 goal line clearance + MOTM - 90 mins) - Stoke City 1-2 Luton Town EFL Trophy: None of Brandon Cover (Port Vale 1-0 Doncaster), Silko Thomas (Wigan Athletic 2-3 Chesterfield) or Amani Richards (Exeter City 1-2 Birmingham City) were in the match squads tonight in their games FA Trophy: Brad Young (unused sub) - Hartlepool United 1-1 - Tamworth won 3-0 on pens

I can definitely see why he started being used as a wing back a bit when out on loan I imagine if he was playing every week he would have the match fitness to be able to get up and down the wing all game as would be required for that kind of role Expect next summer he probably goes out on loan to mid-table Championship where I think he would do fine

Wouldn’t be surprised if Bayern looked at him in the summer Neuer is 39 this season and picking up injuries every season now, their back ups are pretty meh and Nubel who is out on loan isn’t that good either Would be perfect for how Kompany has them playing

Even if they stay up I expect there will be bidding wars for Cunha and Ait-Nouri from all the top clubs

Seems like he is already gone but they are keeping him around until they can sort the replacement

Gonna get their new manager bounce against us then

I would like to thank all the kind people who have continued to send their support during the last 13 months. I'd like to update you. Learning to walk again has been an incredible challenge. My appreciation of support from family, friends, colleagues, supporters, and medical professionals has been profound. I had the wonderful opportunity of travelling to the US with my dad to meet family for the first time, in Wisconsin. Recently, I've been able to cycle in the Peak District, and swing golf clubs at the driving range, although my follow through needs some work (I've not fallen over yet!) Although my prognosis is still uncertain, believe me that positivity and laughter can prove the best medicine as I experienced with old friends from school on a canal narrow boat on my birthday... there is always light somewhere ahead... new possibilities, new challenges. Take care of each other, and enjoy a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Cheers, Nige

Thats a problem for next season

Spartak Moscow at home

Zakaria El Ouahdi - 22 year old right back at Genk Played with El Khannous last season at Genk and also with him in the Moroccan national team

Weekend Results - Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th December Championship: Tom Cannon (6.4 - 90 mins) - Stoke City 1-2 Sunderland Harry Souttar (suspended) - Sheff Utd 2-2 West Brom League One: Silko Thomas (5.8 - 45 mins) - Wigan Athletic 0-2 Leyton Orient League Two: Brandon Cover (6.8 - 63 mins) - Port Vale 0-1 Walsall Scottish Prem: Sammy Braybrooke (unused sub) - Dundee 0-2 Hearts

Took until 2-0 for the Brighton fans to actually turn up

Kristiansen got absolutely destroyed

Everywhere says only their player was

It was their player who was booked

Ayew needs dragging at half time

Mainly off the bench though, I haven’t really been that impressed when he has started

Able to do transfer business? “We had a conversation about that in London before I signed. We spoke about that, the winter window, and also towards the summer. We also said that there’s no rush to do things. The squad there is now is getting opportunities to prove themselves over this month. There’s time after that to make a good assessment, when I’ve seen the players with my own eyes.” Will there be funds there? “Yes.”

Andy King? “It’s vital to have people who know the club. The DNA, it’s important to have that for the heart of the club. We haven’t met yet. It reminds me of when I started, getting integrated in this world. I’m looking forward to chatting with him, help him wherever I can, and learn from him about Leicester City.”

New coaches? “Similar story with the squad and the January transfer window. I’m working with people here. There’s a possibility to bring people in. Jelle is here. But there won’t be massive changes. Maybe one or two people we can add to help. We can have a good group.”

Ruud Van Nistelrooy Pre-Match Press Conference vs Brighton Victory on debut, but not perfect performance? “Clear. Straight away after the game I mentioned that. The result is one, three great goals is two, very effective is three, but we all saw how the game went. The number of attempts stood out for West Ham. We have to analyse and be in a better shape and keep players out of the box. That’s been the work this week.” Forgiven Vardy for breaking your record now? “I said he has to break the record again, then I’ll be able to forgive him!” You retired at 35, Vardy turns 38 in Jan? “I was just turning 36 in July 2012 when I played my last game. It’s a process that’s slow from the start to the end of your career, when you’re constantly evolving. You don’t have to one day think about it, it goes through the years. Jamie is adapting with the game intelligence he has and knowing where he needs to be. You saw it with the timing of his run. He won’t lose that, he won’t ever lose that.” Showed fight? “That was the aspect of the performance that I was most happy with. You saw desire in every player, how much they fought for each other. The subs had a great impact. That’s our foundation. I started with some little changes before the game that were picked up quite well. We’ve worked more on them this week. On top of the foundations, you start to build a vision for the club.” Some big games this month? “It’s about preparing and performing. We know the programme but to be at our best, we just need to think about Sunday. We play some big teams in the short term. But we’ll focus on each game at a time.” What does Daka bring? “Exactly what he showed. You saw his quality. Two, actually. Pressing off the ball with intensity and that makes it easier for people behind him to follow up and get into duels. But also in the goal he scored, with the pace has. He can time runs behind defences and hurts them.” Need the squad? “I mentioned that in the team meeting today, that the Premier League is so tough that we need all of the players involved and ready to help. The mindset is there, with the busy schedule as well. Everybody is ready to help the team, starting or as a substitute.” Able to do transfer business? “We had a conversation about that in London before I signed. We spoke about that, the winter window, and also towards the summer. We also said that there’s no rush to do things. The squad there is now is getting opportunities to prove themselves over this month. There’s time after that to make a good assessment, when I’ve seen the players with my own eyes.” Will there be funds there? “Yes.” Any fresh injuries? “No. The squad from Tuesday was available today to train. There’s tomorrow’s session. Odsonne is back on the pitch, so that’s an addition to Tuesday’s squad. Harry was outside with the physios, training separately.” How to fix West Ham chances? “There’s attempts and there’s chances. Thank God there weren’t 30 chances. Some of the attempts weren’t chances. The expected goals was three for West Ham and we have to look at that. A blocked shot from a tight angle, we don’t have to look at that. We do better when we are in shape with a back four and two midfielders, a 4-4-2 formation. Sometimes we have to adjust with following the man.” New coaches? “Similar story with the squad and the January transfer window. I’m working with people here. There’s a possibility to bring people in. Jelle is here. But there won’t be massive changes. Maybe one or two people we can add to help. We can have a good group.” Andy King? “It’s vital to have people who know the club. The DNA, it’s important to have that for the heart of the club. We haven’t met yet. It reminds me of when I started, getting integrated in this world. I’m looking forward to chatting with him, help him wherever I can, and learn from him about Leicester City.” Met the Birch? “I heard somebody in the hallway and he announced himself from far away! When he got into the office, I was aware the moment I met him. He has pure passion for this football club.” Advantage with Brighton playing last night? “Theoretically there is a physical advantage. But Brighton have a wide squad and have the possibility to rest players and keep their quality. But we do have a slight physical advantage.” Momentum? “Getting results is the main thing. What does Sunday need for us to win? It starts with the performance of Tuesday again, investing in that fight and spirit, and from there looking to improve certain bits. That’s my goal. That gives you the best chance of a result.”
