http://sportwitness.co.uk/difficult-bear-psychologically-player-says-transfer-leicester-city-manager-treatment-worst-point-career/ “Difficult to bear psychologically” – Player says transfer to Leicester City and manager treatment was worst point of career Those who followed Adrien Silva’s transfer from Sporting to Leicester City back in 2017 surely remember how dramatic it was. With the move not finalised before the deadline, the midfielder had to wait for six months until he could finally play for his new club. This story was now recalled in the Portuguese media, as Silva was interviewed by the 1 Para 1 podcast, and the quotes are brought by Record. He brought many details of how that happened, and made it clear there are still some hard feelings lingering. “I think it must have been the most negative point in my career. I don’t think I ever told anyone publicly. I was in the national team at the time and I thought it wasn’t going to happen. Then I got a call to travel [to England] as soon as possible, because there was one day left. And I had to ask Fernando Santos for authorisation. I had promised the manager that I would train the next morning and that’s what happened. I had to travel through the night without sleeping and I trained, just as I had promised. But then the worst happened. Realising 10 days later that things hadn’t been done properly. And that’s when the hardest part began.” The spell without playing wasn’t his only problem, with a managerial change making things even worse. “I didn’t play for six months. Meanwhile, there was also a change of manager in those six months, who wasn’t the one who had signed me [Craig Shakespeare]. I thought it was going to be positive, but it turned out to be really negative. He didn’t count on me [Claude Puel]. He did everything to try and destabilise me. It’s easy to catch a coach who favours other qualities. But then when it comes to other things, it ends up being a bit more unpleasant and it was a very difficult four months to endure psychologically, because I wanted to carry on playing for the national team and I always had that in the back of my mind. I wanted to carry on because it was the year of the World Cup in Russia.” Leicester City spent €20.5m to sign Silva from Sporting in 2017, and he only made 21 appearances for the club. In January 2019, the Foxes loaned him out to AS Monaco. He stayed there until the summer of 2020, when Leicester City finally let him go on a permanent move, this time to Sampdoria. Silva still played for Al-Wahda in the United Arab Emirates, and with the end of his contract, he spent six months without playing last year. It was only in January 2024 that he agreed a deal with Rio Ave in Portugal, where his contract is also expiring, and he’s again becoming a free agent this summer.

http://sportwitness.co.uk/wolves-nottingham-forest-leicester-given-red-carpet-transfer-club-needs-money-quickly/ Wolves, Nottingham Forest & Leicester given red carpet to transfer – Club needs money quickly It seems Leicester City, Nottingham Forest and Wolverhampton Wanderers should be prepared to start bidding for SC Braga defender David Carmo. That’s because the Portuguese club are getting ready to sell him and buy someone else, according to newspaper Jornal de Notícias. The outlet today writes about Braga’s interest in Barcelona defender Mikayil Faye, claiming the talks for him should accelerate this week. It turns out that the transfer can only be financially managed if Carmo is sold, and that’s where Nottingham Forest, Leicester City and Wolves come in. Braga are hoping to sell the defender for a ‘similar sum’, and it’s the English clubs that could afford that, as they already showed their interest. Leicester City and Wolves were the first to be linked to Carmo, with reports from Portugal then claiming Nottingham Forest had joined the race. The truth is that the race seems pretty open. The defender spent last season on loan at Olympiacos, who are not expected to trigger the €17.5m buying clause over him, opening the path to other interested sides.

Linked with Trai Hume again who would apparently cost £8m https://www.leedsunited.news/transfers/leeds-united-told-they-will-have-to-pay-8m-to-sign-exceptional-new-target-this-summer/

Took 20 days from the last game of the season to the date we appointed Maresca We are currently on day 16 since he officially left So hopefully we hear something by the end of the week Stuff like this can drag on for ages anyway, Brighton took nearly a month to appoint their new manager

Would love to see how we could manage to mess this up

Sounds like he kind of covered part of the role Paul McGuinness did before he left I wonder if we will ever replace him properly

I wonder if this will stop us picking up Villa rejects every summer

Even with their new owners it looks like Corberan would have a very limited budget this summer at West Brom (if he stays) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cd115k2erg8o

http://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-and-leicester-city-make-contact-for-same-signing-reds-and-foxes-keen-about-e35-rated-player/ Monday’s edition of Mundo Deportivo says Liverpool, Leicester City and Atlético Madrid are in the picture to sign the centre-back in the summer window. The report focuses on the La Liga side’s interest in the 26-year-old, and towards the end, they mention Liverpool and Leicester. Diego Simeone’s side are making progress in their pursuit of Real Sociedad’s Robin Le Normand, and they are looking to sign another centre-back. This is where Hancko fits in, as per Marca. Mundo relay that and then give their own take on the Slovakia international. It’s claimed the defender is valued at €35m, but Los Rojiblancos idea is to sign him for a lower price. It won’t be easy for Atlético because the defender’s performances has seen other clubs, including Liverpool and Leicester, show interest in securing his signature Mundo say they have found out that the Reds and the Foxes have asked about Hancko. Slot managed Hancko at the Eredivisie side, and it needs to be seen whether this can give Liverpool an advantage over Leicester and Atlético in the transfer race.

We are mentioned as one of the clubs interested - would do it just to wind up Leeds fans

Has it only been like that since Vichai passed away or did this happen when he was still around? I don’t particularly remember there being anything around the stadium before he passed away either IF the expansion and surrounding developments do go ahead there is going to be a museum for it all

Yeah all the cars in the main area are unlocked, there is an area at the bottom for what I assume are vehicles they have brought in recently where only some are unlocked
