Kind of player I would probably prefer as a loan with an option/obligation to buy as a backup to another striker we sign Not sure he has shown enough yet to come straight in and be first choice

20th We will be the whipping boys like Sheff Utd were last season

How many promoted teams go into their first game of the season in the Prem with a weaker squad than the one they got promoted with?

Oh I definitely don’t want us to get him instead of someone like Asprilla or a more creative player who would start I wanted Rowe as competition/backup for both wingers, and realistically we do need that as well

He is a good goalscorer and dribbler and has good defensive stats, so I feel like it would be poor from us to miss out on him when he can cover so many different positions, cheap, and is only 21

Fuming Can cover both wings and 10 and will be cheap

FFS

Holiday Inn in Tamworth been set on fire now, I think it is the one right next to the stadium and snow dome

On big wages and picks up a lot of different injuries

Alfie Doughty - competition for Kristiansen Mandela Keita - competition for both Winks and Wilf *Jonathan Rowe - competition for both wings and can also play as a 10, also only has 1 year left on his contract *Matt O'Riley, Calvin Stengs, Cameron Puertas - new creative midfielder, needed, now. *Fotis Ioannidis, Kévin Denkey, Jonas Wind, Jonathan Burkardt, Elijah Adebayo - new striker, needed, now.

The worry I have with Szmodics is that the season he has just had is very much not the norm for him I don't think we should be spending £10-15m+ on someone who will turn 29 next month as well - we have enough older and experienced players in the squad, we should be focusing on younger players

A shame because that looks to be the only way that there could be serious changes at the top and in the way the club is run

Agent must've lowered his demands then (or they have found a dodgy way around it) Pretty sure the thing about him being in the UK post COPA is wrong as hasn't he already supposedly been to Rennes and then came back?

Going to make a terrible loan offer with an option to buy clause that they obviously wont use aren't they?

Nothing very close then seeing as he played today

Happened to Vettel a few years ago https://www.autosport.com/f1/news/vettels-fuel-sampe-dq-why-it-happened-and-what-comes-next/6641092/

At least he is recognising the lack of attacking desire we have had https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/augsburg-leicester-live-match-updates-9457321 "It was a test that we needed, it was a step up in game, there’s no doubt about that. They’re a good Bundesliga team and that’s the sort of competition we want to be playing now. "For all of the control we had in the game, I just feel, as a team, we need to show more desire to score a goal. To play with the ball like we did and get into the positions we did, it’s to create and score goals. That’s the purpose of our game. We want to be at the top end of the pitch, be exciting and be threatening, and the last two games I don’t feel like we’ve done that enough, truth be told. It’s not particularly an attacking thing, it’s a team thing. "The set-piece we conceded is never okay, but it’s something we can learn from. There’s the performance and the result, and we want to perform in a way to win games, but to do that, you have to have a toughness about you and a ruthlessness at both ends. The last two games, for all of the good positions we’ve got into, we’ve got to be more of a threat. "Also, duels, we know what’s coming in the Premier League, it’s a massive step up. In the end, when you’re in one-v-ones and you’re combatting, and you’re against your opponent, you’ve got to win more duels than you lose. I think that needs addressing as well. “The guys are really engaged, they’re working really hard every day, they’re really trying to take on the ideas. A lot of them are coming out, but the idea is to start scoring goals and stop conceding, and that will always be our idea. We needed a test. We want to win games in pre-season, but it’s never a disaster if you lose, as long as you take the lessons and it helps you get ready for the start of the season.”

Who do we reckon then? Ayew and Nelson? https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/match-reports/augsburg-leicester-live-match-updates-9457321 “We want to add players to the squad, particularly at the top end of the pitch. That’s what we’re trying to do. We were so close to getting a few in this week that haven’t quite worked out. So we’ll move onto the next ones. "We know where we want to strengthen, we know where we want to improve. If we can improve a starter in the team, we’ll do that, and we know we need to strengthen the competition in some places as well. "The step into the Premier League is a huge one. The guys who have been there before, including myself, we need to remind ourselves what’s coming. For the guys going up for the first time, we’re really trying to prepare them for how it feels. We’ll be working hard on the pitch. We’ll be working hard off the pitch to try to bring players in. Hopefully we’ll continue to improve and progress and be ready for that first game.”

Signing important starting eleven players earlier than 1-2 weeks before the season would be preferable.

3-1! Thorsteinsson scores a tap in at the back post after Leuven hit the bar and forced a good save from the Genk keeper

At least it looks like we will get a Nixon update on this tomorrow

3-0!! Leuven counter from a Genk corner, lovely run and finish from N'Dri *** ruled out for a foul in the build up, booooo Hilarious the Genk played gets caught slightly on the back of the ankle, was still a foul, then holds his shin

So many players getting forward on the counter

Literally perfect if Cooper wants us to carry on playing like this
