Not at all. Best Keeper ive ever seen here by far. Kasper is a legend. But he's the past and should stay there. Nothing about him coming back makes sense he was on the decline before he left.

2 wrongs don't make a right.

U23s? We don't have an u23 squad? Presumably you mean u21s? It will be interesting to see who we released.

Hum... is there really any need for that?

Ex Players - They used to play for us
themightyfin replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Anderton had a better career. 30 odd England Caps Maddison will never get near. To compare them as players is unfair as Anderton was a winger. Different positions so impossible to compare. -
Random / Semi Unheard of Players you’ve spotted that we should look at
themightyfin replied to Sly's topic in Transfer Talk
We are in talks with Agents of Omari Forson but lots of competitors for his signature I would imagine. -

Mahrez Chilwell Mahrez has won multiple Trophies 🏆 since leaving us and Chilwell although not had many has a Champions league medal amongst others. Thats Definitely 2 others who have gone onto bigger and better -
Generations of supporters stay? Simly not true. They come and go also relative to success. I remember crouds of 7 and 8 thousand at Filbert Street in the 80's.

Kevin Campbell In Hospital “Seriously Ill”
themightyfin replied to Sampson's topic in Leicester City Forum
He came at the same time as Paul Moran if I remember right Campbell made a big impact and was a fans favourite with regular calls of sign him on. There was a rumour we put a £800,00 bid in but I don't think Arsenal were ever seriously going to consider selling him. We were crap at the time. But he obviously had talent. Went onto have a great career. Get well soon. -
Good effort again guys for a great cause. Have a great day.

Kevin Campbell In Hospital “Seriously Ill”
themightyfin replied to Sampson's topic in Leicester City Forum
This is a confirmed false statement that's going around on social media and not from Kevin's family. As confirmed in the Everton statement Taken from the statement from Everyon. "Everton also confirmed that a statement being shared on social media about the details of Campbell's condition was false and is "not from the family of our former Blues striker" The above needs removing. He is very ill though and praying he pulls through. -
Development/Youth Squads 2023/2024 Thread - U18/U21

When is the retaine list usually announced? Hughes Richards Doherty Amongst those out of contract it will be interesting if any get deals. -
Your forgetting the price of promotion. There will be a huge cost in bonuses written into players contracts if we went up especially some of the players who has a wage cut. The likes of Mavididi Winks Madds abd others probably will have had a good bonus, not forgetting the clubs they came from who will probably have an add on of some sort coming their way because we went up. Then bonuses to Enzo and his coaches and agents. You are looking at a significant amount of money around I would guess. Plus now the old guards contracts will have returned pre relegation levels. It's now going to be double hardt to get the likes of Ward Iversen Kristiansen Soumare Daka Souttar Now their wages would have climbed. Off the wage bill more wasted wages unless we utilise these players which we may be forced to anyway.

The squad was clearly better than now there is no argument. You are talking about form of the star players you speak of and not if they are better players. Of course Tielemans Barnes Timmy are btmetter than the options we have now. There form may not have bedn but they were still better players. And do you really think Tielemans would have bedn signed by a professional Club like Villa if he was nit trying for his club? Not arsed? He's a professional player of course he was trying but like most others his form suffered as we continued to struggle. You are also forgetting some of the others that you could argue "couldn't be arsed" give a dam are still here and park kf the reason we got relegated yet you say the squad is better now?.
-
It's probably overlooked for one reason only. The standard of J1 league football is rubbish. The chances of finding a gem in that league are remote to say the least. The 2 players you talk about are presumably Myoshi and Sakamento both of which were playing in Belgium. 95% of anyone half decent will already be playing in the European leagues somewhere so finding a needle in a haystack in Japan is next to impossible.

On contracts RIC, many of the old guards wages will have gone back up to pre relegation rates because of promotion as per their contracts. Relegation ment they took a drop but promotion puts them back on their old wage. Promotion will also have cost millions on bonuses built into contracts and add ons in transfers . So Wages could still be an issue For a while yet .

By the time we kick off our squad will be significantly weaker thsn the squad that took us down. Brentford Forest and Fulham Brighton ect that you talk about were better then ,so I struggle to see how we are better than those teans now who's squads are of similar abilities than the season in which we went down now and we was not good enough then ? How many actual premier league standard players do we currently still have who would be in the 25? Mads JJ Ricardo KDH Winks Mavididi You could make a case for one or two others but. The rest would struggle to get into any other Premier league teams starting 11. I highly doubt we will be bringing many of the same standard,in fact we could even lose one or two of those. The points deduction will play a massive part. If we get to a poor start we could be 10 ganes plus into the season before we even wipe out the negative deficit. It's vital we come out the traps and pick up points from the off. I think we neede to be realistic and get ready to potentially YoYo for a few years. Relegation was a disaster for the club is still being felt now and will be for a few years yet I feel. We really need to take of the blue-tinted glasses abd be prepared to be disappointed. It could get messy for a while yet.
