Marti  has so few players with an attacking threat this is hardly a surprise and if Ramsey is out it is very worrying. To make matters worse conceding soft goals need to look at the defensive set up. Losing Vardy and Bilal and expecting we will be fine in the Championship with final day loans after raising £50 odd million shouldn’t  rest solely on the manager 

The manager so few options particularly up front that I feel for him. He identified tracking back and getting caught on the-break as a problem but some of his choices like Soumare and Thomas on this occasion probably didn’t help.  I think we need to let Marti  have more time but he will need support in the market in January 

Although the squad might be strong it is patchy and without a proven striker, number 10 or even someone who can deliver a set piece I don’t think we have anything like enough for promotion. Not the managers fault but difficult to know what he can do  in some areas hope Ramsey might make a bit of a difference and at least James looks a player 

The manager needs time but the lack of fire power up front is going to be a problem for anyone. I also think that the wingers although a strength are becoming predictable at times and clubs will partly nullify them. Therefore I can’t see it getting any easier 

Good goal for Wrexham. Have Leicester got a striker capable of that sort of goal at the moment?

To be honest Winks and Ricardo should probably have started 

I'm probably not as keen as some to see Faes moved on at this point. Okoli is still growing into the role and I hope Ben Nelson comes through as well but without a replacement I think we could be short on players with experience that are comfortable on the ball. If Faes is not getting starts by January then fair enough. 

The lesson here is not to pay inflated wages until players are proven in the English game. In fact way too many players have been on big money and it might be why a number have run their contracts down rather than getting moves.  It wouldn't surprise me if Daka goes in January maybe before and perhaps Ivanovic could be re-visited at that stage. Probably finding £10m up front was too much this window particularly after the issues with the Bilal sale.

Winks could be very useful supporting the new players with his quality and distribution. I’m not so bothered whether he commutes as long as he is fit looks committed on the pitch

I’d probably.say 6/10. Leicester got decent money for a few players like Justin and McAteer. I don’t know what happened with Bilal negotiations but I wonder with more cash we could have bought a striker that we know more about such as Ivanovic even Kone.  Jordan James was very good not sure why he didn’t feature so much in France but if Marti can get the best out of him could be a great buy. 
 

Loan with an option to buy. Perfect if it happens

If Leicester are spending money I'd rather it went on James or Ivanovic as they will have some sell on value, or another as yet unknown midfield general. I'm sure Murphy is a decent player the fans love him but it sounds a bit like a compromise getting another winger when we really need a playmaker.  I suppose getting a BEK replacement isn't easy to be fair but feels like last season's business

Millwall desperate to keep him scored 12 last season still very young and a proper tall target man. 

Sky sports saying Leicester still interested but reluctant to pay £10m up front. Doesn’t seem a ridiculous fee please guys sort this

Creativity from midfield vital Jordan James or maybe a surprise signing like Eriksen for a year. Frankly I’d like a second striker in even though one lined up

I’m still trying to understand what the option to buy deal is and loan arrangement. All week we have been hearing a figure of over £30m but now just 25 million Euros? That cannot be right and where does it leave the club in terms of getting a replacement? 

Well £26m would pay for another attacking midfielder and perhaps a second striker not just a loan. Just hope there is a decent sell on clause. Looks like he is flying out today to sort it so hopefully the domino effect will start and the fax machine is ready for action!

Much more like it. 

I don’t know why Leicester are getting side tracked with wingers when it is the strongest area. Spend the money on a quality striker that another club doesn’t want to sell. Marti specifically said Fatawu was one to keep. Everyone has a price but can’t see Leicester selling him that would be the final straw

I hoot the club have done a bit more than look at stats for this player. The fans don’t rate him and he hasn’t scored many goals outside the USA. Ivanovic or Erabi sound more the profile I’d expect or do we simply have nothing to spend. 

Seems to be an amazing amount of added time in games today look at Ipswich Millwall or Man U v Burnley

Leicester so need a bit of leadership in midfield so more than happy with this guy. As long as Winks is focused would be happy to keep him too tbh. Too often this season we have struggled to get control in midfield or pass it forwards and Fatawu has had to save the day with fantastic goals out of nothing.

I didn't know how expensive bottled water was until last night. Not been in properly into the Fan zone but I could see Robert Huth being interviewed last night so watched that briefly.

The manager is doing well with the squad he has and substitutions are good suggesting he can read the game. However only 2 shots on target really need a playmaker and striker sorting this weekend which won’t be easy. 

So a loan for a Bristol City reserve player with no proven record outside Austria. This is after losing Vardy and £50 million in sales.
