Hahaha this is actually happening more and more. People leaving high flying corporate jobs to run street food outlets. The woman who set up Bleecker Street Burger (the best burger around IMO) in London was a lawyer back in NYC and fcuked it off to move to London and sell scran. So maybe KDH fancies smashing a few patties.

Well for a start Hirst went on loan to Leuven and the Championship twice and was appalling, only did he show any sign of being able to put the ball in the net in League One in two spells at Portsmouth and then Ipswich. This was at the age of 23. He is now 25 and finally showed he is a half decent Championship striker and maybe he will in time be able to step up to the Prem. By comparison, Cannon averaged nearly a goal every other game in half a season in the Championship at Preston aged 20. He's then come to us and not played much but shown he can score and assist and at a decent rate. Progression is not linear but based on their respective ages, Cannon is far more accomplished at the level they've both played at.

That squad is capable of winning this IMO. -

Random / Semi Unheard of Players you’ve spotted that we should look at
Ric Flair replied to Sly's topic in Transfer Talk
And another goalscoring attacking midfielder from a lesser league. Pavel Sulc - Viktoria Plzen 22 goals and 8 assists this season. BOSH -

Players from Greece haven't done overly well in the PL in recent years but Giannis Konstantelias looks the real deal. -
Can you remember Akinkunmi Amoo who we were linked with a few years ago? Went to Copenhagen for €4m. He got released after a year and has then left his next club and doesn't play for anyone at the minute. Crazy.

And an assist. 3 goals and 2 assists in 8 games so far. Him, Nanasi, Erabi and Gronbaek would be nice. 😂

Think it was a 2 year deal -

I think he means players currently playing in South America where there's value for money. St Ledger has been out in Brazil a lot. He's even worn a Vasco De Gama top out in Monaco when he went with all the staff 😂😂😂

Premier league clubs to vote on scrapping VAR
Ric Flair replied to David Hankey's topic in Leicester City Forum
Those that compete in Europe year on year will vote to keep it as it'll remain in Europe anyway. -
But such players will need to be used if we can't fill a 25 man squad. I think we'll get plenty in but whether they are good enough will be the real test.
-
It's going to be interesting, we will need 7-8 minimum without relying heavily on the likes of Alves, Braybrooke, Wanya, Silko Thomas etc.

Worked fine against Chelsea? We were utterly horrifying defensively. -

He once farted in the office kitchen and panicked when someone came in and quickly pretended someone's sandwiches in the fridge were off and binned them rather than own up. -

What takes more time, a flight from England to New York on concorde or the latest episode from me and the lads? -

I did suggest Cashin last year when we needed a cheap LCB/LB. Harrison Burrows would be easier to get and possibly got more potential. -

Percy article enzo set to stay, vardy and vesty new deals
Ric Flair replied to Tuna's topic in Leicester City Forum
Enzo is aware we need to add pace in to the back line, he's referenced it several times. What's curious is he knows this and yet the two defensive signings under his watch last season are pretty slow in Doyle and Coady. Both's lack of pace was used as a reason for them not playing as much with Vestergaard and Faes. He probably thought their other qualities were more important at the time and maybe so but the PL in a possession based system and with defending a high line will require 2 of the 4 to be quick at least. I can see why we have been linked with this Gabriel Pereira and likewise Nathan Zeze. The promising thing is Ben Nelson for his size is very mobile so in time I think he has a major role at Leicester under this regime. -

We sort of play that system now but I think it would need to be further tweaked to protect the defence and midfield better. -
And I'd be very concerned if we were to sign him and pay more than £20m for him and he's 4 years younger than Szmodics.

Didn't stop him doing it vs Premier League in the cup games this season. He will deploy it and we will require something safe and comforting to hold on to. Need pace adding ASAP to that back line. -

Jordan will be out there for the whole tournament, we might do a few bits.
