Ric Flair

And play him where exactly?

This is anything but the summer of love

The opposite, he seldom gets chances to score but when he does, he slots

Cannot be that high and even if that were theoretically possible, we wouldn't have been able to comply in 23/24 by only having to raise the extra £40m on KDH and Enzo. 6 points is my prediction, possibly 4.

I'm not saying it wouldn't be, he's a good player. It's more the decision making.

This would be typical of us. Needed competition for Ndidi for 3 years. Was available on loan with a £4m option and now we'll pay £15m for him instead.

Just to point out, FosseHub will post anything that's been published so as long as it can be traced to a source to determine the tier is fine.

A front 3 of Reid Daka Ayew is one to get the pulse going

He's on big money from what I can glean and we already have a decent amount of experience in the squad. If we need to pick up a few fillers then get players on loan and not saddle ourselves like we probably have once again with Vestergaard et all.

This will be the signing that makes me pack it in, honestly.

She looks almost identical to my 14 week old puppy 😂 Hope you survive the piranha teeth phase haha

Somewhat concerned by his injury issues. Regular hamstring and calf problems.

Vardy is actually the exception here. When he signed we played with a front two which made sense and he did well in 2013/14 with Nugent. The way his game developed though he became the perfect striker. Whilst Puel's style didn't necessarily suit him he still scored a lot but it was under Rodgers where he truly prospered in a 4-2-3-1. For 18 months he was sensational.

I think this is just the beginning of our frustrations and we're about to reach unchartered territory in our revolting we are.

Wouldn't be surprised if the stance is that we need to sell players in order to buy many more.

Percy confirmed it too from what I recall.

I'm by no means well informed but I know people that possibly are. My views are driven from what we have been told by the press and reading in to things which could be incorrect. It is alarming though that the way we went about things last summer has shifted once again - although it's by no means the end of the transfer window or the end of pre-season so things may change.

The press have already reported that Cooper wants PL experience, so yes I do think it is down to him. We'll have scouted an array of players but the manager will play a massive part in the targets that are narrowed down.

He gets some stuff right about us. The sad thing is, this rumour could well be believable. That's the sorry state of the direction of this club under Cooper.

Is this payback for what we achieved? Dear me. What has become of us as a club.

Do football clubs get audited because if they do, the findings from the signing of Tom Cannon to back up those of Patson Daka and Iheanacho should be enough to report major failings in our operations. All three of them are forwards who excel in a front two and yet we seldom deploy such a system. Patson Daka's entire impressive career at Salzburg was in a 4-2-2-2 with another striker and the flashes of brilliance for us came in a front two as well. No shit. Tom Cannon was signed on the back of a solid half a season on loan at Preston where you guessed it, he played in a front two and got 9 goals in 20 games. His skill set / weaknesses are clear to see that they are boosted by playing with another striker to create space for him to come alive in the box, rather than do it himself. Iheanacho, whilst his Man City form might not have shown him to have played in a front two, his good performances at Leicester almost exclusively were in a front two, both in 2019/20 and 2020/21 when he single handedly tried to keep us in the top 4 and fire us to Wembley. Despite all of this we don't ever do the due diligence to see whether our managers favour such a system and yet we still sign strikers for that way of playing. Infuriating.

Aasgaard will reach PL level, very good.

And you will hear us. From Monday we'll be back every week.

Recording Monday night. Apologies for the absence. Talking openly though, there's some of us on the pod that are close to jacking it in with the club. That's how disillusioned some of our fanbase are. Just need the season to start but this is as uninterested I've been as a fan for quite some time. Just struggling to relate to what's going on. I don't actually like what we stand for.

The uncomfortable thing is though it pretty much was Ward, even taking in to consideration any other area that underperformed alongside him. Iversen came in and we were still pretty crap but points per game total was enough over a season to keep us up. The only difference was bringing Iversen in and Rodgers going. It's harrowing just how crap we could have been and still stayed up and yet we were somehow worse and that's Brendan's fault unequivocally.
