I think Norwich will push automatic promotion close this season.

Don't think thats allowed anymore, Chelsea would be up to all sorts if it were. But suppose it may have been when he last signed a new deal.

You did indeed.

Would he even have any book value left? The original transfer fee will have been spread over 4-5 years? You can't spread over more than that anymore.

Aluko is ready, Monga/Mavidi/Fatawu will be a fluid 3 behind the striker

Willing to give him a chance under each new era as there's been precious few managers who have used him properly. His biggest strength is pressing (Ayew's worst) and it is integral part of Cifuentes style. If he starts well under Marti we may get some success, even if only short to medium term. If Cifuentes tries to use Ayew as our starting striker I think we will have teething problems as he tries to compensate for his weakness.

Coady adds to our problems but depending on what Wrexham's plan is, he may compliment them. If this is a season change of them paying big wages to players then they are in for a torrid time and he's their worst nightmare. If he's the high profile signing and everyone else is on modest wages then maybe they all buy in to his dog muck and actually does alright.

If El Khannouss has got a release clause that expires on 15.08.25 I'd bank on him leaving and therefore don't start him. Stolarczyk Thomas Okoli Nelson Justin Ndidi Winks McAteer Monga Mavididi Daka

Now i'm unrivalled as the only irritating helmet associated with Leicester who loves podcasts. Good riddance, abomination of a signing. WHAT A DAY

Aluko

I think he's ready for the Championship, still got a lot of improving to do to then be able to go to the next level but I don't see what another year in League One will do for his development.

Not at all. I really rate him. Watch this. He's not just an instinctive finisher. He is composed on the ball, with a half decent 1st touch, can hold it up and is quick. All should stand up at a higher level.

If Vestergaard and Faes went as well I'd actually take that. Mee Okoli Nelson Souttar Aluko

Hmmmmm indeed

More like Coady was. The unbearable little herbert has wanted out the entire time he was gobbing off about how standards haven't been good enough and our players needed to be more accountable. An absolutely abysmal piece of business from us two years ago. Fingers crossed it happens. Was told it was all but done a day or so ago but you know what we're like.

If we only sold Hermansen and Bilal we'd still need to shift 4-5 more. We simply have too big a squad. Hopefully making some profit though enables us to move the likes of Coady, Justin, Soumare, Winks, Faes on etc for modest fees or even loan deals to just get them gone and save the wages.

Class act but we need to cash in. Stolarczyk is an able replacement for the majority of Hermansen's attributes. Wish him all the best.

Hopefully enables us to waive any unreasonable transfer fee for players with less than a year left on their deals. Just get a load of them gone.

I was thinking about this. We paid £20m for him amortised over 4 years. So there's £15m left on his book value. If we sold him for £25m we'd book £10m profit. If we loaned him out we'd need at least £5m to cover his years book value and I doubt any club pays that in a loan fee.

Will see what contempt the EFL have for us if they re-arranged next Sundays game rather than awarded us 3 points for a forfeit 😂😂

We are familiar with secrecy, borderline dictatorship and a select few staff who the owner trusts to run things but are badly ill equipped nor supported with appropriate staff around them. Compatriots

I've been told he's definitely off and it ought to be done quite quickly.

Ala Winks

No-one in their right mind is paying more than £2m and matching his £70k a week wages.
