  1. When Schar struck the ball there were three Leicester defenders goal side of Murphy (check out 1:11), when he finished it there wasn't a Leicester defender within about 8 yards of him. Not only are we at a disadvantage ability wise but if the players are not prepared to play with 100% effort then we're going to lose game after game. https://youtu.be/0a4RThKWjio?t=71
  2. Man City to win to nil is 2.2 or 6/5 on Betfair. Doesn't look the worst bet in the world.
  3. Implied relegation chances on Betfair Wolves 3.2% Man City 7.4% ------------------------------------ Ipswich 92% Leicester 96% Southampton >99% So looking at that Man City are more than twice as likely to be relegated as Wolves so therefore our best chance of staying up is not finishing above Wolves but finishing above Ipswich and hoping Man City get relegated via the authorities. There is always hope, the percentages suggest it's far more beneficial to create a gap between Ipswich and ourselves than it is to close the gap on Wolves.
  4. Bringing in Skipp for £20m was ridiculous, signing a player well into his 20's that we all knew everything about. The Tottenham boardroom must have been high fiving each other just like the Liverpool boardroom about Danny Ward (yes I said it before we bought Ward). Paying good money for players well into their 20's who have proved they're not good enough and are at peak value is ridiculous. We know all there is to know about them and they're not good enough, players like Skipp, Ward and Praet while we're at it should only be coming here for nominal fees or on a Bosman, £50m squandered on players who had little room for potential improvement and not good enough to walk in the first XI, we deserve everything we get.
  5. Your missing the same thing as me obviously. McAteer and Thomas are both 23, that's not really young anymore. Neither look like they'll be mid PL players in their careers, take the money and move on.
  6. If the fans on here ran the transfers it would make Rudkin look like a genius. We've just sold a player who can't get in our team for £10m and a profit. When was the last time we sold a squad player for £10m+, have we even ever? It's one of the biggest problems we've faced over the last near on 10 years is that we never sell squad players for decent money and all our transfers are either star players for astronomical fees or expensive deadwood sitting out their contracts. Reading this you would think Tom Cannon is the next Van Basten and not be a lower PL striker at best. There will probably always be a few hundred strikers in the world better than Tom Cannon.
  7. This all day long. Far too many fans aren't happy with us selling anyone who they feel hasn't peaked and could improve. The same ones having kittens about selling Choudhury, George Hurst and thought there was still a player in Praet because of that pass against Brentford. Cannon has potential and can claim to have been harshly treated but if he can't get in the side after 18 months and you get a chance to make a profit on him then take it and don't look back.
  8. Why a four year deal and not a five? Seems strange for a young player arriving for good money, similar to Tielemans.
  9. He doesn't have to be here, if he signs it means he chose to be here. We might not be his first choice but newsflash, your wife or girlfriend didn't have you as her first choice either.
  10. It really isn't, below average at PL level which is okay for Leicester 2024 but let's not pretend that is anything special.
  11. Uninspiring but a good solid move into the transfer market, happy with that but this is where we are as a club.
  12. No chance, one good season in the 4th tier and 24 in November, every chance 3rd Tier is his level. He's got interest from Mansfield not from Manchester. As @moore_94 says we should get as much cash as we can for him and make up for the rest with a healthy sell on fee or favourable buy back option. Players of a certain age who have only shown lower league level interest should be sold when offered money for them with additions to make up the short fall in cash. It's highly likely he will never be good enough for a PL or top end Championship club like ours.
  13. 26 in September as well which is a great age to sell players. Not young enough to have sold him below peak but selling him in his peak years as his value only goes down from this point. Love KDH as a player but this is where we are at as a club and we start at the bottom again as a newly promoted PL team attempting to stay up and turn a profit by selling players for good money and hopefully making some good buys to nurture as replacements.
