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

Man City to win to nil is 2.2 or 6/5 on Betfair. Doesn't look the worst bet in the world.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Why a four year deal and not a five? Seems strange for a young player arriving for good money, similar to Tielemans.

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.

It really isn't, below average at PL level which is okay for Leicester 2024 but let's not pretend that is anything special.

Uninspiring but a good solid move into the transfer market, happy with that but this is where we are as a club.

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.

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.

Happy to sell any of our players for the right fee, the club needs to be financially stable first and foremost. We're not the same club as we were a few years ago disrupting the elite. Profit is good.

He's going to Chelsea not Crystal Palace such is the order of things you can't blame him. He was a great success for this club, got us promoted and we made a profit on him even including his wages. Great business by us.

I'm happy to sell any of our players for the right price. We're not that club any more disrupting the elite, now is about consolidating our position in the PL and financially sorting ourselves out.

24 in November and he's going to Mansfield, can we not let anyone go in the fear they might improve markedly? Just get as much as we can and move on.

That depends of his options, he won't be wanted by elite clubs, he might get a mid table move.

You can't be paying £20m for a 28yo who has just had his breakout season in the Championship especially as he has been in professional football for a decade. This isn't Jamie Vardy who was working in a factory at 23. No pedigree and no resale value or room for improvement. He's far more likely to be Armstrong than Vardy, you would hope the club has learnt a lesson and doesn't slip back into where we left off last time we were in this league buying players with little pedigree or potential.

You've obviously never seen the DVD Tottenham brought out to commemorate the 2015/16 season.

He's had a bit of a crap career really, from U17 superstar to Man City and was once the most prolific striker in PL history on the metric of goals per minute. He's been here for seven years and never nailed down a starting spot, 28 in October and if he goes Villa that will be another four years as a bit part player. I would happily have seen him sold at any point in his time here, even a year ago when he was getting linked with £15m bids people on here were telling me he would tear up the Championship and £15m would be bad business as you get £100m for being in the PL as if Iheanacho would be the difference.

Great first season at Roma, below average second season and barely played this season, was he injured? Two seasons left on his contract and 27 in October, maybe we could pick him up for €10-€15m?
