Gerard

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.

Levels

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?

Also brings the draw away at Preston into play. 2 pts from 2 games wins the title.

I'm sure they'd take a draw at both Hull and Coventry and back themselves to win at home the final day of the season. A draw tonight still gives them some leeway.

I think Ipswich would be very happy with a point tonight as they need 5pts from 3 games, Hull only a win will do. A draw tonight leaves us needing 2pts from two games to win the title.

Bonus in the Hull vs Ipswich match tonight. Ipswich win then it screws Leeds, Hull win and the title is almost ours.

Leeds fans taking it well

Whats happens tonight is irrelevant you were still wrong for assuming it was a done deal. This game isn't done yet either.

Up until last Saturday we had won 3 out of the last 10 league games and people are going on that winning one of our last two is a formality and have took their eye off the ball. Let's hope Enzo and the players aren't as complacent as some of the fans or we could easily find ourselves coming in at 0-0 vs Blackburn at H/T and currently in 3rd position as things stand.

It's not about us not being positive, it's about being realistic. Two games left and we need 3pts so we don't have to rely on others slipping up and people have lost their intensity and focus if they think this is a foregone conclusion. Is it really that hard to believe that we lose away at Preston whilst Leeds win at QPR and Ipswich win both their games and we go into the final Sunday like this: Ipswich 95pts Leicester 94pts ------------------------------------ Leeds 93pts We cock this up 2-4% of the time.

Worryingly there are plenty who haven't grasped this, two draws from two games could see us miss out. Some will be even cheering on Leeds tomorrow night so we can win it away at Preston. You would think we're 20pts clear with 7 to play for the way some go on and not probably going into the last week with nothing decided yet. People who were gutted that Leeds beat Middlesbrough will now be cheering on Leeds at QPR even though the point differential between us is the same.

Yes it is, our implied chance of promotion is 96%. Promotion is likely but it's far from a certainty and a foregone conclusion. This is giving me horrible flashbacks when some people on here wanted Tottenham to beat Chelsea in 2016 so we could secure the title ourselves by beating Everton. We've just lost back to back versus Millwall and Plymouth, is it beyond people's imagination that we could do the same versus Preston and Blackburn? As things stand we still need 3pts, it's not a given. I will certainly be cheering on QPR on Friday.
