Luke Thomas - Hoffenheim interest
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to JamesfromlondonLCFC's topic in Transfer Talk
I'd take the money. Seems a nice lad but can't see him ever holding down a first team place here. Thanks for your service and best of luck for what is hopefully a long and prosperous career! He would leave with some amazing memories - most of all the FA Cup win (and a great assist ). -
He's a good player but he just doesn't play in a position I think we need to be prioritising. Then again, I thought we were mad signing Wes Morgan when we already had Matt Mills and Sean St Ledger, so what do I know

25 Man squad to save our season.
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to Sly's topic in Leicester City Forum
I'd change to 5-3-1-1 formation. Make us horrible to play against. Mavididi would be the big loser, but 4-2-3-1 is getting us relegated. I think Coady could be good in a back 3, and Skipp would do better in a middle 3 than 2. Buona and BEK would essentially do a job share as the No10. Probably fantasy world but if we could get some money for Daka, Faes or Soumare maybe invest it in a new centre back and striker. Vardy still playing a role off the bench for the last 20. First team Mads Woyo Coady New CB Okoli Kristiansen Skipp Ndidi Winks Buonanotte New CF Subs / second XI Jakub Pereira Faes Veste Justin Thomas Soumare Hamza Golding(?) El Khannouss Vardy -
Which player would lead to a higher finish.
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to Lambert09's topic in Leicester City Forum
Mahrez - such a threat it changes how the opposition set up. -
Tom Cannon - signed for Sheffield United
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to moore_94's topic in Transfer Talk
Best of luck to him, he's looked pretty sharp and seems to be a good finisher. Not convinced he looks like a Premier League player, but I'd have said the same about Harry Kane and Chris Wood during their time here -
Nothing personal to him, he's just one of the most valuable assets in a team that doesn't work. If we're going to change things up (which I think we need to), we'll presumably need to generate some cash.

Not asking people to fake enthusiasm, just not constant complaining. I appreciate it's hard to be enthusiastic when you're losing a lot, but the supporter misery is relentless. It was also there last season when we were winning a league. Here are 5 things to think about to mitigate some fans' relentless misery: 1. We literally won a league last season 2. Squad full of internationals 3. Extremely exciting young players like BEK, Fatawu, Hermansen 4. Acted swiftly when Cooper wasn't working out 5. Massive off-pitch commitments, eg training facilities, stadium expansion, debt cancellation I know you could argue negative spins to each of these (we shouldn't have been in the Champ anyway, why did we appoint Cooper in the first place etc), but such people are just drain on my enjoyment of what is supposed to be an interest / escapism from the day-to-day grind. And it could be a lot worse - ask the fans whose clubs have been dissolved or drifted down multiple divisions.

It's not just the stadium atmosphere that's rank, the majority of posters on here seem to be miserable too. You post anything relatively positive and all you get is laughing emojis. Gone are the days of supporters 'supporting'. Now our 'fans' seem to hate Leicester and just spend their time moaning. IMO constant negativity is the easiest attitude, and one of the very worst character traits.

Never seen him play but this is Port Vale's form (in League Two). WDLLDDLDDL Justin needs a spell out of the team but he's a decent player. I also suspect he'd be a lot stronger with a better centre back next to him (like the impact Robert Huth had on everyone who played with him.

Villa (Away) Saturday 4th Jan 3pm (Match Thread)
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to tcrofts's topic in Leicester City Forum
Forward for a full back because we're chasing a point -
A friend of a friend won an "all access tour" thing of the Chelsea training ground. When he met Fofana and told him he's a Leicester supporter, apparently his face lit up and he said how much he loved his time at the club. Can't begrudge him the big move. Would be like us staying loyal to St Etienne when Marseille made an offer. That and he probably knew his body was made of biscuits and the short career of a footballer would likely be even shorter for him.

Seems too early to be able to make predictions like this. Our run in is decent; Wolves (a) Southampton (h) Forest (a) Ipswich (h) Bournemouth (a) Keep within touching distance going into the last five and we have a chance.
-
3 year contract is pretty standard. Any longer could be reckless, especially for a player joining after some injuries.
-
Sorry if this has been covered or I've missed something like him leaving (!), but is Daniel Iversen not available?

Oliver Skipp Confirmed
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to DJ Barry Hammond's topic in Leicester City Forum
As somebody who has previously written off the likes of Jamie Vardy, Gerry Taggart and Steve Claridge after slow starts, give him some time. I know we want instant returns (especially when we're crap and have been financially handcuffed), and admittedly he's not don't anything to justify the transfer fee so far... but sometimes these things take a little while. And I'd give him a break for today. The midfield is crippled with absences and I doubt many would excel in a midfield two with Hamza away at Newcastle. -
Jamie Vardy Appreciation
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to GeorgeTheFox's topic in Leicester City Forum
Embarrassingly, I wrote him off twice at Leicester. Didn't think he was good enough in his first season in the Championship. Didn't think he was good enough in his first season in the Prem. I don't know what I'm talking about A good lesson to not prematurely write people off. My mates still remind me of my Vardy criticisms to this day... and it's hard not to blame them! -
I genuinely haven't. In fact my first games were the opposite... my dad would take us to the turnstiles when they were opening for fans to leave. We'd sneak in to watch the last few minutes! Ever since I've always thought of being inside a stadium as a treat, and even when the result is beyond conclusion I've never left before the final whistle.
-
He's a decent player but I'd rather just keep Buonanotte for the season if you can't loan more than one player from a team.
-
Clearly he's in rotten form but tbh I can't see any other options. Choudhury as RB in a back 4 would be a disaster in the Premier League. Maybe wing backs with McAteer or DeCordova-Reed as RWB? But both would probably be just as bad Probably best to just stick with Justin and try to support him through this bad spell...

West Ham home. Tuesday night.

Mads Justin Vestegaard Coady* Thomas Winks Skipp Ayew Buonanotte Mavididi Daka * Okoli if fit -
Winks is a good player and has never done anything on the pitch to suggest he's not fully committed. Exactly the sort of player RvN should be building his team around!
-
Sorry, but Wout Faes has never been "imperious". We conceded six in his debut and he was scoring farcical double own goals before Christmas. We had a decent run of games near to his start, but he deserves being called imperious as much as Ward, Thomas or Amartey. Lots of long haired players have been loved by our fans (Soyuncu, Savage, Worthington). Lots of short haired haired players have been criticised (Low, Lewis, Bennett). The variable is their performance on the pitch, not their hairstyle! The things Faes is good at should be add-ons after getting the basics of defending right. Until he can do that (and I've seen no evidence he ever will), I don't want him in our starting XI.

Brentford (A) Saturday 3pm - Match Thread
LeePhilpottsBaldSpot replied to tcrofts's topic in Leicester City Forum
By that logic, Luke Thomas' FA Cup win and 5th placed Prem finish make him the club's second best ever left back. (Both are rubbish!) -
Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official

Excited by this appointment! Might be rubbish but has a real glamour about it. Let's get behind him!
