Agree with most of this but can’t see the club binning off new signing McCarthy after just signing him and him making 2 starts. however the rest of the list absolutely 100%

Wout Faes signs for Leicester - Official
Claudio Fannieri replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Nail on the head, absolutely spot on however I really doubt we have the capability within the club to move out this number of players and bring in at least 4 or 5 more in the space of a week, I wait with baited breath and hope i am proved wrong. -
I am merely sharing what I have been told by the journalist who broke the story, he was all set to sign in time for him to be involved tonight that was the plan, it has been delayed and it sits at our end. my comment about dragging our heels stands, especially when we need to shift out 5 or 6 and bring in 3 or 4 more in a week to stand any chance to be successful this season.

Summer 26 Transfer rumours 'X' and other Weak Links
Claudio Fannieri replied to davieG's topic in Transfer Talk
It did cross my mind whether we could do a loan with an obligation to buy at the end of the season. -
At least read my post before commenting, the plan was for the signing to be completed yesterday so he could be involved tonight, however it’s not been finalised and his club are waiting on us to decide when it gets done and dusted. So it would appear the delay is on our side.

Summer 26 Transfer rumours 'X' and other Weak Links
Claudio Fannieri replied to davieG's topic in Transfer Talk
I did wonder about this I had seen a rumour he has handed in a transfer request. Would be a cracking signing, but I think they paid about £4m for him and he has a couple of years left on his contract so might be an expensive deal to do. -
Yep appreciate all that but please note the last sentence……
-
seems we love dragging our heels even when a deal is pretty much done and dusted ……and we wonder why we never get a lot of multiple deals done on deadline days like others seem to be able to do, will hopefully be announced today but too late now to be included against Ipswich - Unfortunately the plan to get everything sealed today for Ilari to play as early as tomorrow didn’t happen.. some paperwork still being handled. but yeah he may still be announced tomorrow though. FC Inter just waiting for Leicester to decide when they want to do it

6ft 6 inch defender, this has come out of the blue hopefully means one or two are leaving. -
Couldn’t agree more really cannot understand or fathom why we aren’t playing Sammy as the 6 and Page in the more advanced role. it’s stating to feel a little like last season when Marti was playing certain players to retain market value and negotiating leverage.

Louis Page (Man Utd offer refused, staying)
Claudio Fannieri replied to GLC's topic in Transfer Talk
Wow this is absolutely incredible, wants to play a more defensive style, so will persist with the likes of Skipp & Choudhury rather than one of the brightest young talents we have produced in years. Absolute madness and also very very concerning. I was really hoping this would be the opportunity for Louis to be a regular in the matchday 18 and lots of starts, to hear he is effectively being pushed out the club is really concerning.. Hope this is not because he is seen as saleable asset and the club are just looking to raise some fast cash. -
All quiet on the incoming front (again) ?
Claudio Fannieri replied to Headcase's topic in Transfer Talk
Spot on although for me Choudhury has to go as well so it has to be 6 out -
Yet still some suggest we were mad to sack him, we could and should have signed players like Hayden Hackney, Tom Fellows, Zian Flemming it should have been the cream of the young upcoming talent from the championship, even Callum Doyle would have been money better spent than Okoli, and each and everyone would have had more impact and sell on ceiling than the above.

Claudio Fannieri replied to davieG's topic in Transfer Talk
the sensible negotiaton for Mavididi would be £3-4m + performance and promotion related bonuses that take it up to the £7m mark. As for Skipp I think a sensible option is a loan with an obligation to buy for £15m should they secure promotion. Job done will create wage budget to bring in new players and remove players with the stench of a double relegation from the club. -
It’s very concerning that in the last 3 weeks we seem have lost complete momentum in shifting out the deadwood and wantaways. Faes, Mavididi, Souttar, Okoli, Coulibaly, Thomas, Choudhury, Skipp are all still here, is it a case of no interest in our deadwood or as in previous years is it more a case of unrealistic valuations. Either way something has to change this week, otherwise I see a repeat of last season.

Russell Martin - Confirmed as First Team Manager
Claudio Fannieri replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
…….i wonder how long before he walks away amid accusations of broken promises about the rebuild, forced to use players he doesn’t want etc This is giving me similar vibes to last season, which coincidently we lost our second league game of the season 2-1 to a team we were expected to steamroller (PNE) -
He was in the departure lounge from the very first relegation of 2023 and Enzo came in and one of his first actions was to identify this lad was not good enough nor did he had the profile for how we play, fast forward 3/4 seasons and here we are, he is still here and not only that, he has been rewarded with a new 4 year contract and yet he looks as far away from what we need at LB as he ever did. He along with Hamza encapsulates everything that has gone or is wrong at our football club. Rewarding squad filler players with handsome contracts and being stuck with them well overdue their sell by date. And we wonder why the culture is rotten at the club.

It’s an easy thing to say when it’s not your club being run into the ground and now has a very realistic chance of administration on the horizon.
-
There are literally no words left for him or the ownership, absolutely destroyed the club.
-
Just fecking sell him the warning signs from last season are there, we have to move on the deadwood and wantways, keeping them here will just lead to another season of misery and piss poor performance.
-
My anger ain’t at him at this point. The likes of Souttar ,Okoli, Faes, Thomas , Skipp, Choudhury and Mavididi need fecking off pronto, the fact we are three competitive games into the season and they are still here demonstrates what an absolute shit show we are behind the scenes. This is going down the same route as last season. We need to clear out the stench of failure from the last 3 seasons and it needs to happen this week..
-
If he genuinely has one iota of love or care for this club he will step down with immediate effect, he hasn’t and he won’t. Absolute disgrace and still people will defend him and King Power. Just fecking go enough is enough

Burton Albion Pre-Match Thread (Sat 22 Aug 15:00)
Claudio Fannieri replied to FoxesTalker's topic in Leicester City Forum
I would keep Cullen in and drop Skipp, move Braybrooke into the deeper role, hopefully give us more opportunity to play out quicker and bring players like Cullen and Chaplin/Howell into the game more. Our inability to move the ball out from the back and through the lines from our defenders and holding midfielder in the last couple of games has killed our ability to move the ball with any purpose. my team would be McCarthy JJ Aluko Souttar or Okoli McFarlane Braybrooke Cullen Chaplin/Howell Burns Bristic Alves
