I'm starting to think that we were never really in for Fotis Ioannidis and Adam Hlozek in the summer, we are apparently close to the second and clearly wanted another striker in a different profile to Vardy, but we ended up with Edouard as the "cheap" option. Were the board just leaking things to the media to keep fans happy? Because if we were really in for them, we clearly should be doing the same this window as Edoard is shite so there is still a position to fill. It's so frustrating!!!!!!

We've managed to share a season ticket game within the Google wallet app. Just shared the link via WhatsApp. I was surprised it worked though, I expected it to be blocked.

3 weeks in and we have signed a RB who I'm pretty sure would have been on the list from when Maresca was here as he signed him at Parma, and the only other rumour seems to be for a keeper when we already have 4! Have we just given up? or are Top and Rudkin so deluded that they think the players are good enough to stay up?? What on earth are the recruitment team doing?? Surely they should have 3-4 players identified in every position on the pitch??

We just haven't got the quality of player. I also don't think we have enough goal scoring players who have scored goals in their career. So if vardy doesn't score, no one else does. Bilal looks a great prospect, but he's only scored 6 in 112 games.

New fire machines for pre game show
StonyFox replied to lcfcbluearmy's topic in Leicester City Forum
What is the point of the ridiculous performance that is patting down fans in the way in, other than making fans feel like they're not wanted!? It's not like they would actually find anything if someone did try to take an item in. Also heard the senior security person say "just do 1 in 8 when I gets busy"! -

100% agree! I've refused to even try the version! -
Our wingers are ineffective , so go to wingbacks and 2 number 10s. Vardy can't start 3 in a week. Might be a car crash, but we're in desperate need of something. Doubt we'll change from the 4231 though. Jakob Faes yannik coady Woyo Kristensen Winks Soumare facundo Bilal Daka

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
StonyFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
The squad just lacks the quality to compete at this level. You might get away with it with players with a point to prove, but we have Ayew, vestergaard, DCR, Hamza, who are more than happy to take the money and go through the motions. We had more possession, more shots, more touches in their box, so we did function as a team, but then it comes down to the players to use their ability to make things happen, but their ability is lacking -
Wingers! Mavididi isn't at the level, and McAteer certainly isn't. We really struggled in the final third today, and really miss the pace and directness if fatawu

We desperately need to replace him with an all round centre forward who can hold it up and bring players in. As much as I'd love him to go on forever, it feels like this season he's a bit of a luxury l, particularly against teams where we don't have much possession. He's an ideal impact striker against tired centre backs, but he doesn't have the legs to start every game anymore.
-
Similar Okolie leaving, this too feels short-sighted. If we go down, he would be perfect for us with Vardy ageing and Daka still not performing. We may well need to bring in 3 strikers in the summer if Cannon goes. I only hope they have someone lined up to come in with the money this sale generates.
-
Maybe he hasn't settled, but selling a 23 year old centre back who is on the cusp of the Italian squad seems quite short-sighted to me, especially when you've got Coady and Vestergaard coming to the end of their careers. I doubt we get the money we paid for him, but he may have some kind of release clause if we go down, so we're cashing in now as he's not playing.

We need to talk about social media and fans
StonyFox replied to pkonline's topic in Leicester City Forum
This is very similar to my experience, did away with twitter years ago as it was offering zero positivity in my life. The same with Facebook, where I only use it for family contacts, but it's just full of suggested post's, ads, and real posts from 3 days ago. I'm most active on Instagram, but even that is slowly becoming the same, full of scammers, ads and doom scrolling. -
Yes please!

Was that Hamza with the assist??

Players in for the bottom 5 so far.... Everton - 0 Wolves - 1 Ipswich - 2 Leicester - 0 Southampton - 2

How would you feel if Forest won the league and could it happen?
StonyFox replied to Walshy5's topic in Leicester City Forum
I don't think they'll win the league, I don't think they'll even make top 4. Four of the following will finish above them Liverpool, arsenal, Chelsea, man city and Newcastle. They've already lost more matches than we did when we won the league. -
I wouldn't blame him. It might be for the best to try and get Top to realise what a shambles we are with the current decision makers. But I think they're all too far up each others arses to see it

Ruud van Nistelrooy - New Manager - Official
StonyFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
Considering he spoke to Enzo before taking the job, I'd like to think he had an idea of what he was getting into. Enzo never seemed to be much of a fan of the hierarchy, and hopefully he was honest with Ruud. -
Odsonne Edouard joins on loan - Official
StonyFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
I bet thats why we've paid so much for him. Paying to have him on loan for a year, plus paying enough to cover his wages for him to sit on Palace's bench for the year extension! -
The fact we don't seem to be close to bringing any players in yet makes me think it's close, and the club aren't 100% sure on whether we have breached or not. Chelsea have sold hotels and their womens team to themselves, the latter for £150m apparently! Our women's team isn't worth that much, but surely we could have sold it for £10-15m to cover the estimated £12m breach.

I hope mavididi was watching that. Sometimes you've got to forget the step overs and just get to the byline and cross it!
-
Its ridiculous. Having someone who has never played football at this speed making that decision. And what's the threshold? If it's traveling over 50mph, it can't be handball!?
-
He wasn't even that close to him, how has that not been given??

Odsonne Edouard joins on loan - Official
StonyFox replied to moore_94's topic in Leicester City Forum
What a complete waste of money. I'm guessing we could not register him in the league squad and bring in another loan alongside Buonatte, it might encourage palace to take him back if they know he's never going to play, but also never do business with us again. I hope we knew this before the window opened, but I doubt we bothered to ask the question until now!
