Let's hope so. We need some more good news in this place.

Did not see this move happening.

I go to a lot of Brighton matches. Another year to wait and then I'll have a season ticket. Distance from Leicester and life commitments means I can't get to many of our games. He's a moments player and lacks consistency throughout games. In that way, he's similar to Mavididi in that he's either a 5/10 or a 9/10. Very tidy on the ball, movement is great and doesn't shirk tackles. At his current level of progress he'd deliver 4 goals a year, all amazing. But he has the talent and skills to develop in this area - he's lacked a consistent, long run in the team so a season with us will help him (and Brighton). I think Brighton will be extremely pleased with the deal especially seeing as there's no option to buy. However, there have been a few cases in recent years where their players have gone out on loan and kicked off when they had to return to the club, so there is a possibility we could retain him if it goes well.

We're seemingly skint. We need at least 4 new players so if we have to hold our nose and get a decent player in solely on a loan, then so be it. If it helps us to have more purchasing funds for the 3 other players then that will hopefully mean we can have a wider range of options to choose from. That's cutting the club a healthy dose of slack.

Be lovely if the club ever decided to get some pace at the back too.

Do you have to wear studs or will astros do?

The one on the right is Robert Earnshaw.

Fe-Fi-Fofana, I smell the blood of a panic buy.

The way this transfer period is going, fairly likely that a Dennis Praet new contract is incoming.

Just think of the confidence he'll regain when he has our dynamic attacking midfielders - Ndidi and Chaudhary - creating a wealth of chances for him...

"Jordan Ayew to Roma. Here we go!'

The opposition?

Not so much of an issue when you're moving down a division. Fairly significant if you're going up a division. When all our direct competitors have strengthened fairly well, our meandering approach is a huge concern.

I’m beyond depressed at the thought of this season. It will be a car crash and the only poor sod who will suffer will be the manager, who will be replaced. Despite having both hands tied behind his back by a recruitment team that aren’t fit for purpose. The sheer level of contempt with which the club treat fans will reach boiling point despite them pulling out all the stops and offering us Yum Yums and Chang beer. Things will get so bad that even the cool ‘typical Foxes Talk overreactions’ crew will get on board the dissent train. Our contract hope of an improvement is Jordan Ayew. What merry hell is this?

Finger on the pulse here. YTS ended 35 years ago.

Here's hoping that Leeds bid for him, we match the bid and then he chooses Leeds. The implosion on here would tear the universe apart.

As depressing as you may all feel now, imagine how depressed you're going to feel when you find out Ruskin has managed to negotiate the fee for Ayew as the same as the one we offered for Soule.

This is a Brewster's Millions signing - someone has clearly been employed to waste what little money we have. I'll despair if we end up with him, just shows we've given this season up.

Thing is, there's value in the transfer market. Spending £10m+ on Okoli, when his own fans were celebrating how much they were getting for him either proves they're totally clueless or (as is the Leicester way) we've paid over the odds for a player when there's been seemingly no competition for his signing. Meanwhile, Ronnie Edwards goes for £3.5m. Forest under Cooper picked up some decent players for good prices, such as Hudson-Odoi for around £3m, whereas there's always the feeling we're seen as an easy touch for an inflated fee. Then you have the other side of it where we overprice our players to the extent we just can't shift anyone. Last season we bought well, admittedly, But this season is a huge concern. I'd rather we spent £10m on 3-4 young, promising EFL players who have fire in their belly to succeed.

Initials are Kieran KK, so KKK? That's pretty unfortunate.

Ayew having a laugh?! Who's next? Jozy Altidore?

I really think we need to step it up in terms of new signings. Just looking at the promoted clubs, I’m worried. Ipswich - Omari Hutchinson, Ben Johnson, Jacob Greaves, Liam Delap, Ari Muric (Total: c.€72m) Southampton - Adam Lallana, Rento Takoaka, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Charlie Taylor, Ronnie Edwards, Nathan Wood, Yukinari Sugawara, Flynn Downes, Khiani Shombe, Brook Myers, Juan, Wellington (Total: c.€54m) Us - Bobby Cordova-Reid, Michael Golding, Caleb Okoli, Fatawu, (Total:€36m) Just seems like we’ve stagnated and our competitors are trying to really improve their team. I appreciate there’s PSR concerns. We’ve been more considerably weakened by departures than the other two and Southampton also have a number of decent players returning from loans - including Alcaraz and Bella-Kotchap. I don’t put too much stock in pre-season friendliness but it’s abundantly clear we need to really step things up on the transfer front. We desperately need a striker and creativity in CM. For the love of Birch, please no more bloody CBs.

No wonder Soumare struggles to get round the pitch, carrying that mahoosive head.
