The boy Linacre

Lets be honest, its very possible he was dragged down by a horrendous defensive unit, so maybe some slack. BUT in Euro 2024, in the old Pantomime way "HE's BEHIND YOU" totally failing to realise Kyle Walker was steaming up on his outside to set up England's first goal, perhaps told us what we really needed to know.

Obviously the level of Championship midfielders, we can only presume, is at its lowest ever level since jumpers were used for goalposts??

Any chance Ayew can go forward in this game if he starts, relatively quickly too? At the minute living off one barnstorming run against Wednesday late in the game. Probably applies to the rest based on Charlton game too

Well he was at Villa Park in Feb 23

Who cares?

He’s been following this theme for about the last 2 months sporadically. This is doing a better job for the big 6 than carving up the TV money.

Pubs for this?? Or is it too early a kick off?? When the Notting Hill Carnival??? Tomorrow is the Steel Band competition

Isn't that our advantage if we sell him??? Have you seen the guy play for us?? Can't do anything i.e. beat a man, dribble,... what a winger is supposed to do What I would said, this would be totally unexpected and GREAT news, I know much of the other money will stay in the bank BUT whatever they get here re invest it, it WILL be an upgrade

Congratulations to him AND I really hope it works for the club and the manager. He's got football pedigree, lets hope it really helps him and he's a success.

Looking forward to going Charlton on Saturday already. We've just got a very unhappy fan base at the moment for numerous reasons, NO communication from the top as Rome burns. A decent percentage of generally entitled players who don't want to be here and don't take any ownership for our miserable failure last season and bad start this. The fans want to vent their issues in some way but the players need some really positive ongoing support. I hope it'll be better after 1st Sept, we know who's in the boat then and will have to live with it for at least 4 months. I wouldn't boo them but are annoyed and frustrated by them, so its even tricky for me to decide how to go about it. I want shot of many of them BUT unless they get a move in the next 2 weeks it won't be till the end of the season. All we have to try and do is get ourselves in the Promotion frame this season, ideally up BUT hey I saw Sheff Wed & Preston & its not looking good.

Well I hope they do, I'm going, lets start the car now. We just need to get some positivity going and try and not go a goal behind first.

It’s just a totally sad disaster we have watched for 3 years as the club has disintegrated from the top and within. There is NO communication and in that absence AND the shocking level of performance and the continuation of it this season by a totally unhappy playing group a large group of fans are angry, disappointed and severely disillusioned. I suspect we will take whatever we can in fees if they are close to what we want and buy nothing. Tops eye is on a fracturing King Power in Thailand and his acolyte Mr Rudkin is just out of his depth in this role & the way the LCFC bus is heading. Leicester has been a source of happiness and joy for much of the last 10 years for me, that’s not the case since summer last year, I didn’t see Huddersfield but we weren’t great last week & yesterday was poor in the extreme.

I think Marti has seen what the players have now and quickly needs to get tough. stolarcyzk If Ricky’s fit right back or midfield Much as don’t like him Wout he’s been the most solid CH, so him & Nelson & JJ was much better @ LB Midfield = Winks, maybe Choudry just because Soumare has been so poor & lazy & Skipp’s just abysmal, BEK Fatawu, probably Daka, coz Ayew needs to learn to be a team player, Stephy Monga to come on & Ayew, Alves & Evans Can’t say that’s an encouraging line up & Im going 😩

In light of the fact that they wouldn’t take him back last Jan when we wanted shot. I hope we play hardball as much as humanly possible, and if we can’t, get Daniel Levy in on a consultancy basis for a one off sale.

If we do decide to sign him, can we get the fax machine started earlier rather than 2nd Sept 00.01

Should have never been given a 3 year contract, thats a sackable offence and I'm not being flippant, not top flight quality along with the same contract handed to Vesty. Had a few moments, but just not consistent enough over 8 years. In Jan I expected us to buy, this month whatever comes in just don't believe we will purchase anyone, even if 5 or 6 go out. Almost importantly do we expect Laurel & Hardy to find anything good or not cock it up like last summer, see Skipp, BDR, and EDOUARD etc.!!!!

Most expensive miss in our history, literally changed it to where we are now. Skint, clueless and toxic. Sliding Doors. We went down to Everton by 2pts, this was 1pt each, would have been 3-0 if we had gone in at half time 3-1 up.

My issue is in the LCFC managerial Russian roulette & musical chairs, the youngsters never get a chance, new man in go with tried and trusted, so they get cup play or a loan out. I think we're poor at their senior development. Chilwell, Schlupp, King, Barnes, Choudry, Thomas, KDH plus last season and this from 2016, thats not great even with Seagrave. And there all getting a sniff now coz we're skint. Promise you if we ever recover in anyway, wallet will come out and players from other clubs/abroad will come steaming in. BUT how many will play 50 to 100 games for Leicester AND be decent.

Much much more, always never rated him A fairly common thread seems to be this guy is earning £780k per year??? more than probably 99.5% of Leicestershire workers Is he worth that??? e luckily scored a few goals at the start of the last Championship season, that got him some time in the squad that season, hardly a look in top flight last year. He always plays coz he's last man standing after any anybody good has left. Again why do most on here see it AND Rudkin wouldn't take Sunderland's money when we were skint and PSR had arrived or was incoming. Just like Hamza, how have they been here SO long when so limited quality, annoyingly they have 1 good game in 20, that gets clocked and they get another 6 months of good faith.

Yesterday ahoy! ahoy! land, sea and sky ahoy!ahoy! boy, man and soldier

Stolarczyk - fine at Champs might be ok in Prem (but we're not getting back there this season after last night) Justin - higher level at Champs, don't have any major issues with him Souttar - Gets better every week not playing, just don't know what he's got BUT better than whats there Ricardo - Leicester star BUT the sicknote thing is a massive shame, was even great in Champs 2 seasons ago, just cultured, intelligent and bothered Thomas - Championship level ONLY, not reliable enough, form too up and down Harry Winks - Cultured (LCFC need to take him on the journey), major asset at Champs level when committed and bothered, Sunday showed that BEK & Fatawu - nothing to say, standout Alves & Braybrooke just haven't seen enough of them Ayew - really surprised me Sunday, star man last 30 mins, but need that level every week BUT IS NOT A NO 9, get 10-12 goals if we are lucky and we score a lot??? Stephy - Plays when he wants to, bit of a show pony BUT does have some end product, fine at Champs level did is 2 years ago, can do it again Monga - still young, will be a star Ben Nelson - I really want it to work So we are relying on 12-14 footballers, 2 are too young, 1 is always injured, 1-3 could be off and don't expect a replacement. Its on the above for promotion. Don't expect any promotion from the swamp below into this group. The rest have repeatedly proved either they think they are better than they are or just are not very good i.e. Wout, super limited Vesty, lazy, not very intelligent Soumare, after repeated trials just not very effective to the point of poor Skipp, Daka sad but true-awful if you're judged on finishing, BDCR where is he? Mcateer just don't get him as a winger or a footballer really, Hamza 1 good game in 20, Victor whats happening there? Okoli can he stay and get better? Have to mention Top and Rudders, what they have done financially to the club to leave us with this list and 2 relegations in 3 seasons after 9 top flight seasons, business management that would have both gone were they in any other business. Football acumen off the scale of stupidity, somebody bought Skipp for big bucks AND bought Coulibaly in for what purpose? Stunning ineptitude.

So at this moment in time, for stark reality, how far removed & distant are we from: 1) Beating Everton 3-1 at the KP in May 16 2) Winning the FA Cup final 4 years & 3 months ago 3) Going to Rome for the ECL semi 3 years & 3 months ago To where we are now with the quality of players we have AND team spirit and health of the club. Stunning ineptitude & sadness.

Does Lionesses penalty shootout come to mind???

So I’ve reached page 55 of this thread would it be fair to say we haven’t played well & a number of fan favourites have had a shocker? Or am I reading those pages wrong??

Nobody remembers him
