Evan Ferguson signing would be vile . We need to be signing players on the up like Hermansen, El Khannous, Fatawu etc, not another Edouard.

Why do our fans think that Vardy is the one causing problems and pushing for managers to leave? Kasper got the same criticism as well but now we have a thread about how important he was to the club.

Absolutely no one was backing Vestergaard under Rodgers. Everyone was annoyed at him because he was happy sitting around collecting his wages and not making an effort to leave whilst not wanted. Rodgers got pelters because he spent the summer calling up bloody Janick Vestergaard to try and convince him to come here, only to realise almost instantly that he's not good enough at PL level and dropped him. The criticism was more for even thinking he wanted him in the first place.

Fbref says he's very error prone.

Which club? Watford. Any other info? Dont know.

It would be very Leicester to finish below the team with the worst league start in PL history.

Avdullahu - 20 yr old DM, potential Ndidi replacement.

Elias Montiel 19 yr old DM.

Surely if they wanted him they could have got him in the summer.

We are very lucky to be able to make our money back on him. No way is he a £10mil striker.

One game where instead of loads of shots on target the opponent skied their chances instead. Anyone with sense looks at the number of chances we were conceding under Cooper and the lack of shots we were creating and sees that we were lucky to get the few points we had under Cooper.

Crazy how one good season in the championship hoodwinked our fanbase into thinking Harry Winks is a good player. You even get some fans saying he would look decent in a top 6 side, the reality is he's not good enough for this level, there's a reason he's played a similar number of league minutes for us in 2 seasons as he did in 6 or so for Spurs.

The only reason Cooper had any points was because we had Hermansen in goal. We dont grind out anything without Cooper having one of the best shotstoppers in the league in net.

We overpaid for him (massively) but he's our only defender who can actually tackle. Considering the number of chances we are giving up we should start him.

Is that Rudkin in your profile picture?

I've posted this guy before but surely we should be looking at him. Composure and passing of a midfielder. Dribbling of a winger (despite not being fully physically developed) Movement and finishing of a striker Only 18 yrs old Apparently available for £10mil because of parent club's financial issues.

Stolarczyk has also apparently faced the highest average quality of chances in the top 5 leagues. Means that our defence is regularly leaking good chances for the opposition, rather than him missing easy saves. Ward on the other hand had a 40% save rate with far lower quality chances against him.

Is it ever a "proper review" if Rudkin comes out the back of it with his job as DoF still intact? The good recruitment under Macia was only a band aid for the issue that the people put in place at board level by King Power, under Vichai, are incompetent at their job. Our issue with our transfer strategy is that Rudkin has no long term strategy. There's no coherency between the managers he brings in nor the players we sign under those managers. There was no sign under Vichai that he was questioning Rudkin's position, and it really should have after the Adrien Silva debacle, and Macia was only ever going to be a short-mid term appointment. We have always been a club on shaky foundations under King Power, even with Vichai alive, we may have built something great on those foundations temporarily but the lack of forward planning at board level always meant we were not going to be sustainable as a PL team.

I agree with this completely. It would be interesting to here the opinions of the other side, what do our fans think that we did well under Vichai that we dont do under Top? The issues that are the root cause of our downfall have been building since Nigel left and Rudkin became DoF with a good couple windows under Puel/Macia giving us a second wind. If you think back to the biggest shambles that happened under King Power a lot happened when Vichai was still around. Adrien Silva transfer, 12.5mil for Danny Ward, £17mil on Ghezzal. Even with Vichai still alive it would have all fallen apart, yes we had success but the competency of the club was always surface level. Clubs like Brighton and Brentford have strong foundations because the ownership of those clubs have high football intelligence, whereas the football intelligence under King Power was only ever at ground level.

Not forgetting the amount of defensive work that Vardy used to do in 2015/16

To be fair the footage was against Penarol who were (relatively lucky) Copa libertadores semi finalists last season and the biggest team in Uruguay.

Thiago Espinosa 20 yr old left back

Ugo Raghouber at Lille is the best possible DM we could sign imo. Strong defensively and great at passing and carry the ball up the pitch.

We are somehow both at the same time. We go entire summer transfer windows scraping pennies together then whenever we have any leg room we throw it all away on mediocrity.
