They seemed like a well coached side when we played them. Strange.

It's a good opportunity to give Nelson some valuable playing time.

They're good at beating the crap in this league but their results against the best teams is quite poor. I can see the gap between us widening as the season goes on.

Maresca 🤝 blokes who shout "gerrit forwards"

All our strikers except for Tom Cannon get far too much abuse on here. Yes Iheanacho has not performed to the level expected of him this season but our fans seem to project negative qualities on him like laziness, not bothered etc. without any substance to back it up. Fans are allowed to love Iheanacho due to him being one of our most important players in our second biggest trophy win. I suspect the fans that seem to have a problem with fans that give Iheanacho due respect are the same ones that booed him and feel mugged off that he's gone on to be an important figure in the club's history. Also a lot of the fans that respect Iheanacho are not the ones who dont rate Daka, i suspect the people who give Daka abuse, the people who give Iheanacho abuse and the people who strangely give Vardy abuse are mostly the same people.

It's more that if he doesnt work out we cant sell him. Most of our 20 mil+ purchases have been failures that we've been lumbered with. At least with 10 mil players you can offload them easier as midtable Pl, Serie A, Bundesliga, La liga clubs etc can afford them.

25 mil apparently. That price bracket of players is too expensive for us.

The only non big 6 strikers to get 20+ in the last 10 years are Vardy, Toney, Ings and Lukaku if i remember correctly. Vardy and Lukaku are the only ones to do it more than once.

It's crazy to me that our fans would be more confident going into next season with Tom Cannon/Joel Piroe/Adam Armstrong than Jamie Vardy who is scoring goals at a better rate than any of them. All this talk about signing an experienced PL striker to supplement Daka next season, if Vardy was leaving as a free agent from Southampton/Leeds in the summer our fans would be all over signing him.

Ronnie Edwards potentially fits the bill.

Hamza as a rotation option is good enough for me, especially considering players bought for rotation usually dont make the cut anyways. When was the last time we bought a player to be second choice and we actually got value for money from them? The likes of Praet Soumare are what we need to avoid, you could argue Justin was bought as rotation but he only came into his own when he made is way into our first XI.

Depth options quickly turn into deadwood from my experience. I think most of our money will be used on making Fatawu and potentially Doyle and Akgun permanent and maybe an Ndidi and/or Vestegaard replacement. Backup left back and right back are not needed when we have a player of Justin's quality for rotation.

Manchester United. Maybe as he plays more with us his allegiance will switch over but on one of his loan introduction videos that's who he said he supports.

He's a great player and i love watching him but outside of being from the academy he doesnt have a strong connection with the club. To be clear I would like him to stay here to the end of his career as he's an great talent but making him out to be future captain material is a bit far considering he's not a fan of the club like Thomas, Dewsbury Hall, Barnes, Choudhury etc.

Daka's our near future. I would rather focus on staying up next season with our best two options in Daka and Vardy and maybe get Cannon a loan as im not sure he's ready for the PL.

Vardy ahead of Cannon. Vardy is still one of the best goalscorers in the league this season whereas Cannon has a bit to go. It's just because Vardy has higher expectations that people are thinking Cannon is having a better season than him.

Hopefully we do, Maresca seems to have a good idea of what players work for him so i trust him that Sensi is the right player for us.

He went on a free

In regards to 14/15 you cannot compare the club's first season in the PL in a decade to our first season in the championship in a decade, of course the fans were more up for it than this year. There were also a substantial number of fans calling for Pearson to be replaced at this point in the season despite the brand of football.

It's interesting because there were cases where people moaned about Rodger's dull brand of football and got spat on. Whilst i am not the biggest fan of possession football, Enzo's style is a lot more dynamic than Rodgers ball and yet it's apparently much more acceptable to moan about the style we are playing now than the one we were playing 1-2 seasons before it. Hopefully the atmosphere improves when we get promoted because it's put a dampener on an otherwise great season.

Or he's really good next season and we lose him for nothing. 1.5 year contract is too short for me, especially if we're spending £2mil for what is essentially a loan.

There may not be any options in the Winter transfer window but if we get an offer for 40m in the summer i would take it, we could replace him and give ourselves some FFP wiggle room for other transfers with that money.

Not sure there's many strikers who could get 5 goals in 1100 pl minutes, let alone 5 assists on top of that.

40m is a good price for him if we're being honest. Dont get me wrong he is a very good player but that kind of money would help us out a lot.

I think it may be just me who thinks Cannon's pressing is really weak. Whenever i see him when we're not in possession he's barely moving.
