Can you add a 2x speed option?

We need a CAM and Page is more of an 8. Could be sooner than expected

If we signed Daka for £2mil and on reasonable wages whilst in the championship and whilst Vardy is no longer the default starter he could have worked out. He's now lost all confidence and consistency, momentum as a striker cannot be understated.

How can anyone give Cooper any praise. He was the one who signed Ayew and Bobby Reid, who were dreadful in the PL and arent even cutting it in the championship. Skipp as well, who has somehow become a fan favourite, is not good enough for a team looking for a promotion push, let alone for £20mil. Just an absolutely diabolical summer.

Dom Ballard a player who was scoring regularly at u18 and u21 level for for Southampton between the ages of 17 and 18 then had his career slowed by an injury. Now he would be an ideal transfer for us after half of a great season in League one. I wonder where Jake Evans and Lorenz Hutchinson would be if we had been integrating them since the start of the season. Might not be at the level of Ballard probably but certainly better options than Ayew.

We would be creaming ourselves if we were signing signing August Priske. Diabate has the same number of goals and is likely cheaper (and therefore available for us to buy) because of his age.

Ayew attacking midfielder back on the menu.

He already was before he went to Chesterfield. This loan just affirms what we already knew.

Why on Earth did he have to be partnered with Eric Dier. Don't France pump out 2-3 world class centrebacks every year? We need Monaco to sign one of those to cover for Faes and make him look competent. Although maybe I should never have hoped that we could sell him in the first place.

He left because there wasnt a pathway to the first team. Who started this "he didn't want to play centre back" rumour, it is ridiculous to suggest that he wouldnt have renewed with us if there was a pathway to the first team of a Premier League team as a back up centre back available to him. He left at the same time as Luke Thomas broke through, so he could have played left back as well.

Debatable, he scored conistently as a pure finisher in one of the best championship sides. Apart from that he walks around and doesnt contribute defensively. Considering how little we create for our strikers, there's a chance he's just a nothing player for us.

Joel Piroe is one of those players that is just dreadful when you watch him. You know a player is rubbish when Leeds fans cant stand him despite being the top scorer in the championship last season.

Coaching a B team playing men's league football is not the same as being an academy coach.

Tyler Morton if we're going for other team's players. Broke Ricardo's leg when he was finally fit again. Around the same time as Klopp was attacking Choudhury for a reckless challenge that injured Salah for two games as well. The hypocrisy of it wound me up.

Alves is the exact kind of player we are missing in the first team. Frustrating that with Ramsey injured we have the best remaining attacking midfielder at the club out on loan. Hopefully Page can step up.

He has scored goals for the u18s where he dribbles multiple players, definitely not just a finisher.

To be fair he looked good in one game i saw him against Mbappe when it was France vs Belgium. It's the sh*t players you need to watch out for with Wout, he thinks theyre beneath him so his brain switches off. Or maybe he just got lucky one game who knows.

I think most fans like James Justin, even if his last season with us was, lets be honest, shocking. We conceded a lot of goals due to his errors. He's better than Thomas, but selling Justin got us a lot of money for one year of his contract and will allow Aluko to get opportunities and develop.

Dewsbury Hall is a key player for Everton and performed for us before that in the PL and Europe. It's not debatable that he's a PL level player. The level of talent that we are developing now is better than ever before. History is only relevant if nothing has changed but clearly our academy has gotten a lot better in recent years. There's a reason this conversation about bringing through young players is happening now rather than 5 or 10 years ago, it's because they are good enough to warrant that conversation.

Bit of a wild take there considering the likes of Page have looked good at championship level at 17 years old. Would need a serious injury for him to not develop into at least a lower PL player.

Considering that is their speciality perhaps things ended sourly.

We have done very well to sell Hermansen when we did. His confidence and ability have left him since that injury.

Im not saying that first team blunders are on the youth coaches, just examples in general of Leicester coaches getting it wrong whilst the consensus opinion among fans is correct. It's just easier to use examples from the first team as I am more familiar with them but I think the logic applies that the coaches dont always make the right decisions and that just because the coaches have decided to hold Hutchinson back a level doesnt mean it's the right choice.

I have seen him play at Seagrave, he has played well at U21 level when given the opportunity. You surely dont take the opinion of our youth coaches at face value when our first team coaches have made blunder after blunder in recent memory such as playing Danny Ward for half a season ahead of Iversen, Faes and Coady getting favoured over Nelson etc. Blunders that the average fan could see a mile away. They also gave Kirsten Otchere a lot of games time at u21 level who has only just found his footing at that level despite looking far more out of depth initially than Hutchinson has done in his limited minutes. There's a reason that scouts from big clubs are going to our u18 games to watch him.

He's not been unbelievable though has he. I think his effort is commendable but ability wide he is about par for where we are as a team, which is midtable championship behind the likes of Wrexham. Rather him than someone like Winks who drags the team down with his attitude, if we want to push for promotion we would need a player who has both application and ability. Looking at Wrexham they have Ben Sheaf and a 34 yr old Matty James, both of which are probably better than Skipp. Considering we were playing Premier league football last season and they were in league 1 it is an indictment on how our standards have fallen so fast as a club.
