It's £90k a week though, not too far off, not sure if we're paying all of that. Dont know where he got the loan fee from though.

Surely we cant be considering spending £16m on a player who has spent most of this season out injured.

Watch us pull off one of the greatest transfer windows in our history then sign Jan Bednarek and Jack Stephens for £10mil a piece in the summer.

Ben Godrey is awful though. Fair play to McKenna if he pulls some black magic and turns his career around but I'd rather not sign anyone than sign him.

I'm happy that theyve gone on to have good careers. For every minute we gave Bassey we might have persisted with players who fell off the earth like Darnell Johnson.

If Vichai was still alive we would have seen a similar decline. We were still: 1. Giving ridiculous contracts to mediocre players. 2. Overpaying on transfer fees, ie. Ghezzal, Ward were signed under Vichai. 3. Cocking up transfer windows ie. The window after the title win, failing to register Adrien Silva. 4. Getting rid of key staff members brought in under Pearson ie. Sports psychologist I feel sorry for Top because our decline is blamed solely on him but it was actually longstanding issues that we had before his Dad's passing that have caused the mess we are in now. They just came home to roost soon after he took over. Would Vichai have gotten rid of Rudkin by now? Probably. Was he as great an owner as he was made out to be? No, we had our success under KingPower but the underlying mismanagement always meant that it was unsustainable.

No point getting mad at Italian teams for screwing us over. It's our fault for overpaying for players, if we buy at market value then we can sell easier. Italian clubs were looking to pay half of what we paid to Atalanta but we came in with a massive wad of cash to seal the deal. It's no surprise that 6 months later they dont want to play double what they were before after going out of favour here.

Alves starts and Monga first team debut please.

So essentially "we were in league one once". Meanwhile actual historical third tier clubs in Bournemouth, Brighton and Brentford are consolidating themselves in the PL due to their excellent management off the pitch. Now we have to accept the fact that the ownership are spending massive amounts of transfer fees and wages on mediocre players, jeopardizing not just our position as a PL side but the financial future of the club. We need to get into our heads that at this rate of decline we wont even be a yo yo club in a few years time, especially with points deductions looming in the EFL next season.

Augustin Soria (Uruguay) is a South American right back who can also play in midfield that we could potentially sign on the cheap Recreated Ricardo's goal vs man city in the first clip as well.

Would be a ridiculous signing but apparently Aston Villa have bid for him. No chance he comes here if they're seriously pushing for him.

There was nothing in the way that he played that you can criticise so you have to criticise the way he looks. It's getting ridiculous now, a certain section of our fanbase need to lay off the bloke.

Not sure what he can do when we conceded one goal from the right and the other from the middle. Some better defending from his teammates and everyone's praising him for a good performance.

Cooper was terrible. The difference is that we played the relegation sides under him whereas we have only played competent teams under Ruud.

Hopefully that goal gives him some confidence as he desperately needs some.

Kind of have to stick with him now.

Did you watch the game? He was fine today.

Actually a decent game from him to be fair.

Winks has been gash this half. Get him off.

Good cross by Ayew to be fair, fair play to him.

Get in!!!!

Good performance. We did fall asleep at the end of the half again though, Van Nistelrooy needs to work on that.

I thought he was fine when starting. Frustrating? Yes. But his defensive work, ball carrying ability and ability to take players on is irreplaceable in this team. Cooper usually subbed him in too late in the game to make an impact as well, it was only the Southampton game where he got decent minutes.

The 'the manager watches them in training so he must be right' gimmick needs to end. He also watches Danny ward yet played him. Cooper watched El Khannouss and Fatawu yet the fans were right that they needed to start.
