Sometimes it's not just about performance, it's about what they represent. I dont want to see players like Winks and Vestergaard who dont respect the badge and who are collecting ridiculous wages wear the shirt next season. Also Winks's performance level dropped significantly at the tail end of the championship season and looked out of depth against QPR this season despite us winning comfortably. There's no guarantee he will play with the same form he had at the start of the 23/24 season.

I am just dreading having to see Winks and Vestergaard on the team sheet again.

We paid £7mil for him 2 years ago btw. Ridiculous fee for a £1-2mil player. Genuinely think Rodgers spouting off about lack of leadership and 'young squad' made the people running us lose their heads and forget about everything else.

He was probably thinking of Essex

It's been mentioned but I have no idea if he does.

Louie barry will be too expensive for what he is. Just give Jake Evans a chance instead. Same quality of player minus the lower league loans but at least he's already our player!

There's almost always a sell on clause. Not sure if it's possible when there's a release clause involved though.

Him and Evan Ferguson. The kind of players where people assume they are still the same as when they were in their purple patches but are currently absolute dogmuck.

The fact that all but 3 of those are players we currently have at the club as well... It makes me shiver thinking about it.

Ings Ayew Reid Ndidi Skipp Mcateer Kristiansen Keane Coady Justin Begovic Sean Dyches dream team for the 25/26 championship season!

Some people are sick of our owner twaddling around not getting rid of Van Nistelrooy. I'm sick of the EFL not giving us a transfer ban already!

I'm not guaranteeing that Ivanovic never becomes anything better than what he is now. He could spend a year with us and improve a level. For now 12 goals in the championship is what we should be targeting for a backup striker with potential, not a dream signing. At this point Ivanovic isn't anything particularly special.

What a sad state we are in as a club where a striker with 12 championship goals last season is considered 'the dream'

To be honest we still probably go up again with Ruud in place. We stomped a full strength QPR in the FA cup last season who gave us a hard time last time we were in the championship with Maresca. If we cant get someone good then it's probably best to not start a manager merry go round.

Vardy says he hasn't had any clubs contact him. I was hoping that a la liga club like Valencia or Real Betis would go for him, considering they've managed to make a player out of ayoze perez over there.

We already have bench options for striker in Daka, Evans and Ayew (and sadly Greenwood isn't an upgrade on any of them). If we sign a striker it needs to be a starter, no more sub par 'options off the bench'!

On the first day of Christmas, Kingpower gave to me A manager out of his league On the second day of Christmas, Kingpower gave to me Two holidaying executives, and a manager out of his league On the third day of Christmas, Kingpower gave to me Three PSR breaches, two holidaying executives, and a manager out of his league On the fourth day of Christmas, Kingpower gave to me Four birthday wishes, three PSR breaches, two holidaying executives, and a manager out of his league On the fifth day of Christmas, Kingpower gave to me Five polo matches, four birthday wishes, three PSR breaches, two holidaying executives, and a manager out of his league etc.

We should be on our hands and knees for the manager who oversaw the worst decline in our history!

Would rather extend Danny Ward than have Morton play for us.

Everything you've just described: Ayew up front, Mcateer and Fatawu "locking down" the wings, Skipp or Ndidi in midfield just sounds gross.

Watch us sell Mads, bring in a new number one that isn't better than Stolarczyk and barely play Stolarczyk over the new guy. Only for Stolarczyk to leave on a free in a few years time.

Rutter had a similar level season to the one he just had with Brighton the year before he joined Leeds with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. There's little evidence that he's a better player than he was 3 years ago, the championship is only good for developing players who arent already used to a higher level.

Summerville tore up the championship then went missing for a whole season. Players learn more in more difficult environment, if anything dropping a level below results in players stagnating.

Same goes for you. El Khannous clearly has quality and is a Premier League level player. There's not much you can do individually when the rest of your team are miles off it.

£10mil for Wout Faes would be ridiculous business from us and very poor for whoever is buying. We will be lucky to break even.
