Unhappy Fox?

Can only assume the fee was some kind of creative accounting, balanced against the Maddison transfer. Because if not, heads should roll. (They won't, I know!)

Work rate and physicality not up to L2

The entrenched dislike of Faes from some reminds me of the super-weird anti-Pearson contingent! Anyway, he'll be starting most games unless he gets sold. No world-beater, but our best option.

This, along with system that plays to his strengths. Winks would've done much better in the PL if Enzo had remained in charge - as would our team as a whole

Haha he's probably refreshing this page as I type

In what way?

Don't think he's "uncut" as such, just on a very steep and encouraging development curve. I've seen him dominate some very strong defenders in League One. Clearly he can finish, but for me his key attributes are power, hold up play and the intelligence to use his strength to good effect. IMO a perfect focal point for Mav and Fats to play off; Bilal also if still around. *Definitely* worth a punt... and it's not even a particularly big punt at that. Big YES from me haha

Honestly, this kind of thing washes over me. If we cannot mobilise against KP based on many, many more significant issues, why bother about this. That said, I would love to see what level of contortion the Happy Clappers could manage to justify why this is in fact absolutely fine-and-dandy!

Weird

Kone would be a perfect focal point for these three

Rudkin is still here

Mahrez and prime Lloyd Dyer on the wings

On board with this. Strong, a handful. Potential to keep improving. Immediately improves our team

Preach. And to be clear, I'd never dream of defending Vesty, Kristiansen, Soumare, BDCR, Ayew, Daka, Skipp and so many more as they are so sh1t they are not worth the effort.

Agree!

Hey, eventually we'll cycle through to another manager who doesn't pick Wout as first choice out of the available options. We'd all agree it'd be best if they were non-stupid and exceptionally successful! In that event, your bias will be confirmed ;-)

Agree Craig. It is truly amazing that so many of our supporters cannot make an objective assessment of a player vs other options, and are triggered by their body language!

Yes, all bar Enzo were crap, but that doesn't explain why they all selected Wout! *All of our professional football managers* disagree with you hardcore anti-Wouts!

OnlyOneCity - nobody is criticising anyone for not booing. There *is* a level of criticism of "supporters" who turn up, contribute *nothing at all* by way of support during a game, then *mindlessly applaud* the team off the pitch regardless of the performance on show. Absolute shells of fans. And the ones who mindlessly support our King Power owners regardless of what they do at our club are just plain weird. "Happy clappers" works fine as shorthand for the above.

No, it's an accurate description of folks who mindlessly applaud ineptitude and failure - **mindlessly applaud**

And when he starts for Marti...? Or if (heaven forbid!) someone pays a surprisingly decent fee for Faes?! Look, I'm not looking to overstate the quality of a player who is at best "decent", just giving an objective assessment. I think some of you didn't like his attitude from early days, and confirmation bias has been at play from that point onwards.

If managers were in the frame, Brendan wins this hands down

Lenny - good guy, massively rated him. Should not be discussed in this thread!

Yeah, but we all kind of knew he was good! And he was obviously a nice chap from day one! No issue supporting Wes Alan Rodgers on the other hand would definitely qualify, but never rated him haha
