  1. Still scored 2 goals in his time here. Which, according to Wiki, means he managed to match what Ayew managed when he was in the Championship with Villa. Yunus also had a pretty good game against Bournemouth in the cup, so there's a slim chance that if he played a game or 2 against Prem teams this season he might manage to scuff 1 goal in. Which would be enough to match the achievements of Jordan Ayew, who has achieved a one goal prem season on 3 seperate occasions. EDIT: A big part of the reason he couldn't get a game was because we were trying to avoid triggering the obligation to sign him, because we are right up against the wall financially with PSR problems. Which is another reason why we shouldn't be spending 8 million chuffing pounds on a 33 year old striker with awful stats and no resale value.
  2. Based on Wikipedia Goals per Appearance on their LCFC runs vs Ayew at Palace: Shinji = 0.1386 Goals per game Albrighton = 0.0607 goals per game Tete = 0.07 Goals per Game Ayew at Palace = 0.108 Goals per Game - somewhat skewed by a 9 goal season at the beginning of his time there. Look at his stats since 2020/21 season, you get: Ayew 20/21 to now: 0.08 Goals per Game So Ayew is considerably worse than Shinji, barely better than Albrighton (who never had the chance to play as a Striker like Ayew did), about the same as Tete, and, to put it all together, he costs more than all 3 of them combined AND all 3 of them came to Leicester in their 20s, and weren't 33 years old signing a (probable) 3 year deal with zero resale value. I've got no problem with BDCR on a free, sure, hard working, free transfer, no problem. Up to 8 million on a 33 year old is stupid though. We could have had Yunus for less than that, and if the only pros are occasional goal and hard work, he did do both of those things, and would have had some resale value. Could have given him a 4 year deal, so would have been less of a hit on the amortisation as well.
  3. 14 appearances for Tete and 1 goal - that's a strike rate about what Jordan Ayew manages in a "good" season
  4. izzett and Elliott both scored goals in the promotion season that was the first at the KP, so if some of those goals were at home they count too. Looking at the History section, I think there's a fair chance Scowcroft is on there too. Tricky Trev got one goal in his first season, so if that was a Filbo goal he's an outside bet too.
  5. Having just finished listening to the latest Who Are You - I'd say that wasn't the equivalent of the Nugent England goal - I felt it was a bit more like this
  6. Interestingly, Spurs fans at the game were chanting about hating Sol Campbell. Must have left them over 20 years ago and they haven't let that go
  7. I think that's just Chris Kavanagh doing his usual Chris Kavanagh things.
  8. Greek stiker Fotis I-a-no-needthiskindoftrouble closing in on deal to complete the acquisition of one shitty stick. Said to be delighted with the purchase, and the ability it will grant him to not touch Leicester City with it. Shitty stick is in high demand though, and top players over Europe are all keen to make a deal for it, in the hopes of keeping Jon Rudkin as far away as humanly possible.
  9. Winning scorer for Southampton has a surname that sounds like the noise your Da makes when sneezing.
  10. So compared to last season, we've lost KDH, Praet, Casadei, Yunus and Nacho from the attacking and midfield positions. Then gained Buenonotte and BDCR instead. Plus, I guess, a want away Bouba Soumare back into the squad from a numbers perspective, at least up until we get mugged off with a loan with option offer for him from an Italian club later. Any chance we do something about this anytime soon? We'll struggle to fill a bench at this rate. No need to worry though, still 15 days left. ... No need to worry, still 14 days left and they wouldn't have made the Spurs game anyway ... No need to worry, we were always going to lose heavily to Spurs anyway, maybe this will encourage the board to get some players in ... No need to worry, still a week to go ... No need to worry, Fulham is always a tricky place to go, form will pick up soon ... No need to worry, just because Cannon took a blow in the back, I'm sure he'll run that off soon ... No need to worry, just because we have no fit strikers for several weeks, we'll get one in late in the window, once other clubs do some business to get things moving ... No need to worry, still a few hours of the window left ... No need to worry, I bet we had a deal sheet in as the deadline passed ... No need to worry, summer window is always difficult to do transfers in. I'm sure we'll re-inforce in January if needed, gives Rudkin several months to get a headstart on negotiating some deals ...
  11. If bissouma wanted a laugh he should have just watched the highlights of us Vs Lens. Could have pissed himself laughing with no chemical assistance required at all, then enjoyed a leisurely stroll around the KP in midfield on Monday while we self destruct in front of Spurs.
  12. Even worse, someone misheard one of Leverkusen's German staff talking about it. Q: Is the deal close? What percentage are we talking complete? A: Nein! 0.2 percent at best.
  13. They do hold their value, but some games are more so than others. Smash bros and majora's mask are probably the most expensive big releases, stuff like lylat wars, wave race etc is the cheaper end. Old football games tend to be the cheapest third party games. If you are after just one cart, and don't mind getting loose carts, then cex is probably the cheapest option - you can at least check the stock in local branches on the website, and the prices are standard, so if a local cex doesn't have what you want, you can at least see how much they charge elsewhere so you don't end up overpaying. eBay tends to be more (and on N64 carts you are likely to end up paying a couple of quid postage too) - use pricecharting.com to get a feeling for how much stuff normally sells for (just make sure to click on the PAL version when searching) @CountesthorpeFox1 had a quick look on CEX website - Gallowtree gate store has loose Goldeneye for £6. Looks like they have Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 in stock as well atm. https://uk.webuy.com/search?productLineId=18&productLineName=Retro+Gaming&stores=Leicester+Gallowtree+Gate&categoryFriendlyName=Nintendo+64+Software
  14. Definitely one of the most fun shops to visit in town. I came across it the first time whilst doing desperate Christmas shopping to find a present for my Mum. An exciting find but a very unnecessary distraction from the aim of the trip at the time though
  15. We do have a teammate's sister in the government though, so maybe he should talk to BDCR
  16. You should take a look at Super Game Shack in Silver Arcade next time you are in town shopping, they have a good selection of N64 games there. There's also the various branches of CEX in Leicester, 2 in town and 1 in Beaumont Leys - but they have a smaller selection. Best bet there is to go on the cex website, search the retro gaming section and use the filters to select the stores and see what they have in stock, as quite often with cex they have plenty of retro stuff that is hidden away in the back shelves and not on display where you can spot it. If you end up browsing eBay as well, might be worth having a gander at price charting.com, they collate info based on completed eBay sales, so you can get an idea of what the average price stuff sells at is, so you have a reasonable idea how far to go when you are bidding on stuff. Good luck on your game hunting!
  17. When Vardy was young we never needed anyone He was scoring goals for fun Those days seem gone... To get Hlozek on loan Jon thinks of all the agents he knows But when he picks up the telephone Nobody's home... JORDAN AYEEEEW DON'T WANNA SIGN JORDAN AYEEEEEW FOR A MILLION OR 4
  18. Yet we still haven't put a bid in for Sammy Smoddish
  19. I had to visit London with work last week, and getting about on the trains and tube is an absolute doddle. Compare and contrast with a few weeks prior, returning to Leicester train station and thought about getting a bus home to the West End/Braunstone town area. Would have needed 2 buses, it was actually quicker to just bloody walk a couple of miles home. Our bus routes are useless, fine if you want to go into the city centre once in a blue moon to look at where M and S used to be. If you want to get to any of : Train station, football club, rugby club, royal infirmary, university of Leicester, de montfort hall or anything involving travel from the east to the west sides of the city they are no help whatsoever.
  20. EEwaan is a Greek Man He wears a Greek man's hat He could have signed for Roma but didn't fancy that He scored goals with his left foot He scored goals with his right But he won't score goals at Leicester 'Cos our midfields full of shite.
  21. Should have put it on only fans, made some money from selling it to masochists.
  22. Think there's a fair chance we not only break Derbys record, but even become the first team to finish a prem season on negative points.
  23. Last pre season showed plenty of signs of the players being well prepared, tactically organised and well coached. This pre season there is none of that. The shape is awful, tactics clearly not working and players don't look fit or comfortable with what they've been sent out there to do. Not seeing any signs of cooper and his team being capable of properly coaching and preparing a team at all so far.
