On the flip side, Callum Doyle wasn't an LB, Ricky had never played as a 6 and Ndidi wasn't an 8. They all did well in their positions and didn't run off to a farmer's league to stat pad.

Even though I have burning hatred for this guy, how has he gone from first choice for England, winning the UCL to Palace and now Cov? That's an insane spiral in less than two years.

Great. The Burkinians or Fasians whatever they're called can do battle with Hamza's mob on the socials. Even Marti's forgotten him.

Is this the latest example of Romano losing his touch?

I'm not convinced they were ever interested. If you want a player the deal will happen pretty quickly. It's been weeks of "negotiations" but it's not like a middle east peace deal. One side makes an offer, the other rejects/accepts. That sort of thing - with modern comms - should take minutes or maybe hours. All this transfer gossip column rubbish about preparing bids and lining up an offer is just word salad.

Rodgers said the other day he's not leaving. Joked about the stress being too much last time. The big rumour is Postecoglu because he's worked for him before. VK defensive positioning is so bad he'd be right at home in an Ange set up.

Another thing referenced by the Foxes Trust. If nothing else you'd think they'd wany to take the attention away from the men's team and focus on a team in the top flight.

Let's not go OTT on any praise. His decisions and advice have led us here in the first place.

8m +2m add ons

100%, it's a sh!tshow. Should have let the Super League 6 sail off into the sunset IMO. But my point with those other clubs has been sustainability. It was great to be in the top 4 with Rodgers but our model of sell one big name a year kept us sustainable and challenging. Part of the reason why the promoted clubs now go straight back down has been those clubs being stable and well-run. If we kept our wages under control we didn't need UCL to stay in the black. And no-one was moaning about only being 8th. In reality we'd have been happy in mid table but the hierarchy wanted more and fast.

Roger's lost the plot. It hasn't affected the Brighton model, hasn't stopped Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth being in the mix, and most recently didnt stop Palace picking up silverware. The difference is those clubs didn't gamble their 10 years of progress away on chasing immediate success. There are fans of this club that will never believe the hierarchy can do anything wrong. Top could be banging Roger's wife and it would have been because Covid ravaged the duty free business.

******g hell, no wonder Nuno wants showdown talks!

Which is no issue, they've had virtually no-one of any significance in and have an extra competition to navigate. Glasner said the other day their transfer business has frustrated him. Maybe if Guehi ends up at Liverpool, they'll need Faes too.

It's not okay, it was a loophole and they exploited it. We're throwing stones in glass houses at this point.

These transfer rumour mongers are just full of s***. There's nothing new to report, he has no further info so he starts cooking up stories of tension. They use phrases like "lining up a bid" and "monitoring the situation" that mean absolutely nothing and when the story goes cold they go into Jackanory overdrive. For all their chat and contacts, none of them knew Arsenal were hijacking Eze, there was no talk of monitoring situations. It'll be the same here.

I'd keep Hamza at RB and use Ricky in the 6 or 8 role. Bossed it 2 seasons ago, got a full season out of him and has far more creativity than Soumare or Skipp. As for Justin, we can't moan about not getting fees for 240m in talent then not look to cash in with his final season.

......With a record points tally, money to spend and momentum. They also have an actual striker. Seeing the current state we're in, they may not have to be "that good".

First goal for Kone Cov 7 QPR 1.....the fightback is on!

😁

Need a bright orange away kit so these players can make their traffic cone impressions more realistic

He looks like a kid nervous on his debut who needs help from experienced players around him showing for the ball. Sadly we have Soumare and Skipp.

Despite the dog thing his attitude's far better than Faes.

Controlling the pace tbf. They're a direct team trying to get forward at speed.

It's just as telling about our recruitment team recently

If we'd got 4m for him we were robbing them so this is like selling him 3 times over. Looking through this thread and the socials its today that a lot of footsoldiers have started to doubt their King Power generals.
