It's going to be 9 points which will put is in 22nd, 3 points behind West Brom & Blackburn. Any less and we got lucky again.

Nathan Dyer - without him getting himself knocked out against Villa that time, we would never have won the league. Huth. Izzet. Jordan James.

Hopefully that's not possible as he's made it clear that isn't what he wants at present, so, if they hang him out to dry and try to use him as a scapegoat, that might actually be the thing that finally has the KP Nutters take pause for thought and turn on Top. 🙏 Every cloud an' all that... 😅

I reckon we're going to bumble on with our fingers crosses and a skeleton crew lead by a self-professed youth team coach who isn't ready to manage a championship relegation scrap and then be all overcome with shock at how we could possibly get relegated with this wage bill/squad. Would be the most King Power & Rudkin thing to do.

Could be exactly what we need to stabilise our 'defence' and develop Nelson (he better not replace him). The big IF is if his body is still up to it and if he can get and stay match fit quick, which hasn't looked likely since his injury. I imagine it will be dumb luck rather than due diligence on our part if he does so fingers crossed we get lucky again 🤞 🙏 🍀

That's not match fit and isn't likely to be for a while as he was frozen out during pre-season as they tried and failed to flog him and has barely played since.

Well, that should cover 1 week of Joe Aribo's loan...

Just another in a long line of bumbling incompetence from those supposedly running the club.

I don't think anyone is attacking the player directly. Bar stating unfavourable facts about him. Think this thread is more of a joke at the seemingly inevitable outcome of this signing.

This would be fair if we could believe any thought has gone into this signing and it was a good faith attempt to improve the squad, but we are way past that now. If you're not a casual observer you know that this is just a lazy, last minute panic signing from two duds in Glover and Rudkin that should have been sacked years ago and are now just trying to look like they are actually doing their jobs.

World sports shittest recruitment team don't know any left backs and Southampton don't have any spare unfortunately.

Imagine a midfield of Hamza and Aribo. There'll be people hanging from the gantry...

Just what we needed - another geriatric that's even slower and less energetic than Soumare to hamper the progress of Page whilst on a Premier League wage. Not a single Southampton fan has a good word to say about him. I'm now convinced Rudkin and Glover only know 2 squads worth of players between them. Those squads being Leicester and Southampton.

Only 18 and not match fit again, but at least this one sounds like he's not total shit.

It's literally like the end of the transfer window comes as a shock to them every time. There must be some form of collective brain damage throughout our executive suite.

Why are we exclusively looking at players that still require a full pre-season to get match fit? Glover and Rudkin are literally dumb and dumber. Thickest, laziest, most unimaginitive recruitment team in world sports.

Jesus wept. At this point we must have a fetish for League One players on Champions League wages.

I just hope this inevitably awful time in charge doesn't derail Kingy's development as our youth and development squad coach. Aluko is a starter going forward. Start the next game like we started the 2nd half, when there's still something to play for, and there is a glimmer of hope that we don't go down. Only a glimmer though. Relegation is now more likely than not.

In-credible!!!!!

Hah! I was deliberately understating to come from their point of view there.

Oh no. I missed that. It's Maddison all over again.

"Look into the eyes, into the eyes, not around the eyes - it's their fault, not mine."

Someone said that?

Nailed on at this point. Possibly even without the points deduction.
