Bit of a damp squid then. One addition unless some late announcements. I believe they just have to register players and can finish off the paper work by 11 something like that.

History of Leicestershire in Images Graham Hulme A postcard view of Market Street, looking from King Street, early 1900s. Joseph Johnson & Co's department store, which later became Fenwick’s, can be seen on the right hand corner of Market Street. Joseph Johnson was born at Husbands Bosworth in 1843. He served an apprenticeship at Adderley's in the Market Place (later Marshall & Snelgrove) and opened his own fancy drapers shop at 26 Market Street in 1869. By 1871 the occupants at no. 26 included three milliners, an apprentice and a shopman as well as Joseph Johnson himself with his family and two domestic servants. By 1875 he had added a ladies outfitters at no. 28a. He and his family had moved out to Albert Villa at Aylestone Park, which made more room for the business in Market Street. Johnson continued to expand his business in Market Street and took over further adjacent premises. His impressive new building at the corner of Market Street and Belvoir Street, shown in the picture, was constructed in 1883-84 and was designed by Isaac Barradale, a leading architect in Leicester at that time. It was one of the architect’s most notable buildings to be erected in the city centre and provides an eye-catching focus at the junction of roads here, designed in a 16th/17th century “Jacobethan” style with a large timbered, overhanging gable towering over the corner elevation. To each side of the large gable are gabled attic dormers which add to the overall turret-like effect at the top. The two storeys below the attic have large stone mullioned and transomed windows with a double-height deep bow window at the corner above the entrance. The entrance itself is distinctive with pointed gothic arches of stone set at right angles at the corner and supported by a thick central pillar of polished red marble. Johnson was aiming for the 'carriage trade' of middle and upper class customers with this prestigious store and the expansion allowed him to employ a large staff - the 1891 census gives 62 female staff living on the premises (their bedrooms were on the top floor). By the beginning of the 20th century the store was described as "drapers, silk mercers, ladies outfitters, milliners, mantle-makers and costumiers". Joseph Johnson died in July 1906, when he was living with his wife and family at 'Forest Edge' in the Forest Fields area of Kirby Muxloe. After his death the business remained in the Johnson family until it was bought by Fenwick's in 1962. Sadly, Fenwick’s closed in 2017. The building seen on the left hand corner of Market Street was also designed by Isaac Barradale and was completed in 1890, two years before the architect died. It was originally built as the Granville Hotel, with shops occupying the ground floor units, for Orson Wright the well-known builder, developer and local entrepreneur who is particularly remembered as the developer of South Wigston and the builder of Leicester’s Grand Hotel in Granby Street. Orson Wright continued to own the hotel for some years but eventually sold it and the Granville subsequently closed in 1911. Afterwards, various businesses occupied the building.

(Photo by Michael Regan/Getty Images) Sassuolo are completing a double deal on deadline day, securing Woyo Coulibaly from Leicester City and Walid Cheddira from Napoli. The Neroverdi have had a difficult start to the Serie A season after winning the Serie B title last term, failing to pick up a single point so far in two rounds against Napoli and Cremonese. They are therefore pushing to reinforce the squad at the disposal of coach Fabio Grosso. Coulibaly and Cheddira set for Sassuolo Sky Sport Italia confirm the deal is done to sign Coulibaly from Leicester City, as the 26-year-old Mali international’s agent worked out the final details this evening. He is not new to Serie A, having already played for Parma from 2021 to January 2025, when he was sold to Leicester City for €3m. However, Coulibaly made only five appearances for the Foxes. Sassuolo had originally been targeting Samuele Birindelli, but talks broke down with Monza. Meanwhile, the Neroverdi have also reportedly done a deal with Napoli to sign Cheddira on loan with an option to buy at the end of the season. He had been close to Udinese, until they managed to get a breakthrough for Nicolò Zaniolo on loan from Galatasaray instead. The summer transfer window in Serie A ends today at 20:00 CET (19:00 BST).

https://www.lcfc.com/pages/en/media-article/julian-carranza-leicester-city-loan-feyenoord Exciting forward Julián Carranza has joined the Leicester City ranks on a season-long loan from Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord, subject to international and league clearance. Argentinian striker Julián Carranza joins Leicester City on loan The 25-year-old signs from Dutch Eredivisie side Feyenoord He has also spent time playing in Major League Soccer in the United States The 25-year-old made 30 appearances for the Rotterdam club in all competitions last term, including seven in the UEFA Champions League, after an impressive four-year spell in Major League Soccer. Speaking on Foxes Hub, he said: “I’m really happy and really excited to be here. I’m thankful for this opportunity so I cannot wait to get started. “When the opportunity came up, of course I didn’t have any single doubt about it. We all know what Leicester City is as a team, and as an institution as well, so when the opportunity came, I was really excited for it. “I have some experience in different places. Of course, this is a new experience as well. Everyone wants to play in England. Every single player wants to play here, so I’m really excited and I can’t wait to get started. “I’ve been watching Leicester for a long time so, as I said, I know the team, I know the institution as well. We all know around the world what this team is. When the opportunity came up, I had no doubts about it.” Carranza was born in Argentina and started his career at Argentine Primera División side Banfield, before making the switch to MLS side Inter Miami in 2019. He spent four years in the MLS with The Herons and Philadelphia Union, racking up a total of 37 goals and 15 assists from 115 regular season matches in the United States, becoming a key part of the side that finished runners-up in the 2022 MLS Cup. Julián’s performances earned him a move to the Eredivisie in the summer of 2024, where his goals in his debut campaign helped Feyenoord to a third-place finish in the league, as well as the knockout phases of the UEFA Champions League. He will now link up with his Leicester City team-mates who are next in action against Oxford United in the Sky Bet Championship on Saturday 13 September (12:30pm kick-off).

I doubt there's a big difference in quality/ability between the top of L1 and the Championship. What he needs is games is a relatively successful team so he can show and master his obvious skills.

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-ace-breaks-silence-10466064 Leicester City ace breaks silence as transfer deadline day departure confirmed The Foxes have announced an exit from the King Power Stadium on transfer deadline day ByJames Pallatt 11:45, 1 SEP 2025 Will Alves has spoken about his transfer deadline day departure from Leicester City. The 20-year-old attacking midfielder has left the King Power Stadium to join League One Huddersfield Town on loan for the season. “I’m buzzing to be here. Really excited to get going with all the team, and I just can’t wait to get started,” he said. “I spoke to the gaffer the other day, and just seeing the way the team are playing, and how well they’re doing, I really want to be a part of it and also help them out myself. “The gaffer was showing me where I fit in the team, and how I can help, and the style of play, which I think really suits me. I feel like it really suits me. “It’s a great stadium, with a great set of fans, and I can’t wait to be playing in front and for them now.” Huddersfield are sixth in League One and boast promotion ambitions this season. Terriers boss Lee Grant said: “Will is a gifted young attacking player with heaps of potential, and his desire to improve, be involved and impact games could not have been more evident in the conversations we’ve enjoyed before finalising this move. “I’m looking forward to working closely with him alongside our coaches to help harness and unlock more of that ability within games. “We are in a very fortunate position to have completed the majority of our transfer activity before the season started, but we have stayed alive to any opportunities we felt would make the group as a whole better rounded, and Will fits that profile exactly. “Able to fulfil multiple positions within the final third, his versatility lends itself to the tactical and positional flexibility we have already shown on multiple occasions this season. “Fit and ready to train with us and begin learning our ideas and principles, we look forward to getting him up to speed as quickly as possible with the fixture list full of challenges in the coming days, weeks and months.”

Woyo Coulibaly joined Leicester City from Parma in the January transfer window. The full-back played only four Premier League games and couldn’t really make an impact in a struggling Foxes side, despite impressing during his spell in Italy. Now, the Mali international may be on his way out of Leicester City. Tuttomercatoweb report the defender could return to Serie A, with Torino and Cremonese considering him as a ‘last minute signing’ on deadline day. So far this season, the 26-year-old is yet to play even once in the Championship and hasn’t been on the bench for the Foxes so far. This suggests that he can leave King Power, if the right offer is made. A move back to Italy would be a good opportunity, after Coulibaly played 88 times for Parma and assisted six times across the top two divisions in the country. The potential to join Cremonese may also be made more attractive by a certain Jamie Vardy arriving at the club.

Couldn't think of what might be expected as LCFC never fail to surprise me not always in a good way.

The "well that was unexpected" deadline day thread to be posted again

This is what happens when you edit it to make it clearer and end up making it worse.

Dreaming

Yeah gives him time to develop, mature and gain confidence in his ability to play at the next level. Some players need time, not to be rushed and could make them better players in the end especially if your end product is to play in the middle of the park controlling the game.

https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/huddersfield-town-in-talks-to-sign-leicester-city-winger-will-alves/ Huddersfield Town are interested in signing versatile Leicester City attacking midfielder Will Alves on loan ahead of Monday’s 7pm deadline, Football League World can exclusively reveal. Despite a 3-1 defeat at Barnsley on Saturday, the Terriers have enjoyed a positive start to life under Lee Grant, as they sit sixth in League One, and they have knocked Leicester and Sunderland out of the League Cup. Grant has overseen major changes at Huddersfield in the summer, with a high turnover of players, but it appears they are still in the market for reinforcements. Huddersfield Town enter talks to sign Leicester City’s Will Alves FLW has been told that Alves is on the Terriers’ radar, with the two clubs discussing a potential loan deal for the attacking midfielder, who has also played out wide for City and Cardiff during last season's loan spell. The 20-year-old is highly-rated by the Foxes after coming through the ranks of the Midlands outfit, but he has struggled to get near Marti Cifuentes’ starting 11 so far this season, with teenager Louis Page ahead of him in the pecking order right now. So far, Alves’ only minutes of the campaign have come against Huddersfield, but he was replaced at half-time as the third tier outfit went on to win on penalties after a 2-2 draw in 90 minutes. If this move does materialise, it will be Alves’ second spell away from Leicester, after spending the second half of the previous season with Cardiff City. Whilst it ultimately ended up in disappointment as the Welsh side were relegated, the youngster did make some positive contributions to the team, as he registered one goal and three assists in 14 appearances. Alves hasn’t kicked on since returning to Leicester though, and it was telling that he once again failed to make the matchday squad as Cifuentes’ men beat Birmingham City on Friday night. A loan move may be seen as ideal for his development, and dropping to League One should ensure that Alves gets the regular game time that his parent club will want over the coming months. If Huddersfield can finalise a move for the England youth international, he will provide Grant with a versatile attacking option, as Alves is capable of playing as a traditional number 10, or down either flank, and he will be tasked with bringing more creativity to the team.

Ok my apologise getting mixed up with Clemence and Summerbee.

Full English roundabout. Hope no one takes offence .

Done - Thank Whoever for copy & paste.

No the one right next to the stadium a long narrow building which i'm sure used to be used for repairs.

Made In Leicester Rob Hubble · The Braunstone Hotel. Narborough Road now a KFC.

Riccy's Back

That's what it means to a player who cares.

As I said before if they're are not going ahead with the expansion any time soon they should refurbish the old electric repair building into an indoor fan zone for the winter. They could kit it out with wall decor of the clubs history. a very long bar, a small stage etc,

Mess just fell asleep

Yeah but McKinley wasn't on his list.
