Lesta Legend

Most of our best signings don’t go under the radar usually as the selling club want as many other clubs to know to try force up price etc. The signings like Ayoze Perez that came under the radar were overpriced and poor signings. However it should be apparent to anyone after how many windows that turn out to be horrendous for us (when did we last have a good one) the signs are clearly there that we’ve yet again not planned this very well and given ourselves too much to do now in the remaining 14 days. We all hope JR will pull something out of his backside and give Ruud a fighting chance of surviving but rather than kidding ourselves (again) we all know it’s just his own head he’ll pull out.

Although this is Nixon, i'd hope this is true and gets accepted.

Same system that has always left Vardy isolated. And yes at 38 he isn’t the player that is scoring on the scraps he gets. A different formation would be a start five at the back to at least attempt to stop the goals. Thats on the manager. Having said that the players Cooper brought in / the club sanctioned were not good enough. Yet again. We’ve one or two shining lights but by en large we have an average team who shy away from a fight.

And if we get relegated we’re likely under an embargo.

The difference is we have active suitors for Cannon.

When a player like Monga whose ability is clear to anyone, we as a club can’t simply leave them in the u21’s. If this is true, there just seems no way to compete whatsoever and that’s with a state of the art training ground.

Since they rolled that line out they’ve made more stupid baffling decisions.

Percy says we’re not expected to spend big and only expect to bring cheap full backs in. Club still upset we’re being punished for challenging big six, the club need to start taking ownership of the utter incompetence, only when they start admitting that will we have any chance of moving forward.

We’ll be relying on our youth for sure as our hands will be tied with an Embargo.

Similar player, Barnes 👀

Please don’t laugh we all no what’s coming 😭

I don’t think there is any strategy we’re actively employing now. Perhaps because of a Brexit taking away the freedom of movement? it’s pretty pointless tbh, not that i agree with signing this player for the sake of it but there doesn’t seem to be any usefulness to us as a club. Maybe they don’t want to be a feeder club to a poorly run yo yo club.

It makes you sick that way of playing, it clearly works, when you’re competing against the big spenders you can’t buy a team that can out play with success in long term. Counter attacking at pace and you don’t need the most expensive technical players that cost the earth.

I would back up the fact that they don’t really know a lot, it’s an account of conjecture. But it’s pretty obvious from Leicester’s perspective the PSR issue isn’t over.

And the only one’s truly to blame, ourselves.

A pointless last minute signing which we’re now lumbered with, brilliant foresight from those responsible for our transfer policy. 🤣 There is no joined up thinking whatsoever.

The fact the actual Palace manager has recently spoke about Edouard in not so glowing terms basically means Palace aren’t recalling him. I’d imagine we would have to pay them money to even consider doing so. This scenario epitomises the incompetence of how we deal with transfers.

If your strategy is to leave it to the last week / day to get a cheaper deal then you’ve already made a mistake You can with good planning and communication with the selling club sign players at anytime. Lots of clubs do it but expect to pay more. It’s the same in the summer window but it has everything to do with the people responsible for the recruitment and we’re led to believe JR has been away. It’s been the same repeated process for many years now and it’s clear not working.

Sunderland have since their current ownership took the reins really have changed their approach, to recruitment especially, stats based targeting young players on the up. They’ve been doing very well and making a fortune while still retaining a competitive squad. Everything we’re not and we’re everything they were a few years ago.

Puel certainly wasn’t the brains behind the stats based recruitment that led to huge success, that was his predecessors. Yes since Puel we then allowed managers to go away from that (Remember diabatè) and it’s generally been shite. And that’s why it is the on hierarchy, they became complacent and as good staff left, incompetent and unaccountable.

Think you’re right, there are too many on here that have a complete melt down when anything remotely negative happens. You’re also right regards to JJ. One everyone will agree with is the fact at present JJ shouldn’t be anywhere near the 1st team. For both the team’s survival and probably his long term mental health.

Sounds like James Justin’s Dutch cousin.

Lots posted tonight just highlighting his direct culpability, it is horrendous and if nothing changes he will relegate us. For balance he isn’t the only problem and there is a lot long with our club full stop. If a RB isn’t our number one target RVN doesn’t stand a chance. Yes change the system at a push use Hamza (if he’s the answer we’re fxked) but the stats are terrible reading and it’s madness to keep doing the same thing.

It’s inexcusable to not start Facundo over Ayew.
