Does seem a bit odd we've announced Bobby before Abdul. Probably nothing in that though.

But there's only one sentence... 🤔🤔🤔

He's not apparently, no.

It's insane to me that they ever even paid £40m for him. No wonder the market is inflated.

That statement and video from him have done me. Didn't think it would hurt this much, but it really does. Good luck, Kiki. Always one of our own. Hope we let him know that on his return to Filbert Way. 💙🦊 Also: **** the board, and **** PSR. Should never have had to do this.

Spot on. Plus, as much as I love Fatawu and Mavididi, there's no guarantee they step up immediately to the level of the Premier League. I think they will, but Sosa provides both competition, and another player to work with should one of our current wingers not find form in the PL. I mean ideally they all blitz the league and it's hard to choose from them, but you know 😝.

He's proved us wrong before, and we were all extremely pleased to be so. Fingers crossed for him he does really well. Just not against us, eh? 😉

Yup, hoping he'll thrive under Cooper! He's noted to put the power with and onus on the players to get the best out of their qualities. With a bit of guidance, I reckon Fatawu could be some force this year.

Night caps, presumably? 👀

I'd love this. Was gutted he left. Felt like he was on the cusp of truly clicking, and by all accounts didn't really want to leave us in the first place. Mavididi, Barnes, Fatawu and Alves as winger options? Yes please.

This is wild. I really like KDH, and he clearly loves the club...but this has another Drinkwater written all over it. I don't think it's even a question of if he could step up—I just don't think he'd get played enough at this point in his career.

I like Ronnie Edwards, but signing him might block Ben Nelson playing for us/his development. I don't mind missing out on him if it means we play Nelson more.

Do you have an example of said rumours? A link or tweet, mayhaps?

We'll just insist on nicknaming him Theatesen. No bother.

I mean, our comms do have previous for being timed neatly for other things to provide distractions (see: Ticket prices announced the other day, while reporters had clearly been briefed on Potter being close) 😅 That said, I do agree with you. I don't think you can "mask" the signing of a new first team manager. Then again, this is Leicester City, so you never really know if we'd try such nonsense.

Pretty underwhelmed by Cooper, and don't really understand how the board can claim they have a set vision, then recruit two wildly different managers. I am hoping Cooper's record with youth, and the way he tried to play at Swansea, are the approaches he'll bring. However, all of that was a while ago now, and I worry we're clutching at straws to find hope in this appointment at the moment.

I think he's still a little unproven in some clubs' eyes. By all accounts I think his Reims team fell apart a bit in the last 14 games, and they parted ways as a result?

He's so good that he's retroactively ended the guy's career.

Love this

Think it was mentioned that Potter is no longer with him, perhaps? Connection is still there though of course.

You joke, but honestly, seeing him and Braybrooke playing alongside the first team squad is the main reason I'm excited for pre-season to start.

Not that surprising really. I think it's fair to say Maresca changed his thinking about the game (Ricky has said as much) and potentially prolonged his career through inverting him into midfield. Just him so far though who has said anything, I think!

I was just going to ask this. Players have posted about other things, but no-one has acknowledged Maresca leaving really. Ricky P, Coady and Stolarczyk have liked the club announcement of it on Instagram, but that's it as far as I can see.

Lots of EPL interest in him I guess.
