Why would billionaire businessmen put someone who has very little experience in charge of negotiating multimillion pound deals?? It's quite laughable some of the stick that I've seen Rudkin get from naive fans that know nothing. There always has to be a fall guy though I suppose

Will we get a CB? *praying*

Will we get a CB? *praying* Don't know specific names etc, only that the club is trying hard and with Hernandez leaving I'm sure a cb is top priority. Fans need to realise though that it's not like football manager where deals get done in a couple of clicks and the whole transfer market (especially January) is similar to buying a house where it's a chain reaction. One transfer isn't done unless the selling club does its own business. We're not the only club struggling to get deals done quick! Keep the faith!

smr Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 like my old man said on the phone tonight, we need someone who can supply vardy and at the moment drinkwater just isn't managing to do it, well none of them are, Ramirez could be exactly what we need.

Like I said previously its completely baffling to me that people actually think our owners who have made billions of pounds in the business world and who will no doubt have some of the best negotiators money can buy, would put someone with zero experience in charge of such an important part of a football club. Internally Rudkin calls the shots but externally they've got other people. Yes people are frustrated which is understandable but certain fans that I've seen on here & especially on twitter need to stop being so naive and have patience

Also should free up Mahrez with teams doubling and tripling up on him at the moment and little ammunition coming from elsewhere.

I'm as frustrated and impatient as anyone but to think people actually believe Rudkin and anyone else at the club just sit in their offices twiddling their thumbs til deadline day is laughable. Surely people aren't that naive??

Surely people aren't that naive?? What's your take on the Adrien Silva situation in the summer, some on here say he may have had a mare and sat on the deal? The Remy helicopter situation didn't help his rep either, although we had a lucky escape on that one... The impression I get is he's a pretty honourable guy, but he has a tendency to focus too much on one or two deals, at the expense of pre-closing back up options, which in turn get snapped up at the end of the window, because he spent too much time chasing the plan A's.

Silva' agent had agreed personal terms but Sporting owner was never going to sell and was just messing around demanding stupid money. Remy's wages were astronomical and we walked away from the deal as he wasn't a must buy. As for the helicopter etc I've got no clue but no doubt it was just twitter talk that people took as gospel! Like I've said, fans need to stop being naive & believing everything they see on twitter.

Wolfox Posted 26 January 2017 Posted 26 January 2017 ^^^^^ There is always a rationale reasonable explanation... we've a tendency to get over excited on here...

TJB-fox Posted 27 January 2017 Posted 27 January 2017 Not that im particularly excited about him signing, a player of his calibre and positioning does point towards a more modern and positive Leicester city line up
LinekersApples Posted 27 January 2017 Posted 27 January 2017 This players calibre is far higher than many think. He will be one of the most creative we've had in many a moon.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 27 January 2017 Posted 27 January 2017 27th January 2017 errm the window being shut is getting closer, any news on this or are we in for the usual disappointment of signing nobody?
