Everybody knew it was a one off but we're still in Europe and we've still got enough money to fork out some hefty wages. Totally agree. If we pull off another top half finish (not looking likely) then we'll become more established. I also think we were pretty selective in signings over the summer as to not break up the team. Maybe didn't go for it enough in hindsight. Especially depth for CB (even FIFA tells you to look for a CB when you start as Leicester in career mode FFS!)

Unlike Chelsea who had one bad season, we only had one good season. We were shit before the title and we are shit since it. Can't see anyone joining us unless we bribe them with massive wages and we all know how that went with a certain number 9, definitely earning that 100k a week. I agree that players capable of European football will be put off because it ain't going to happen (unless we win the Champions League or FA Cup!). But it wouldn't be the prospect of relegation that would put people off. And I don't reckon it would put off players not expecting immediate European football, but capable of mid-table football. They'd think we had a good chance of avoiding relegation - and of remaining in the Premier League, a massive enticement for all but the very top players who expect European football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5waller5 Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Some players may see it as a positive that we're near the bottom ..... If a player gets a decent signing on bonus and a relegation clause - if we get relegated they get another signing on fee within 6 months!!!

Spudulike Posted 19 January 2017 Share Posted 19 January 2017 Not making much of a dent in that supposed £30m transfer kitty. If the figures are to be believed then we have a net spend of about £3m so far in this window. Anyone know what our net spend for this season is ?? Not that massive, I should think, for a club that's 20th on the latest rich list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chapero82 Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 I'm going to go with none so if we do it's a bonus if we don't then I won't be disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 20 January 2017 Share Posted 20 January 2017 It has occurred to me that, for this window two CB's and an CAM would be ok, with the CB position being a priority. Morgan, Huth, (new CB), (new CB) - that would give us two central defensive partnerships. However, in the summer, with Wasilewski likely to move on, and possibly Benalouane, would four centre backs be enough? I think in the summer we're going to be looking at needing to get another two as replacements, (assuming we get two CB's in this transfer window). I'm sceptical as to whether we will get two CB's in this window to be honest though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lifted*fox Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 We will make zero ****ing signings. We've been absolutely pathetic regarding transfers since winning the PL - completely failing to capitalise on our position and extra stature. We could have ridden the wave and bought in some decent players but instead we've gone backwards and started playing absolutely ROTTEN football. I can't imagine any half decent, creative player looking at the shite we've been playing so far this season and thinking 'ooh, I'd love to go there and show off what I can do'. ****ing jokes - there really isn't any other way of looking at it.

Bayfox Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 We couldnt get decent business done in the summer. When we had just won a title, had champions league football to offer and were handing out 100k a week contracts. We need experienced premier league quality and now we are in a relegation battle and could well have just 2 cl games left, no european football to offer next season as ir stands. So yes without offering about 200k a week i'd suggest it has a impact on our chances to do decent business and those coming for money are not the characters we need and will all want the option to leave in the summer.

Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 I reckon they'll be one more signing, it'll be a centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfu Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 Two signings are a necessity; either two centre backs, or a centre back and a right back. If for god-knows-what-reason we don't sign a CB we can take solace in the fact that Amartey and Ndidi can cover there, but our depth in defence is very lacking. An extra attacking player would be welcome too, but our biggest priority is sorting out our defence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecretPro Posted 21 January 2017 Share Posted 21 January 2017 None. Recently awful with securing the players we really want. Also, this window is gash. Absolutely the most boring, uninspiring window in years and to be honest it's a window we could really do with using! I fully expect us to do nothing until deadline day at which point we **** it all up and get nobody having offloaded 3 or 4 that we will realise three weeks after we should have kept because we are inept at getting the signatures in.
