Koke Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 I miss Nigel Pearson's thorough recruitment. Even short term deals like Nobby Solano did a valuable job for us.

But it is very difficult to build a team if your standout player leaves after a year - It can cause upheaval and make them hard to replace!
Kitchandro Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 21 minutes ago, Babylon said: Because we'd just won the league and nobody expected us to drop off quite so badly. People wanted quality in the summer through some warped belief we could become a top club, not to avoid relegation... nobody thought we'd be in this mess. Well obviously that was a mistake.

Babylon Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Ranieri's nonsense about Benalouane now "understanding the English game better" is such nonsense. He's been here 18 months and hardly played... he's not suddenly going to be ready. Absolutely screams of "doubt we're getting anyone else in, so I'd best make out Benny is now great and ready to step in".

Laying the foundations for explanations as to why he's happy if we are not able to reach agreements and complete a deal for a defender.

I read it like that too. could be a raft of posts come Wednesday morning about why we aren't spending any money. people can post that the club were trying but the facts are the facts. if no one of note arrives then you have to wonder a little ...........

He's not exactly filling me with the greatest of confidence with these backwards statements.

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 I reckon their still trying to recruit, but covering their back with Benny as the so called contingency. Bloody woeful planning.

We're not signing anyone, it was as clear as day.
lee7 Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Ranieri is setting himself up for a massive fall. Everyone from fans to pundits and ex players all say that we desperately need new defenders. If we fail to sign any yet continue to make sloppy errors at the back then he'll be gone sooner rather than later.
foxes21 Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 would anyone choose to go with what we have and pray we survive. Then in the summer chuck a load of money at Keane/Gibson, or both?

I'm HOPING its a little bit of kidology so that selling clubs dont think they can hold us to ransom. However i feel like i might be giving Ranieri too much credit there...

It could also be a ploy to the teams we are trying to buy from to make us look less desperate. A shit ploy but still, could imagine good old John thinking this will work.

Trust me. If we don't sign a defender, Rudkin should genuinley be sacked for gross misconduct - how can a premier league team (let alone defending champions) have 4 CB on their books, 3 of which are over the age of 32 and one hasn't played in 18 months. One injury and we are ****ed - as if you could run a business like this and get away with it. What cvnt agreed to sell Hernandez without first bringing in a replacement, its beyond shocking,
roblcfc84 Posted 30 January 2017 Posted 30 January 2017 Slightly concerned - we simply don't have enough cover. Benny must feel really special after those comments - all that no playing has made you better than when you joined

I do actually think we'll sign somebody Ric and in the meantime you should have a valium or something buddy - I'm worried you're going to have a stroke!
