Neal will receive one month’s worth of pizza for every 7.5 mins he keeps a clean sheet. This calls for all-out attack to save the poor lad's career. + = 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Total expenditure over 3 seasons in Europe. For reference: What Ham £163m West Brom £118m Stoke £114m Bournemouth £117 Burnley £95m Brighton £62m Huddersfield £44m Saints £151m - But have actually turned a £62m profit whilst doing so as they've sold so many players for big money. Only Watford and Newcastle on £193m are £192 are even close to us. In terms of bang for your buck Huddersfield ands Burnley are currently far better value and Saints have bought and sold brilliantly. For all that money we've spent we've still got a £1m keeper, £2m right back, £1m Centre back, Free left back, Free left winger, 400k right winger and £1m striker playing most games. The money we've spent has been mostly wasted, I'm not sure how anyone can even argue against that, we're still relying on half a team signed ages ago. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you're wrong. Buying one player for £1m and selling them for £100m, doesn't mean your recruitment has been a success because you turned a profit, if you also spent £98m on unmitigated disasters. But even if you want to play that game we're 18th in the whole of Europe rather than 16th. on net spend. Our recruitment was brilliant, but of that £200m spent how many have been anything close to being a success? We've wasted a shocking amount of money, most of our best signings were for a pittance from years ago. Kasper, DD, Vardy, Mahrez. That's not Rudkins fault, I doubt he picks the players. But the position he's in, he has to take the can if you're heading things up I'm afraid. Mucking up the Silva transfer, piles of cash wasted, release clauses (that are very rare in this country), he gets on board and suddenly they are coming out of our ears... and we now hear we won't deal include release clauses again (wonder why, because it was a cock up). People have every right to question him and not be happy with how things have gone since the title win. Do they go over the top, yes. But please lets not act like it's a figment of people's imaginations. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legend_in_blue Posted 5 January 2018 Share Posted 5 January 2018 Just did a referee check for tomorrow's game. Simon Hooper. From the limited information to go on, he appears to be the Championship equivalent of Bobby Madley. I'm not overly impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree. The argument seems to be about how much we have wasted. E.g.. for kante we got slimani and Benny. For drinkwater, we got Silva (he looked good yes but we'vehad about 10 mins) For what we could have ended up with for vardy we got musa and a couple of youth teamers. Granted the reason we are still playing with such cheap players is because they are now worth far more than the players we bought but I don' think the question of whether we've spunked a shitload up the wall is really in question is it? Our total spend on players that actually worked out is minimal and net spend is a shitload of profit that has been royally wasted. I'm as happy as anyone with the first team but squad depth lacks a lot of quality and often the bench cost about the same as the 11 on the pitch.

foxfanazer Posted 6 January 2018 Share Posted 6 January 2018 Really looking forward to this one now. Ok we’re on a hiding to nothing but feels like the pressures off and we get a chance to see a few different players perform whilst resting key players after a hectic schedule. Want a bit of rotation but really would love a good FA cup run 3-1 City Slim Iheanacho King 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrifox Posted 6 January 2018 Share Posted 6 January 2018 Nothing about the build up to this inspires confidence ( injuries to key players , small ground, possibly dodgy playing surface , untried formation ) it would be so Leicestery to feck this up but hoping we can take it to a replay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
