See Ndidi and Lookman on the scoresheet for Nigeria in the AFCON and Lookman with two further assists in their 3-2 win. 

Has there been a club that has released so many players for relatively little in return, who have gone on to much better success since?  Barnes, Tielemans, Ademola, Wilf, Cengiz Under, the GOAT even Edouard ffs whereas the club itself and its staff has withered and deteriorated like a bowl of rotting fruit.

How do people rate Waghorns career here out of 10?

 

 

Signed for £3m on the back of scoring 12 times in 28 starts in his loan spell prior to signing 

He definitely improved us when we were struggling and he had a decent eye for goal. If we had a few players with half of his spirit we’d be better off than now. 7 for me.

Some of those were on loan and there’s no guarantee that we could have signed them if we’d wanted to ( we think we could have but players can effectively decline a move ).

8 for his loan, 4 for permanent so 6 overall.

Mental to say that I'd unironically take Anstey's strike force of 40 year old David Nugent and 35-year old (!!!) Martyn Waghorn over the shite we've got now.

Lookman is the only one you've named there that's gone on to do better elsewhere.  You can also have French Ed who absolutely nobody was having, so doesn't really hold water in this context. Under has been shit everywhere including with us.  Barnes, Youri and Wilf all won silverware with us, and only Barnes has done it since.  In a lesser competition.  Vardy won everything with us and is now at a mid table Serie A club.  Where's the "much better success since" come into it?  They're in better positions than us as a club now, but they've not gone on to be more successful since leaving.  That's true of the likes of Kante and Mahrez.

We have been so upside down latest seasons that these season's players usually are in better condition. We are bad,they are not better. Wilf is in a club that there is at least 6-7 managers and 3-4 presidents and currently 10 points behind the leader. Under is either on loan somewhere random or injured. Barnes and Youri are in good positions with their new clubs but not in their primes.

James Justin named sky man of the match for Liverpool v Leeds 

He came across really well in the interview just now. Always seemed like a top bloke and while he had a poor last season with us, I can't believe that the toxic atmosphere and moronic teammates didn't have a fairly huge impact.

He’s always been a nice lad to be fair. Obviously went through a crisis with his injury and then being part of a declining team. He was horribly exposed last season. Helps he has midfielders supporting him.

Interesting that he was slated last season for finding himself isolated so often against his winger. Now the same accusation is being thrown at Thomas and to a lesser extent Ricardo.  Could it be that our set-up is more culpable than simply the ability of our FBs  in creating this weakness in our team?
