Serves him right for dropping Vardy..... we will haunt him forever. 

This guy would have in all probability sold the next seasons golden boot winner and Leicester’s all time greatest ever player because he was a leader in the dressing room and called him a dickhead once. The fact people think anything of Puel baffles me. Our number nine would be Gignac if Puel were still here.

Need another winger and striker after this 

No we need a left back. We dont need another winger unless we can shift Gray. Under and Barnes are likely to be our 1st choice with Albrighton and Perez as back up and as it stands Gray unless we shift him. Left back is the area we need

Not really justin, castagne, thomas and ricky p can play lb, all our full backs minus thomas are versatile

I agree. I’ve no time for him at all. Results wise he may not be the worst we’ve had, but in my eyes he’s down there with the worst. Turgid football....

Still the man who oversaw the signings of Maddison, Ricardo, Tielemans and Soyuncu.

They have a choice of around 25,000 seats that are empty then probably a reason that France has such a covid problem

 

5000 limit in the ground, but in some games at least, they are all in one stand!

 

At least we have our world-beating response to take comfort in. I'm off to shoot some grouse...

I think oversaw is exaggerating the influence he had on those transfers.

[glebe_sydneyfox]

This is going to happen. Probably for ~£3-5mil more than we initially set out to sign him for, a worthy investment in a position we desperately need depth in.

He had managed Ricardo before in France (Ricardo mentioned it was a big factor in coming here). And he Signed tielemans from his old club Monaco where he's won the league as both a manager and player and is a club legend think of it as Liverpool giving rangers some players on loan because of gearard (which they do) or Chelsea giving frank lampard, mount at Derby. 

 

So oversaw is absolutely no exaggeration for those two probably under exaggerating if anything!

 

As for Soyoncu, Evans and Maddison who knows. But the fact he didn't use Evans that much preferring Morgan and hardly played Soyoncu at all would suggest he didn't have that much influence over those 2.

Then again we can forget the crap we served up between December and August. 😉

[Countryfox]

The fact we are sitting top of the best league in the world must really help in luring in new players ..  

[Countryfox]

The fact that we’ve played a bunch of cloggers and a relegation fodder team is neither here nor there  ..

Ricardo was the only on he had any involvement with. The rest the club earmarked prior to his arrival.

Mods, we seem to have veered off into irrelevant stuff about a former manager. 

 

Oh, and by the way, unfunny berks - guess why I get restricted sometimes? For making threads stray. So there was a fair degree of self-irony in what I said, plus a desire to see a bit of fair play, but you make needless (and hilarious) assumptions about me with little evidence if it makes you feel better.

That’s about as optimistic as watching Songs of Praise in the hope of glimpsing some low cut cleavage

Revisionism. Puel clearly played a part in Ricardo coming here.

[Bezzanator89]

GERRIMIN. Might have to pay a little more than we'd like but it is was it is. The lad evens wants to come here, something I don't hear very often about Leicester.

 

Then just get a striker (for when we finally offload Slimani) than I will a lot more optimism for the rest of the season.

CB and striker over wingbacks as I feel the rotation of JJ & Castagne will suffice with Fuchs as back up. 

 

As for Gray id just run the last year of his contract out. We need him for cup games and for back up if/when we get injured so as to free the better squad players to focus on the Prem/EL.

He'll have played some part in all of them, I'm not suggesting the manager doesn't have a voice. 

 

Just that people are so overly fixated on putting responsibility for signings on managers like it's 1970 and Clough and Taylor are driving round the country tapping up old Scotsmen.

 

Even the media do it. All those annoying click bait articles are about managers. Mourinho is selling Alli, Pep sold Sane, Klopp bought Jota. Then people actually hold them accountable for the success and failure of those signings as if the transfer dealings of the club are uniquely down to one dictator.
