Without Howe they’re still in league 1 / championship at best. I do understand your points, but as a club they’ve been punching above their weight for years. Anyways, hopefully this news may be the final nail in the coffin for some of the players leaving - Brooks in particular. you misspelled Russian Millions. People forget the way Bournemouth broke FFP on a huge scale to get out if the championship (worse than we did) Most managers could have done the same as Howe with the level of investment he got. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand why he refused to play but I completely disagree with it. The chances of him copping a really serious injury in the final 6 games were minimal and his club, his teammates and his manager needed him and he turned his back on them. For me that just screams selfish twat. Personally I'd love to see every other club make an example of him and not offer him a contract at all but it's not going to happen. I agree with most people's points about Brooks though, would definitely have him here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, I wasn’t aware their wage bill was that high. But the breach is the low turnover, not in particular a huge transfer budget or wages in comparison to other clubs as they had the lowest in the league when promoted. Of course, they would never of gotten up without the millions invested (most clubs don’t so they small clubs barely have a chance), but Howe is due some credit he still had a massive part to play over the past five years. It will be interesting to see the played reaction though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sven did a decent job of wasting many many millions and leaving us stranded mid division! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Gray was playing week in, week out, he'd have a better output. I think Gray is a promising player, so by effect I'm not disrespecting Sarr but I admit I'm guilty of messing up his nationality. I was aware that he was Senegalese but I misremembered while typing that post. He has been a promising player for years,what we need is a real player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i was a betting man i’d put money on him getting another prem Job soon. The Watford job. Perfect match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't break the FFP rules. The FA accepted that it was a 'misinterpretation' and acknowledged that with a much reduced fine. Wolves on the other hand...

Popular Post Gerard Posted 2 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 2 August 2020 Brooks is just about my No1 in the window. He ticks all the boxes with his age and proven quality and fits into Leicester perfectly. A left footed right winger who has great dribbling skills complement Barnes on the other side with his more aggressive pace and power. He could also rotate with Maddison in the middle when need be as the more attacking No8 as we still have Perez, Gray and Albrighton who could fit in that position and we have less options at No8. My ideal window would be Brooks, Edouard and Demiral incoming and maybe financed with Iheanacho and possibly Gray. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing in Europe for a manager with a great track record of developing youth, or playing for a dinosaur in a team happy to make up the numbers for years.
