No one who gets 80m for Maguire is weak.

 

We have always got good deals for our players Mahrez 65m, Chilwell 45m. 

I thought we could have got more for Mahrez and Chilwell.

 

Those clubs wanted those players badly and they were loaded. I thought we could have got another £20m for each

That would have made Chilwell the must expensive fullback in the world...........lol

 

Mahrez was in the top 10 PL transfer of all time and is still in the top 20  (PL) and 40th highest in the world.

 

Chilwell is the 6th most expensive fullback in the world.

Do some people really believe that the lack of transfer business is some elaborate ploy to get rid of the manager? lol

It is sending him a message and makes him look a twat

We’re in a bit of a mess if we’re honest..

 

can’t shift players..

 

can’t bring anyone in..

 

we will be ok, but only if our key players stay fit.. unfortunately, most of our key players do have history of missing games…

 

And if fofana and Maddison do indeed go… we really are in the shite

I get it but he was top of Lampards transfer list and i reckon Chelsea would have paid more than we got.

Mahrez, I think he went for that fee because of what we paid for him, I still think we could have got more, but what do I know, just chatting sheeeeeeeit 🤣

It isn't a ridiculous idea that we don't trust him with funds, is that the same thing?

No that’s just fans venting.  Why do you think it means more?

Anyone else not bothered if we make transfers in? I would rather we use the extra funds/wage bill to:

 

1. Reduce our wage bill/income ratio to a reasonable amount so we dont get into this situation again.

 

2. Consolidate our current squad by tying down on key players on improved contracts. Signing 1 player wont do much if we lose the likes of maddison on a free a couple years later.

We really need to bring in another winger to improve our starting 11, as the squad is v thin in that area.

I ain’t far off kids 

We’ll soon see if the club is going to cope with the current squad.

I think we WILL unless we get bad injuries to Fofana or Maddison. Heaven forbid not to both!

I think Daka can just about now replace Vardy. Mendy/Soumare could just about do a job if Wilf gets crocked again.

And we’ll probs have to see who’s in goal.

It’ll still be weird not seeing the smiling Dane between the sticks…

Go on, this'll be good. 

If he finds another club they dont have to pay him off... infact they can ask a fee like for a player.

It looks lije theres bern a big row.

I think they are fed up with his ideas for spending. 

What do you think is going on?

With Barnes getting injured frequently the decision not to actively pursue wide cover/improvement is the most baffling decision i’ve seen from this club in a while.

So you think the club want to make him look bad so that another team will poach him? 

 

Interesting theory.

They are letting him know he needs to find a new club.  He will spin it how he likes ... a per usual.

In a close season of batshit conspiracy theories, that has to be the maddest of them all.
