The 90s have called. They want their transfer prices back..

Yeah, back in the 90’s though. Dribbling was fantastic but he did piss and sh1t himself quite a bit.

Are we building  a man city mk2. The players we are linked with or have signed are mini man city players. Nimble, good on the ball, good movement etc.

...thought the very same, it does not feel like it is a Leicester team!!!

Those big teams have players who have a type of swagger and arrogance (without actually being arrogant) about them, we are moving with the times and have someone in the know who can lead us.

  I think for some supporters of a certain age, there will still be a wish to go back to a less sophisticated style of play.

Plenty of videos..

 

 

I didn’t say he’s the best players in the world..  but anyone with a pulse seems to go for 10m these days. Time for you to understand modern prices!

So what do we reckon? Depth for the 8 and LW position?

Very smart if so. Bring him in as well Akgun, Rak-Sakyi and THB then I’ll say the squad is complete prior to any potential outgoings.

Well yes, that's exactly what we've spent all summer building

Anything you say, sir

Where would he fit? That’s my question…. Casadei is clearly going to be one of the high 8’s…… KDH isn’t getting dropped and nor is Winks……. He isn’t a winger as he’s far too slow….. so you’d wonder where he would fit? If we’re looking at two wingers as well? 
 

Im not convinced we’re in for this at all. I think it’s more likely his agent pushing for him to move and we’ve been linked previously. It just doesn’t make much sense, when it seems Praet is staying too.

Another 44 league games to go, suspension and injuries.

 

The are lots of weeks with games Saturday, Wednesday, Saturday, so being able to freshen things up is going to be important.

Depth to cover for Mavididi and KDH - which we don’t currently have

We need starting XI players, spending a good chunk of our budget on a depth signing would be unwise when we need a new RW, CB etc.

So you are demoting Mavididi and KDH to backup then?

(edit The above is left for posterity but is a load of rubbish)

What is it with all this 'back up' talk. The season in the championship is long and tough. We will get a bucket full of injuries. It's pretty obvious everyone left in the squad, come the shutting of the transfer window is going to get plenty of game time.

I'm lost. 

 

I dont understand how anything he said implied that? 

 

He was suggesting we get a Right Winger because we don't currently have one at all and I'm guessing he wants to see Vestergaard replaced in the starting line up. 

 

He's saying he'd rather we do those things than bring in Chair to be cover?

My bad, sorry @honeybradger I totally took that the wrong way  (Work really gets in the way of my FT experience sometimes  )

We seemingly have our right wing targets identified in Rak-Sakyi (loan) and Akgun (Permanent for £4m if rumours are to be believed)

 

If we get another centre back I think it will be a loan with option/obligation to buy, I don’t think we will go for another permanent signing at centre back unless Vestergaard or Faes leave, I just can’t see us spending £10m+ on someone like Harwood-Bellis either

 

After that it is then depth for left wing and KDH that we need, and also probably Winks

Chair would be able to cover 2 of those requirements, and I don’t think he would be massively expensive or take up a big chunk of our budget (which we don’t know) either

I think the notion of 'back up' players is incorrect with Enzo. Mancitylite means a squad of players  that we can pick a rotating team from, and switch to suit different opponents. They should all understand their position in 'the system' and they will all play. Development squad should all be coached the same - they are the back up in case of injury, and ready to step up. Isn't this what Seagrave was supposed to be about?

If we sign him and don't do an announcement video with the headline "don't sit down cos we've signed ilias chair" the entire media department need sacking.

No point in that as we would be 2nd behind them in the league and have the disappointment of losing cup finals like the champions league.

Nah the club needs to go OTT if it happens

 

Have Enzo walking around DFS at Fosse Park looking at and trying chairs and saying these aren’t good enough, then we can see just Enzo looking at something and saying I like this chair

 

DFS van driving up to the training ground, stops at the security gate saying we have your new chair delivery and it drives in

 

Switches to Enzo walking through the training ground and someone saying his new chair is in his office

 

Camera behind Enzo as he opens his office door, initially the camera is blurry but it goes in over his shoulder and clears up to show Ilias Chair is stood there looking out the window with his back to camera so we see his name on his shirt and then Enzo says “yes this is the chair I wanted!”

 

Ilias Chair turns around and says “no no, it is pronounced (insert however it is pronounced)”

Club need to give me the job ffs
