FrankieADZ Posted 1 September 2023 Posted 1 September 2023 be highly surprised if he came here, think its got a move to Sheff Utd written all over it 1

Don’t know why it makes me so frustrated thinking the only reason we can’t sign these players is because poisonous deadwood that either won’t leave or has had zero interest in them. This mess is going to take a lot longer to clean up if we ever will and we could be stuck with 300k not even in squad 😂 1
Muzzy_no7 Posted 1 September 2023 Posted 1 September 2023 Go to Sheffield: play 30+ Prem games, most as starter and be on the losing side probably about 22 times. Get maybe 5 or 6 goal involvements and then seek another move in June 2024 after Sheffield get less than 30pts. Or Come to Leicester: play 35+ Championship games, Unclear whether he would start every game and enjoy promotion while getting 10-12 likely goal involvements. Develop in a progressive style and not have to seek another move for a fair while with us being back in the Prem and having eyes on returning to the top half and subsequently Europe. Hmmmm.

Finnegan Posted 1 September 2023 Posted 1 September 2023 Just now, Muzzy_no7 said: Unclear whether he would start every game This is a pretty big part of it for me. He's got some pretty fierce competition here from KDH and Casadei. Not only is he being asked to come back down again but with no guarantees of a natural place as well? 2 1

Or play in premier league. Completely Stand out in a weak side. Sheff united get relegated. Then have a number of teams come after him as he was a stand out player or even become a man city option - Or he could be a rotation option with KDH and Casadei here? At moment we are a championship club... Top half of prem and Europe is so so so far away. 1

Could be pivotal come the end of the season when we look back.

By all accounts, I'm not sure we've done much "wrong" this summer. 2

He was only ever going to be a Kel replacement. 1

Could be pivotal come the end of the season when we look back. We're stacked for CBs and Coady is hopefully returning soon so not too fussed by THB. How important missing out on Piroe is depends on whether Ihenacho goes - no way we were signing him if him and Vardy were staying. 1

He's already completed most of the second option though, nothing to prove in the Championship so why not test yourself in the Prem

People get far to caught up with what other clubs are doing. We got the strongest/joint strongest squad in the league. 3
