Totally agree. Only poor people have the right to be unhappy/unsettled or missing home! 

That's not the point and you know it.

 

He CHOOSE to come here and relocate. He has the comfort of chartering a private jet when training ends back to Italy and the same jet before training starts if he wants.

Here we go, someone threw in the figure of £50k to make a point and now it’s fast becoming a ‘fact’.

Literally pulled it out my arse as well

We looked alot more solid with the faes okoli partnership,really wish we could go back to that,for whatever reason ruud does not rate him.

He might want out but at the moment we think it’s appropriate to stick him on the bench. In which case, he is ok to start. Start the ****er until he goes, if he goes!

Didnt we just sign this guy?  Whats going on with our squad management and recruitment?

We don't have a conventional director of football so every manager wants something different and the squad needs an overhaul every time we change.

Was about to say Ranieri is going to do us a favour then realised he wasn't their manager any more

 

[JimJams]

Absolutely no fxxking Italian team is taking him on a deal that doesn't shaft us silly.

Tell them to fxxk off.

He has potential but it was a surprise because Leicester have so many centre backs although few with youth and pace. If Okoli is sold at a loss it would look very poor . I find it hard to believe how much the club has paid on some of these summer signings either in fees or contracts without significantly strengthening the starting 11 in all areas of the pitch

I suppose at least it would mean he would be back for the Championship next season… (until he wants to go back to Italy again)

What’s a dry loan?

No option or obligation to buy

 

We would just be getting a loan fee and whatever % of his wages covered

 

But @baldeagle is also correct

We’re desperate to get bodies out as we’re at the 25 man squad limit.

Hahahaha. Takes a lot for me to actually laugh at something on here but this got me. Probs because every thread is so bloody depressing and this actually has an element of truth to it

And yet it's reported Sheff Utd are very keen to get Choudhury and we've stalled on it.

We do things that don’t even make sense. Like Iverson last summer. Reported bids, the club targets a keeper, bring one in, he’s awesome. The club strikes lucky and the under 21 keeper is a very decent deputy but we turn bids down. 
 

First injury when 1 & 2 are out who starts ? ward. Like what have we kept him for. 
 

The Choudhury deal shouldn’t be this difficult.

Is it  us or Choudhury though ? I seem to recall talks of other loans falling through and taking an age .

Can't see why Hamza would hold it up, he'll have his wages covered regardless and he'll get to play. Maybe he doesn't want to play? 😂😂

Yeah but you do two deals together don't you I guess. One in, one out. We'll let Hamza go if/when we've got the deal we want to do ready to go.

 

[fox_favourite]

Sending him on loan is another show of failure in the summer. Honestly whether it was Cooper or not, he chose the profile and how many have worked? Bilal is the one that stands out, Ayew to an extent. But the rest, shambles. 

 

I actually feel for Okoli now. The guy has promise. I think as a defender he's not bad. As a ball playing CB he struggles. 

 

For this summer alone, heads should role. But for years of crap, and never learning, is inexcusable. 

 

I'm so angry, but numb to this club at the same time. Yes, I'm one emotionally bizarre foxtalker

To quote R.Flair. We are the pits.

It’s a fair point but does make you think, to do the deal (if there is one for the replacement) we are also dependant on Cannon moving to free up some headspace re: PSR. The same club being interested in both suggests there’s a chance we could get shafted on one. I don’t know how we could on a loan apart from covering a large percentage of fees but Jon has skills,

Cant remember who it was, Praet maybe, was saying that Rudkin has a hard stance on player value… so he’s overvalued Okoli at what we bought him for which is significantly higher than what the market will pay, and he’s holding the player to ransom on permanent moves as a result. 
 

This has happened since the title win. Overpay, market undervalues, we loan out, player leaves on free.

 

Its a horrible business model
