I mean, that is quite an understatement! He's missed 105 games in the last 3 years through injury... Essentially hast kicked a ball for over 1000 days!

Supposedly Ruiz rejected Ipswich as he doesn’t want to play in the Championship, shame, he’s been on my wanted list for a while. Good spot regarding Ambina, of midfielders in the Eliteserien, he currently ranks 2nd for interceptions and possessions won. 1

LCFCCKEANO Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 The rumours of Chelsea being ready to let KDH go and Fulham interested, could we not stick a loan with a promotion obligation if 10/15 for him and see if he goes for it, we want a left footed cm 1

Nice thought, but I agree with Tuna, he wouldn't want to come to the championship again. He's proven he's too good for the league. Going to Chelsea was a mistake. He never looked happy there and seemed on his own a lot. He should have gone to a Fulham type side instead. Though I suppose he has won 1.2 trophies at Chelsea. (CWC barely counts)
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 KDH will end up back here one day, clear that he didn’t want to leave

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 I think having now watched a few matches under Cifuentes and getting a close look at the squad as a whole and the system required, to me it’s clear we need 4 signings. A back up goalkeeper, another player to play in the pivot, a box to box midfielder and a striker. In too many places competition for places is poor. Here’s a few options I would be looking at: Back up goalkeeper - Begovic - Just waiting for the announcement, perfect addition to the room, bags of experience and a very good No.2 for the championship. CDM/Pivot: Main target - Tyler Morton (Loan, Liverpool) - He did class at Hull, controlled games at times. Get him on a cheap loan and provide Winks with serious competition. Alternative option - Charlie Savage (Reading) Box to box midfielder: Main Target - Marcelino Nunez (Norwich) - For me this is a position that needs real investment. We lack any creativity and goals from the midfield. Nunez has 12 months left on his contract, he got 10 G/A in 32 games last year. I would be more than happy if we reinvested whatever fee we get for Ndidi into Nunez. Alternative option - Jason Knight (Bristol City) Striker: Main Target - Fotis Iodonnis (Panathinaikos) - Fotis just seems a perfect fit for Cifuentes. His link up play and ability to drive into the channels allows for rotation of movement between players, he has great hold up play, fast and good aerial ability at 6ft2. His goal return wasn’t great last season but his overall play for me is perfect for this system. Alternative options - Marc Guiu (Loan, Chelsea) or Chido Obi-Martin (Loan, Man Utd) 2

ithuriel Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 KDH might come back I suppose if there was a commitment at the end of the loan, if promoted we buy him back? 1

He's spent a single season on better money, under no real pressure, won some silverware and now he'll likely move to an established Premier League side. If he'd stayed with us he'd have spent the last season getting the same shit as everyone else and be currently staring down a season back in the championship.

Not going to happen. He may well have 'loved Leicester', but it wouldn't be a good career move. He'll go to Fulham et al
LestaLad Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 If we can get Winks/Ndidi/Soumare/Coady/Faes out, I would be very happy with us signing Brownhill and Mepham on a free. Both would slot straight into the starting 11. 2
Claridge Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 getting rid of as many players as possible, just don’t see this bunch having any fight in them, obviously not the young prospects

LVFox Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 I’m getting a huge feeling that we spend nothing this summer. Can absolutely picture us shifting 4 or 5 out, mostly on loan, and waiting for next season as the major reset. This will be a largely lost season where we take our PSR medicine 1

This will be a largely lost season where we take our PSR medicine i can accept not spending money on transfer fees but what would be outrageous is that we fail to make zero free transfers and zero loans when there is players out there in both markets that will make our starting 11 considerably better.

LCFCCHRIS Posted 27 July 2025 Posted 27 July 2025 I’d like a striker, then apart from that I’m not bothered if we sign nobody else.
