He was an inspirational signing, signed on a one month loan. 

 

Came on as a sub, played 7 minutes and was never seen in a Leicester shirt again. 
 

Went back to Cardiff 17 days later, to then join Oldham.

Tanner was on Radio Leicester last night. Said it's sounding as though very little transfer activity will happen.

Seems like the club has accepted its fate. Disappointing

So we look utter utter dross, there is nothing and no quality there now, BUT we are 1 win Yes 1 win away from being out of the bottom 3, with on paper almost as good a run in as we could hope for.

Its a 4 horse probably 3 horse race for that 17th spot, come on Top help your club and manager out.

Can't he just help us find something...........Or is he really as high up in our estimation as we are starting to think he is?????

Harry Redknapp and others would have been out there wheeling and dealing now to do SOMETHING to help us find a few extra points.......SOMEWHERE

[filbertway]

I don't see the point in signing Coulibaly if we're not planning to bring in other players. Why waste money on even one player if you're happy to accept we're going down.

[Jattdogg]

Maybe from our under 21s to see if they play with more heart. Lol

How many times does it need to be said, he’s not got a clue….

Of course Leicester are not signing 5 players. However, just one game changing striker or right winger I think would vastly improve morale and give us an outside chance. If nothing is planned I do wonder what the point is in selling Cannon for around 10 million less sell on when he could be very useful in the Championship.

I think one more with Cannon going and not re registering ward in the 25. But that's it. And I personally think it's a good call, I don't want us spending millions on players we can't shift when we go down on big wages.

That again shows poor planning, we look to have a Championship level striker, if the Board think we are going down, why sell, when we need him in 7 months and he will cost £15/20m to replace as Vardy will be gone if not Daka.

A) International players tend to believe they're too good for the championship, especially if that team is likely going to get a spanking for psr.

B) The bar is set pretty low for clubs to be better than us. I genuinely believe we'd struggle against Leeds, Sheffield United and Burnley away.

 

If we go down, I can't imagine there'll be to many players who want to stick around this time. Just my opinion, you'd expect Vestergaard, Faes, Kristianson will want to play higher ready for the world cup, Soumare would want out again, Ndidi in fairness is better than the championship, Winks in his final year, Coady clearly wants to be a pundit.

 

The only 4 I see as guarantees are Fatawa because he'd be a huge risk, Ayew and Bobby Reid at the end of their career on high wages and Skipp because nobody will want to pay what we want.

Stolarcyk, Skipp, Winks, Coady, Ndidi, JJ, Vestergaard, Daka will probably stay. None have proven themselves good enough or ready to play top flight football yet but would help form a handy Championship side. I wouldn't lose sleep on any of them leaving though.

 

Fatawu and El Khannouss I'd be disappointed to lose, I'd hope being young they'd give us a season in the Championship.

 

Faes, Mavididi, Kristiansen, Mads, Soumare, Okoli we'll actively try to sell but their stock won't be high (Mads maybe, but his stats won't look good in an RvN side shipping goals for fun)

 

Unlike 2 seasons ago, where we did actually have some players that were better than the Championship. This season, aside from 1 or 2, the players that think they're better than the club are probably the 1's who's exit will be celebrated the most.

If we bring 5 players in during this transfer window, i'll donate the value of my season ticket to charity.

Donating something worth £0 doesn't really count as a donation though does it?

Totally agree with the majority of this, what concerns me is everybody can see that a lot of players need to go and I'd much rather have a shit season with an average team rather than straight back up with this team. Apart from Skipp those players blew a 10+ points lead.

It’s January 22nd and we have signed one player. Surely we should of had 2-3 more in by now. Just to freshen up the squad give the fans some hope. Get the fans off the boards back and give the players competition for places etc. But then this is Leicester

Just accept it. Unless we sell someone from the 25 man squad, no one else is coming. 

 

They'll tell Ruud, exactly like they did with Enzo, that they tried. They couldn't complete the signings for X reason. 

 

It's been the same pattern since Rodgers, why do we expect anything different? And the radio silence from the club, the sitting on our hands while Ipswich and clubs around us strengthen and are signing players is just remarkable. We have players no one wants, we have a squad not capable of competing in this league due to years of mismanagement, we're apparently after a position we signed in the summer, but we ho is also trying to shift. We loaned a striker that hasn't played a game for us under Ruud and barely played for Cooper, but is too expensive to cancel. It's a shambles. 

 

Just accept that we're down, no one else is coming and we won't be back in the premier league for many years to come. Nothing has changed in the last few years, so don't expect it to be different in the next week or so. 

 

I'm so frustrated with this club.

We all knew next to nothing would happen. We knew it was bullshit that reinforcements were coming. I'm just wondering if Ruud, being new to all of this, really believed he'd be backed.
