Hlozek scored for Hoffenheim tonight, seems to be doing okay despite their league position. Soule is already out of favour at Roma, yeah.

It’s going to be like the Conservative 40 hospitals. Ndidi, Fatawu, Mads and ricardo will be like new signings when they are back. Plus one of southamptons cast off defenders 

Narrative building. OPA on Radio Leicester said Mads and Wilf coming back is like 2 new signings.

Reminds me of Rodgers talking about a "rebuild", then signing no one and then saying "oh I meant a rebuild of our mentality". Knob!

If we'd have signed Soulé, we wouldn't have signed Bilal anyway. 

 

So tbh, unless Soulé was lighting up Serie A (he isn't) it wouldn't be a bad swerve anyway. 

 

To be honest, looking at what we've spent, if we'd have signed Hlozek he wouldn't have signed Bilal either so all in all probably no massive regrets*.

 

(obviously spunking it all away on Skipp but that's another issue.)

Can't see Juve needing a CB (Okoli) as they just got Veiga from Chelsea. Not sure what other players we'd be willing to loan that they'd want.

 

Funnily enough they have Milik kicking about not doing much who we were repeatedly linked with 5-10 years ago.

 

Torino, it's a shame Per Schuurs is injured as he's another we've been after before, also the Dutch connection with Ruud. They do need Okoli potentially but can't see what they'd have to offer us that they'd be willing to let go.

This is what I was searching for....

 

He's basically back to fitness this week, I just had this sneaking feeling we might have done a loan for him. 

 

Another one who could very quickly end up on the seagrave treatment table though!

It's Roma i think we could do business with. They are a centre back short IMO and Soule is barely getting a sniff.

Just digging to be honest. Jet arrived from Turin this morning... probably just a businessman but I need something to make the next 4 days interesting

Leicester transfer briefing: Ruud van Nistelrooy's four-man target list, the two flops heading for the exit and a surprise boost for Foxes' survival bid

12:00, 31 Jan 2025, updated 12:03, 31 Jan 2025 By TOM COLLOMOSSE

• PLUS: The summer signing already eyeing the door at the King Power Stadium
• Join Mail+ for more exclusive scoops, in-depth reporting and analysis from inside the Leicester City camp

Leicester finally snapped their seven-match losing run last weekend with a shock 2-1 win at Tottenham, but still find themselves in a serious dogfight at the bottom of the Premier League.

They sit a point above relegation rivals Wolves and Ipswich, and there is a long way to go. The Foxes face Manchester United (twice), Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City in the next two months.

Manager Ruud van Nistelrooy eased the mounting pressure on his job with the win at Spurs but has turned on his players behind the scenes in recent weeks and will be demanding reinforcements to keep Leicester's head above water.

Here, our Leicester expert TOM COLLOMOSSE answers the five key questions facing the club as we enter the final days of the transfer window. 

What business have Leicester done so far in January and will they be happy with it?

There is rising unease among the Foxes fanbase at the lack of business this month. 

Woyo Coulibaly is a lone arrival at relegation-threatened Leicester during the January window 

Though the win at Tottenham reduced the tension a little, the squad looks short and Leicester need more than full back Woyo Coulibaly, who joined for £2million from Parma, to fill the gaps.

Coulibaly’s arrival allowed Hamza Choudhury to join Sheffield United on loan and the Blades also signed Tom Cannon for £10m.

What more do they need to do and do they have money to spend?

When Ruud van Nistelrooy was hired, he asked for a full back, a forward, a left-sided centre back and a winger.

Only one of those requests has been granted and given Leicester’s issues with Premier League spending rules, the Dutchman will probably be lucky to get even one more through the door before February 3.

It all points to rising tension and Van Nistelrooy's frustrations are spilling out. 

Ruud van Nistelrooy demanded four new players when he arrived, but only one has come in 

Who are they targeting?

Leicester are struggling. They lack the funds or the recruitment structure to operate effectively in a market as difficult as January.

Ordinarily that would leave the Foxes looking for loan deals – but they cannot do so as they have already filled their two Premier League loan slots, with Odsonne Edouard from Crystal Palace and Facundo Buonanotte from Brighton.

Until that problem is solved, Leicester are stuck with those two.

Odsonne Edouard's loan has not gone to plan and now it is limiting who Leicester can bring in 

Facundo Buonanotte has clashed with Van Nistelrooy previously and he may return to Brighton 

Who could still leave?

The deal for Caleb Okoli last summer has not worked and the defender is eyeing a move back to Italy, where he is a target for Parma.

Leicester are desperate to cancel Edouard’s loan but Crystal Palace will not do so unless someone will take the Frenchman, who has yet to start a Premier League game this season, permanently.

That means Buonanotte, who has scored five goals this season but has clashed with Van Nistelrooy, could end his loan agreement and return to Brighton.

Inside the crisis at Leicester: Why there are fears Ruud van Nistelrooy could quit

Which players have stepped up in January and could be 'like a new signing' for the rest of the season? 

Few Leicester fans were excited when the club signed Bobby DeCordova-Reid on a free transfer last summer, yet when the winger has played, he has usually made his mark.

He has been limited to just three starts in the Premier League but has come off the bench 12 times and scored one. 

He set up both goals at Tottenham last weekend and made positive contributions to the win over West Ham and draw with Brighton at the start of Van Nistelrooy’s tenure. Expect him to have more game time in the coming weeks.

[The boy Linacre]

So according to my maths there is 3 days to go, 1 of the 5 alleged transfers is in.

Is this the most disappointing transfer window we have EVER had??

Our league survival is almost certainly dependent on new blood, and it doesn't look like its arriving and even if it does, it missed winnable games against Palace, Fulham, & Everton tomorrow.

 

And even if something does happen now, will we miss the fax machine again?????

Just REALLY depressing and disappointing AND they couldn't even get rid of Edouard
