25 Man squad to save our season.

I thought I’d start this discussion rolling as we approach the end of the window and the rumours are swirling we want 4 more players. 
 

When you look through the current squad list, you can see the challenge we have, so the last few days of the window are going to be chaotic I’d imagine. With players only coming in, if we can move others out..

 

With the signing of Woyo, we now have no spaces left within the 25 man squad listing we submitted at the start of the season.
 

To make further squad additions now, we either need to need move players on, or just not include them within the 25, effectively ending their season. I can see that happening with some of them as they near contract expiry in the summer, or maybe even longer term injured. 

 

The current squad is as follows:

 

1. Hermansen

2. Stolarczyk (HG)

3. Iversen (HG)

4. Ward (HG)

 

5. Vestergaard

6. Faes

7. Coady (HG)

8. Okoli

9. Ricardo

10. Justin (HG)

11. Kristiansen

12. Thomas (HG)


13. Ndidi

14. Winks (HG)

15. Soumare

16. Skipp (HG)

17. Mavididi (HG)

18. Choudhury (HG)

19. McAteer (HG)


20. Vardy (HG)

21. Daka

22. Ayew

23. Reid (HG)

24. Edouard

 

Coulibaly becomes number 25. 

 

Fatawu, Buonanotte, El Khannouss, Alves,  Braybrooke, Cartwright and Golding meet the under 21 requirement for this season, so don’t need to be registered. 

 

Clubs have to have at least eight players who came through the academy system in England in order to be able to use all 25 spots. I’ve put a (HG) next to the players that comply. We easily fill that, however it does mean that we will likely retain some players you would ideally like to move on. We’ve got headroom to lose 5 players, however that might present a few challenges next season. 
 

I can’t see us re-registering Ward. I think he’s played his last game and leaves at the end of June. This frees up one slot but moves the home grown status to 12. 

 

Defenders wise, Ricardo is back in March by all accounts, so he gets registered. I can’t see us moving someone on, maybe Thomas or Okoli to free up a slot.
 

Thomas’ contract expires in June. However I do wonder if we’ll loan him with a contract extension, with one eye on next season being on cheaper wages and being homegrown if the worst happens and we get relegated. This then allows us to sell Kristiansen in the summer and one less position to back fill. 

 

Okoli hasn’t worked and by all accounts he’s homesick, so if we are entertaining offers with a view to replacing him, then that’s a like for like swap. 
 

Midfield wise, McAteer and Choudhury maybe need loans as they’ve struggled with life in the Premier League. Again, that impacts the home grown status. Ndidi is close to a return so gets registered. 

 

Forward wise, we just need to send Edouard back to Crystal Palace. It’s a bizarre situation but I can only see it happening if Crystal Palace sell him or we get a replacement lined up and need the squad space. 
 

In a nutshell I think we free up the 4 remaining spaces from the following.

 

GK - 1

DF - 1

MF - 1 

FW - 1 

 

A lot of moving parts in that though. 

 

So support this challenge, I think we should all get behind the club, download the King Power App and purchase some of these cracking shirts they’ve got on offer for £23 each.

I used to think getting a new DOF sorted this mess, but looking at that entire page of merch it obviously won’t!

Took me ages to realise what a 25-game squad is but then realised you'd made a typo. 

Thank you! Changed! 
 

Although I may have beaten the record for derailing a topic early by adding the King Power merch pictures! lol

I saw @Ric Flair staggering out of the Corn Exchange at 9am this morning wearing a half and half shirt made up of two of those designs. 

 

To be fair if I could get a shirt made up of 33% of these I'd wear it.

The problems run way deeper than just Rudkin. Club needs a full reset at every level.

They need a reset in the retail section as well. I’m not sure they quite understand football if they think selling Leicester merchandise like this guff makes money!

What's happened to Michael Golding? 

 

Does he still exist? 

It appears it was a PSR fiddle and he’s knocking about in the reserves.

No.

 

The real life guy from the club squad press release pics is going to get a visit from the MTV Catfish guy and his film maker silver fox brother at his irl Missouri home to be told 'I'm really sorry mate, premier league clubs have been using your image to cheat PSR'

I'd change to 5-3-1-1 formation. Make us horrible to play against. Mavididi would be the big loser, but 4-2-3-1 is getting us relegated.

 

I think Coady could be good in a back 3, and Skipp would do better in a middle 3 than 2. Buona and BEK would essentially do a job share as the No10.

 

Probably fantasy world but if we could get some money for Daka, Faes or Soumare maybe invest it in a new centre back and striker. Vardy still playing a role off the bench for the last 20.

 

First team

 

Mads

Woyo Coady New CB Okoli Kristiansen

Skipp Ndidi Winks

Buonanotte

New CF

 

Subs / second XI

 

Jakub

Pereira Faes Veste Justin Thomas

Soumare Hamza Golding(?)

El Khannouss

Vardy
