I hate to say it, but our business this summer could turn out to be excellent. I guess we'll ask review that I'm hindsight once we've seen our new recruits play, but it's been an interesting last week or two.

This window feels almost like Rudkin isn’t involved!  We’re making sensible signings suddenly! 

I have said this previously that I am sure we are either receiving external advice or Marti C is having a strong hand in identifying players. Either way, it doesn't have Rudkin's fingerprints on these moves.

We’re pleased to confirm the arrival of goalkeeper Francisco Vieites, who joins us on a two-year contract, subject to international and league clearance.
 
 
 
 
 
  • Leicester City confirm Francisco Vieites signing
  • Goalkeeper is formerly of La Liga outfit Real Betis
  • He played eight times in last season’s UEFA Conference League
The 26-year-old was most recently with Real Betis having previously turned out for clubs including Bertamiráns, Celta Vigo and CD Lugo in his native Spain.
Francisco said: “It’s a very big step for my career. I’m very happy to join this massive club and I’m eager to start working, meet my colleagues and to try and enjoy the first three points.
“The project is massive. They are doing a great job, the coaches, with a way to play football that I like. It’s like a mix of Spanish football and English football. That’s the way I like to play football.
“I promise that I will give my best every day, every match, and I’m sure we will have fun. The way that I have fun is winning.”
Born in Pontecesures, Francisco started his career with Bertamiráns and made his senior debut aged 15.
In June 2015, he transferred to Celta Vigo, joining the club’s youth system and becoming a regular for Celta Vigo B before moving to Segunda División side CD Lugo the following year.
Francisco later joined Real Betis in July 2022, featuring initially for Betis Deportivo prior to making his La Liga debut against Barcelona in September 2023.
He made 20 appearances for Real Betis, including eight UEFA Conference League games last season as Los Verdiblancos reached the final in Poland, losing out 4-1 to Chelsea.
Francisco now joins his fellow goalkeepers in the squad, who are preparing for our next Sky Bet Championship fixture at Oxford United on Saturday 13 September (12:30pm BST kick-off).

Can sign and register outside the window if they are a free agent

I knew you could sign free transfers outside of the window, I didn't know that you could register them.

Why do you hate to say it? Surely it’s a good thing you think the business looks good on paper

As long as you have space in your 25 man squad you can :)

Proper player, I’m going to get his name on the back of my shirt. Not even a football shirt, my regular work shirt. Will get my Mum to do it with her sewing machine

Depends whether we have registered players like Souttar, Silko Thomas, Wanya Marcal etc.

 

If we have I think the 25 man squad might now be full
