Of course we have the money we sold Mills and Bamba so we must have recouped approx £2m.

Those players that are available to improve us i.e Koren would only cost 500K hardly that expensive

I am sure players of Chris Burke's ilk for that LW position would come cheapish due to financial restrictions at Brum it is just a case of putting in a bid!!

Gone for play-offs. I am more positive about our squad and season than a fair few on here I think. I am not worried that we are short and would be happy with what we have now complemented by a loan or two if Pearson feels we need more numbers. Whenever I see things like "we need this player or that type of player" its makes me realize how greedy City fans have become considering how much the squad we already have has cost to assemble.

I Just hope a slow start doesn't mean another managerial change and another squad rebuilding.

That's an easy one. If offered play offs now I'd definitely take it.

Regarding your couple of players off serious contenders, I've been saying this for weeks.

Depends on Pearson ( he always seems a stubborn sod) and money ( have we got any to spend?)

If money is available I'd push the boat out now and sign Spearing (if available) as the midfield stopper and Koren (as the playmaker).

Yes, we have many central midfielders, but these two are better than anything we currently have and could make a huge difference. Just pipe dreams though probably.

Despite his age I'd have loved us to have signed Danny murphy

Just outside play off places, probably 9th again or somewhere like that.

Our team doesn't look strong enough, most sides midfield will dominate our midfield.

And there are about 12 teams capable of top six, and we are one of them, but I think many teams will be stronger than us this season.

No way are we going up this coming season. Pearson has recruited youngsters en mass, and that is a MASSIVE mistake, but exactly what I expected from such a pathetic so called manager.

ANYONE, who can state on this site that we will be in the Premiership following this season, is a brain dead pillock.

Under this donkey, we will get nowhere. :nono:

I can't see us finishing in the top 6 as things stand currently.

Morgan as captain is a mistake for me although he is big enough to deal with the majority of situations against tinpot in this league. However, I'm not as confident when he comes up against pace, he'll be done too easily against opposition strikers from top 6 sides. Somebody else is required at CB and I don't see any movement on that front so I'm worried about that.

Secondly we're all still harping on about needing another CM, despite the fact that we have these in abundance. I agree and I still don't see anything happening there either. We also don't have enough options down the flanks and although Marshall could do a job from the left, the fact that Dyer started the game yesterday in this position does nothing whatsoever to improve my confidence that the midfield is any less disorganised than it was last season.

As for strikers, Vardy is a gamble but it's one worth taking imo. Listening to the commentary yesterday he came across as one of the decent performers, and this coming from a conference player last season - says a lot about the rest lol. As for the enigma that is Beckford, only time will tell on that one.

We need to be less predictable in our approach and our system yesterday did nothing to alter my view on that either. We seem our usual predictable selves with no alternative plan B.

So all in all, I expect a lot of huffing and puffing, something organised and steady but nothing outstanding or the required guile and pace required to unlock tinpot with 11 behind the ball. Of course we've known this for the past 3 seasons - but managers, whoever they are world-class or not, seem not to notice.

It's crystal ball gazing given that so much can change and often does at Leicester. But I'll join the spirit of the thing and say that while the team has the ability to reach the play offs I don't believe they'll win promotion. Fifth at best but 7th quite probably.

The reason is simple. I don't believe they have the right philosophy or the right ingredients as a team. Pearson has always been a cautious manager to me and, while I've hoped he might change, I see no signs of it.

Yes, Vardy/Nugent seem a potentially exciting strikeforce. But as a team I just don't see us pressing forward as a unit and getting numbers into the box consistently. Did we give more than two or three 90-minute efforts through all last season?

And where are the people who refuse to contemplate defeat and won't let their teammates entertain defeat either? The guys who would make a teammate weep sooner than put up with losing.

Think back to the last time you saw Leicester midfielders and full-backs really busting a gut to get into the penalty box and offer support. Not once in a while but all the time - yet we need that attitude and the goals that woud come with it.

When do you see half the Leicester team making selfless, off-the-ball runs to create space for colleagues.

When do you see Leicester players picking loose balls up on the edge of the box and queueing up to prey on any ball that flashes across the penalty area.

It's not about hoping to get there or hoping to get a break it's about being there and getting there the next time too.

The instinct to be ruthless can't be over-emphasised. From corners, from free-kicks, from loose balls out of defense, from individual errors we need to be alert enough to pounce on every opportunity.

But how many goals did our centre-backs and full-backs score last season? How many shots did they have? How many goals did we score from corners? How many goals did we create from free-kicks? Not nearly enough.

Will Pearson correct those failings and more I could mention? Hope springs eternal but where's the evidence?

here was it at the end of last season when, with nothing to lose, there was no risk toW having a go? We so rarely looked wholehearted nor did we show any indication that we knew what was wrong and were determined to work on the details of putting it right. The same failings showed time and again.

If we don't correct our failings it doesn't matter who we sign or what we pay em. All-for-one-and-one-for-all is the vital ingredient of any team set on winning a championship but we hardly ever moved back and forward as one unit last season. We were like separate bits of the same machine - disjointed, disorganised and uninspired.

If Pearson does tear his chains off and demand what's needed I'll be as loud in praising him as any. But there's so much he needs to do and so many minuses that must be changed to pluses.

Talk of automatic promotion is the product of a bad mind or good drugs.

Maybe both?

lol

AND the 11 folks who stated 'top two' STILL ain't explained why........

But how many goals did our centre-backs and full-backs score last season? How many shots did they have? And what about our midfield? Where was the urgency and bravery to hurt themselves in the belief they might plunder a chance? How many goals did we score from corners? How many goals did we create from free-kicks? Not nearly enough.

For fooks sake .... Give em all a chance...
