I'd have thought every club outside the big six will be looking to reduce salaries, not sure how many average players will be commanding £80k per week from here on in. Albrighton won the PL and FA Cup, Walsh won .....? Play offs, defender, goal scorer. I would say Walsh was more pivotal to the success we did have than albrighton. Not doing his achievements down, just in a comparison... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much as I loved that period and the regular visits to our second home Wembley, it doesn't come close to what Albrighton achieved, PL Champion, FA Cup winner and I believe he chipped in witha CL goal.

Flog Iheanacho and Soyuncu and everything will look better. Choudhury, Praet, Perez, Mendy etc a few of thse will leave which may not raise much but will free up money for salaries. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 (edited) 4 hours ago, gw_leics772 said: As much as I love albrighton (and struggle to forgive Walsh for joining cov), Albrighton ain't even in the same ballpark as walshy. Vardy probably surpasses them all but maybe due to my age, walshy was Leicester city. (As is Vardy now, I guess - don't mind me, move on, nothing to see here) I really wasn’t trying to compare them in term of ability. Just that I’d consider them both cult heroes for similar reasons and in a similar category of cult hero. That is different to say the Ormondroyd type cult hero, who was maybe a bit crap if we’re honest, but tried hard and was likeable and the Steve Claridge type cult hero who wasn’t here for long but scored massive goals. I disagree with your assessment and feel like Albrighton’s goal vs Sevilla is just as iconic as Walsh’s goal vs Derby. But that wasn’t really the point of my post, I was just saying they belonged to the same category and are cult heroes for similar reasons, not that one was higher within that category than the other.

fazzyfox Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 I think the Arsenal situation is that either he’s their second choice so they’re waiting until 1st choice says no or they’re thinking the later in the summer it goes before bidding the lower the price we’d take (I’m not saying I agree with that logic). I’d say to Youri, if they really want you why have they not put an offer (transfer fee) in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderbyFox Posted 1 July 2022 Share Posted 1 July 2022 Have a terrible feeling we are going to lose Tielemans late in the window and either not sign a replacement or end up panicking and signing a rotter 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post urban fox Posted 1 July 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 1 July 2022 (edited) If I was Rudkin I would be telling youri (and his sgent) that unless arsenal (or anyone else for that matter) get an acceptable bid in before the middle of the month then we will not be doing business with them. At that point he stays here and without a new contract he takes his chances as to whether he gets regular game time as he will no longer remain part of the long term planning. Before we took him on loan, he was out of favour at Monaco and runs the risk of the same happening here. Personally I hope he signs a new deal And helps us to win more silverware Edited 1 July 2022 by urban fox 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is 3/4 of the way out the door. We aren't going to ignore our targets knowing this is the most likely outcome. The way it is now, having a replacement signed strengthens the club's hand, since Arse/ManU/Tot know we don't need cash to buy, and he knows he could end up benched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
