fairbanksh Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 Really find our so called business shambolic . What exactly is Rudkin and Co doing? Looking so much like last minute panic on the way. Throw in the re-emergence of Rodgers tactical failings and I'm getting really worried. Is the Leicester model broken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The model is not broken but our execution of the strategy hasn’t been as good over the last year or so as in previous years. Even then it is risky model year on year. The pandemic must have hit the owners during the pandemic given the nature of their trade. The FFP rules don’t make it easy for clubs for ourselves and don’t seem to create a level playing field but quite the reverse. The Chelsea ownership change demonstrates that it needs looking at again but I wouldn’t trust the football authorities to get it right as they seem unable or unwilling to stand up to the will of the big clubs and their owners. Yesterday was all good for the majority of the match but the last third was not handled well. Brendan clearly consults with his team when making tactical changes and you could see that on the replays. We should have done better. We also have to look at some of the plus points and measure them alongside the constraints we found ourselves in with injuries to Barnes and Ricardo. Brentford do deserve some credit and we do have show some humility and credit to the opposition. We did have talent on the bench though and KDH was having an excellent game. To fix a problem you have to first be recognise it and then make some real change. Otherwise it will keep happening. I do feel more lucid today having got over the initial anger and disappointment but we do go into the next few games needing to see further improvement in the areas we know as fans need focus on.

An Sionnach Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 The model is idealistic and can never be totally relied on.You can't base success on sell on value. Football is not a trading game. I see this morning Neville thinks Man.Utd should buy yet more players because they lost. If they had won ,he would have said no such thing. Our title win was achieved with a combination of experience and two very lucky finds in Mahrez and Kante. Ideally we should promote from within and if we do have to buy , go for a proven player with the principle quality of consistency. We have done that with Castagne , that type of player should be the model.He may not have increased his sell on value but he is paying back his transfer fee and we can have no complaints.

Its mix, we need both avenues of recruitment. selling Fofana will fund the next Castagne and the next Fofana, and .....this is the ideal, it cannot be just one type as too many prospects provides too little leadership and too many like Castagne prevents accruing of revenue. We must remeber that our revenue is currently much smaller than big 6/other doped clubs, we need to be smart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxes96 Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 Looks like Gerrard and Mings have fallen out. Only 2 years left on his contract. Never really rated him, but can’t see him sticking around there now so could be legs in this. Wonder what he’d cost at 29, £20 million maybe. Would hardly be thrilled but could probably do worse. If Wes does leave wonder if Söyüncü might be given another go, or has Brendan given up on him completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t like to have him as a transfer, but would take him on loan for a year if we can’t sign anyone else permanently. Left footed, England international, until recently captain of a premier league team. Would be a good stop gap if we needed someone. Could do with another older head to see out games like Brentford. Would definitely take him on the left side of a 3 over Amartey and Vestergaard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fox_up_north Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 In an ideal window, no thanks but if one or two of Amartey/ Hamza/ Vestergaard go then Mings rotating with Soyuncu/ Ndidi / Nelson isn't the worst of a back line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 I never ever want to see us making lazy signings from other PL clubs regularly. I know it can work but we've seldom done it as we have a thorough and meticulous recruitment model and can identify progressive players that both improve us and increase significantly in value that helps the club grow. Our track record at signing players from other PL clubs is pretty dreadful in recent years and certainly for experienced players where there's absolutely no resale value and if they flop on big wages then we're scuppered (Bertrand, Vestergaard and Perez to a certain extent). Surely even at this late stage of the window we'd have a solid list of targets that match our profile of player we do well with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made his debut yesterday and looked very decent Was at the game and he was best player on the pitch by a country mile. Defensively outstanding, won everything in the air, cant remember him losing a challenge, covered well and made 1 or 2 good interceptions. Going forward he picked the ball up and drove at the Millwall defense on numerous occasions, made overlapping and underlapping runs, although his shooting was a little wayward He's far too good for that standard of football.

Dan LCFC Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Do wonder if we might end up buying Attila Szalai. 6'4 left footed CB, Fenerbahce want to sell upon being knocked out of the CL apparently. Feel like he fits the bill. 100% gambling on that over something like Bednarek. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 My god please not Mings. He's exactly the kind of signing that's got us into this mess. Overpriced and not actually any good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No was just mentioned by a poster, given current circumstances at Villa. To be honest far from my first choice but if it did happen wouldn’t be the end the world in my opinion as I think he would be a decent successor to Evans and being a bit more leadership to the team. However I would much someone like Denayer, a new contract for Cags and a younger prospect coming in as well 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
