Talk Leicester

Christian Fuchs was signed on a free which is crazy. Always feel like Wes Morgan and Robert Huth don’t get enough credit in that title winning side.

Danny Simpson maybe? Massive part of that title winning team

will.butcher14h ago

Fuchs and Albrighton - unreal. Don’t think Wes Morgan’s influence was ever given the recognition it truly deserved either. What a team

Looks a good deal this! Falls into the Emil Riis envelope of too good for League One

Major coup feels generous possibly

Top footballer and top bloke! Gonna be a great signing

Martin’s 25-game unbeaten run at Saints started on the 30th of September after four defeats in a row… could we be about to see something similar at Leicester?

sentientsphee5d ago

Matty Fryatt for me, thought he was the best player in the world other than Vidic and Torres

jordan.harris5d ago

Would Max Gradel have played in this one?

markmarston5d ago

Big Steve Howard up front! That winner against Leeds last minute jumps out. Bullet header!

sentientsphee6d ago

Think its too early to tell. I'd like it to be Kangasneimi and O'Hara but one hasnt had much time in the team and the other has made two mistakes in two games

markmarston6d ago

Souttar has been poor but I’d probably say him and Kangasniemi

callum_boyle7d ago

What a brilliant day

markmarston7d ago

Clearly best for both parties. Faes didn’t want to be here and majority of fan base didn’t either. My main concern is Okoli will now get more game time - and he’s significantly worse. Faes was our best defender, so from that perspective it’s a loss. Let’s hope Kangasniemi gets the nod. Would like to see him next to O’Hora or Souttar

lee.connor7d ago

Lillian Nalis comes to mind as he somehow ended up at Sheffield United and never played. Then from back in the day I remember big Frank Sinclair having a stint 😂

dakir.thanveer7d ago

Esteban Cambiasso. Not obscure but his name gets lost in Leicester history because he was there only briefly. Without him, there's no Kante, no title miracle 😅

dantowen819517d ago

I genuinely have no memory of Vicente Iborra playing for leicester

sentientsphee7d ago

Give him more time on loan, hopefully he'll smash it and then come to us ready for the championship

callum_boyle8d ago

I’d probably keep him there now. Playing every week is going to do him the world of good and, unless we have serious injuries, bringing him back probably means he sits on the bench. I want him to play though and I’m worried we’ll push him out it we don’t start giving him chances sooner rather than later

leeclarke05088d ago

I don't think so. Leicester will go again after Christmas and think his development be better served on loan

sentientsphee10d ago

I think I've seen enough to know we will be okay so I definitely think results will improve it's just to what extent. Martin's tactics will stay the same, its up to the players now in terms of the execution. 10th to 1st feels achievable but we need to see consistent performances to achieve the top of that range and to reduce silly mistakes.

markmarston11d ago

I do agree. I really do think I’ve seen enough to suggest we’ll put together a great run of form. I just think we need another source of goals away from Riis. Think Chaplin’s return will be massive. He’s a prolific goalscorer at this level. Also think defensively we’ve looked a bit better if not perfect. McCarthy just needs to pick and chose when to play

♥ 1

sentientsphee12d ago

Bristric and Watson were great, was excited by the energy of Hutchinson when he came on. Honestly would like to see Martin maybe try Riis and Bristric up top together. Hoping that O'Hara's blunder for the first goal and the one against Barnsley won't be repeated but if it gives Kangasneimi a chance to come in I wouldn't be against it

♥ 1

markmarston12d ago

Really impresssd by Kamari Doyle… looks a very technical footballer. Good to see Watson looking a bit more confident

sentientsphee12d ago

Would agree with most of these, Lundstram over Braybrooke is unfortunate. My biggest takeaway is that RM's strongest 11 will probably look very different come the end of the season. Would expect JJ to cement his place but Aluko has just as good of a chance. Watson, Braybrooke and Kangasneimi will hopefully be in there too. Not convinced at all by McCarthy

markmarston12d ago

Braybrooke so unlucky to miss out, I just think once Chaplin is fit, it’ll be Page and Lundstram with Chaplin in the 10

♥ 1

sentientsphee14d ago

We consistently played through Barnsley's press over and over, getting many shots and into lots of good positions. That's RM's style in full effect. Unfortunately we didn't take our chances, could've been 3 or 4 up at half time.

sentientsphee14d ago

Great performance, just didn't take our chances

chrisdoyle56715d ago

I don’t think the manager will be around very long

george.patten15d ago

At least things have settled a bit. Last few results have bought Martin time

markmarston18d ago

I’ve just read Percy’s report and it very much sounds like Top was just floating the idea of a sale… he was never fully commited unless a monstrous offer came in. I always felt it made little financial sense to sell in League One when the club is at its lowest value. Would not be surprised if he stays on long-term and brings in another outside investment

sentientsphee19d ago

I think the trust is gone, would love if he could turn it around but I don't really believe he can. Hope I'm wrong but I also hope the club can be sold before the end of the season, preferably to American owners who would leave the statue of Vichai in place. Kp are a part of the history of Leicester

callum_boyle19d ago

No I think it’s a lost cause. I’ve outlined many times why he’s not fit for purpose and nothing will change until him and Rudkin are no longer at the club

markmarston19d ago

Yes I definitely would. I’ve always backed Top & hoped that he’d turn things around. Clearly he is responsible for the decline, which was ultimately led by Rudkin for the most part. He’s learned… moved Rudkin upstairs & allowed a fresh mind to take the club forward in James McCaron. Martyn Glover is also heavily involved. I would back him to continue 🦊

donaghcorby199719d ago

More bad news for Leicester! 👀👀

jordan.harris20d ago

As a neutral, I really hope they manage to sell before they damage the legacy any further. Leicester made all our clubs dream and it’s so sad that it’s come to this

callum_boyle20d ago

Just shows how much financial trouble we’re in. Not good news and the sooner they sell the better

user0c839d9519d ago

Simple don’t boo the players. This is a young team and need time . I totally agree with the change of ownership because there ability to understand what the fans want in respect nobody wanted this style of football. I don’t believe anything will change with fans protesting as that is already been proven with the owners stance on Rudkin .

callum_boyle20d ago

As soon as we get efficient and proper communication from the board and club. Not being treated like crap by then, and the sacking of Jon Rudkin

markmarston20d ago

Ultimately it’s about winning mainly… that will fix it. It may take time for those who don’t want Martin… but eventually it will turn 🤞we need to get back to being united as quickly as possible

sentientsphee20d ago

Page will go next summer for 20-25m I reckon, hope he helps us get promoted before then

adnan.riaz20d ago

It hurts to see this as a Man Utd fan after this summer. 🥲😅

jonny21d ago

Important to remember he’s playing in League One… League One players shouldn’t command more than £20m

callum_boyle22d ago

Yeah, uncomfortable viewing this. I think there rightly has to be concern at the way we almost let a 4-1 lead slip but feels like people are just doing those chants for the sake of having their Instagram moment. Deserves credit for at least bringing Kangasniemi on to see it out. Would like him to partner O’Hora at Barnsley next week

jordan.harris22d ago

Buys Russ a bit of time, but clearly a lot of work still needs to be done!

daviescallum4222d ago

Jeez, how important might that win prove to be. Still hardly convincing stuff 😂

markmarston22d ago

GET IN!!! A win 😍clearly when it clicks we are a good side but too fragile at the back. Need a keeper in the free agent market don’t we. Anyway, we’ve waited long enough for a win so I’m not gonna pick holes too much. Page class, Riis a proper goalscorer & Lundstrum is the most physical midfielder we’ve had since Ndidi - needed. Onto Barnsley now 🦊💙

dantowen8195122d ago

He rubs people up the wrong way, just no ignoring that. The Rangers fans really didn’t take to him from day one. I feel bad for the guy but obviously there’s an issue with his communication

gomatz7723d ago

He spoke like a man that really was worried about himself and his family. Hopefully the game of football finds the right balance between criticising and getting personal about players and coaches

james.brooke23d ago

There is something inheriently unlikeable about him. Some people are just irritating to others, he is one of them sadly for him

daviescallum4224d ago

I do not rate Russell Martin one bit

jordan.harris25d ago

I’ve never been a fan of Martin as a manager but there is no upside to sacking him when Leicester are such a mess off the pitch. More money spent on compensation and a new manager with a squad built for Martin did not help Rangers last year!

dantowen8195125d ago

I’m fundamentally against changing managers so soon, especially when they come with such a set philosophy Question is, what if it gets even more toxic in the stands?
