sorry if not clear - meant best in the league we were in, not the whole of football league.

agree, think its a bit of fantasy football / grass is always greener mentality

when they appointed Fergie they were 4 points behind us with a game in hand (so 1 point to catch) , being a better manager and having forwards we can only dream of and not afford, he managed to finish 13 points behind us! Something doesn't make sense...a better manager, with Boyd, CMS, McCann, Mclean, Tomlin - and a better keeper than ours could get effectively 17 less points than us in the pressure part of the season???

or you may take the £6 an hour Asda job in East London if that is where your girlfriend and mates live even though you are offered £10 an hour in Waitrose in Hampshire!

given up debating facts then cheer up.

Is CMS a decent championship striker? Or a 29 year old with one very good season in league 1 with only a year left on his contract? Sharp and Maynard are years younger, and to be honest sound better although not seen enough of them myself, hence £3m. I have seen a lot of CMS and think he would add to our team, but not convinced would add that much compared to Barnard / Connolly - particularly at higher level where you may need more than his high energy game. I would have liked to see Danns alongside Morgan in CM, but again lets not kid ourselves that he is going to be easily the best CM in this league. Maybe Cork will sign, maybe Cork is better and younger. Schmeical is younger than Kelvin but would rather have Kelvin for next season. Di Matteo wrote an article, with great detail, saying he is not good enough for Leeds after watching him all of last season. Sorry for repeating this bit - but Leicester know their squad wasn't good enough last year as they failed to make play offs - they are weaker than they were.

SSN report as much crap as Mirror so not a signing yet. But if he does I have just commented on that. IF they get all the others will be decent signings. Have you looked who they have lost since last year? Few better players. Gobern /Stephens not a loss - only needed during series of injuries / suspensions. Even if we don't sign anyone we would use loans if same happended - or younger players coming through

would say that would be ok transfer window. Danns looks decent - but hardly star of this league, would have improved the squad - not convinced would have been a first name on team sheet for the year. Would not want Schmiecal do not care in the least they got him. CMS is not worth over £3m to us IMHO. Unless we have bottomless pit would rather spend money elsewhere or stick with our current forward.

suggest you look at the ex-championship squad that Fergie had which significantly underperformed compared to Adkins results. Truly believe you are trolling now as we both know he had a very good squad and we both know the results under pressure at the end of the season (W13D1L1) showed absolutely outstanding management skills (with players out). Agree to go back on thread but please stop trolling with this nonsense

how much have big spending Leicester spent? Not much and are weaker than th eteam that finished 10th last season

isn't Mrs Cork more at home in Essex night clubs?

maybe I set my standards to low, maybe best performing manager in the country was underachieving. hate to think what you would think if you were a posh fan with Fergie as your manger, 'done poorly' ?

he has done excellently but is a bit mad!

agree

why did we do their fitness test for Arsenal today?

some would be lost! Some can't enjoy a win because they fear a loss maybe coming!

says loan, reckon its some cock up link from last time updated centrally???

bizarre!

he may well, or bids from other clubs - why not see all your options

read them for you, its not in any of them

does seem to be the popular choice!

ffs take it seriously! This is a football forum! you maybe right in that it maybe a statement of our intent and he may not sign, just don't think comments today will effect it

he has never let it be known he doesn't, or that he wants to go elsewhere - as far as I can see,
