Of course they may develop, but they may not. Thus far we can only judge them on what they've shown thus far. They haven't shown enough.

I haven't said anything about McCarthy. I've said Bazunu cost us points, and possibly relegation. We needed a decent keeper, not Bazunu or McCarthy. Let's keep on topic - only 1 in 4 of our city kids cut the mustard.

It may not have been enough, but nobody is convincing me that Bazunu didn't cost us points.

I'm not, and I see no issue with loans or glorified loans. At the end of the day, a deal has to work for all parties. A kid may be devastated to leave City or Chelsea and yearn to go back once they've had experience. A loan makes that happen, and a buy back makes it possible. For the selling club, it may be that they want another club to develop, but may not want to commit to having the kid back so they have the option, but at a price which makes it a runner for both clubs. For the likes of us, we get a player who may do well, and a chance of a profit if there's a buy back - and it's probably the only way we'd get the kid anyway. Put it another way, if the choice was Tino on the deal we got, or no Tino, what would you have wanted?

Nor did Larios or Edozie. Only 1 in 4 of our city recruits suceeded, and let's not overlook that if we had a decent keeper rather than Bazunu, we may have avoided relegation. It's madness that people are dressing up our signing kids from City policy as a success story because 1 player did well. As for Orsic, we wouldn't have had to take a punt in him if Edozie could actually do anything with the ball - Edozie was part of the problem which led to that problem!!

Most of our fans would have him here in a heartbeat. What Leicester will pay him is nothing other than speculation - some people think everything they read on twitter is fact.

Epsom

More chance that he won't want the embarrassment of playing for fans who get all upset that we're playing Bournemouth in a friendly. He (and the other players) will probably quite like the idea of turning them over though.

Bree is the obvious one to stay. Decent championship RB. I can't see KWP wanting to stick around, although I suspect he won't have a massive list of suitors after last season.

Short

Handcuffs

Ray too. Quiz question - who was the talented kid who was the 3rd player in that move? Never made it sadly.

Sure, but it rarely ends well. Sadly he'll go if he wants to, and a sensible bid comes in. That contract will help us get top dollar.

Rumours... who knows where the truth lay though. Regardless of the striker situation, Shields signed loads of kids and left us well short of what we needed to survive. Yep, it was a shit show though.

Yep. I'm not sure that Shields going was a bad thing. He made a mess in the summer by putting our faith in loads of untested kids, and didn't get us a striker.

It's been said a million times - the only relevance of a long or recent contract is that gives us strength on the fee. That said, I'd be disappointed if this kid wants out so early. He's a terrific player who'd rip up the championship imo.

Buggy

Jeez, here you go again, piping up the next day. As for what you've posted, if it's always someone else, it usually isn't SoG.

Wave

It was 'bless' SoG because it was a bit pathetic (suggesting I'm not allowed in a gang - double bless). I couldn't be arsed to get into it with you, but here you are in your own irritating way, piping up the next day wanting a row. I couldn't give a monkeys what you or anyone on here think about me - it's a forum mate, but you seem a bit consumed by it and it's users. What is obvious though is that you reap what you sow, but can't see what you're doing. Take your post to me. You whine about being followed around the forum by people, but do it in a post resurrecting something from yesterday, that relates to a post from me replying to you in which you were name calling, again. And yep, you are like my sister when we were kids. Like you, she would poke the bear only to complain when she took a swipe. If you're in ant doubt why you get a load of stick on here and other forums, read back the stuff you post. The answers are all there. If you can't see it, and I suspect you can't, there's no helping you. Don't waste one of your 3 on me SoG, I'm off round my sisters. She's a decent human being these days.

You're judging him as a PL player. We're a championship club, as are Leicester. Coady will be superb at this level - far better than Lyanco and Stephens.

Not sure how you get to that from a few people saying they'd have liked to have seen us sign Coady.

On the assumption that we sell ABK and Salisu, Coady would have been a massive upgrade on our remaining CB's. Good signing by Leicester.

The Ozzies are a better team I agree, but the way bazball has been played in this game has given them this game, and probably the ashes, on a plate. As to best combined 11, on current form I'd probably agree with you - no room for any English players. As to our 11, we've gotta find room for Foakes. To play at this level without your best keeper isn't clever.

Bless.
