Is Eccles in your team ;)

Another problem with spending another £6-11m is that any players commanding such sums will also expect a significant salary. This never seems to be factored into the sums of posters (well one in particular) when speculating on the cost to the club of signing such players to sit on the bench...

You keep harping on about speculation like it has some kind of value, but speculation is all it is with no actual worth. Just internet bollocks from attention seekers on the whole, occasionally fuelled by an agent. It means nothing. By definition, in playing for his hometown club Eccles is...

If we were to sell Eccles there would be plenty of interest, including from other top end Championship clubs.

I agree with this. McFadzean was absolutely crucial too us during that period, and the period where the defence struggled most that season was when he was injured. Although the current defence still have to step up a bit, they were much better coping without Fadz. As such I'm hoping all of...

With the players currently available to MR it is fair to presume that he will start with a back 4, and a front 3 of Wright, Simms and Sakamoto or Mason-Clark. I'm presuming Rudoni starts behind them, but also in considering that we have full backs that like to attack (certainly MVE anyway), not...

Well obviously that's up to MR but as things are at the moment I think Eccles is a nailed on starter, and that Torp would have to really tear up pre season to start ahead of him.

Nobody actually knows how good Stamenic is or might be, or actually whether we were definitely interested in signing him. It appears he has potential, but if he is as good as you seem to think he is then presumably Forest would have kept him to play for them this season. Having Eccles in our...

Really? Even if correct calling it a 'massive' city is stretching things a little.

Only half a season?

Is Leicester a 'massive' city?

He's been a big part of the club's upward momentum these last 5 years. Despite his injuries to pretend otherwise is futile. Life in football keeps moving though and there's a fair chance that we will have seen the best of O'Hare. Moving forward Rudoni might well prove to have the better career...

I think Jordan Willis wanted to do that when we were in League 1, where Luton were all lined up to sign him but then pulled out and left him in limbo. No other Championship clubs were interested so his agent asked us, but by then we had already signed McFadzean as his replacement, so he ended up...

With the squad as it is at present I cannot see Eccles not being in the starting XI. Not so sure Sakamoto is a nailed on starter either as much will depend how he looks in pre-season, and it might be that MR looks to ease him back slowly.

If its true that Dovin is done and dusted then that is sorted. As for the other positions I'm not sure its as obvious as you suggest. At RB for instance there seems little point targetting a rival for MVE, as he is a certain starter, and we have Burroughs, Eccles and Latibeaudiere already at...

Norwich offered him a new contract but he turned it down.

O'Hare was with us for 5 seasons, albeit one and a bit was spent injured. Plenty of other players have been considered legends over much shorter playing periods. He was also close to being first name on the team sheet in 2020/21 and 2021/22 seasons and played an important part in our promotion...

He still needed to agree to any transfer though!

Boateng left us a quarter of a century ago so much of our support won't even have seen him play for us. I was gutted when he left, but I think we had the best of him, when he was pretty much an all action box to box midfielder. After joining Villa he turned into a 'sammy sideways' holding...

Not sure its proven either way at the moment. Last season we brought in Kitching and Torp after selling Hamer. I suspect if we had kept Hamer and not signed those two we would have been much more likely to have made the play offs. This upcoming season however we also have Mason-Clark and Rudoni...
