I do think this time in the Championship will be very different for Leicester. Their squad as it stands (yes we can only make a true assessment once the window is over) is significantly worse than when they were last in the Championship. They need to get their recruitment right otherwise I...

Moussa, Baker, Murphy and Christie also left. It was a pretty disastrous summer to be honest.

Granada's season only finished on Sunday.

As it stands we have two senior GKs and Bell currently under contract. It's very unlikely we'll look to move on both Wilson and Collins. I'd imagine the priority will be to get the latter off the wage bill which is going to be difficult for the obvious reasons.

Disagree. Dasilva was culpable for several goals last season due to a lack of pace and poor positioning. Although he improved in the latter stages of the season we ultimately need better.

The parent club will probably have a slightly different attitude about that...

I've not taken anything out of context you didn't read the full thread. As mentioned, if he suffers a setback as unideal as it is it doesn't particularly change anything. Either the club can extend a six month loan, or if that's not possible they'll likely dip back into the market either for...

I really struggle with people that fail to read. I've already touched upon that in this thread and it likely won't change anything if he does suffer a setback. There will be an option to extend in Jan or even bring someone in more permanent if for whatever reason extending isn't an option...

I'm well aware of the recovery time of an ACL, I think we're all well acquainted by now. As i've mentioned though Saddle has indicated recently that the recovery window for Dovin had been reduced to October/November time. So if that is indeed the case we categorically won't need, nor likely get...

Not all that surprising that team fell away to be honest. Recruitment in January was appalling and there was no depth whatsoever.

Possibly, but personally I think you're being over cautious. He suffered it at the back end of March. Meaning really he should be good to go by January if all goes well. Not sure sidelining him unnecessarily for the best part of half a season is the best strategy for him moving forward or in...

Personally I'd prefer the loan option. 6 months with a view to extending depending on performance / how able Dovin is to return into the fold. On reflection I really don't think it's overly pragmatic to be saddled with yet another permanent GK on our books really if we're unable to move Collins on.

I do agree. Unless we're in a miraculous position that sees Dovin coming back early, the club needs to set aside extra budget for a GK this season. Will help if we can move Collins on - which is far easier said than done.

Disagree, I actually think we stand a fairly good chance of hitting that. And I'm usually a huge pessamist when this discussion loops back around every year.

A lot hinges on Dovin's recovery time. If he's not back until the early part of the new year I would've thought the club will definitely look to bring someone in. If he's back much earlier than expected, which has been indicated by Saddle, then FL might feel inclined to just make do with what...

Would wages not be a problem? You would've thought he'd be on £30k+ pw.

It's neither here nor there really it's just highlighting human nature and what's realistic in the context of the discussion. You're entitled to take whatever position you want but the fact is the vast majority won't care and that's been proven from several case studies. Like you said the...

A tiny proportion of the fanbase would be bothered. Vast majority would still turn up week after week. Newcastle fans aren't at all bothered. Nottingham Forest is owned by the Greek equivalent of the Godfather whose rap sheet is longer than a giraffes neck. Again, they're not at all...

£30m with Rodon going in the opposite direction. I can sort of understand it with Gray though. 18, England U21, and had a hugely successful season individually despite being incredibly young.

As talented as he is that's a huge outlay for a player in the Championship if that's the case. I'll have to take your mate's word for it but I find that extremely dubious.
