I don't necessarily doubt a stadium will be built, it's too far along now for it to be a complete ruse. But it won't be 60k that's just an absurd capacity. Baring in mind that would put it on par with Anfield, Spurs' stadium, Emirates, Celtic Park etc.

Valid points but it does seem weird that since the Birmingham game he just hasn't featured at all. Undoubtedly there's going to be a settling in period for Brau which will take as long as it takes until he's deemed ready but is slightly strange he's not being integrated in when games are...

He will do. It's pretty rare for a player to not have a recall option inserted in their loan agreement. Parent clubs need to account for injuries and of course to protect their player in case they're not getting game time.

I would very much imagine that's what they'd look to do, yes.

The priority really is a winger. It's where we're lightest and I'd like us to make a statement signing, better than what we already have. I'd be all for having another look at J. Rak-Sakyi.

It's not just a step too far it's a complete fantasy.

Huh??? They weren't anywhere near filling it were they? Even with all the free tickets throw in. There's not a realistic scenario where Birmingham City fill a 60k capacity stadium. That's a fact.

He's on loan in Turkey but if both clubs agreed a suitable fee I wonder if they'd recall in Jan and sell him to us.

Yeah this was largely achieved two-fold. At the time of moving into the Olympic Stadium they had a ridiculously long waiting list into the tens of thousands and they got the pricing strategy completely wrong. STs were less than £300 from memory which for PL football is outrageous.

I'm not really underestimating them I just think it's a misconception to rate them as highly as you perhaps seem to based on existing form and the personnel they have available. There's also a lot of variables that need to be factored in, which could very much effect where they're likely to...

Whatever a club generates organically can be counted towards offsetting spending regulations. I really wouldn't take any notice of figures that are touted though, they're speculative nonsense which are baseless. But to answer the hypothetical point it's not really a massive loophole as it...

True, but in the manner that we've been playing I can understand that. Looking at Leicester's style and the manner at which they're performing in games it's one of those really that I can't particularly see things switching massively, but granted, it's too early in the season to make a proper...

Rule 101 of marketing, a company that shouts the loudest about being the best, usually isn't.

I've reiterated this point a few times now but half of their goals so far this season have come from outside the box. Again, against Hull the other night their two shots on target were from outside the box - one of which was a goal. Opposition managers and coaches will undoubtedly have...

Hmm I've always said I very much debate whether they actually intend on building a 60k capacity stadium. I think a lot of the rhetoric that comes out of Wagner is just pure shock and awe US marketing tactics. There's nothing really tangible behind his claims but the more he shouts that BCFC...

Will they even then? Based on the stats they looked like they were over performing in the first block of games. Recent form possibly suggests those numbers are starting to come to fruition, albeit it's a small sample pool. There's also the looming points deduction to consider.

It's not even that. The owner's appetite to spend on transfers has seemingly gone completely... that's the point. They spent a measly £3m on Coulibaly last January despite being in a relegation battle, the most they would've spent this summer just gone is perhaps on loan fees, so what does that...

I very much doubt they'll spend anything in January. They might bring in a couple more loans. But if anything I can potentially see more outgoings than incomings again.

He's alright. Did OK at QPR. But lets be honest he was about their 5th choice and he's probably not what they need to get them out of this division.

The main issue with Leicester is they have a very lopsided squad. Significant quality in some areas, but seriously lacking in others. There's also the added complication of several players quite clearly not particularly wanting to be there. It'll be interesting to see how they get on. Worth...
