    I feel that we have really wasted a great opportunity this window. For the first time in ages during a transfer window we are in an excellent position to convince targets to join the club. We are 8th and have just been taken over, we do not have to persuade targets to come and work hard and fight off relegation, instead we should be selling the club as a club who are 8th and fighting for european competition. I include the summer window also because even if we finish 8th i’m sure all the talk will once again be of getting to 40 points.

    Take the top 6/7 clubs out of the picture and the rest to me is much of the same, we are currently top of that pile and should be looking to cement that.

    I feel that unless we are incredibly lucky with injuries we will all be looking back at the end of the season at what could of been.

    People wont like it but take stoke. we are in direct competition with them in the league. they have taken a striker from us. a bloody good one as well no matter what we all think of him. he will improve them and get goals.

    All this because TP will not take a chance on players who haven;t played in the prem! we need a striker. take a chance on one for goodness sake. if we sign a striker and he is a flop there is no difference to not taking one. we aren;t any worse off. In this day and age we would probably get our money back if we were to sell them on anyway. Why not a loan with a view to permanent. then there is no risk. We have hammaond we have scouts are you telling me there isn’t any strikers available. Of course there is but TP will not shop abroad. He probably voted for brexit.

    Spot on there with ‘TP won’t buy outside the Prem’ Les. Anyone with half a brain would have realised that Prem players are either unavailable, too expensive, not good enough or over the hill. Why does he think that the top five are constantly being linked with overseas players? This window just like previous ones will be another let down and people can’t blame JP this time!

    Les and ‘Uncle’, your comments are fair enough, but wait until the window has shut, as I fancy that there is a lot to be done, yet. It’s a game that has recently been complicated by the ridiculous prices that Chinese teams are playing, and I think TP blows a lot of smoke in trying to disguise his intentions.

    You know that I’m an optimist…but let’s wait and see because it’s not just about bringing in quality. It’s bringing in quality players that will fit in with our current squad. (Do you think Slimani has made Leicester a better team?)Livermore is a great acquisition and a couple of other young and speedy players would give us some depth down the stretch, as injuries, fatigue and suspensions grind down our regular starting XI.
    COYB!

    I like the ‘young and speedy’ bit but unfortunately all the players we’ve been connected with are all 30+ or very close to 30!

    Well, Les…I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed that our new owner didn’t encourage the acquisition of one or two new players. But, as they say, sometimes the deal you don’t make is ( in hindsight) the best one.

    We don’t need over-paid guys like Benteke, Zaha and Igahlo. So, as our position is secure, I hope that TP will give Leko a chance.

    Fair enough what has happened has happened. I agree and also Hope that leko is given his chance. I fear he wont be though. I understand he isn;t the finished article and is still learning but the kid has a lot to offer us. Should be getting off the bench at the very least
