What about any of the academy players, think some of them did have some game time in preseason. Might be a novel
Idea but how about developing them rather than them be discarded in a couple of years and we buy some over priced average player.

We need LB cover more than RB. Who is evaluating our squad?
Send back timo
Look how that turned out last season think he got a yellow in one game after coming on. He is not athletic enough. I’d rather just play Spence there and tell him to stay wide. Also he is much better in a high line as he has the pace to recover. He could if we develop him turn into a walker. He defo has better technical ball skills and can beat a man easily.If we still don't have a LB rotation after the window, Ange will play Skipp there..
I guess some would need loans as per Dane Scarlett.
Hasn’t MADDs played in the right for Leicester before?
I mean...you keep on saying that, but we're not going to. There is zero chance the club are gonna look on here, and say 'Oh Maureen's said over and over that we should get rid of Timo so let's do it"
You've made your point by now. I'm sure you've got plenty of other things up your sleeve you'd like to talk about.
For the record and before you bloody start...no, I don't think we should make Werner a permanent signing, but he's here...hopefully he'll make some kind of contribution.

I agree with you on this.
As far as squad goes, I think we 100% need a RW and a LB (and Eze).
They do but this constant narrative of players needing loans and then we go out and spend money on a squad player who is not much better is annoying. Say for example we didn’t get timo on loan and just developed donley for that left side. I’d much rather see that than him go on loan. Why do always have to send them on loan. If they are good enough keep them abd develop them in house with the first team squad. Other teams have faith in their youngsters about time we did. Referring to our academy players not ones purchased like gray and berg.
For a change we are aligned
Again going by stats. If that is the case go analyse those goals and assists. How match winners, v which trans, were we being thrashed already like dippers game, etc.
then look at how many times he loses the ball, cannot hold it up, play an dicisive pass, bottle 60/40s, over hot cross, fail to beat a man , etc.
It's a way of introducing them to first team football, I guess it could ruin players if they go straight into our first team from the youth set up. It's also a way of finding out of they can hack it.
But you're right as we haven't really had a youth player come through since Kane. Not sure how we're going to manage Mikey Moore.
Didn’t he start v Fulham in the caraboa last season. He cannot play in a he’s system of a high line either as a LB or LCB.
he'll get a lot of mins in the cups, esp Europa
What were his bigger priorities as he never elaborated. Nothing in pre season has shown any tweaks or change in either style or approach.
Yeah he did elaborate. He said he wanted to get principles locked in. He said this summer those are in now so it’s more about details now

Not sure how true this is but could give us an opportunity to sign raphinha
I wanted him the summer we signed Richy. At Leeds he just looked like he had everything we needed to be a winger. I would be all over bringing him here loan or otherwise. However I am not certain as to how convinced he would be to play for us. The scum like him too. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were in for him should he become available.
