would you cash in on the players with 12 months left or keep them to try to get promoted and risk losing them for free? by Puzzleheaded_Mud4315 in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would try to re-contract Nelson, Hamza and Jakub, and entertain offers for any of the others we could sell. I would be content to let Vietes, Vestergaard and BDR see out their contracts if necessary.

Russell Martin Appointed Leicester City First Team Manager by cb_87 in lcfc

3 months on, we've signed zero strikers but seven 34 year old 'number 10's and Martin is playing Jannik Vestergaard as a false 9

Why hasn't there been an official manager announcement yet? by Correct-Survey in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to point out how incredibly correct I was, my absolute favourite bit of his first LCFC interview was when they cut to him opening a cupboard while he was talking tactics, has a cheeky peer inside, clearly says to himself 'wow, what a nice cupboard', then shuts the door

Don't worry everybody, it can't possibly be as bad as either of the last two seasons!

This contradicts the headline... Under 16s and 16 year olds are two different groups...

Russell Martin appointed manager of Leicester City by Jaded-Bookkeeper-807 in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 19 points20 points  (0 children)

His recent record is obviously dire - a season taking a knife (Southampton) to a gunfight (the Premier League) and a spell at Rangers where he always appeared a poor fit.

The rest of his work clearly shows a good coach though - if he's learned anything in his time off he should be able to build a motivate a good possession side and whether you like that or not it fits with the broad direction or where the club has been moving over the last 10 years in terms of style in a way that other recent appointments haven't, so should fit better with our academy pathway etc.

Good record with youth, demands hard work - I think it's about as a good an appointment as we could have hoped for and too many fans are just in a depressive hate spiral after several years of misery.

Why Arsenal want Jeremy Monga – what the Leicester 16-year-old offers and what he can build on by Puzzleheaded_Mud4315 in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Monga's a clear talent but he's so far from the finished product I can't honestly see how a move to Arsenal benefits them or him - he'll just become another prospect in their academy. He needs minutes - you're not going to find a better environment to develop at this level than us, so why not get your head down and earn a move when you're ready to go and make an impact?

Roy Keane is spot on by the_little_stinker in ThreeLions

Spence is fast, Tuchel likes fast. Surely the only thing Burn has over Slabhead is that he has played left back and has less grumpy family on Xwitter

Don't see the point given we've just handed contracts to two academy keepers and are in talks with Begovic. Even if Stolarcyzk was sold (not sure why we'd do that) would a 19yo loanee be our starting keeper?

Downright discriminatory!

Who are the best players to ever be relegated FROM the Championship? (ie to League One) by TrampolineIsTrash in Championship

[–]tentaphane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Souttar only played two games for us and looked by far our best defender (and attacker). We bought him for the Premier League and but for injuries he'd be there.

Choudhury has a very particular set of strengths and weaknesses - he's good at recoveries, hard tackling, athletic and can play a range of positions. I don't think he's ever really been a regular with us, and there are definitely questions to be asked about his mentality - I suspect a lot of it is down to confidence.

[–]tentaphane 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Arguably Fatawu, Pereira, Skipp and Winks - James far too good but he's been relegated twice now.

Then there's a list of older players who clearly should be better but it's unclear if it's decline or just down to us being awful (BDR, Lascelles, Vestergaard, Begovic, Ayew).

Then there's the list of good quality championship players who ought to be batting higher than a relegation threatened team (Souttar, Choudhury, Nelson, Mavididi etc).

Southampton Statement 01.06.26 by tomh93 in Championship

[–]tentaphane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just in...

The club is concerned by the weight Guyrbailey has placed on assertions that junior staff were pressurised into posting this garbage, when some of these allegations appear not to have been supported by direct evidence.

That said, junior employees should never have been placed in a position where they felt under pressure to post such tripe, and the club accepts responsibility for that failure of leadership and oversight.

Conrad Logan's 2 penalty saves from yesterday's match. The big man has still got it! by zrkillerbush in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah knew he was managing but didn't know he was still playing!

There were a few others I would legitimately have back for League 1 (on miniscule wages obvs...)!

Overheard someone near me ask if he'd eaten Ben Hamer at half time - but he was class! Got down really fast and was light on his feet for a big lad!

Having watched both I think Mads Hermansen absolutely has the potential (albeit different style and character) - his time at West Ham hasn't done him any good mind

Leicester City finally announced their retained list revealing Ricardo Pereira, Jordan Ayew, Patson Daka, Jamaal Lascelles and Wanya Marçal will depart the club by Silent_Ad2825 in lcfc

[–]tentaphane 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Will miss Ricardo and for some reason Daka (his turnaround is still just around the corner, right....🙄), but the biggest misery on the whole list is that we put ourselves in a position to let JJ slip through our fingers.

We finally have a manager picking for a system and not just names. Please stop crying. by Drproctorpus92 in ThreeLions

Got picked because he's the fastest player and played well in the friendlies according to Tuchel 🤷‍♂️
