gurujuan Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Several Leicester U23 players are being made available for loan, George Hirst among them. Based on an assumption that we might actually sign a target man, we are likely to need somebody in reserve as a back up target man. We are unlikely to bring in an experienced forward to fulfil an understudy role, so George Hirst would fit the bill nicely 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought we'd have at least one through the door by now. Don't understand the issue getting the Windass deal done. If there wanting 500k why haven't we stumped up? It's nothing in today's market. Doubt anyone who signs this week will start at weekend anyway but defo need get numbers in sharpish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sMacLean Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 For a few million we could have got in 4 or 5 promising lower league players. I wonder if Monk is getting as frustrated as the fans on this. Beattie has it easy, just one 'striker' to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eaton_Swfc Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 What's all this only 1 forward malarkey? Rhodes retired 2 years ago. He plays like a fan who's won a competition. The thought he'll get minutes this season terrifies me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps his job after a horrendous second half of the season with the promise of a fresh start and new team. Backed by chairman by getting his own staff in then here we are one week until new season starting on -12 and he’s only got the one striker who looks like he’s shot to bits. Talk about working with your hands tied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WalthamOwl Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 With each day that is going by it is getting more and more annoying and worrying that we still haven’t bought a couple of strikers in. I honestly can’t believe we have 1 striker and the season is so close to starting. Really does seem so amateurish they way this club is run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm annoyed but not shocked. It was totally expected - 12 does nothing to attract players, money does and we don't seem to have much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be a master plan, must be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rogerwyldesmullet Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 Compare our possible starting 11 with the team that was in the play off final and only Barry Bannan gets in the 2016 team. This squad is relegation fodder before you subtract 12 points. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Pieman Posted September 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 1, 2020 Just logged on for a quick read and already lost the will to live... Over the last 15 years, I have seen the slow deterioration of three really important qualities of life: patience, tolerance and selflessness. The internet has brought so much to our lives, but my God, it hasn’t half changed some things for the worse.... 8 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

striker Posted September 1, 2020 Share Posted September 1, 2020 I cant recall us actually being linked with a center forward yet? Some rumours about wingers, wide forwards, but nobody to fill that gaping void up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
