It only changes things if Leicester carry out their threats from last night and sue the FA, the Premier League, the EFL and anyone else who stands in their way. They are clearly very angry that cheats can’t prosper having cheated their way to promotion a decade ago or so.
The KDH sale was/will...
It’s looking more and more likely that Leicester will face a points deduction once their expected promotion is confirmed. All their troubles would have gone away if they’d only sold us their best player. Perhaps we can nab him in June still.
I noticed Naylor tweeted something along the lines of us going back for Osman and Dewsbury-Hall in the summer.
That got me wondering about value. KDH is only a value signing if Leicester have to sell to us due to FFP/PRS. Were not paying circa £40m for someone his age with a ceiling that is...
This is bizarre. It seems that they were never going to be able to afford him unless they sold KDH. I think they were gambling to Tony stumping up the £40m today. Bad move.
They flew the Ital all the way to the UK in preparation for the deal. What a thoroughly depressing fight home he has.
Lots of stories coming out from clubs around certain players staying. Wilson and Hojberg being good examples. I wonder if and when Leicester will come out with a statement on KDH?
A similar story is told here where he won’t confirm if KDH will be a Leicester player on Friday.

Perhaps it’s time he called for Leicester’s fans to receive a History lesson, he is almost...
Two reasons.
One man’s ‘cast off’ is another man’s treasure. We have very different short term goals to Leicester. Whilst they are looking to get across the promotion line to the Premier League by beating the likes of Stoke away and Stains and Massive at home without trashing FFP, RDZ will be...
Also - Leicester might be able to take one of our many central midfielders off our hands too. Groß, Gilmour, Lallana, Milner and Hinshelwood must surely stay if RDH comes but there could be a great opportunity for Moder or Dahoud or even a development loan for Baleba.
Smart move by RDZ in the presser.
He won’t talk about KDH out of respect to the Leicester manager BUT admits he likes him! 😂
Message to our recruitment department and the player sent!
Put it this way, he is not going to break into the England squad for Euro 24 playing in the Championship and waiting for Arsenal in the summer.
I do believe that we’re crying out for a decent central midfielder to sit alongside Rice in the England team. Phillips is fat and never plays and...
It’s clear that we only have a chance because of FFP/PRS. Let’s see if they need to sell by Wednesday.
Personally, I think we’ve turned the lad’s head.
There is a flock of seagulls circling above a poorly Fox, waiting for it to drop and give up it’s riches (the adjacent swarm of bees can do one).
Of course you can.
I’m sorry but putting him in their team sends a clear ‘not for sale’ message out. Picking him in their squad may have been sufficient to back up their not for sale message up but leaving him out……
He wants to go on a European tour.
He normally writes The Athletic exclusives. I get the impression that other Athletic journos have to hand their exclusives to him if it’s a big enough story.
There must be interest and talking, I would imagine the Sky journo has taken Leicester’s negotiating line verbatim and published it.
I agree but I’m a little confused to why Ornstein went hard on this story. He states that negotiations are under way and that Leicester want £30m.
But Rob Dorsett from Sky Sports News implies there are no negotiations and that Leicester want a minimum of £40m….
“Sky Sports News has been told...
Sky Sports are reporting that Leicester won’t sell.

More Caicedo I think. He’d play on the left of the midfield pivot allowing WBG or Groß to play the Alexis’ role but I agree with your point. RDZ desperately wanted him but is now not in the mood.
I don’t think there is a ‘January Tax’ this window because FFP issues are dominating player purchasing.
According to Sky Sports, there have only been 13 (thirteen) permanent acquisitions in the EPL to date this window. The vast majority are ‘undisclosed’ for very little money and we’ve nabbed...
Judging by the reaction of Leicester fans on twitter, he is their best player, too good for ‘tinpot’ Brighton and the only reason they’d sell is to save themselves from bankruptcy.
They are not happy.
I’m in.
A left footed central midfielder who can do a bit of everything. Where Baleba...
