Good to see they are encouraging young players but the problem is that young players at a Premier League club are made for life when they sign their first contract, even if they barely play. I suppose it's the likes of Morgan that we need to target, who get released before that, but that's such a small window of opportunity. |

Reply | Marti to Leicester…maybe
at 08:03 17 Jul 2025
I loved Marti the first season but was pretty underwhelmed by last season. People keep making excuses for him when in reality every manager gets judged by how the first team performs - not who signed players, how the Development Squad does or whether the DoF is a dick. Stephan will be judged in that way and won't have the credit in the bank that Marti had.
It will be interesting to see how he does with Leicester as my suspicion is we overrated him because his baseline was so low, coming in to replace someone who thought getting in the opposition half was an achievement. |

Rather amusing to hear him talk about us needing to become a development club...a decade after Les set out his stall to do that. Very easy to say it, slightly harder to actually do. |

The worry for me is we are still so light up top, relying on Frey (who can't play every match), Kolli (seemingly injury prone), Kelman (who people reckon wants out) and Celar (jury very much still out). Is the club banned from signing strikers? We still haven't replaced Charlie which is mind-blowing. |

Isn't there some crazy stat on how many games we have won without Field in the team? I think one of the problems last year when we had just Varane and Field in the midfield is that we lacked creativity. I don't have a problem with those two there but you can't simply tackle and then lose the ball - you need to counter. I would like us to play 4-4-2 but realistically you'd have to have a Holloway and a Wilkins to do that - at the moment they are two Holloways. So then you have to go to one up top, which only works if you have Frey to hold it up. |

I mean obviously he'll be touting for another job, so I wouldn't include that extension if I were them... |

Yeah, been dead to me since discovering he was touting for a new job at the end of 2023/24. Be interesting to see how well it goes for him at Leicester... |

We're moving in different directions (plural). It's certainly felt like that watching us the last few seasons. |

Definitely more optimistic with the two new signings, with hopefully more to come.
Not overly fussed about Marti leaving as he was touting himself around this time last year and last season was shit.
We have a great opportunity to start the season well, so it's bound to be QPR 0 Preston North End 5 on the opening day. |

Felt like doing the same a fair few times over the last few seasons.
'The home fans in Salerno immediately turned on their team following the second goal, with relegation to Serie C looking all but certain.
Flares, firecrackers and chairs were thrown on to the field and the game was halted numerous times before the players were taken off the field with 65 minutes on the clock.'

The decision on Lucas is contingent on transplanting two new legs on to his body. |
