Which he probably is, a child. Maybe you guys are used with being spanked around and not replying, but I will stand up for myself. Edited by mattteo (12 Jan 2017 9.39am) There was nothing rude about my comment, I'm a sarcastic b****** at the best of times, either accept it or ignore it. Your "I'm doing you all a favour with my guidance" and "I know what I'm talking about" stance is funny though, a surefire way to back up your conjecture on footballing matters and keep the readers enthralled.

Bristol City fans laughed when we bought Yala. Let's face it he can't be worse than award or Kelly so it's good business.

got a few season ticket holders at leicester and they laughed when i asked them about 12m for schlupp. "hes never worth that in a month of sundays" was one response! So if he does sign, does this mean we should all get on his back straight away? Name one player that is worth the ridiculous amount that is paid between two PL clubs for a footballer? You'll find we've sold plenty of players that we didn't like that went on to better things at other clubs. Luckily, scouts know more about ability and talent than fans do.

Yeaah ,,,,you probably had to much Vodka, Originally posted by Vodka_and_Charlie
Leicester fan here, not taking the piss, but thanks very much for taking Jeff off our hands. We've mugged you off big time if £12 million is the correct figure. Get used to having a 'professional' footballer looking bemused about being on a football pitch. Easily the most infuriating player I have ever seen for us. Good luck for the rest of the season.

You'll see a lot of rubbish Written about him, you're best to ignore it. It seems to be fashionable to slate your own players for no good reason now days. It's the "banter" and "Lads lads lads" brigade out in force. We're no different and this forum is full of how Dwight Gayle may be tearing up the Championship this season but he will be rubbish in the Premiership next season

Does make me chuckle with the insight of the foxes fans - he has been the clubs young player of the year for the last 2 seasons! I think the frustration with him has been that he doesn't produce consistently enough - a little bit like Wilf did in the early days. But he was very decent in their title winning season And with focused defensive coaching he will develop and improve. He is only 24 so the best is yet to come and he has something that our current defence are missing- bags of pace! Would be a welcome addition. Again, I'm repeating myself here. He won young player of the year by default by being the only young player in the first team that was eligible. He was also a bit part player when we won the league. He started the season and got dropped after a spanking as we were conceding far too many. It was only after he and De Laet got dropped did we really go on hot form as we could stop goals going in.

Hardly a good sign when his previous supporters are all knocking each other off over this £12Mil news. Maybe we need to send Damien to have a word with Brady before all 'Is' and 'Ts' are dotted and dashed. Our fans haven't quite managed to grasp where football fees currently are. I get why, we signed a premier league winning first 11 for about £15m. But it's just not the norm, it's a total freak. The norm now for raw players and someone with a decent season in the championship probably starts at £10m. It takes some getting used to. We're paying £30m for players who struggle to trap a ball.
