Agreed. The only players from last season I care to keep are Kdh and Ricardo.Yep. Hopefully they change their minds again.

Players on big contracts who checked out last season can't find new clubs, so want to stay...more than likely it's less about the manager and more about them.Yeah, not sure I see that as massively good news. I'm slightly concerned that they've looked at the wages they could get elsewhere and know they won't be as good as they're on.
But hopefully it's because Enzo is a world class manager and they know it - which I think is the subtext he's trying to get across.
And a few of them know they’ll be free agents in a year’s time, so will gain then anyway.Players on big contracts who checked out last season can't find new clubs, so want to stay...more than likely it's less about the manager and more about them.
No doubt some on here will be along to say ‘I told so‘, we’ve dropped into the bottom half of the Championship and are only out of the relegation zone on goal difference
I think Vardy will play a big part this season, Albrighton needs to be moved on but I very much doubt anyone else can afford his wages so he will run his contract down and leave on a free.We should be actively trying to move all these players on if we can. There are obviously special circumstances with Vardy and Albrighton but I'd still rather save their salaries for a year. I don't see either contributing anything to justify their cost to us..
Thank goodness we've got a game in hand.Just goes to show how hard the championship is. Anyone can beat anyone else. Currently only 3 points separate 1st and 24th!!!

We could be 1st or 24th or anywhere in-between by this time tomorrow.Currently level on points with Cov so it's a real 6 pointer this one.
You have to assume no player will take a wage cut. Why the **** should they? Perhaps the odd one might move because they want to play football, but even then, they’ll want a similar compensation package.Or the players won’t take a cut in their wages.
It's a terrible situation, but I'm not sure we're helping ourselves by asking too much for players well above what teams are willing to pay.
I was hoping Alves and Braybrooke would also be part of the first team squad, but not sure what their injury latest update is.
Maybe save them for January?
