Oh Leicester City, what now?

[Lako42]

Why would a piece of good news mean the club brings us **** all news or updates since last season?

Yeah. The club photographer who normally takes the photos of preseason training and the website content editor responsible for adding them to the website wouldn't be involved in dealings of a marquee signing or any other major club goings on. Why haven't we seen this sort of content?

 

[ThaiSweetChilli]

Gobsmacked is generally associated with good news, bigger than normal and perhaps extraordinary.

so my guess is a marquee signing, couldn't for the life of me guess who though?

The only signing who realistically would come but still be gobsmacking would be Coutinho

I hear Messi is pissed off.

Coutinho who has just won the UCL.
No ****ing way is he joining the team that finished 5th last season. Nope.

I sense you'd be gobsmacked at the prospect . . .

Just skipped through players and staff twitter accounts. The only post I can see since they returned to training just over a week ago was from Ricardo marking five months since his op.

Nothing from anyone else. Not a word. I don't do other social media so no idea if there is anything elsewhere.

That has to be a club policy as most of them post any old shite. There must be a media shutdown for some reason.

Valid point.

Yes. It goes without saying but 'something is going on'.

That said, I used to get told absolutely all sorts and the club's control of its information was as leaky as a sieve. Now its much harder; they really have tightened up.

A colleague of mine who deals with a lot of football clubs and players has recently remarked on how much tighter control they are keeping on their data etc of late.

The lack of teams now being accurately leaked is positive. The lack of concrete leaks on transfers is positive. The social media 'shutdown' could even be positive I suppose.

The lack of any 'official' pictures from pre-season training or whatever is a bit odd though and the fact that BR loves an interview and a soundbite makes this feel even more 'odd'.

 

[Ian Marshall]

But I am prepared to be gobsmacked. I just keep fearing that maybe BR is going and NP is coming back for the 44th time.

Bring on the gobsmacking. We can play gobsmack bingo....

Coronavirus outbreak in the squad. Players isolating. Maybe.

Maybe. Not sure it qualifies as a 'gobsmacked' moment.

Maybe Vardy has finally finished thinking about it and decided (been told by the other half) that he will indeed join Arsenal.

It has been unusually quiet this pre season as others have stated, there were rumours last night that long serving physio Dave Rennie has been sacked.

Although if my memory serves me correctly, in previous pre seasons when there has been a bit of summer turmoil we seem to do ok.
