Speculation The hysterically annoying, and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2024 rumours thread.

So I’m guessing we do the following:

Attempt to secure Wilf, Vestergaard and Vardy.

Allow Nacho, Praet, Albrighton to walk.

Sign Fatawu. Not Yunus or Doyle.

Doyle blows hot and cold, but there’s definitely a player in there

Depending on our financial position, I'd agree. Offering Praet a contract would be cheaper than signing another midfielder - an area where we are definitely light...

Vestergaard has had a decent season at this level, but he has proven time and time again he’s not a premier league defender. Did anyone see him at Southampton?

If we offer him a new contract it would be as daft as the one for Papy Mendy.

He did well at Southampton, where they played him to his strengths. As others have said, there's no indication that he would be first choice anyway but he surely has earned a discussion of what he could bring to an EPL squad.

At present he appears far too good for the championship.

Personally I don't think Doyle is a defender.

 

[Graz]

I saw those reports and have decided to ignore them. We cannot possibly be so stupid as to repeat the exact same mistakes that got us into this mess all over again.

I see your argument, and raise you one Jon Rudkin

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I would be quite happy for Vardy and Albrighton to be offered modest contracts as a terrific pair of super subs.

 

[M17TT C]

No one should be offered any contract until the outcome of this season has been decided.

Anything else would be complete lunacy.

If players want to sign elsewhere, let them go.
