The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, January 2025 rumours thread.

[Rock Fox]

The window has SLAMMED SHUT
- but the PANE IS UNBROKEN

Disappointing, to say the least.

 

[SilverFox]

I agree this squad now is worse


We have probably done the worst business in the Premier League

So we needed a regular striker.
Sold one instead. And lumbered with a Loan player we got in a panic in the previous window.

We needed a defender and full back
We got the full back but centre backs are on the treatment table. that would have been handy otherwise

We loaned out Hamza, whilst not a Premier League player he would still give 100% to the cause and be useful in a relegation fight. He was already MOTM in his first game for the Blades so . everyone can see even a lad who bleeds Blue and White would rather be elsewhere as I imagine those in charge asked him to go.

We have even loaned out a number of youngsters who may not be ready for regular first team football may have given us some additional bench players who would have got invaluable experience ready for next season but also given an alternative than the existing lot that are not up to the task

Sorry but barring an almighty intervention from those remaining and a load of luck we are heading to the Championship and beyond if we're not careful

The decline started when the actual businessman running the club died.

Didn't buy (much) more shite this time. Silver linings.....

Didn’t manage to sell the pallets of shite stinking up the warehouse though

Be fair - Rudkin is just one man and he had to spend a lot of time in Buxton on that deal

 

[Payne74]

Leicester should of sold Kasey and Thomas, nobody will ever offer money for this pair again.

I understand why we didn't buy/loan anyone because they have accepted
we are down, so Leicester should have started the clear out in this window instead

 

[The Old Fox]

If we are accepting that we will be relegated, aren't we already due a penalty? Surely, we should have added now to prepare for a transfer ban.

The EFL removed the embargo on us but I suppose once we have membership again then things may change.

My concern surrounds the period of three seasons where we have £61 million allowable loss - which will stings us hard alongside the reduced revenues of the EFL, a smaller parachute payment and et al.

Getting £10M for Kasey a player that will be 24 in November was a no brainer, pure profit and a salary off the wages.
He is never ever going to be any good I don't think he's even championship level.
The decisions coming from the top are baffling.

WOTS is that the offer was nowhere near that.

It was a loan bid full of ifs and buts that only became a permanent deal if they were promoted.

As with Thomas and Choudhury, had there been actual offers which made sense, we'd have accepted.

Iversen is another who we received a bid for but club bizzarely turned down.

 

[M17TT C]

I don't believe he has played a minute for us since then and he will now leave for free as I believe his contract is up this summer.

Reportedly.

Why do folk believe this rubbish?

Had this been the offer, we'd have taken it.

Why does anyone believe anything in the press ?

This is the club that gave Vestergard a new contract so it wouldn't be beyond the realms of possibility that Leicester did receive an offer from Sunderland and they turned it down.

It's not really different to your approach of disbelieving everything you read about the club.

The truth is somewhere in the middle.

 

[HFox]

Reportedly.

Because all the best clickbait and media engagement is off the news of Leicester City's fourth choice goalkeeper.

Sweet sweet engagement farming.

 

[Brown Nose]

A possible indicator of why we've turned to shit.

I don't disbelieve everything. Just the nonsense. You of all people should know this by now.
