Post Match West Ham 1 Leicester 2

I do wonder where the motivational booing is going to come from though.

You wait until we lose.

Like I said earlier, this run will not continue forever and we will hit a bad patch. What is crucial is how we deal with that. Based on last season, it would be advisable to continue with our attacking intent and positive approach to games.

As for Inler, his recent reviews in Italy have not been that great, despite getting rave reviews in his early career. I am still somewhat wary of him as an acquisition. I hope he doesn't turn out to be an expensive flop. Hopefully he will see this an opportunity to prove himself on a new stage.

Micky, your pessimism knows no bounds.

Micky, your pessimism knows no bounds.

As long as Micky keeps predicting 3-0 defeats and we win 2-1 then let him keep up with his pessimism.

It's true that any signing could be a flop, it's a risky business and one we should avoid.

Micky the new BN. Weren't we supposed to lose 3-1 yesterday.

 

[Borderfox]

If Inler can hit shots like he did in an earlier clip, he'll be fine. I don't care if some hit row Z, as long as the important ones hit the back of the net. I am also sure there is a lot more to his game than taking on shots from 30 plus metres.

Danny Drinkwater now playing for a manager he actually likes and reaping all the benefits?

I wonder what happened when we got promoted then? He played well enough for Pearson until then. I think Brown Nose is probably correct (eugh!), when the team does well, Drink water does.

Highlights, short and sweet

someone mentioned the current value of our side post the West Ham win.
here would be my estimations, each of which would be values id expect the club to be disappointed not to achieve should any of the current squad move on whilst in contract this year. (remembering Boro just paid £4m for a 30yo David Nugent)

Schmeichel: £8m
De Laet: £2m
Huth £3m
Morgan: £3m
Schlupp: £10m he is electric and will have 50+ premier league games after this season.
Mahrez: £12m
King: £5m another home grown player becoming a young, experienced prem player.
Drinkwater: £4m
Albrighton: £4m back up to his real valuation now he is playing regular prem football again. Remember he was a regular Eng U21
Okazaki: £7m
Vardy: £10m limited unfortunately by his age. if he were 25 the sky would be the limit.

Conservative estimate of £68m for the first XI. If Mahrez has only 5 or 6 more good games then id expect the clamour for him in January to produce a ridiculous offer - with French, Italian and Spanish clubs being keen aswell given how technical a player he is.
Acknowledging that we had Ulloa (£8m), Kramaric (£9m), Kante (£5.6m) and Benalouane (£5.6m) on the bench and £4-5m Inler to join you could argue we now have a £100m matchday squad...which makes it not so surprising that we are producing decent performances like at West Ham.
Its also testament to the recruitment policy (mostly young, hungry players watched for a long time) and the financial management of the owners that we are cashing in at the richest ever time to be a premier league side.

I will continue to be negative, even when we don't make the top 10!

The unknown factor is the effect of a different club/manager/players. I do not think anyone thought at the time of transfer that the French 2nd division signing of Mahrez would turn out to be a masterstroke.

West Ham to appeal the red card ...

[Borderfox]

No chance of overturning that.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Agreed. It wasn't malicious but it was certainly dangerous play.

 

[Willlow]

I hope they add another game onto the ban as well. Sick and tired of these appeals for decisions that were clearly correct. It was the same with the Courtois decision the opening game of the season.

I must admit that my first instinct (and as a qualified ref) was for a yellow, and a red for Kasper (violent conduct rather than dogso). On seeing the replays though, I'd swap that around (would still have given a penalty).

Exactly this.

Did Courtois not get an extra game added then as that was a blatant piss take appealing that!?
