Unbelievable

Anderson close again

Tripps having to tell the defenders to get into the box on a set piece

I’m sorry, but what was Dumbass thinking pushing up that far with his lack of recovery pace

Bruceball is back

Longstaff is a fucking mess

Where even was Dummett?

Oops

Geordie Maradona looking the business

Eales doing some more transfer business on his mobile there

What’s happening in here like..?

Your jest is actually very sensible. Clearly Howe has invested a lot of time and effort into making Almiron an effective cog in this system we are playing, and it’s clearly paying dividends. We should only let him go if we receive an offer that is too good to refuse.

Me? Taking age, contract length and timing into consideration probably no less than 25m and only if I was certain I could get a clear upgrade in before the window closes.

I trust Howe and co to make the correct decision(s). Wasn’t even a year ago I’d have gladly seen the back of Joelinton for anything in the 15-20m region. Almiron is worth to us what Howe thinks he is worth, which based on recent showings and team selections may be a hell of a lot more than some of the derisory sums I see some posters say they’d be happy to sell him for.

Hasn’t taken long for the toys to be thrown out of the pram I see?

Send that sad fuck off

Come on, draw please

Pathetic from poor man's Bruno that

And Brighton tbf

No way that was onside

Age 24 according to first slide. I’m out

Exactly. I think Miggy works really well with Trippier down that side and truth be told for Tripper to be able to play his game (overlapping) he needs protection. It's easy enough to upgrade Almiron in an attacking sense, but for team balance any new player coming in on that side will have their work cut out, a bit like the transformation we are seeing with ASM at the moment.

So glad he's managed to score in a competitive game. I know people will still see his place in the team as a weak spot that needs to be addressed urgently, but I think Howe probably sees it differently. Like Joelinton he will just keep running and pressing all game long, and that is invaluable in our system. If he can continue to contribute a bit of end product, as he has throughout pre-season and now the start of the season proper, I think he'll be an integral part of the (first) team.

In isolation maybe not, but there’s a bit more going on financially at Leicester, isn’t there? We saw an opportunity to get a great player for good money and had a go. Maybe for the price quoted we think we can do better. Why in that case should we just agree what the other club want?

Urgh, just read that Wijnaldum has broken his shin and is most probably out for the WC

Another decent set of results for us today
