One of saddlebrains poorest ITK moments was this time last pre-season when he said that MVE was a devisive unpopular figure. Remember thinking at the time that such gossip was malicious and served no useful purpose.

I'm very enthused about our signing Rudoni, but I don't think there was room in the team for him and O'Hare, so the time appears to have been right for O'Hare to leave, given we hope to have signed a better and younger prospect. It's also a shame we couldn't of got a transfer fee for him, but...

Probably the fastest player I've ever seen play for us (including John Williams), but shame the rest of his game wasn't up to standard. Interesting guy though.

He looks to have a really good touch, and also seems to have a few tricks up his sleeve. Hopefully playing in a better team will bring the best out of him.

Ironically that game was probably one our better performances, although of course that is judged against a very low benchmark. Wasn't that also the game where that little 15 year old jumped the barrier to knock a cocky Sheff U fan on his arse?

Not sure that's right in either case. 'Utter dross' is very strong terminology - there were far worse players that played for us in that period. He was also not helped by his managers choosing to play him on the wing, which he was clearly not suited to, rather than up front where his goals...

If we were in fact in for Stamenic, there must be a chance that it was with a view to selling on and replacing Sheaf, which if so would make redundant the view some have on here that the money set aside for signing Stamenic is still burning a hole in MR's pocket.

To my mind the only position we definitely need another player to fill out the squad is up front, but whoever that is will likely start as back up to the existing players we have in Wright and Simms so we have to be realistic in who might want to sign for us in those circumstances. I have long...

Although there is an obvious risk of injury from playing such teams, its not a bad way to build team spirit, so from that angle it was good to see that we stood up well to their bullying style.

Is Eccles in your team ;)

Another problem with spending another £6-11m is that any players commanding such sums will also expect a significant salary. This never seems to be factored into the sums of posters (well one in particular) when speculating on the cost to the club of signing such players to sit on the bench...

You keep harping on about speculation like it has some kind of value, but speculation is all it is with no actual worth. Just internet bollocks from attention seekers on the whole, occasionally fuelled by an agent. It means nothing. By definition, in playing for his hometown club Eccles is...

If we were to sell Eccles there would be plenty of interest, including from other top end Championship clubs.

I agree with this. McFadzean was absolutely crucial too us during that period, and the period where the defence struggled most that season was when he was injured. Although the current defence still have to step up a bit, they were much better coping without Fadz. As such I'm hoping all of...

With the players currently available to MR it is fair to presume that he will start with a back 4, and a front 3 of Wright, Simms and Sakamoto or Mason-Clark. I'm presuming Rudoni starts behind them, but also in considering that we have full backs that like to attack (certainly MVE anyway), not...

Well obviously that's up to MR but as things are at the moment I think Eccles is a nailed on starter, and that Torp would have to really tear up pre season to start ahead of him.

Nobody actually knows how good Stamenic is or might be, or actually whether we were definitely interested in signing him. It appears he has potential, but if he is as good as you seem to think he is then presumably Forest would have kept him to play for them this season. Having Eccles in our...

Really? Even if correct calling it a 'massive' city is stretching things a little.

Only half a season?

Is Leicester a 'massive' city?
