    No BEK in Leicesters match day squad. Wonder if a move is close or if he’s refusing to play/not in the right headspace.
    And Stansfield out injured for Brum.

    It would be nice if he does get sold in the next three days. However, I doubt they would sell both him and Fatawu. And given the choice, I'd rather they sell Fatawu. He'll be the division's player of the season otherwise.

    And oh look, he scores as I type.

    Fatawu needs to be sold!

    Surely someone will buy him?

    Only reason Leicester won’t get top 2 is a points deduction, and even then I wouldn’t bet against them. Their team is still very good for this level

    All depends on the size of the deduction.

    (And the longer it goes on, the more I wonder if they might somehow get away with it again.)

    That looks bad for Gray.

    -9 was what seemed to be being widely reported, which id still fancy them to be in the race for top 2 with. Once all the appeals etc come in then it probably isn’t being applied til late in the season, if it ever does.

    How's the ref not given that from that position. They've been a foul for at least a decade.

    I don't think they'll get one. Surely would have been done by now if they were.

    Agreed, I look at their squad and I do wonder how they can still afford the wages of many of them though ... Ayew, Daka, Faes, Pereira, Winks, Vestergaard, Mavididi ... all must be on high wages for this level

    Gray could barely take a throw in there. Surely he'll be off soon.

    These things seem to take ages, Forest and Everton were both found guilty of breaching rules early in the season and didn’t get their deductions imposed until Feb or something

    Why? They've been charged but no hearing has taken place yet.

    Football fans are so classy. Grey getting all kinds of **** for having a busted shoulder. I didn’t think he left under a cloud?

    He was getting booed before it too. I thought he left just because he fell out of favour?

    Odd.

    Yeah, Skipp too considering he came from Spurs. I expect even given the sales they’ve made so far, they still likely have the biggest wage bill by a distance. If they were to lose Fatuwu and BEK they’d suddenly look a lot less threatening. Just need teams to come in for them.

    Has anyone been linked with Fatuwu? Seems like BEK’s suitors are largely looking elsewhere

    Not that I’ve seen, but not been following along with their rumours really. BEK did seem like he was lower down on a few lists. Things can happen quickly in the last few days though so fingers crossed.

    Maybe these two teams are cancelling each other out a bit but neither is all that impressive.
