He has only scored 1 goal in seven years so not really relevant

I was only trying to cheer Westie up

Reports that it's 50/50 that he is on his way to us ... he was pretty good back when we were playing you in the Championship ... but he hasn't really set the Prem alight has he?

He was brilliant when we signed him from Chelsea but then had a freak accident in training that smashed his knee cap and something is holding him back mentally

He sometimes looks like the player he was and then retreats back into his shell, not sure if he will ever reach his potential

... and wasn't that one goal an absolute screamer against us, ironically?
 
He’ll go and murder our **** midfield tonight now because Harvey Price would add mobility to our team but Chalobah isn’t fit to lace Lesta midfielders’ boots.

Yeah that’s fair enough but the club still did it - that’s all I was pointing out
Totally take on board what you are saying and as I said I think Leicester are ran tremendously well
But they still cheated to get into the position where they could win the league
(Sorry - low blow lol)

I get what you’re saying, I mean to say that we proved that spending doesn’t earn success without it being done sensibly or with a plan (Man City like). If anything it set us back a few years as we ended up a mess with bad attitudes left right and centre like Beckford, Mills and Danns. If Pearson had stayed the first time after getting us straight out of league 1 and into the playoffs the first season back, he’d have likely built on it faster. The Sven and Paulo Sousa eras and the money spent was a waste of time and as I say, set us back. There was no correlation between that era and going up other than maybe Schmeichel and Nugent. The rest were signed after for low fees and wages or there before (lord Lloyd after).
Also laughable when the haters throw the whole admin in the early 2000’s in there. As Fosse says, nobody apart from the fans are still a constant from then and the owners now have done so much economically for the city.
