What if McLeish decided we didn't need to buy?

We just flirted with relegation and have sold A Young. The existing squad as it stands will be fighting it out with Blackburn and Fulham to avoid another relegation scrap.
We still have plenty of deadwood to clear out and a need to sort out the defence which is not fit for purpose.

N'Zogbia for Young. Given imo a better keeper than Friedel. Ireland , ( a big gamble granted), a very talented footballer who can potentially fill the Milner void, so essentially the same squad that got to wembley twice and finished 7th, with the addition of some very promising young players who gained valuable experience last season. Oh and the defence which is not fit for purpose, is that the same defence that was regarded as among the best in the league the season before last? I fail to see how we're condemned to fighting it out with relegation strugglers. I know last season was shite but most of that can be put down to circumstances and all this 'we're doomed ' nonsense is getting old

Agree with this. Trouble is no manager is going to be able to sort it all out in one Summer; usually takes 3-4 years.

He will bring some players in the thats for sure players don't report back to training untill friday he has got to look at them then decide what he needs dont panic he will be active in the transfer market soon.

What if McCleish decided to resign 5 days before the opening day of the season ?

[Phil from the upper holte]

It will be a ridiculous thing to do and if it did happen then he's an idiot

[UsualSuspect]

I think we will sign a decent keeper but all the talk of us going for Dann, Nzogbia, Enrique etc etc I just cannot see happening.

I don't think Dunne should be given another chance, Collins is in the last chance saloon and thinking that ireland is miraculously going to get his head together is pie in the sky.

What sort of self-serving, egotistical arse would do that?

[DR PETERS]

What if Randy said here is £1 Billion and we signed Xavi, Iniesta, Messi, Villa and Ronaldo !!!!

Can't believe anyone thinks we won't sign a single player, we may not sign 7 or 8 but we do need 3 or 4

That's pretty much what MON decided last summer wasn't it?? :-)

I would be expecting this or near to it, I think McLeish has been appointed because he fits into the way That Randy see's the direction of the club going.

On a budget in short.

What other way would you recommend bearing in mind all our financial circumstances?

Plenty of deadwood doesn't begin to describe the turmoil that imbacile O'neill left us with.

And no matter how many people try and convince me Stuart Downing should be kept hold of, if someone offered what we paid for him, I'd ship him off with a first class stamp to that location (that'd be the only first class thing about him!)

Deadwood to remove;

Guzan,
Warnock,
Beye,
Downing,
Heskey,
Dunne?

So, for us to be anything other than midtable fodder, we're looking at needing to recruit 6th players PLUS another 6. Otherwise, hello to another 10/11th place.

Please Leicester - buy Heskey back!
