Wow. Are you the boss around here now? Calm down mate. I can do as I please, you know?
You are one irritable individual.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.

You are one irritable individual.
He wouldn’t be playing tonight if that was the case mate. He’d have an “injury” or something like that.
well not really
you stated that if we don't sign Maguire we will go back in January and sign him
we will be able to sign him for 25-30 million less than the asking price now.... from a team who don't need to sell and who are quite wealthy
what a bit of negotiation that would take and the reason, the key thing to persuade Leicester to part with their prize asset for 25/30m less is that we are a bigger club.... Wonderful! why hasn't Woody used that information before I wonder - I'm sure Liverpool (who were in a pretty similar position in attempts to sign VVD) are kicking themselves they didnt save a pile of cash by negotiating in a similar manner
the idea of conducting a transfer deal in that way is as plausible as swapping the family cow for a bag of magic beans pal
that just cost us another 5 million
Come on now...
Surely we can’t be any where close to a deal for him if he’s played tonight?!
sorry i was taking the piss. Usually I would ask if that wasnt obvious but i think its fair to say hyperbole and sarcasm isnt very obvious these days
How is that when they have billions? Or is it an FFP thing?
They are doing a sterling job of pretending they have a budget to balance

I hear you.
These are indeed difficult times, my friend.Thanks for correcting him, that drove me nuts but didn't wanna be an arse
Did you just call me an arse?
Typical, come here for transfer news and see our fans getting mugged off by Leicester supporters.
Grim times being mocked by a rubbish club like Leicester.Typical, come here for transfer news and see our fans getting mugged off by Leicester supporters.
How has he been promoted, every post I've seen of his is just attacking people
There aren't many posters whose name you remember on here. But he's certainly stood out for dreadful reasons.
FFP I think
Badge kissing, never wanted to leave after all. Leicester is where the future is..etc etc
Your assessment of our capacity to challenge is probably correct but I’m note sure that a couple of our players, our management, our sponsors and our supporters agree with your solution.
Most of them seem alright, but i'm pretty sure at least 3-4 of them are duplicate accounts of the same guy though. At least one of them pops into this thread hourly to spout the same, we hold all the cards, we won't be bullied etc. nonsense.
Do I know you mate? You seem to take almost all my posts personally. I don't mind it though, whatever floats your boat. At least say what the issue is, it would make it easier to resolve it.
That VP guy basically told me to feck off and I'm the one that is irritable?
At least be fair when you try to take the moral high ground. It's funny, I really enjoy most of your posts to be honest. Seems like the feelings aren't mutual though, that's a shame.Why are you taking everything I say so literal? It's just a theory of mine that I believe in. Leicester will not do as well as everyone thinks in the upcoming season and Maguire will be a lot more likely to push for a transfer, bringing the price down.
It's not something unheard of or unseen, maybe you don't believe it will happen but what's wrong in me having such an opinion? I think this is what the forum is for, expressing each others' views.
Do you personally want us to overpay by a big margin now so we get Maguire? I honestly don't know what's the best solution for our club but just want us to get it over with all this speculation.
I also prefer to back our club against the rest, might be irrational sometimes but I'd like to be positive about more things, especially since I back Ole 1000%.

top 4 PL finish for 4 years generates at least £200 million probably closer on double that depending on how far we go in the CL and the brand exposure so, IF Maguire guarantees top 4 for 4 years that effectively means paying £80 million to receive at least £200 million, I ain't no fancy big city banker but I got a reckoning that might be the kinda investment we'd all like to make.
If we get Maguire that’s a very decent back five we’ve got assuming we start with DDG, AWB, Lindelof, Maguire and Shaw.
Bloody strange pre-season for Leicester. Here we are travelling to meet our worldwide fan base in Australia, Singapore, Shanghai - playing against the likes of Leeds (yeah so what), Inter Milan, Spurs, AC Milan.
Meanwhile Leicester’s prep is:
Scunthorpe (a)
Cheltenham (a)
Cambridge (a)
Stoke (a)
Atalanta (h)
Possible fixture with Rotherham also.
Looks like a real test. Lots of coach miles for Harry though.
We did the globe trotting thing and it was a really shitty preseason for us, this works better.
We do a post season PR tour to Thailand every year though
I bet if managers were honest they’d rather stay in Europe themselves
Why do you think a longer negotiation makes us drop the price, you talking like the old days where we would need the money. Also there is a deadline before the end of the transfer window, I dont know when it is but you wont be able to buy him at the last minute as rodgers wants his squad settled before then.
A maguire transfer request might remove his loyalty bonus from the fee but thats it, the problem for you guys though it seems he doesnt want to put a request in.
Yes, surprised you didn’t do a pre-season in Thailand this year given the circumstances. Thought you may have tested yourselves above League 2 level though. Strange.
Good luck though, whatever happens to Harry.
I think we will surprise everyone with how strong that foundation may become for us. The only issue is it should have been done sooner so Ole could integrate the new players more efficiently.
We are we have 2 games on Saturday against Stoke and Rotherham, both sides looking to play 90 mins finishing with a home game vs Atalanta
We had a similar pre season in 2015-16 results don’t matter it’s about fitness and learning the tactical plan
Funnily enough there was an interview on the BBC website about this the other day and the conclusion was that these low key pre seasons normally are more beneficial when the real games start. The globe trotting high profile dog and pony shows that some of the big clubs are doing every year now can have a negative effect and with the buggering about with time zones etc. you end up with players tired and a bit flat for the opening couple of league games and not in a good routine at home.
I agree mate. Just surprised me that you’d take on such low opposition to gain fitness and learn tactics.
Anyway. I think you will keep Harry, will have a big push for the top 6 this season. All the best.
Maguire doesn't need to formally hand in a request in order to push his move through. He can express his dissatisfaction in other ways and compromise Leicesters stubbornness on price. Its not ideal but its a plausible option for him if he becomes worried that his club aren't letting him go.
If he did express dissatisfaction it would be best to sell this window. Its not good for the squad to keep him around when you've damaged ties a bit.
Leicester are in the right to hold a solid stance over Harry and it's essentially his influence which is giving the club a stronger foot to stand on. Leicester have their valuation but 100% that extra 10 odd million they are squeezing out is due to the players incompetence to cause a fuss.
images of Maguire trying to cause a fuss but being hampered by his incompetence, his slabhead and his inflatable unicorn.Didn't LVG say he didn't like the day Utd organised their pre season games. Or was it Jose. Anyway, I agree. Why not have a couple against low level opposition, then maybe 3 or increasing difficulty. Must be shit having to travel to Asia to get fit. We only it for the promotional aspect.
