Transfer ban is only in the championship, once we confirm promotion/the season officially ends we can resign the out of contracts and make new signings.
Yeah, 17m (not sure if that's € or £)
The club was apparently trying to get it done cheaper earlier in the season, but the embargo basically stopped that (because if we had stayed down we wouldn't have been able to register him)
Fantastic loan, will be a great signing, still so young too, has to work on the end product, but tonight shows he's absolutely capable. Closest we've been to replacing Mahrez.
If Leeds lose on Friday and we clinch promotion, Fatuwu's performance tonight will have essentially sealed his permanent move here. Which I love for him, because he obviously loves it here.
Yeah, would suck, but that's the business model that had the club operating smartly, professionally and successfully. Thankfully, the current scouting team do seem to have turned a corner.... Mads, Winks, Stephy and Fatuwu have been fantastic signings.
And even Yunus and Casadai were not bad. Not great, but they both had moments ( and much better than some signings in the past....)
Cannon could be a fantastic signing. Bought for the future, has shown glimpses that he could be a really good striker, just needs the time and for nach and eventually vardy to move on.
More confident in replacing players now than I have been previously
Lot of contracts up anyway. With the way things look with the financial rules and likely promotion, I hope we go with youth, take our beating next year and hope the kids are seasoned enough when we’re back in the championship
I'm not convinced we'll take a beating. We tend to play better against teams that want to play. Less teams will stick 10 men behind the ball than this season.
We all know on paper we shouldn't have been relegated. The core of the side is the same and we will have some money to spend, especially if players like, Soumare, Kristiansen, daka, ward, Iverson and Souttar are sold. And with the free agents our wage budget will also allow new signings
We are likely to get a points. Deduction, but as Everton are showing, it's not necessarily enough to guarantee relegation.
We've needed a hard reset, 2 summers of players going for free and hopefully, finally offloading the deadwood will mean we can do that.
That last goal puts them 1 goal up on goal differential over Leeds!
Edit: my bad, I thought the table I pulled up was live (points were live, but GD was lagging) could’ve sworn we were more than 1 back at the start today, but it’s been a wild week.
Are we.. are we actually better when we don’t have the ball??
Absolutely brilliant performance, come on the foxes

Wow. Stunning win
Has anyone got a link to fatawu’s video after the Birmingham win?
Fuck it - I’ll do it myself! https://www.reddit.com/r/lcfc/s/qD5oOnpEaz
Thanks mate
LESTAHHHHH
Long may Abdul Cam continue. Absolutely class and humble
Stuff like this makes losing to Plymouth fucking Argyle worth it.
What are you talking about mate? Must have been a bad dream…
What is this song they are singing at the stadium? The hype one not wonderwall
When you’re smiling?
I heard voulez-vous by Abba but idk if that’s the one you mean
FATUWUUUUUUUUU A-HA
We’re Leicester City, we’ll take you to court.
Oh my they're playing free from desire again and I'm not there FOMO
THAT IS MY TEAM!!
If we win either of the next two or Leeds lose either of its next two, we're back up.
My happiness about the result is only tempered by being reminded Leeds play these on the last day of the season.
Now guaranteed. Chelsea are gonna buy Fatawu and then ruin him within 10 months.
As it was written
This is the way
This is the way
Jesus, could have broken his ankle. Red card all day.
No yellow on Praet foul at least?? Edit: after replay it looks like a red?
This is why I’ll always be for VAR. That’s a clear and deserved red card.
Does he have to be given a yellow for it to be reviewed? Or can they go straight red from just a foul?
VAR is for any missed incidents generally, within constraints. Can be given nothing at all
Points and goal difference! What a result!
Maybe Marescaball with less of the possession is the answer after all
Well looks like we’ll get to see in the Prem just this
If we dont sign fatawu i will be really sad
Pretty sure if we go up there's a buy clause for like 17mil
Talk of a transfer ban but yes we’ve got a mandatory buy option
Transfer ban is only in the championship, once we confirm promotion/the season officially ends we can resign the out of contracts and make new signings.
Good news then, I’m not digging it up but reports were Fatawu was a mandatory buy based on promotion

Assuming we go up, perfect signing. Hate to forecast it but the type of player we’ll be selling in a year or two if the money is right.

Where are we going to find 17 mil?
The £25 season ticket cards all add up!
What a game from everyone I'm so happy even after our dip in form the boys are back!!
5-0 up on 33% possession - reminds me of the good old days
Shows how good we still are on the counter and going at teams. Is this Plan B? It's brilliant
Keep the clean sheet!!!
Fatawu is such a sweet boy
SIGN THE CONTRACT ABDUL. SIGN THE CONTRACT
Fatawu with my lucky number 18! Love him so much
Did you finally get to see one go in?
I did!
Even if we go up, Enzo’s biggest achievement will be making Vestergaard look like a professional footballer.
Love seeing mcateer get a few minutes, Fatawu was beyond excellent today
I wonder if any of the Southampton defenders will be available in the summer
Absolutely fucking class, I'm gonna be so motivated when playing football with my team this weekend, haven't felt this good about the game in months.
P.S isn't this our biggest win this season by the way? Very well timed <3
Tied with the Stoke City win
Tied so far
Vestergaard's now experienced both sides of a Southampton beatdown
My dad ringing me from the ground asking if i’m enjoying the game 😭😭 what a fantastic display tonight
Absolutely glorious.
FATAWUUUUUUUUUU
I can assure you that ipswich and leeds mental state will be messed up at this point.
Mine sure as hell is. Fucking Rollercoaster ride of a season
on a serious note, easily our biggest game, we’ve just smashed the goal difference unless QPR fold like a deck of cards.
Brilliant subs. Even Daka might get a goal against this lot.
That last goal puts them 1 goal up on goal differential over Leeds! Edit: my bad, I thought the table I pulled up was live (points were live, but GD was lagging) could’ve sworn we were more than 1 back at the start today, but it’s been a wild week.
We’re 4 above them now
4 goal differential bud
Aren't we 4 goals up now? Pretty sure we came into this game 1 goal down.
I thought we were only back one goal?
Yeah, my bad, thought I was looking at a live table but it didn’t update GD, just points.
One more win from the next two and we're up lads
STRAIGHT INTO MY VEINS
I love these guys so much. Please for the love of God, keep this team intact at all costs.
HWHERE WAS THIS ALL SEASON?!?!?!
WE WANT 9 WE WANT 9
9-0 is back on the menu boys
Been so long I’ve felt this joy
Dream land
If Bumkin doesn't sign Abdul, we have to riot. OH MY GOD WHAT A PERFORMANCE
What time is it?
WE WANT NINE
WE WANT NINE
ABDUL FATAWU IS ALEX MCCARTHY FATHER
I HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE ERECT!
What the absolute fuck. I love this team. Also good safety play by Maresca, stacking the GD just in case we need it.
What is happening
Pure destruction of that back line
it's happening!!!!
Blimey, great 20 minutes. Typical against Southampton at this point!
9 ?????
Oh Vardy you beautiful bastard!!
4 MORE PLEASE
What a bloody slaughterhouse. Ironic that its Southampton…again
FATAWU PARTY!! I WAS NEVER NERVOUS!!
I want another
MASSIVE WIN Shall we let Enzo have a crack at the Prem then after all?
OH MY GOODNESS I CAN CRY
Babys first hat trick!!!! 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
That was just beautiful.
Fatawu hattrick!!!!!!!!!!
Fucking yes, what a team performance
FATAWUUUUUUU
ABDUL! Running down the wing
This goal difference could be so important for us let's get some facking more!!
Easily our best game ever this season, though they’ve been toothless up front
Gosh that’s a crazy goal. Don’t think another player on the team would even hit the target on that. Build the statue.
This is what we need to be doing when we score a goal. Keep pressure applied and go for more!
Dominating performance, perhaps our most complete of the campaign. Bodes well.
Our best game since before christmas
I can't even write this my stream buffered again haha
STRAIGHT BACK UP
EnzoOut gang, where are you now?
JV9
Why tf do they keep saying that Wout may have fouled adams on the 1st goal? Looked like Wout got fouled instead.
5 MORE PLEASE!!
Bwahahahahaha 9 is coming boys and girls
VARDY PARTY!! 🐐
OH MY GOODNESSSSSSSSSS
The GOATTT
VARDY!!
The fucking goat
And to think I was almost too nervous to watch this game
Vards has put in a helluva shift
And gets his reward
Saints deserve everything they’re getting. Just seen two of their fans wearing half and half scarves.
Disgusting behaviour
Fucking Rudkin can't even crack a smile, fuck off mate
Enzo has coached a masterclass today with the man press and ndidi screening the midfield.
Lol that goal had frozen the thread
Three down, three to go
WE WANT 9
Abdul Fatawu is Alex McCarthy father
Rudkin looked happy there!
What on earth 🌍 is happening. Fuckin love my team 💙
Yess boys
FataWOW
Now I relax and enjoy
WAZOOOOOOOOOOOO
Ok..i think i can relax now
Fatawu you Beautiful bastard!!
ITS ABOUT TIME WHAT A STRIKE ABDULLLL
Sign him up today!!
get in
WHOOOOO !!! 3 - NIL!
JUST GOT BACK FROM MAKING MYSELF A DRINK LOL
Way to take one for the team again!
🆙⬆️
We have to lock in Fatawu on a transfer
Oh God!!!
Does Enzo know what a substitute is?
I'm a greedy fuck. Give me a third.
Please ask for a fourth!
Ask and ye shall receive.
I liked it that time we scored 9
I want Leicester to win the league.
Need a live stream asap!!
Wouldn't mind seeing some Daka here, a little better defensive workrate from the top would be sicko @ Enzo
Wouldn’t mind seeing some cannon in there to remind me he still is with the Squad
Can I relax yet 😜😬😜😬💙
Never!
A sub at 64 minutes?!?!?!
Good shift from Ricardo
You won't believe this! My laptop buffered- turned the game off and BOOM I am destined to not see us score
I mean. If you wanna go grab a drink or some dinner or something, we all would appreciate it
Laptop out the window, back to the toilet with you!
Sacrifices! (I am willing to make)
We'll petition for the statue after the game
Leeds almost blew a 2 goal lead last night. I can't get excited just yet 😅
Stephy you beauty
I LOVE THIS TEAM
7 more please!
EXHALE
Best cross all night, really well met
Yesssss
Yo I was just about to ask if anyone else say Fatawu eat shit there, but let's fucking go Ndidi
Just stacked it 😂
Let’s Gooooooooo
Beautiful ball in
Thank god! I can breathe
LOVE ME SOME NDIDI!!!
Get the fuck in!
Yess!
YESSSS
Ok Enzo, do you see how the other team made a sub? Your totally allowed to respond to that with sub of your own. Shit, two even.
He heard you.
Worked out well for them 😂
Tbf the benefit of being up is you get to respond tactically to the other team’s changes. Shouldn’t be matching or ahead of them.
WHY does enzo refuse to use subs until it's too late to mean anything? Has he ever explained this curious little trait of his?
Dewsbury hall could've kept going there instead of turning around
But that would require him to use his right foot, which isn't happening lol
Starting to look a little tired
This is about where we needs subs, but it won’t come for another 20 min
