Look out for big spenders

Leicester City,

Schmeical, danns joining and mackail-smith may be going there. These are quality players.

Early prediction....Leicester to get promoted....maybe?

Very true. We have to be wise and go for quality which I know we are doing. But it's getting the balance right I suppose between splashing the cash and winning instead of trying to buy our way out of this division.

Kasper is ok but had his faults, danns almost relegated and smith was relagated.
In truth all good players but won't guarantee anything.

i believe its all down to the manager in this league.you got swansea and norwich who had poor teams and tbh QPR's wasnt the best they had 3-4 players who were very good players.
aslong as you got a manager who can fire your players up and tactically good. you got a chance. if you got a good team then your laughing.
thats why i believe this year will be different aslong as we have a big enough team. :ayatollah:

Not with Sven in charge. He's a relic. They've lost quite a few loanees like us though. Vincent Tan is far richer than Mandaric anyway. Keep the faith :-)

I think when we played them last season they had more loans playing then we did, which like us have all gone. They have replaced Yakubu with Mackail-Smith which is not as good, Ricardo with Kasper which is about same. They have lost 2 of their first choice back 4 they need to replace, they still need a lot more signings to be in the hunt for auto's - but I do think they will sign a lot more.

Mandaric left them ages ago. Think he's at Wednesday.

Thanks for pointing out my ignorance. I'd still rather have our fresh prince of Bellshill compared to Sven though!
