Why pay him off when you could get a fee for him in January ?

I’m sure Leicester would subsidise the majority of his wages if he comes in on loan, it would give them a chance to try and recoup something further down the line.

A fit Eppiah wouldn't be playing L2 football imo...

He was massively injury prone when with us the first time & it would be a huge risk to pay him decent wages only for him to continually break down...

Don't get me wrong, bar Etete, he was our best loan last season imo but it's still a huge risk as he'd probably still need a full pre season!

Exactly this - if he hasn’t featured in any of Leicester’s pre season then he is a long way from being ready to play.

Who'd be a football manager? Despite his best efforts to stop the usual end of season upheaval Jon Brady finds himself in a position where it is not entirely inconceivable that we start the season without any of last seasons back five - I have also been told that we have turned down an offer from Wrexham for Guthrie, although know nothing about the Koiki rumours.

The efforts of last seasons back five means we are the victims of our own success (and Keith Hills very loose association with the meaning of the word integrity).

I dream of Etete and Eppiah being in the same team which of course isn't going to happen but it's a lovely thought.

Unfortunately, although I have great faith in the current management team, it looks like we are once again heading for 'wait until 10 games" scenario rather than hitting the ground running.

Eppiah is fit, if he wasn’t injury prone he would be Top L1 bottom end Championship player, he’s also in the Belgian U21 squad, far too good for L2 IMO.

I get that and completely agree. The fact that he hasn’t played in any of Leicester’s friendlies throws up a red flag though.

I have not seen his name mentioned in any of the match reports or lineups for Leicester games this season. There was mention of him turning up for pre-season training though.

This Guthrie talk needs to stop, it's worrying me

If he goes,changes our season significantly.


Agreed.....just putting two and two together, why has Brady still not announced who the captain will be for the forthcoming season? Guthrie has been the captain in the pre-season games, but unless i've missed it he hasn't been named as the official captain yet...... perhaps because he may not be here?

Turnbull (free agent) signs for Wrexham and therefore the interest in Guthrie (who would command a fee) ends?

I'd happily take that to be honest

A big if! Trouble is he is very injury prone. He was available for around 1/4 games last season.

Agree on Eppiah; why sign a very injury prone player. We are not a cash rich Club able to take such risks. Not saying you are right in suggesting Eppiah is too much of a  big if. However his performance at Orient last season makes you wonder if after all he is worth the risk. If he had been available far more than he was last season then in all probability we might well be in League 1. Same goes with the loss of Etete.

Leonard looks like he may have the pass to unlock a defence, so maybe he can help with creativity.
On iFollow he also mentions playing all positions in a midfield THREE, which could be a further insight towards a revised formation this term.

A name I heard was Michael Morrison. If that's right I'd expect him to be captain (was Reading's back end of last season). I'd also expect it means Guthrie is off.

I recall this happens around the time the squad numbers are announced, I don’t think they have been either.

Morrison has certainly played most of his football at a higher level than div.2 but he is now 34 years old, could be a short term solution.
