Have we fallen so far that we can't sign players from the league below?
well they are definitely coming up and we have more than a chance of dropping down again but if we do find ourselves both in the championship next year i think it'd take a proper hefty bid to get fester to part company and unfortunately the pursestrings appear to be tightening somewhat, can you see us spending £2m + on a defender?

Probably yes. If you add up our summer spending this year it was £2.65 Earnie, £1.1 Garner, £300k Moussi (best bargin ever). Thats £4 million. I bet the loan fees for Anderson and Martin were pretty big too. Total budget was probably £5 million.

It should be similar this year.

that's fair but strikers generally command larger fees than defenders so i'd be very surprised to see us pay anything like that although i'd be delighted to see us spend £5-6 m on 3 very good players and mattock does fit into that category plus he's young , so i hope so BUT i can't see it.

Why would he come here?

I'd say with Leicester's current squad, their momentum, a sensible manager and a bit of money to spend they'll have their eyes on doing well next season in the CCC.

They are when it's Joe Mattock.

He's one of the brightest young talents in this country, and will be in the Premiership within a couple of years.

If true, that puts to bed the rumour.
