I`m fairly sure that top athletes can eat and drink during the Ramadan, Knocker. Nah they observe their fast & quite often step off the pitch to break it during games. Pretty common though & doesn't seem to effect them. |

clubs and players are used to dealing with ramadan. players normally train very lightly and on match days are pandered too very diligently. stuff like spending their time relaxing etc so they don't burn calories or needing hydration before they play.

Up to the individual how they choose to observe Ramadan. I think there is a pretty solid argument when somebody does sport for a living that they would have a very watered down version of observing Ramadan.
I'd also hazard a guess that seeing as Chair has a Polish mum and was raised in Belgium, he probably barely observes Ramadan anyway.

There are obviously plenty of Muslims over here Corbs and I've had plenty of Muslim friends, acquaintances and even a few Muslim girlfriends over the years. It's rare you find anyone who doesn't bend the rules. I suspect that most end up caving into hunger or thirst multiple times every Ramadan. Some that I know barely pay any attention to it.
As you say, whilst Chair does call himself a Muslim, I'm pretty sure he's a fairly westernized version of one and I really doubt it'll affect his ability to play much if it all in the coming weeks.

This club has catastrophic injury problems and more rotten apples than a Lidl discount aisle five minutes to closing. But pretty confident Chair's religious beliefs (much as I don't share them) are not the problem. He is one guy who - despite all his detractors on here - will run through walls for this club. Shame there aren't more like him, and shame he is not given a bit more kudos for that.

As frustrating as he can be with his decision making & 'greediness' at times, he really does give his all and genuinely care IMO. |

ALL players should give 100%. That's their job and, as very well paid professionals, should be a bare minimum requirement. Therefore conflating that with debating their level of skill set would be a mistake.
So the fact that Chair gives 100% and other players don't isn't a plus point for him but a minus point for the others.
Mackie gave 100% too. That didn't make the other aspects of his game beyond reproach either. All players have strengths and weaknesses in their game, which Chair is no exception to and therefore not beyond constructive criticism over.

Whereas I wouldn't give him extra kudos for simply giving 100%, for the reasons stated. |

Chair’s crossing - dead ball or open play - is awful. Other than for the goal yesterday, when he popped up on the right and put it in early without any of the usual faffing. Doing so allowed Dykes to catch defence off guard and be in perfect position for it. Those kind of early deliveries are exactly what number nine's thrive on. Similar with his header from that Kakay cross a few games back. As Hits suggested, might be an idea to play Chair there more often. He is very right footed after all. |

Thought he done well yesterday.
Showed some good vision with a few runs and broke at pace at times not to mention his excellent cross for the goal.
Really really needs to work on his corners though as he literally never beats the first man. Infuriating. Prior to that Albert was putting in some really good corners.
All in all I thought Chair had a good game.

Was good and played more positively getting on ball and carrying it forwards instead of sideways.

Agreed. No denying he has been well short of his form earlier this season or last season pre-Afcon but he is one of the very few players in our team who you can absolutely rely on to give his all. Willock should take note.

It could be a good fit - I don't think Chair is Premier League due to his decision making but he is a hell of a lot better than a lot of our fans give him credit for and a newly relegated club is prob his level. They would have money from the Maddison sale and think he would look much better with good players around him who will demand he passes to them - he can't exactly refuse to cross to Jamie Vardy and expect to get in the team.

Yes, sell him and buy three Dozzells. Think it will probably just go towards reducing the FFP overspend tbh not sure if Chair and Deing are sold Gareth will see much of it - not that he would know what to do with it anyway. |

Would not be massively fussed. Has been bit of a disappointment and underwhelming. Defo decent enough player but his development seems to have hit a ceiling.
Now is the time to sell as his value with us will drop going forwards.

I agree with Stainrod assessment of Chair, if he had better players around him he would release the ball earlier.
Once Chair leaves then it’s nailed on Willock will quickly follow him out the door, both are game changers and the likes of Lewis Wing are cart horses in comparison.

How much was that? Also, if there has been a substantial conversion of debt into shares, that could significantly effect our FFP position. |

Willock checked out middle of the season anyway. Was a huge fan of his but got question his character now. |

Yeah, we’ve been sympathetic about his injury worries, if he goes somewhere else and starts ripping it up again it will be a poor show.

Not convinced Leicester will have much money to spend. Their wages will be huge without relegation clauses.
Chir there seems to fit. As others have said, he isn't good enough for the Prem but I imagine he will perform better in a better team. Players making better runs, better finishers etc. Importantly, he has the work ethic to make it work as well.
