Leicester City ran out of time with Derby County. The paperwork was open when the deadline passed, and a transfer that was almost done is now a transfer that never happened.

Nathan Opoku agrees terms with Barnet

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Leicester City people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Squad

Jamaal Lascelles is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Jamaal Lascelles has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad

Oliver Skipp and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

9 new faces, and Leicester City are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
