Squad

Aaron Nemane gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Aaron Nemane has just signed for Barrow AFC, and for once the answer mattered.

Squad

Ben Whitfield stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ben Whitfield and Barrow AFC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Joe Anderson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Barrow AFC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

No place for Aaron Nemane in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Barrow AFC are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

Still no ink between Barrow AFC and George Lloyd

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Barrow AFC, another week without a signature from George Lloyd.

The clock runs on Ben Whitfield's contract

36 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Filip Lissah is in the works

Barrow AFC have made the call to Swansea City. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Barrow AFC ask about Aaron Bott

A loan enquiry to Nottingham Forest: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

Hamza Choudhury: 8 seasons and counting

169 appearances across 8 seasons in one shirt. Careers like that are not built on purpose any more, and Leicester City know exactly what they have.

Squad

Jamaal Lascelles signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jamaal Lascelles commits to Leicester City for another 2 years.

Squad

Words at Leicester City training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Jamaal Lascelles is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

Conor Chaplin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Leicester City this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Eyes on Admir Bristrić again

The phone has started ringing about Admir Bristrić again, and this time the name on the line is Bromley. Leicester City are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Abdul Fatawu has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Leicester City can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
