    if he can get it, then all power to his elbow.

    If true, I think the club made the right decision. Wintle, other than last season, has been quite wishy-washy in terms of quality, he'd have some poor games, then have a great game. In League One, he was constantly having great games, but could he replicate that in the Championship? I think there's a good argument the CDM position is the most important position on the pitch, and if we can find a hungry player in their prime, it could be critical for us.

    I agree it’s probably the most important position on the pitch, I also think it’s the captains position. I’ll take a modern version of Kav.

    For less than £15k a week though, in the Championship, very unlikely. I think it would have to be a loan signing where we pay partial wages.

    I'm happy to go above 15k for a permanent, but it needs to be someone who is hitting their peak or in it. Wintle was great last season, but unlike someone like Bagan, I don't know how much room there is to grow and if his performances would translate to week-in, week-out in the Championship. I think the length of the contract might have been the bigger issue than the pay.

    I think if a side is looking to splash out on paying those wages in division one,they could do a lot worse than looking at Wintle,I think it’s a level where he can do an excellent job.

    Don't you need to know our budget to be happy with what the club looks to spend

    One worth keeping an eye out for - Millwall, who I see getting praised a lot for their recruitment, are said to be after him as well.

    Looks like he’s familiar with the Ayatollah!

    I was replying to NinianKnights post, which was inferring that we wouldn’t pay Wintle £15k a week

    Player of the season, and player's player of the season, wasn't he? You could imagine him and his agent thinking they were in a position of strength and that they could get a good deal?

    It will be interesting to see how much higher in standard we can get. Agree with others, it's a key position, in the centre of the spine and pitch.

    When I think back to how Leicester changed so quickly, it was the spine of Drinkwater, Kante, Huth, Wes Morgan, Schmeichel, and Vardy.
