Rodgers said this to Leicester squad about his links with a move

Foxes of Leicester detail what Brendan Rodgers said to the Leicester City squad about his links with a move away from the Foxes.

Well, that was an underwhelming transfer window, to be absolutely honest. However, the Blue Army should be unenviably used to quiet Januarys now, in an incoming movement sense.

Although, the east Midlands club do always manage to ship out a number of players as the opportunity expires. Not that experience for up-and-coming athletes is a bad thing at all. Neither is ridding youth teams of deadwood.

Here’s who has been sold and gone out on loan: Filip Benkovic was technically the sole departure from the first team; he’s gone to Udinese which is in a part of Italy close to his birthplace, Croatia. Sam Hughes and Ali Reghba were also sold to Burton Albion and CR Belouizdad, respectively.

This is the list of LCFC loanees from Deadline Day: Jakub Stolarczyk, Vontae Daley-Campbell, Kasey McAteer, Jake Wakeling and Josh Eppiah.

Harvey Barnes reveals Brendan Rodgers talks at Leicester City

A different type of transfer now. Leicester winger, Barnes, recently gave an interview where he divulged how Rodgers had a frank heart-to-heart with his side. This incident arose around the time that speculation was rife surrounding the Northen Irishman possibly becoming new Manchester United manager.

During the beginning of talk, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had not even been removed from his position as Man Utd boss. When Solskjaer was relieved of duty, Rodgers continued to be connected with the post.

Barnes opened up on the air-clearing and candid discussion. This example seems like an unusual master stroke from the expert man manager; irrespective of some mistakes the former Liverpool gaffer makes, as do we all.

Ultimately Ralf Rangnick was appointed to the top role at Old Trafford; yet the revelation from the academy graduate of the King Power outfit is indeed revealing:

"“Obviously it is difficult for him in that situation, where it was all in the press and he knew that the lads would have read that, especially when there was so much speculation.“But he made it clear to the lads that whilst he is at this club his full focus is with us and he wants to move forward with the project that we have got going on. As a team, it was nice to hear that and know that he is with us for the ride.”– Harvey Barnes, Leicester Mercury"
