BRENDAN RODGERS has slammed Leicester’s transfer activity as his Foxes sit rock bottom of the Premier League.
A 1-0 defeat at home to Manchester United on Thursday night seemed an appropriate way to end the transfer window as it slammed shut.
Jadon Sancho’s first half winner has heaped yet more pressure on boss Rodgers.
And Speaking after the game, the 49-year-old bemoaned the lack of signings to 5LiveSport.
He said: “This isn’t the club that it was two years ago. That’s the reality.
“We haven’t brought any new players in, bar one late on, in the last two windows and that’s a replacement.

“With the greatest respect, we have not had the help in the transfer market that this team has needed.
“So these players need the supporters. It’s a moment that’s really important.”
It comes just days after Scott Parker was sacked after appearing to criticise Bournemouth’s transfer strategy.
And Rodgers seemed to hint at a farewell in his post-game press-conference.

He added: “I’ve loved every minute of being here. It’s the longest I’ve ever been at a club and that’s because of the players and the ownership.
“We’ve won an FA Cup and Community Shield and you want to build on that but we haven’t been able to.”
Leicester, who have allowed Kasper Schmeichel and Wesley Fofana to leave, have one point from five games.
The 2015-16 Prem champions are in desperate need of a result at Brighton on Sunday.
