And a long background in working with Academy and Loan players, could prove very valuable in the situation we're in this season.

According to Transfermarkt, he's almost always played as a right back, just a few CB appearances. I think we're sorted for right backs (Joseph, Aluko and even Coulibaly).

Saudi is 28 September, UAE is 12 October.

And Greece, where he has been linked to, before.

Yep, Drioeuch deal is off, he failed the medical. I reckon Mavididi has always been their backup - and they desperately need to get someone in soon, given their disastrous start to the season. They agreed £6.5m for Drioeuch, so we might get similar.

IF it is happening, I wonder if we might negotiate an immediate loan back. A few clubs have done that sort of deal and I would guess we'd be able to offer a good amount of games played? Better than being in their U21 team - I can't imagine he'll be on the bench at OT.

Rangers are probably no longer interested, they signed Drioeuch, a right footed left winger from PSV this week, for £6.5m, I doubt if they want another!. It's Boro or nobody!

I'm in, signed up today. Just doing League 1 teams - its good to know who to look out for in the opposition.

Yeah, obviously they need strikers. Its good both our two reserve strikers go together - for them, they know each other and should combine well; for us, it shows if one might be a better bet to stick with!

You've forgotten Watson in that lineup, I would guess he'd be likely starter - more likely than Alves, especially playing on the left, with Burns on the right.

I think you've got to add Aluko to that. He also had a very good pre-season. The big debate will be, who to choose at RB, Joseph or Aluko. I guess Joseph's stint at Tranmere, might put him ahead, but Aluko looked good in the few 1st team games he had, last season.

Don't tell anyone at Preston, the truth!

Yes, but Ballard is being quoted as £6m.

Well, he's only an inch off 6ft+

Davis Keillor-Dunn is the one! A great scoring record at our level, Hourihane knows him from Barnsley days and he'll be cheaper than Ballard (still £4m, but that's the price band we should accept, for a free scoring striker).

https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/liam-cullen-leicester-city-transfer-11088619 The Mercury agrees with the point Cullen hasn't been bought as a striker. Whether it will be DKD is another matter, but it is certainly a possibility.

I think it will be Cullen. Our 'statement signing' - ie we paid money for him - and he's probably the most experienced (outfield) player we'll have left, when the 'old guard' have gone. Martin clearly also loves him from Swansea days.

Spot on OtF. I don't think many on here have picked up the fact that he's a LEFT footed attacking player - and we don't have any others in the squad - so a crucial signing. Finally, a replacement for KDH. Also, so little chat on here about the likelihood of Mavididi going this Summer? I would have thought it, a distinct possibility. If so, we do need a replacement for that left side. And a left footed Cullen doesn't necessarily mean the loss of Alves from the team.

And of course Conor Hourihane will know him when he was at Barnsley, so he could well be the candidate.

A Leicester connection of course, with his Dad, one of our better loan signings. He hasn't got a great scoring record, but OK.

Another example of our rubbish club website. The Media team have not been up to speed, for so long now.

No, just on the club's Twitter / X page, but I can't copy that.
