I really hope this rumour is true, shame it’s come from such a shit source. He’s 6 ft 3 but fast and powerful, he can hold the ball up and very good technically, he’s an aerial presence and knows how to finish. Add to all that he’s 20 years old and has so much potential resale value. £6m/£7m with add ons would surely get it done.

Love Kasey and I love the effort he puts in. But he’s not made for this system, he can’t beat a man one on one and doesn’t suit one touch football. If we can get anywhere from £7m+ then sell and buy a young cheap winger from Europe or get a loan signing as it’s a rotational role behind Abdul.

Very good player with bags of potential but I do worry he is still a bit too lightweight for championship football and I seen very similar to what we already have in Page. The player I would be looking at from the Scandinavian market to replace Winks would be Pelle Mattsson. He's available for around £3m and offers physicality something our midfield is crying out for.

This is who we should be targeting to replace Bilal depending on how much of the money raised can be reinvested.

I doubt it after the ACL. In a way Abdul doing his ACL last year could be a blessing in disguise to our season this year.

Ultimately £32m for BEK is good value based on current output but potential. IF he reaches his potential he has good resale value but we get a nice pay out as the middle team. The one thing Marti’s system made me realise is ultimately I don’t think BEK is a no.10. He needs to play for a heavily possession based team in a similar role to what KDB was playing under Pep.

This would be the final nail in the coffin for even some of the King Power FC fans surely?!

£40m + £5m easy add ons is the starting point, anything below that should be non negotiable. He’s 21 years old and a game changer. We need to stop downplaying our own talents.

We was paying a ridiculous loan fee, why would they take him back?! That’s on Rudkin not palace.

It was how recent he followed which got people reacting. I think there is something in it to be honest.

Yep the exact same pattern for 3 years now & yet fvck all changes and some fans continue to back him. Literally the definition of insanity. I would like to think we’ve got deals ready waiting to pull the trigger but we all know that’s not the case. These clowns need to fvck off from our club.

Would love Pelle Mattsson too!

I would be annoyed if we don’t utilise the Scandinavian market with Marti’s knowledge of the leagues, especially in the midfield department. Pivot: Pelle Mattsson (Silkeborg) - deep lying midfielder, plays in the base of midfield, often sitting between the centre backs. This boy is exactly what we need. Grit in the midfield he loves a tackle. You can tell he enjoys spraying the ball out to the wingers. Often looks to pass forward rather than sideways to break the lines. Great at recieving the ball on the half turn to keep things ticking forward. 24 years old, recently linked with Norwich for £2.6m. Perfect for the pivot role. https://youtu.be/pZRA3eqR4QY?si=OBntskfXhSpLPBfx&utm_source=ZTQxO Box to box: Noah Nartey (Brondby) - Box to box midfielder, great ball carrying ability, best attribute is recieving the ball under pressure and turning out to create an attack. Mainly based on the right side of central midfield, 19 years old. https://youtu.be/GqSzDk4ltL8?si=aBL7wEYtCt2ZI9fc&utm_source=ZTQxO Besfort Zeneli (IF Elfsborg) - Great dribbling ability, offers a physical presence with pace and power. Provides creativity from midfield but will get stuck in as well. He’s 6ft1, 22 years old should be a priority signing. @Ric Flair takes credit for this one. https://youtu.be/N7WwvMgWP3I?si=1JJKlQnQeJ3MNN7M&utm_source=ZTQxO A midfield 3 of Mattsson, Zeneli and Bilal would dominate the championship and probably available for no more than £7.5m. Players to keep an eye on: Pontus Dahbo (BK Hacken, 19 years old) - Box to box / Attacking midfielder Jens Hjerto-Dohl (Tromso, 19 years old) - Ball Winning Defensive midfielder Matias Siltanen (Djurgardens, 18 years old) - Defensive midfielder (Pivot) / box to box midfielder Keita Kosugi (Djurgardens, 19 years old) - High pressing left back.

The Left back position for me is a priority and one I don’t think is being spoken enough about. We’ve been crying out for an attacking left back for years. Harry Amass is available on loan.

Brendan Aaronson would actually work in this system with Bilal playing deeper to receive the ball as the number “8”. Would require a bully in the base of the midfield though who’s comfortable receiving the ball.

People need to realise elite footballers unless you are named Messi, have specific styles that make them great. Thierry Small is literally the perfect mould of left back to neutralise Abdul’s style. It happens to the best players in the world. We won’t see any other left back like Small in the championship this season, he’s an athletic freak. Also, Thierry Small will end up going to the top of the game, how he ended up at Preston is beyond me. He looked special and has the profile teams dream of having in a fullback. He will be at Preston 12 months at most. The one thing I will say about Abdul, is he needs to stop trying to play it through the defenders legs, he tries 4/5 times a game minimum, it’s becoming slightly predictable and he needs to learn to mix it up dependent on the fullbacks stance.

I would have him all day long, but can see Forest demanding a large loan fee.

The fact we are playing hard ball on Bilal, makes me hope we are now in a far better position financially to negotiate and look at our own targets.

Him or Azaz would be my targets. Although Rego appears to be the choice.

I’m gonna trust Ornstein here that there’s been no bid rather than Sacha magically having an exclusive 10 minutes after Ornstein’s article.

No one’s going to pay the fee we want for Fatawu until he fully proves he’s recovered from the ACL. He’s yet to play 90 minutes.

No mention of a release clause which I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

If he starts today I think that’ll be telling if his release clause was activated.

The one thing that stood out to me too. Great feet, great dribbling ability but looks slow and the end product appears to cut out on most highlight reels which is never a good sign. I do trust Glover however, I feel the Enzo season was the only opportunity we’ve seen our scouting team be trusted with signings.
