Huge shame that, it was very close between him and Eriksson for my favourite centre back. How much did he go for?

Centre Backs: 1) Victor Eriksson - Hammarby, valued around £2m. 2) Miguel Freckleton - St Mirren, valued around £500k 3) Sahmkou Camara - Slavia Prague, valued around £1m. 4) Alex Mitchell - Charlton, valued around £1m. 5) Abdullah Iqbal - Mjalby, valued around £2m. 6) Yuto Tsunashima - Royal Antwerp, valued around £1.5m 7) Jamie Lawrence - WSG Tirol, just became a free agent.

Goalkeepers: 1) Calum Ward - Motherwell, value around £750k. 2) Nikolas Polster - Wolfsberger AC, valued around £1.5m. 3) Noel Tornqvist - Como, Loan. 4) Joe Whitworth - Crystal Palace, Valued around £1.5m or Loan. 5) Brent Gabriel - Zulte Waregem, valued around £1m.

So going to do a bit of a thread on here over the next few days with regards to potential targets if anyone is interested. Always loved scouting, so thought I would do a bit of a project, scouting every position barring right back for a Russel Martin system. I will post them by position group and rank them in order. I scouted leagues which I feel are realistic for us to buy from and only used players that are realistic in price, market demand and under the age of 26 for sell on value. The leagues I scouted are Swedish Allsvenskan, Belgium Pro League, Austiran Bundesliga, Czech First League, Scottish Premiership, Norway Eliteserien, League One and League Two.

Also, was it not reported that they need to raise £100m this window following relegation?

Be interesting to see whether it’s a modest budget prior to player sales or if assumed sales are included.

Don’t forget we’ve got to balance the books, would be about £6m profit.

I’m sure his book value is still like £6/7m we’ve got no choice but to loan him no one’s offering that for him.

The best part about this is he’s talking like there’s £0 in book value on all of them. Storlarczyk £4m (Pure profit) Vieites £500k (Pure profit) Okoli £7m ( -£800k after balancing books) Souttar £4m ( -£2m after balancing books) Nelson £10m (Pure profit) Vestergaard £2m (Pure profit) Kristensen £5m ( -1.8m after balancing books) Winks £3m (Pure profit) Hamza £5m (Pure profit) Skipp £8m ( -£4m after balancing the books) Monga £10m (Pure profit) Fatawu £20m (£11m profit) That’s a total of £36.9m once the books have been balanced. It’s not hard to do a little bit of research and seeing realistically who our sellable assets are this summer. It will be interesting to see if El Khannous’ fee will be on the books this upcoming year or last years.

I dream of the days seeing heavy metal football down the KP.

Or at the very least introduce that fee’s should be negotiated should a player make X amount of first team appearances. It incentives clubs to give young lads first team minutes to protect their future value on a young player.

I do disagree about the bore fest under Enzo, you can’t help how the opposition sets up against you week in week out. But that’s a conversation for another day

The answer always appears so obvious and realistic yet somehow they get it so wrong baring Enzo.

Any names mentioned @Ric Flair ? I’m intrigued on @CruzNoir Challinor comment, source or opinion?

Depends how tough it’s got financially on Top. Do you sell your dad’s dream or do you bring an investor in. Should one come in I think it shows how ****ed Top’s / KingPower’s finances are.

Lee Carsley, step forward. 🤞

This a million times over. People need to realise as well the EFL season finishes early in comparison to other leagues. The majority of leagues finish this week, most decent managers/coaches will want to see out the season prior to engaging with other clubs.

They operate as Davidsons homes now and a lot smaller operation in comparison to Bloor homes, hard to imagine it’s not Bloor homes with their turnover figures being the only realistic option to afford a stake in a football club.

The contract is legally binding hence why the agreements are made in advance, gurantee’s the club a transfer fee rather than tribunal.

Personally don’t think Lowe is shit at all. At League 1 level he would be a very good signing and would be a huge upgrade from what we currently have (not hard). Realistic left back targets: 1) Harry Amass 2) Max Lowe 3) Fode Ballo-Toure 4) Jamal Lewis 5) Steve Seddon

For anyone who watches the development squad how would Logan Briggs fit into men’s football. Would he suit a more attacking box to box role similar to JJ’s role this season or is he a 10/winger?

See I know a lot of people have an issue with this, but this is what I would prefer. As others have previously mentioned if we held out for Rohl or Corberan we wouldn’t be in the position we are in now. If waiting means we get the man we want then let’s wait until the beginning of July.

I think there is value in not throwing either of them in that shower of shit last season too if I’m being honest. Not an environment you want to become a regular in. If Man Utd sign them they wouldn’t be for the first team either it’ll be for their U23 sides with multiple loans prior to being considered for their first team or sold for a profit. It’s the model all big clubs are following as youth investment does not count towards FFP.

Well considering he still has a book value of £9m I can promise you we won’t sell him for that. I know the clubs a mess and it’s depressing to support the club currently but at least do some research before just stating negative comments that are well off the mark. With regards to Fatawu’s value, at the beginning of the season many believed his value was £30m. He followed that up with 16 G/A in 44 games. Better than one goal contribution every 3 games in a relegated side. Add to that he’s 22 years old and capable of changing a game in a heartbeat (rare trait to have). £15-£20m is incredibly discounted price for him already and I would be shocked if multiple top European clubs are not sniffing around at that price. let’s not undervalue our top talent regardless of league. I expect we will get around £18m and hopefully a sell on clause included.

I get that but I would imagine the club is also going to raise around £30m (once balancing the books) so whether you use that or Top’s personal investment there should be an opportunity to have a good size kitty if the money from Top is there.
