I hope you're right and this deal doesn't not get done

Does this still happen is Daka has to stay?

How are people turning their noses up at this signing, a striker proven at this level (who isn't eligible for Afcon) is what every Championship side needs. For those at the back... WE ARE NO LONGER IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

Tbf they are just referencing this Di Marzio tweet. Doesn't sound like it is very far along though so likely won't happen.

NEW NAME! Bloody hell, how am I getting any work done this week?!

Apparently Galatasaray really want Wout Faes and want to offer us a player who is clearly not a defender in return. Apparently. https://insidefutbol.com/2023/08/14/club-going-back-to-leicester-city-with-new-offer-after-first-proposal-for-foxes-star-rejected/615409/

According to removed this particular game should be on DAZN in Canada, can you not access that?

Speaking of questionable ITKs... Tbf, we can't all be a Gymsmasher with 1.3% body fat makin the s!uts go nuts!

Am i right in thinking that is the first goal by a Brazilian for Leicester!!! Times like these

WTF

I still think it's a mistake, the Equipe article does mention Leeds on a number of occasions, but it also says that Leeds are looking for a winger, which has never been reported in England.

I agree, for them the very best thing they can do is sell him to us (altho I still expect them to as for an extra £1m or 2). There is no way they can know if Lyon will definitely take up the offer, however if Lyon say they will take up the offer and refuse to let him out of his loan then there is nothing Shakhtar, or us, can do.

No, you are right, we would absolutely have to get Lyon on board, and offer them some money. This only works if Lyon agree as contractually he will be their player at the end of the loan should they wish to purchase Tete. But it doesn't stop them asking for more money from us as well.

It is true that Shakhtar have an agreed price with Lyon, but what is to stop them asking us for whatever they want over and above that, we say no then Lyon still have that option for £17.5m. The only way Shakhtar lose out by asking us for big bucks is if Lyon decide not to take up the option (do we know it definitely isn't an obligation?) If I were advising Shakhtar I would 100% be asking for more money from the cash rich Premier League club (except I wouldn't be cause I know which club they're dealing with!)

It really is a sad state of affairs when a large number of fans actually want us to lose a game! I wouldn't ever want us to lose a game, and this one in particular because even if we do lose this game Brendan will just say something like "great game, I can't expect too much more from the lads, they are a far superior side to us, because let's face it we are about at our level now after years of over-achieving. Just look at their front line, world class all of them, we got ours from Poundland in the sales, still it's not their fault, it was the fans holding up the strange banners, with "Todgers Out" on them - strange lot, Leicester fans, aren't they? Still, we'll take this 10-0 loss and go again". The point is, we can lose this game (let's face it, we WILL lose this game), and he won't be sacked, because Spurs are a decent side. The fact that he stayed after the Brighton debacle speaks volumes. This is now on the board, no matter the result tomorrow if Brendan is still in charge for the F*rest game heads should roll.

You can almost imagine the boards discussions on this one

This has to be straight from https://perchance.org/6bsaojoncv

Assuming his first summer transfer window isn't preparing for a season of Championship football.

Sounds pretty "insurmountable" to me if both teams stand their ground (and I hope we do!) Maybe a middle ground of Obligation to Buy on playing X* number of games? * where X > 30

Gradel?
