DHL are not a nice moral company

Pretty much every deal is undisclosed by clubs these days Reporters have it as somewhere in the range of £3m - £5m

https://www.lcfc.com/news/4052404/leicester-city-sign-highly-rated-midfielder-michael-golding?lang=en Exciting young midfielder Michael Golding has agreed terms for a transfer to Leicester City from Chelsea. The highly rated 18-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Foxes, having carved out an excellent reputation thanks to his performances for Chelsea’s Under-18s and Under-21s side in recent seasons. Speaking to Foxes Hub, he said: “I’m really looking forward to making leaps and bounds in my career here at Leicester and working hard to help the team as much as I can. “Obviously the history of the Club speaks for itself; there are great players here and I’m looking to soak up as much information as I can from the senior players, to learn from the staff and hopefully have a great season.” The Kingston-born midfielder, who joined Chelsea at age of 12 from AFC Wimbledon, made his senior debut as a substitute in a January 2024 FA Cup Third Round tie at home to Preston. Golding’s potential has also been recognised at international level, having been capped by England Under-16s, Under-17s and Under-18s. He captained the team at the UEFA Under-17s European Championships and would go on to play at the FIFA Under-17s World Cup in November 2023. He will link up with his new team-mates at Seagrave on Monday as the Club’s teams return to pre-season training.

I mean with both wingers as well. (without one of them being shoved at wing back)

But that 343 wouldn't let you include an attacking mid like O'Riley or O'Hare who we are being linked with

I do wonder what system Cooper is mainly planning on starting with now we are being linked with a couple of attacking mids - as it does worry me slightly what it could mean for Fatawu and Mav as with a back 5 system you can't really get both wingers AND an attacking mid in there Could it be a back 4? Hermansen Ricardo, Faes, Okoli, Kristiansen Winks, Ndidi Fatawu, O'Riley, Mavididi Vardy

He would be a brilliant signing, unfortunately I highly doubt we can afford to buy him

Yeah going Friday to Sunday Driving over getting the ferry from Dover into Calais Got a hotel booked about a 15-20 minute drive away from the stadium - we were originally going to stay in Calais but didn't fancy the idea of then having to drive into Lens and finding somewhere to park during the match etc. where as now we can just get a taxi

I'm not worried about the deal - both Sporting and Fatawu himself have confirmed it Club probably just doing some stupid announcement video for him I don't think the club / Cooper would be able to get out of it either

Yes, thankfully

Below is from back in March https://sheffunitedway.co.uk/2024/03/06/could-sheffield-united-revisit-deal-for-striker-they-once-scouted/ According to transfer insider Ben Jacobs, via caughtoffside, a number of Premier League clubs are keeping close tabs on Diallo. Brentford, Burnley and Fulham have been credited with interest. The latter, Fulham, could see the Senegal forward as a cheaper option to Chelsea’s Armando Broja. It is understood that Al Shabab are prepared to take a loss on Diallo, while the top-flight clubs in question all value the goalscorer at around £10 million. The report also states that the player is willing to take a pay-cut.

If we want a new left wing back and Cooper wants it to be domestic I want us to go for Alfie Doughty from Luton

I do worry about whether Ricardo would be able to manage a wing back role now

Only for a couple of months, Glover joined in April 2019 and Targett left to Villa in July

Barely played the last 2 seasons Spent most of last season injured and the season before he was a barely used squad player They would also want at least £7.5m for him if it was a permanent deal

https://www.lcfc.com/news/4052284/leicester-city-confirm-de-cordova-reid-signing Leicester City Football Club can today confirm the signing of Jamaica international winger Bobby De Cordova-Reid, subject to league approval. The 31-year-old has penned a three-year deal on Filbert Way and arrives at the Club having most recently made more than 200 appearances for Fulham.

Looks like it is usually Adidas who would set the price and the club will get somewhere in the region of £20-£30 per shirt sold https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12254755/Man-United-Arsenal-shirts-risen-price-14-cent-new-season.html According to Dr Peter Rohlmann, a German sports marketing expert, the ‘basic’ cost of making a ‘typical’ £80 shirt is just £8 per unit, or 10 per cent of the sales price. That £8 includes the cost of materials and labour (usually in Asia) plus transportation. The retailer of the shirt, which is often a club, typically pockets £26.40 from an £80 shirt, with the manufacturing brand taking £23.47. VAT is £13.33, with the club receiving £4.80 ‘licence fee’ per shirt, while £2.40 per shirt is spent on marketing, and £1.60 on local distribution. These figures are illustrative and vary slightly depending on the contracts between the clubs and their manufacturers, who typically pay a lump sum on top to the clubs each year. Clubs contacted by In The Money say their kit providers — including adidas, Nike and Puma — are responsible for setting the shirt prices.
