Whatever you're having, can I get some?

That might be right. But the possibility that all ITKs got unfair grief every time one of their suggested prospective deals failed - for whatever reason - to get over the line is perhaps more likely?

We have the money. We can afford him. He prefers elsewhere. It’s not anyone’s fault.

We’d have paid that or thereabouts for Soule. I don’t think we’re short of money but sense we’re looking for value and players we can sell at a profit (I’m ignoring the Ayew rumour here). We then have to persuade them to join us. With O’Reilly the story seems to be his preference for Italy or reuniting with Brussel Martin. The story might be wrong?

Don't disagree with any of this @moore_94, but surely minus KDH, Yunus and Praet we need at least two ACMs? That is, if like me you can't see Alves or Golding being PL ready?

IYKYK Babs and Clean Willy...

Very welcome and good idea @Finnegan Ornstein (same stable as Tanner) worth putting in Tier 1? Kristof Terreur too for sure

I know. One of Drugdealer’s finer works.

My bad - you’re quite right. Always remembered as a Norwich player, but we signed him from Osasuna. He didn’t want to leave or join us either!

Not a word against Rob Ullathorne if you don’t mind. Thank you

I love these snippets of proper Leicester!

Remembering that night at Molineux now makes me almost physically sick! Still, it was fun while it lasted, and always good to beat the Yam Yams.

Fair point & one I expected to be made! But they let him leave on expiry of his contract, so we signed him in similar circumstances to Kevin. The big difference, I grant you, is that one had achieved just about everything there is to achieve in football, and Kevin had to join us to do that!

Forest & QPR top clubs?!?

I give you certain rejects from top clubs that did ok: De Laet Drinkwater James Albrighton Cambiasso to name but a handful?

I’ll ask again. Anyone any idea who Bausor is, or where he’s come from?

Bausor??

Looks like 4231 to me?

Don’t get the negativity about him. I’ve only seen him live twice and both times at the KP he’s been the best player on the pitch. if Ipswich get him for £6m it’d be a steal. At that kind of price (<£10m) we really ought to be interested.

How very kind. Enjoy your Sunday!

I have a Liverpool supporting friend who has a nice, nuanced approach to this kind of thing. For example, he admits that Paul Konchesky played for Liverpool, but he was never a Liverpool player…

You’d think so. Posted because, I dunno, I think this is the thread for transfer rumours, bs or not?

And (about time too) a decent video announcement by the club 👏🏼
