I feel like today is a very pivotal day in our season and it hasn't even started yet. Hlozek and Zaha deals finalised and it puts us in a much better position to be competitive from the off. Still would require further improvements before the end of August but it would lift the club and most importantly the manager!

I could deny but I'll never realise that we're chasing Ayew, all the time.

I'm confident we get this one done but you never know. It would sting if it falls through.

A defence of Okoli and Faes is extremely scary. Vestergaard has to play whilst Coady is out.

Loan swap for that left wing back of theirs

Be lucky if he's even named on the bench. He'll have Soumare and Hamza on there.

The same issue presents itself for Fulham though if this rumbles on in to next week.

On what planet is he? We already have Fatawu, Reid and now Bouonanotte thst play on the right. The bloke averages 3 goals a season in the Premier League. Extraordinary

Makes absolutely no sense

Got a feeling we still are very much in for Fotis and Hlozek so maybe if they both happen that's the two we go with.

Yeah I really hope we get Fotis and Hlozek

Hope so too, as it means Cooper gets the tin tac soon and then his replacement performs miracles.

Pretty sure I read we were offered him for €8m when he was at Koln and opted not to sign him.

It's Friday midday for a Saturday game, but not sure if it's the same for any game Sat-Mon.

Reminds me of when we were in for Chris Mepham supposedly and then out of nowhere Soyuncu and Benkovic both signed on deadline day.

Just revisited his interview when he was first appointed, plenty not yet happened like he said it would. Pre-season has been a major disaster.

Hmmmmmmm that's actually a difficult one as I rate Fotis extremely highly and he's got more bloody mindedness to score goals and drive his team forward. Hlozek has the power and brains to link play very fluidly and in an ideal world we get both and we're suddenly extremely dangerous at the top end of the pitch. If I had to pick one though I'd go Hlozek as long as Zaha and another CM come in too as we'll need to create a system of on-runners on the counter for Hlozek to cause havoc.

In a straight choice between Cooper and Ricardo it's pack your bags Spaghetti Coops and good riddance. Will be his most fatal error of his short time at Leicester.

2 years ago he was quite possibly in the top 3 biggest prospects in Europe from outside the top 5 European leagues. It's not gone hugely well for him at Leverkusen and part of that is he's been left behind in a side that has shot the lights out. Is that a concern? It certainly shouldn't be ignored, it's a league that favours creative forwards like Hlozek over pace merchants like the Prem and yet it's just not worked for him. I think them doing so well has also made him gettable for a modest fee, which to me makes this such a tempting deal. Ability wise, he has everything none of our other strikers have had in recent years, including Vardy. He's powerful, his 1st touch is excellent, he carries the ball well, he holds it up and links play. He can take players on, he can finish, he has the technical ability our forward line isn't overly blessed with. Curiously I could see him being ideal behind Daka in a carefully put together system, that's the sort of creative forward Daka thrives alongside, like he did at Salzburg. Can he be the 9 on his own? He can if we deploy 2-3 runners around him such as Zaha/Mavididi/Fatawu. I could see that working extremely well.

Maxwel Cornet for left back, ticks all Cooper's boxes.

Forest last summer has Tavares, Santos, Montiel and Origi all on loan and registered. Only one of those was under the age of 21 as well.

Even if Bouonanotte counts as 1 of the max 2 loans, Zaha would count as homegrown it would seem.

There's more to it, Sheffield Utd had McAtee, Luke Thomas and Larouci all registered last summer

That is an outrageous bargain. WOW
