We were able to find players with workrate and goal threat in Mavididi and Fatawu though. It's fine to sign solid players like Cordova Reid on the cheap but for £10-12 mil you would hope our scouts would be able to find a more exciting player with some end product.

didn't think he had that kind of goal in him. Looked like a winger there.

Who's the goalscorer at 28 seconds?

Yeah i guess it makes sense if they sell Ait Nouri. It's the sort of low value high potential signing we should be going for though.

i would be surprised if Wolves went for him, they have Ait Nouri who is a very good left back.

We have money but FFP works on a 3 year cycle so it doesnt factor in our profits from the 2010s.

I dont think he's a hideous player. Similar to Albrighton he's good enough to play the role of a consistently decent performer in a good team. He's never going to be the standout player in a team though and we absolutely should not be paying £10m for him.

Yes but why spend £10m on an option? It's the kind of ludicrous spending that got us the points deduction.

Other clubs must love doing business with us because we love overspending on players that they dont want. You know that if they weren't already our players we would be lining up £15mil+ bids for the likes of Soumare and Daka.

O'Riley has played in the champions league and he looked ok despite Celtic not being able to compete at that level as a whole.

Would rather we take the money we have already offered and use it to buy Gabriel Sara to be honest. We already have Fatawu and if we're playing an attacking mid surely a natural midfielder would be a better choice.

Surely it's not the end of the world if he goes to Roma? There's lots of very good players we could buy for £30mil.

Yh that's a strong point, if he matched his expected assists he would have gotten 7 assists. £30 mil is a lot of money for one player though, I hope he turns out to be worth it rather than our scouting team getting worked up into a frenzy like they did with Trincao as mentioned above.

He's got very high potential but surely 30mil for a player with 6 non penalty goals and 3 assists last season is a bit steep.

I assumed we would play 3atb because of the okoli signing. Think we're going to be pretty horrible defensively with 4atb.

Other way around, they are using PL interest to get a decent fee from Roma.

Dont get me wrong I'm happy to re sign Ndidi but financially it's not clear cut whether signing him on a free is better than signing a young player on lower wages for a fee.

Congerton left Atalanta a while ago.

That doesnt take into account that a younger player at the start of his career on lower wages is more likely to have more resale value than Wilf on the decline.

Kristiansen isn't Juventus quality.

Okoli Vestergaard Faes in my mind is either going to be the next Simpson Huth Morgan Fuchs or is going to be the leading cause of alcoholism in Leicester next year. No inbetween.

Would rather stick with Daka to be honest. Sassuolo previously rinsed us for the mediocre Praet, I can see us spending £15-20mil on this guy which would be absolutely honking.

They see him as their second brightest youth prospect. There was one who is considered better but i cant remember his name. Hopefully he ends up like a Livramento/Lamptey type deal.

Matt O'Riley's dream club to play for is Man City due to the style of play so we would have had a better chance of attracting him with Maresca here. He has been a player of interest for the club for a while though so it wouldnt surprise me if he was one of the options to replace Dewbury Hall.
