Both. I first mentioned him in July last year, then he was linked in November last year 👍🏻

We do have a vacant midfield space But I know some clubs in Turkey supposedly want him though 😕

We’ll probably get Matt bloody Targett, but here’s a potential LB option. Francisco Moura - Famalicao. Was arguably the best LB in Portugal last season, has unsurprisingly been linked with Wolves for around £8-10 million.

As @HighPeakFox just mentioned, she blasted over 50 winners past Raducanu today, the most by any woman at this year’s Wimbledon so far. Thought Raducanu let her dictate play far too often though, especially in the sets she lost, she went into Elina Svitolina passive mode on too many occasions for my liking.

It wouldn’t be Wimbledon without a random non seed in the Women’s QF’s Was thinking along the same lines, her style can translate well on grass. Overpowered Raducanu, plus she came into the net quite well on a number of occasions, bit of an old school style at times.

Sun lost in R1 of a lower grade WTA grass court event about three weeks ago to a player ranked 281st, now she’s in the Wimbledon quarter finals 😲

They’ve really dropped the ball with that announcement video. I wanted to see him and Hamza combing each other’s afros.

Completely slipped my mind that he refused to play in games because of his homophobic views 🤦‍♂️ He can get crossed off the list. Mama Balde it is instead then.

As I said regarding Dallinga, fee could well be an issue with him. Moffi and Wahi could well get a chance to shine under their new managers, but after the seasons they’ve just had, it wouldn’t surprise me if they do leave their clubs in some way, on loan a strong possibility. “Not very good” is very harsh on Mohamed imo. He made improvements on the player that I saw regularly during the 22/23 season. Yes he can be a bit Jekyll and Hyde, but he had plenty of games last season where he was a real handful.

Have admired the Dutch national team ever since I was a kid, I bloody hate it when we play them. But I’d happily see us make Van Dijk cry on Wednesday.

If we are exploring the French market for a striker, then there’s four possibilities imo... Thijs Dallinga - He is a striker that can go through hot and cold spells, his goals pretty much came in clusters last season. When at his best though, he is a complete centre forward imo. Capable of dropping deep and linking play, but also has the capability of running in behind defences. He is also a threat in the air, he scored the most headed goals in Ligue 1 last season. The only doubt I would have is the fee, I wouldn’t be surprised if Toulouse want £20 million plus for him. Mostafa Mohamed - During the 22/23 season I wasn’t very much of a fan, but over the 23/24 season I’ve very much warmed to him. He’ll have games where he’ll look clumsy, but at his best he is a real handful of a striker. He is also quicker than he looks, very capable of making runs in behind defences. His work rate is also excellent, whether good or bad, he is a grafter which Cooper may like. Elye Wahi - At Montpellier he was one of the hottest striker prospects in the league; however since joining Lens, despite scoring 9 league goals last season, he had many games where he struggled to make an impact, to the point where Lens fans were getting very frustrated with him. It’s been rumoured that Lens could well let him leave, so it’s an option that I wouldn’t be surprised if we explore. He’s had a few controversies during his career though, so he might not be the type of guy you want joining Leicester City. Terem Moffi - Under new management of Franck Haise, I’m quite intrigued to see what Nice do with Terem Moffi. Last season despite scoring 11 league goals, the style of football that Francesco Farioli played, didn’t really play to his strengths imo, so much so that Farioli on numerous occasions played him out wide. When at his best though, against PSG away way back in September for example, he is a beast who can terrorise defences with physicality and pace. Whether he’d be available for transfer is up for debate, but I wouldn’t mind him at Leicester City. Those are the four strikers that could realistically be targeted. An honourable mention to Arnaud Kalimuendo at Rennes, if Maresca was still here, then he’d be near the top of my wanted list, under Cooper though he probably wouldn’t be the right fit. What I don’t want to see is the likes of Mohamed Bayo(Le Havre), Mama Balde(Lyon), Bertug Yildirim(Rennes) get linked, as that will show our scouting team are fvcking clueless.

Emphatic! At least another 90 minutes of Southgate ball

Diallo was first linked back in 2019, think he was also linked when he was at Strasbourg too. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-habibou-diallo-profile-3501940

Habib Diallo has been mentioned in the past I think, also a Wasserman client.

French market 🤔 Wouldn’t be surprised at Mostafa Mohamed of Nantes.

Can’t get more vanilla than Matt Targett

I expect something like this. Centre back situation is up for debate. Think we need six more through the door(Five if Ndidi resigns). Potentially integrate Braybrooke, Golding and Alves. Move on Iversen, Souttar, Thomas, Soumare and either Cannon or Daka.

Watching those step overs

Koki Machida - Union SG LCB Has Pace Same agent as Cooper

Even though Okoli can play there, I’d still very much prefer a left footed CB coming in. If the idea is three at the back, then ideally we’ll need six centre backs next season. RCB - Faes, Souttar CB - Vestergaard, Coady LCB - Okoli, Nelson I’d rather see one or two of Faes, Souttar, Coady or Nelson depart in some way, get in a left footed centre back and potentially use Justin as a versatile option.

With how our transfer business is shaping up, unless we have a massive clear out of centre backs, could we see something along the lines of this 🤔 https://www.premierleague.com/news/4044917 https://www.vavel.com/en/football/2021/09/27/championship/1087453-the-impact-of-steve-coopers-3-4-2-1-formation.html

They’ll be crying into their bratwursts tonight

This is the most sense I’ve talked on this thread since I knew Jerzy Janowicz was gonna be a top player
