funkyrobot Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 Don't know what we expect, we are trying to buy bigger name foreign players who have no idea of who Leicester are. To be honest I'd much rather they said no if they weren't interested rather than taking the mercenary approach and jumping ship if things start to go bad. We are more likely to get success buying British or lesser named foreign players like mahrez was. It's whether we can deliver success that way.

psychonaut Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 I thought this was a fvckin done deal just on the back burner in case aranguiz decided to tell us to go b0llox.

Cockney Fox Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 I don't think it's just that we're Leicester City. We play in Leicester. Don't get me wrong, I still have a soft spot for the place, but it's always going to be hard to convince quality players, particularly those from abroad, to live an area where the top attractions are Rutland Waters and Fosse Park. I bet the first thing any prospective player wonders is how long it would take to get to London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSi13 Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 I honestly think the Thais should be spending their money on smartening this shithole of a city up a bit rather than making pie in the sky bids. Maybe then players wouldn't be so horrified at the prospect of playing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Prussian Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 Of all the speculation,if we have made an offer for Inler,this makes the most sense. Clearly a quality player and a leader that CR is looking for. I suspect the player may be rather picky.Didn't he turn down moves to Galatasaray and Watford? Watford apparently because he didn't want to be part of the Pozzi stable who could be loaned between their various clubs. Would be an excellent acquisition if he can be persuaded to join us. Funny you say that... he spent a few seasons at Udinese. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSi13 Posted 31 July 2015 Share Posted 31 July 2015 It's not even London though is it, I've heard multiple accounts of players preferring to be based in places like Birmingham, Nottingham and Sheffield whilst playing for us. Like I said earlier in the week, it's time to start raiding the Championship, those guys will leap at the chance to join us in the Premier League, Will Hughes anyone?

I forgot we were Leicester City and no fvcker wants to join usAnother reason I'm a City fan and I don 't want it any other way. You know- nothing ever comes easy. If City turned into a club like manu, where they could get anyone they wanted with infinite amounts of money, I'd be pissed off. I wouldn't identify with them. Up the morlocks!

Not sure about Hughes but I certainly think we should continue to pick up British players alongside the foreign contingent. Looks like we are going a bit down the foreign route at the moment which is great when you get a Schmeichel or a Mahrez that find a connection with the club but not so good when you get a mercenary who isn't going to fight for the club.

Gerard Posted 1 August 2015 Share Posted 1 August 2015 We are setting our sights to high, Veretout turned us down Good, I want us to be setting our sights high. It looks like we've got Kante after a really big struggle but we could have set our sights low and competed with Norwich for Dorrans. If we come out of this saga with Kante & Aranguiz then all the crap we've had to deal with has been worth it. I for one am glad that my club is showing as much ambition as it can and not just hanging around like a bad smell until we do the decent thing and get relegated and let another Championship club with ambition take our place in the PL.

TheLittleBigMan Posted 1 August 2015 Share Posted 1 August 2015 It has been good to have a mainly british squad, pretty rare at the top end. Hope kingy doesn't fade away with new midfielders coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
