EGBFitness Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Dembele of Rennes http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/sport/football/Premiership/article1686271.ece?CMP=OTH-gnws-standard-2016_04_09 Was just about to post this. If we sign him my head will explode! This kid is the real deal! Apparently every club in Europe is after him and he is tipped to win a ballon D'or in the future. The kid is a real class act and is also two footed. Apparently you have to convince his mum over his future, surely a heft pay rise, premier league football with the champions, champions league football and the rise of both Mahrez & Kante could put us in the driving seat.

Ric Flair Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 I think we'll sign some of europe's best young players this summer, why would t you want to come here and make history? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 It's funny how quickly people forget. Matty James was brilliant for us last year. Let's not write him off for no good reason. As for King, when has he ever let us down? It's funny how quickly people forget. Matty James was brilliant for us last year. Let's not write him off for no good reason. As for King, when has he ever let us down? Yes James was good for us, in a season in which we spent the majority of it at the bottom of the table and only finished 14th. If we're competing in the champions league we need better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Barry Hammond Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Yes James was good for us, in a season in which we spent the majority of it at the bottom of the table and only finished 14th. If we're competing in the champions league we need better. A lot of the side playing today contributed to that 14th placed finish - you suggesting they're not good enough as well? Perosnally, I think it's stupid to completely right off the guy at this stage, given any player can improve dramatically in the right circumstances. Let him recover from his injury / get some game time under his belt and then make a more informed judgement - if Danny and N'golo go to the Euro's we'll need a couple of midfielders to start for them next season anyway.

Fair point, but do you really want James as third or fourth choice next season, right now? Or would you hope for someone better?And I'm not writing him off, I'd like him to stay but I'd prefer more choices in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can I even make a judgement right now? He hasn't played! Put it this way - he's likely to be in the squad, so I'm fine by that - then it's down to the manager what role he plays. What you're saying about James right now, a lot of people were saying about Drinkwater at the start of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm not writing him off, I'd like him to stay but I'd prefer more choices in midfield. I really like James so hope he can make his mark at the club again. He will get his chance next season as he is well thought of by the staff and players. I think we will struggle to find anyone better than Matty to be happy with being 3rd/4th choice next season even if we are champions and in the CL. Better experienced players that are happy on the bench are usually in the decline of their career path and on big wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticMrFox&Son Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 FireFox, if he does choose Leicester (I doubt it) then we will have a real star on our books. Pretty much every big club in Europe is tracking him. Hopefully the way Mahrez and Kante have developed this year will make him consider us as the right move. Fingers crossed ....

EGBFitness Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 How can people judge James' future at the club!? He has always been a good player for us. It's unfortunate how his season ended last year with a very serious injury. I think until pre-season you will be able to judge more on James' future to see how strong he comes back, I'm sure with the success of the team, depth with Inler and King and James still being in the early stages of his career the management would rather not rush his return to first team football and ensure he is fully 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artursteppe Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Idk why, but 16m for a 19 year old leaves a bad taste in my mouth. If in two years time he is worth £50 million, it leaves a really good taste in my mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdb Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Dembele looked insane when I saw him the other week (albeit on EFS). Would be delighted if we signed him - young and hungry attacking players would be sweet, and a French mate for N'Golo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecdysiast Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Realistically, it looks like Marhez is leaving in the Summer. This young player looks like an ideal replacement. Fingers-crossed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costock_Fox Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Idk why, but 16m for a 19 year old leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Spurs paid double for Lamela, for someone highly rated and 19 this isn't a huge amount. Imagine how much Deli Alli would cost to buy now, more than this guy.

americanfox Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Idk why, but 16m for a 19 year old leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He is also arguably one of the most talented young players in the world. Embolo would cost similar. Pay to play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
