Carl the Llama Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 He is also arguably one of the most talented young players in the world. Embolo would cost similar. Pay to play... Is that what we're doing this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
americanfox Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Is that what we're doing this season? Well compared to others, not really.. But how probable is it that you'll find another Mahrez at 400k£? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinclaros Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4b6GxASTl0&nohtml5=False I have watched this guy for a while. However I am not sure we can afford him. I am pretty sure he could play almost all positions on the pitch. Embolo and Dembele Ousamane are both amazing prospects, I watched Dembele train in person and he was something else. If he moves to the Prem he will probably go with Arsenal but if there is any chance, we would be stupid not to inquire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me personally?  Not very.  The clubs scouting department?  Still not likely because Riyad's a unique case.  The real question us fans should be asking is "how likely are we to find more players who suit the club and don't cost stupid money" to which the answer is nobody knows because we've normally never heard of these players until Walsh & co. sniff them out but I'd suggest their record speaks for itself.

It's about finding the right players (who aren't on crazy fees/wages), money notwithstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about finding the right players (who aren't on crazy fees/wages), money notwithstanding. I would pay 30 mil for Dembele in a heartbeat, if he cost 40 I would sign him for 40. There no such sign in certainty in football but this kid is the closest thing to a sure thing you will ever find. I have watched him play for 2 years now, I have seen him play in person. This kid is destined to be a ballon d'or player. His upside is way over Martial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mezeker Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 And I don't think it is even unrealistic to sign Isco next year. Real would probably let him leave for 25 mil. I think he would come here, although he has been garbage this year I really believe a fresh challenge would get him right back to his best. He's work ethic is also perfect for the team.

foxes21 Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Kante and Drinkwater and the only ones there that can really bring something to a game, and Kante is more than likely to go. I think we need at least one very good cm to compete with DD and Kante and then another if he leaves. We might already have that very good CM in Amartey, who could potentially compete with DD & Kante. Then King & James are two players who will give 110% for us when they are required to play. I think in CM we have a good balance, providing Amartey can fulfill his potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee7 Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 I may get slated for this but I'd take Defoe for a season if Sunderland go down. We will need strength in depth now that champions league is confirmed & with him in the squad that's exactly what he'd provide. He's a danger in sunderlands team, so in a team that creates more chances he can only be an asset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royston. Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Yup it's such a shame as I can't see him ever playing for us again. Â i assume James will need competitive football to get back to his best. This means going on loan, likely to the championship. Â then there is the question of will he ever reach the level he was before injury, not forgetting that we have come a long way since then and drinkwater is on another level, kante, another planet. Â we will surely buy at least one midfielder this summer to strengthen our squad and thats assuming everyone else stays. inler could possibly leave i feel so if james does well out on loan would he want to come back and be 3rd 4th choice? Â will the manager offer him a new contract? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Very true I guess. I'm probably looking at it with blue-tinted specs, because James has been a great servant to us and if we bring in another CM he doesn't have much of a future left with us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjetilOsvold Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 What about Joel Campbell? Is out of service at Arsenal it seems, though he usually does a good job on either wing whenever he's given the odd chance. Works hard defensively as well. Could be a good backup/rotation player for Albrighton. Of Norwegian players (really the only league i follow other than the PL) I would hope our scouting staff have a look at Rafik Zekhnini. 18 year old winger for Odd BK with great pace and dribbling skills. Would be pretty cheap also, an offer of around £1mill should be enough, and great value for money.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FantasticMrFuchs Posted 10 April 2016 Share Posted 10 April 2016 Leicester City scouts were reportedly in the stands to watch Fiorentina creative midfielder Josip Ilicic today. The Slovenia international has already attracted interest from other clubs this season. According to Sport Mediaset, Leicester City director of sport Jon Rudkin was at the Stadio Castellani for Fiorentina’s 2-0 defeat to Empoli. This season the 28-year-old has scored 12 Serie A goals in 25 games, plus two in six Europa League outings. Free kick specialist Ilicic has been in Italy since 2010, leaving Palermo in 2013 for Fiorentina at a cost of €9m. Today Claudio Ranieri’s Leicester City went seven points clear at the top of the Premier League table. They were also mathematically assured a top four finish and therefore Champions League football next season.http://www.football-italia.net/82629/leicester-scouts-ilicic?

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 11 April 2016 Share Posted 11 April 2016 I heard that a deal was all but agreed with Bayern with Dembele. However if we do get Dembele I can see us signing another striker too as Dembele usually plays in the No.10 role or as a left winger. Wouldn't be surprised to see us move for Dembele & Musa in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 11 April 2016 Share Posted 11 April 2016 Replacing Simpson,albrighten and Okazaki with Arias,Dembele and Musa would be the only changes I'd make.
