Here's hoping it's as successful as the old ways. The best deadline day I can remember before this was the £3m signing of Waggy. This is on another planet. The reaction on here when it turns out these deals are just a smokescreen for us signing a Latvian 22 year old nobody has heard of from Dukla Prague for 500k without Arsenal and Everton intercepting.

MPH Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 1 hour ago, ealingfox said: No issue with spending 30m per se, just think that if we are going to do that it should be for a first-choice target already playing at our level, in a position that will improve the team in the way we already play, not chancing on an admittedly long-term target from a poor league when we have three who can play the CF role already. The fact this has come so late and the fee gone up so quickly is indicative of panic from our side and gleeful hand-rubbing from theirs. Spending whatever it takes on average players is exactly the problem. Very few people seem to actually rate this guy. What does he even bring to the way we play now? He's not a 10, he doesn't play out wide. He doesn't play the Okazaki role, and when we dispensed with Okazaki to play with 2 CFs we looked toilet, so Okazaki should play. He never takes Vardy off so theres no room there. With Musa looking decent and deployable wide it looks like we're about to spend 30 million on someone to come on for Okazaki after 70 minutes and get in the box a bit. Not worth it. Are we changing system or what? No, the fact this is all happening now is not panic, it's more to do with our favorable champions league draw- owners have seen it and realized we have a chance of progressing out of the group which is worth even more money very few people rated Kante, mahrez, vardy even Fuchs. Kasper was moved on by Leeds. Simpson unwanted by QPR . Huth not a regular for stoke. Morgan plucked from the championship... Albrighton released by villa. youd have thought people would reAlise that just because another person doesn't rate someone means jak shit to our scouting network... Besides, I'd argue the point he isn't rated...

AyewJoking Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 lets be in the prem where you get 100m + every season, lets win the league and make champions league and rake in some extra cash...... HANG ON, we're spending 30m on a player??????????
adimo1409 Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 This is a chance for LCFC to make a place for them in the PL I reckon LCFC keeping their title is unlikely but a top 6 finish is for the taking , plus a quarter finals in the CL and winning a cup title this means LCFC will attract better players year by year but for this to happen you need to bring enough quality this year to secure these objectives Depth is essential and LCFC got lucky with injuries last year but with more CL games and the intensity will that happen again ? doubtful , already Mendy is injured LCFC gotta spend like everyone else to compete, last year was like a fairy tale and it won't happen again for the next 100 years

Lesteban Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 Unrelated... Sunderland are about to sign N'Dong for a record fee. Giving them a central midfield of Gooch N'Dong. Coincidently, my new team name in fantasy football.

I think Kante was on a few peoples radar hence he expected a bigger move and only ended up here when a few other teams decided they weren't paying thee asking price. Christian Fuchs has always largely been considered a good top level left back, Albrighton was offered a deal by Villa (not Stoke) but we offered him more money. We paid good dollar to Forest give what Morgan had achieved in his career at the time (we were also in the Championship when he signed) Not that your point is wrong of course, just think people exaggerate with the whole "team of rejects" thing.

I am not saying LCFC will not win the PL again fr the next 100 years , if they keep pushing for top 6 and improving squad quality year by year , they will win it for sure a la chelsea, man city ...Etc , hope LCFC make use of this title won last year to bring some more Blackburn won the league in 95 where are they now , Leeds had a great time early 00's where are they now as well

Ricey Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 Forget the money, we aren't accountants and we don't know quite how much of a financial risk this is. He's a player we've wanted for two years, that speaks volumes.

The_frozenoak Posted 31 August 2016 Posted 31 August 2016 I must admit I'm pretty gobsmacked seeing £20+ million and us as the buyer lol. Over 35 years following City, the last 2 years have blown me away!.
