It's also worth remembering that CR has managed world class players from a host of different countries - I doubt language will be much of a problem.

Always helps to have a couple of guys to talk to early on to help you settle down.

[Tanya]

I hate to be a pessimistic but is that news story for Silva quoted or page or so reputable?  I want to believe this so bad! It's so crazy to think we could be going in for both.

Is this definitely happening then? 

 

There are direct quotes from the player saying we have bid, that he wants to come and sporting are happy with the bid and won't stand in the way of his development. Assuming the interview is genuine, this is the most concrete story we have atm, more so than Slimani. Google translated article:

If these two come off, Leo and King would seem to be two we're upgrading on.

Fantastic news 

[Jamiebux]

It's on the transfer whispers on sky sports news app to at a 4.4 

[AKCJ]

I think he takes Sporting's penalties.

That thing is useless, they've had both Mahrez and Vardy to Arsenal as 5.0, and countless other stories that have never come to anything. It seems to be based on how much it's being talked about, and not much else.

It's like Vichai has gone shopping for a new shirt, got there and decided to get the trousers to go with it at the same time!

This is hilarious!

 

think of the 2 Key partnerships down the spine of the team. Drinky feeding Vardy like its in his DNA and the same with Adrien and Slimani...goals, goals, goals!

Yeah I agree it's useless , was just pointing out he is being linked to us .

With this & Slimani I generally believe top 7 is a realistic target this year.

Top 4

[Tanya]

I feel like Slimani has been a target for a while. I wonder how long Silva has been on the radar? Can they both be announced at once? That would be so amazing

[Lesteban]

Here is his full exclusive interview with "Jogo" with Adrien Silva talking about leaving Sporting to come to Leicester (google translated from Portuguese, GAME is the English translation of Jogo):

Yeah I think we are capable of top 7 for sure with these pair, we should win the CL group and who knows, another bit of luck in the draw after the group, win that and we're through to a quarter final of the champions league  so exciting now!

So let's say we get slim, and silva.. I've read also juve are not willing to meet the release clause of Nzonzi... ALL THREE?! Up the foxes 

[Guest CityFan 06]

Silva as well as Slimani, wow. He looks like a real playmaker from what I've seen of him through clips. Great passing technique & superb distribution, very promising. Central midfielder who is 27 is in the prime age too.

Shame we haven't got a game coming up could of announced them both before the game. That would of been amazing.

Crazy how quick things change in football. It's unreal how excited I get with the substitutes coming on let alone the starting 11.

[Guest CityFan 06]

Described as an 'attacking midfielder' according to WhoScored.
