There is risk attached to any transfer. Some will be a success and some won't. Until recently we have had more successes than not. Some of our more recent signings have not been so successful so I would rather we are very thorough and diligent when spending multi-millions on new recruits. You talk about £10-15m as if it is a throwaway amount and you are quite happy to add player after player to your high priced fantasy wish list which realistically is not going to happen IMO. Could be just my opinion but I find it quite tedious when I open up the forum to see if there is anything interesting to read and all I can find is your nonsensical drivel at the top of of almost every thread.

AKCJ Posted 4 June 2017 Share Posted 4 June 2017 If we finish the summer with Sigurdsson in our midfield, a centre half or two and (should he leave) a decent Mahrez replacement then I honestly can see us pushing for the Europa spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Come on now, that's a bit harsh. This is the most speculative, deliberately pie-in-the-sky thread in a section of the forum dedicated to rumours and wishlists. Give the bloke some slack.

Fair enough but sometimes you need to see a bit of varying opinion rather than the same person commenting all the time on every thread or subject. I'm sure AmarteyAndChill has some valid points but quite often it seems like overkill with uneducated opinions. Just saying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if he is unproven then of course it would be a risk. Every signing for that matter has an element of risk. Where do you do your scouting then? Personally I don't get much chance to go over to Montpellier, so unless we watch these guys on you tube or other media, threads like this would be pretty pointless or non-existent. 15 hours ago, chicagofox said: I know nothing about the guy.

The Guvnor Posted 6 June 2017 Share Posted 6 June 2017 Chris Smalling, Sigurdsson, if Mahrez leaves then time for Gray to step in wouldn't be a bad start to proceedings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 6 June 2017 Share Posted 6 June 2017 - Chris Powell as assistant to Shakespeare. - Claudio back as DoF ? - Mahrez & Zieler the only significant players to leave. - Decent back-up keeper (one who ishappy to sit on bench). - Promote a young right back from the youth (Darnell Johnson). - Kara Mbodji / Acerbi / Maguire. - Adrian Silva. - Sigurdsson.

JP the Fox Posted 6 June 2017 Share Posted 6 June 2017 Callum Wilson from Bournemouth? Start of last season (15/16) he was on fire and kept Josh King on the bench, then he got injured and is almost the forgotten man there with Defoe coming in as well now. If we can get him fit and firing again he would be a different option up top and pretty cheap too? I'm against getting another midfielder. We'll start Drinky and N'didi every game and then we'll have Amartey, Kingy, Mendy (If we can keep him fit), Hamza and Matty James? Kaputska needs more game time especially when Riyad goes, not signing a marquee player to replace mahrez is the only way we'll keep Gray too. Then we just need a right back (As much as Simmo improved after Shakey came in, he's still a liability) I'm thinking Callum Chambers from Arsenal or Billy Jones from Sunderland and Adam Smith from Bournemouth? And of course a Centre back. I say swallow the pride and get our kid Liam Moore back from Reading! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
