City1884 Posted 28 June 2017 Share Posted 28 June 2017 There's articles today stating that Andre Gray has asked for 100k a week at Burnley, but they can't pay it, so with one year remaining on his contract he would be available for £10m.......... Everton And Spurs are interested, but I think we should enter the race. At £10m we could afford to pay what he wants (maybe circa £75k a week plus bonuses for appearances and goals). The questions are, would he pick us over those clubs, and would he fit alongside Vardy as the second striker? Spurs tend to play Kane as their one main striker, so he may not get as many games, Everton will be losing Lukaku, but I'd expect them to try and replace him with someone a bit more prestigious to appease their fans.......... Thoughts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss not having any real football to watch I just want someone concrete links to talk about again, so we can all argue with each other about how shit / good the player is.

Harry Maguire is a perfect signing already but I don't care if we make 3 signings on the last day if it means more like him... Whats the rush? Ideally you would have a full pre season with all of your players,for obvious reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to have learned something from Slimani etc., right? Just throwing them in the deep end usually only works out with mid-season transfers for players that have already been playing that season (Ndidi)?

However if the player is a PREMIER LEAGUE player then surely by logic he wouldn't need too long to settle in? Slimlani and most of the "bargains" we have been after have no experience of England never mind about the premier league... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't be too much. We've got a really good injury record with our players and getting Wilshere fit could reinvigorate his career. A bit of creativity in midfield would be welcome.

bizlcfc Posted 28 June 2017 Share Posted 28 June 2017 The 'OX' available for 25 mil! Surely we could attract a player of his standard, young and an England international. No we can't offer champions league but these are the types of players that can take us to the next level. He needs to get his career back on track and we would be a club to do that.

foxinsocks Posted 29 June 2017 Share Posted 29 June 2017 never mind about west ham... I'm starting to worry about our business. A I have said before, we have a number of player in our first teams that we are not sure about... i.e. if they work at their flaws they could become excellent premier league players... but if they will put the effort in.. and if they will succeed we just don't know. In to this category I would put McGire Mendy, amarty, slimani, musa, kapusta, benny... and also james (can be remain fit?). SO that seven where we are gambling (lets' say 3 make it). If Mahrez stays, then he also has to put work in to get back to his best. So right now I think we need to buy in proven players with the quality to be top six players; WE should buy quality. Buy Micheal kean (or Smalling); buy cover at right back; buy adrien silva; buy Iheanacho - if we miss any of there we will need alternatives (NB: not deany - he's a good player but NOT top six) - so that's quite a lot of work. IF this was a business we would have a team on each one. I am right to be worried about our progress (i.e. lack of)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And apart from Everton, I don't think many (if any) of the Premier League clubs have done a lot of business so far. Of course though, we all want them new signings done and dusted asap.
