Blodge Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Just give Swansea £30 and him 120k p/w and be done with it. He's clearly a positive addition that is an upgrade on Okazaki at number 10. Aren't we 16th in the rankings for Richest Football clubs? Get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blodge Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 With Everton looking like they're losing Barkley and Lukaku, arguably two of their better players, then they become slightly less attractive. But having said that, most would probably choose Everton over Leicester. We need to show Gylfi we want him by getting in there early, paying him what he wants, and telling him Mahrez and the boys are staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotTheMarketLeader Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 This summer is now worrying me. This guy we need, but he's a lot more likely to sign for someone else, if for no other reason than we don't have a manager ffs. Even if it is Shakey, is he really going to attract players to here more than Keoman can to Everton? I fear we are going to have a disappointing summer in terms of recruitment. I hope I am wrong.

Ric Flair Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Might not be that easy but we should just go all out ATTACK on trying to sign players like this. Don't piss about, put the pressure on our rivals. Price them out the game if needs be. We've earnt so much dough in the last 2 seasons it's frightening, we deserve a player or two of this ilk and if he cost us £40 million and 100 bags a week then do the job.

We're in a position this season where, after last season's joke windows we need to get off to a good start, show some intent and actually sign some decent players otherwise we're in for a very bad season next year.

OK, so Ndidi - probably the one decent signing we made. Not much else to make a song and dance about, is there? Would you be OK with just one decent signing this summer?

And then we ended up with Wague and a whole forum gnashing their teeth and rending their garments. I guess what I'm saying is that while Ndidi is great and we surely appreciate his talents (I think we'd have gone down without him) - we have a lot of question marks and the last two windows have been mixed at best.

Matt Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 6 hours ago, Abrasive fox said: Enquired about him last summer. Swansea wanted £36m. He wanted £110k a week. I'm not sure Everton will pay that tbh - and we're better off trying to get this done early, before Everton get the Lukaku money. We spent £30m on Slimani...using that logic £36m is a snip, a bargain! Mahrez wants to leave, as people know I question who'd be interested for the money we're asking/the money he's asking, but should someone take him, that £100k a week off the books so we're spending an extra £10k a week. At the figures you're quoting I see no problems. Do it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JP the Fox Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Along with players we want waiting to see who our gaffer will be and players like Sigurdsson possibly ending up choosing "Bigger" clubs...I think the worrying thing about this window will be tryin to shift the dead wood we have in the squad. E.g: Salami, Musa, Mendy. Along with keeping Vardy, KS, Drinky and Gray. We haven't heard even a whisper about anyone wanting to buy the unwanted players, they cost over £50 million all together and the owners will want to see some cash coming our way before shelling out £40 mill on Gylfi! Plus we'll get about £40 million for Riyad ? Let's hope come June 30th we have every Chinese club trying to sign Islam, Ahmed and Nampalys. Although probably unlikely thanks to their new tax ruling ?

EGBFitness Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Has any club made any signings yet? Technically the season has only just finished with Champions League and FA Cup, I'm sure a lot of managers/players etc will currently be away. I'm sure a lot of rumours will be recycled from previous or loose links heard through a 'source'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was quoted in a couple of newspapers as being so. but what is it you are hoping for? kami posting an interview outside the Swansea training ground on sky sports news with Gylfi saying " yeah Leicester have made an offer, I have agreed personal terms, I just am waiting to see who's got the gig there." thats just not how it works. For one thing our owners would be against that- it would alert all interested parties letting them know they just need to find out how much we have offered him and they need to up their offer...
