Big money signings (in our case) usually ends up in disappointment as they very rarely live up to expectations. I'm sure the club will bring in the right players. Precisely. And it's not like we're Burnley getting in Jon Walters for £3m as an 'underwhelming' signing, we're getting the Sevilla captain instead.

Iborra will be a good signing, he's Sevilla's captain - it is a coup for us considering the lack of European football. Let's keep our identity and keep moving forward in the fashion we have been (last season aside) - shrewd business. And in my view, Iborra is just that.

Gerard Posted 5 July 2017 Share Posted 5 July 2017 2 hours ago, FoxinNotts said: Why would he come to us in our current predicament? He would of come here but he had a much better option in Tottenham. IIRC he was on £17k a week at Sporting, he was always going to move at his age given the option to any PL club who were going to give him a 500% wage increase.

Nick Posted 9 July 2017 Share Posted 9 July 2017 So a couple of CB's (hopefully) a new midfielder albeit a defensive one who can play as a forward and a centre back as well - a new contract for our 5th choice striker and a number 10 playing forward for 25 million on his way... Unless we are going to change our formation significantly I'm not sure I see room for a Silva or a Siggy. I think we may look at another winger if Mahrez leaves but that really doesn't look like its happening now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 9 July 2017 Share Posted 9 July 2017 Wow Everton are going all out. I think their rushing it a bit. Surely they need a striker to play in front of the six midfielders they'll have brought? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too many have little Leicester complex on here. We were one of the most talked about clubs in the world 12 months ago. We have rich owners and made the quarter finals of the Champions League. What was the last thing that a Southampton or an Everton won? We may not be nor ever will be the biggest club in England but everyone seems to forget Man City and Chelsea were not that much bigger than Leicester before their owners came in and used to regularly yo yo between the top 2 leagues like us.

I agree with you on some points here. We are now a more popular club, winning the league and going well in the Champions league certainly catapulted us into a different bracket. Thing is many people think us winning the league was a fluke when the so called big clubs were in a terrible state. I personally think its a load of crap, the day we duffed up Man City at home really showed we had the quality and desire to actually win something. The owners are very rich like you say, we are being linked and signing a better calibre of player which is what we should of done straight after the league triumph. I would class Leicester as a mid sized premier league club we are not on the scale of Man City, Chelsea etc yet. I really like you ambition, in the future who knows, the Thai's mean business I know that for a fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
