Melbourne Fuchs Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Iborra didn't start when Sevilla beat us. He did start when we beat them. I hope this one turns out well, but who knows?

But we do need someone who can score from free kicks just outside the box.

M0901 Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 While he must be decent as he's captain of a top 4 Spanish side... I'm hoping he doesn't become Inler 2.0! Either way I'm glad we're seeing some progress in the transfer market.
AKCJ Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 31 minutes ago, Babylon said: Can't find a single video of him passing... just a few goals, misses and clattering people. Yep. Those that's think he's a 6 foot 3 David Silva are in for a shock. There's a reason he's never played for Spain.
Sammy Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Anyone know if he played any role in Seville's recent Europa League successes? If he has then I'd be very happy getting another winner integrated in to the squad

Moksky Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Just now, Swan Lesta said: Moksky we are a club who are simply not attractive to established players - the end. To get players with pedigree who are not up and coming we have to pay over the odds - Rudkin et al have at least learnt that after last seasons transfer window. Disagree - why write yourself off like that, what makes Everton so attractive - we have a better stadium, better owners, we pay competevily with the likes of Everton, Spurs. I am being totally realistic. Small minded mentality, and we go and pay more than needed, do the proper homework on a squad player. What have they learned - nothing. If people like Rudkin were in my busness, I would have got rid. They dont know how to negotitate a fair market valuation. Keep you prized assests where possible, and add to those, pay over the odds. Michael Keane is travesty, he played down here, wanted to come, we wouldnt pay. Ok so now go out and pay and get Ben Gibson, captain for his club, young and I think he will play for England at some stage. No because we wont pay. You pay peanuts you get monkeys, you dont spend you dont get. Fans are doing somersaults over signing a player who played for club who we knocked out of Europe and is on his way down in terms of his career. Im not writing him off, I hope he's the next best thing, but read between the lines, it does look like another Gokhan Inler.

Samilktray Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Most of the noises coming from Spanish football 'experts' don't exactly make this seem very exciting.

Name me an in demand player, in their prime (28-31) of established quality and pedigree that LCFC has ever competed for and signed for us despite offers from other clubs. We won the league and had CL football and still we couldn't get our targets.

Jon the Hat Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Hopefully the guy has something to prove. We like players with something to prove.
Max Power Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 In what way is this similar to bloody Inler I swear if Everton has signed Iborra everyone would be going mad in here.

brucey Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 14 minutes ago, StriderHiryu said: The biggest question for me is if he has been sold against his will, which I suggest is the case right now because quite frankly who would trade Seville for Leicester as a place to live other than a sadist! But if he's motivated for the challenge and has a point to prove I think this is a really safe signing. Just look at the physical attributes of the guy, he's made for this league. from looking on their forums it sounds like Iborra was given the option last season (when he declined Sunderland on deadline day) and this season as well whether or not he wanted to go. I reckon he's actually keen to come, last big contract payday, doubling his wages and he will know we're a very decent team after what happened at the KP!

AlloverthefloorYesNdidi Posted 4 July 2017 Posted 4 July 2017 Judge him by the expression on his face in his announcement photo with the Leicester shirt

There's a part of me that's become incredibly cautious about our owners. I don't think they lack business sense, I think they've got too much of it. I think they realise the profitability of being a consistent mid table team and they're happy to have that. If pushing on to the next level means splashing the cash then I think they're perfectly content with mid table obscurity whilst making the club profitable.

We won the league and had CL football and still we couldn't get our targets. We didnt want to pay to get them. Fact. Sigurdssson, Keane, Deeney all were achievable last summer, no doubt others are this season. Gibson is right now, Sigurdsson has Everton as his preferred desintation at the minute as we didnt buy him last season. Ieanacho is a perfect example . I can't be bothered to google it all up, theres plenty. On another note, we don't have 2 right backs in the squad, yet we have 7 CM now. Need to clear out those who dont want to be here
