An Away Move Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 Only the two Manchester clubs have spent more this summer. Does this mean we can expect no more incoming? Or that the club are literally banking on selling Mahrez?https://www.theguardian.com/football/2017/aug/10/leicester-city-set-own-expectations-transfer-deficit-arsenal

brucey Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Not bothered, it's all been paid for by the extra CL money, the owners promised they would reinvest everything back into the club and they have delivered.
HankMarvin Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 They expect mahrez to leave at some point, be it August or Jan - so it will be offset plus the other deadwood will go. So it won't be a massive amount whatsoever

So it won't be a massive amount whatsoever Indeed. The team could quite easily spend 100-150 million on new players if we move those who won't be playing or want to leave. Mahrez/Drinky, plus the Musas on the squad. Exciting time to be a LCFC fan.
SheppyFox Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Good, keep spending too so we don't get to January thinking oh my god we better get buying because we've ballsed up here!
GaelicFox Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Mahrez man of the match tonight sells to Arsenal 45m
Guest Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 teams will be buying for another month. We NEED another CB and an RB.
FrankieADZ Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 not surprised given some of our signing last summer, personally im not too bothered about spend since its need to improve the team and i cant really complain with who weve brought so far, its all money pretty well spent imo
Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 We've spent nothing, as any outgoings will be written off immediately, when we trouser a fortune for Musa baby!!

AKCJ Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 I'm more than happy with how the summer has gone so far. I just hope we can start to transition into a side that likes to keep the ball better. I think we're a centre half, an "Cazorla" esque midfielder and a right back away from that.
Fox 4 Life Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 So we've signed players and kept our best ones? What's the problem. Everton's net spend is low but they lost their best player and only goal scoring threat

Babylon Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 7 hours ago, pmcla26 said: When you look at our income from recent seasons the net spend really isn't that impressive, we just haven't shifted the dead wood such as musa and a few others which would get us around £25 million then we'd be in 10th for net spend probably Here we go again... do you even know what our income will be from the past two seasons? Have you actually looked into the figures because you were bleating on about "billions" the other day. As for your point about not selling people... we haven't sold them, so our net spend is high, so it's a moot point. Even if we did sell them, then the money would most probably be reinvested in other players anyway.

So it won't be a massive amount whatsoever Don't see a queue of people out the door for our players, if we lose some of our more expensive purchases (musa, mendy), they are likely to be loans. If we sold the likes of Leo and Lawrence it will barely put a dent in it. If Mahrez goes, then he'll need replacing. Unless we have a rabbit to pull out of our hat, you're probably looking at the best part of £25m for a replacement. CS already said he's still trying to add to the squad as well, I'm going to presume it's another CB. So they are unlikely to be cheap if we manage to get one done. I can't see the net spend changing drastically, unless we sold and didn't manage to replace them, which would be a disaster.
davieG Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 For a team with aspirations to get and stay in the top half we're still playing catch up as we're still playing a high proportion of what was perceived to be a championship squad.
foxes_rule1978 Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Good we have strengthened in the right areas, and I will be glad if it stays that way because that will mean Drinky and Mahrez are staying, massive pluses

Unless of course they believe Gray is a ready made replacement or possibly the reason for rejecting the Musa offers is to move allbrighton to the right and utilise musa as as left midfielder/winger

One injury and we're then expecting two people to play every minute out wide pretty much. Investing in someone, even if it's a young talent would be wise.

Gray, Albrighton, Musa, Lawrence and Thomas (at a stretch). Obviously not the same quality, but we have backup in the winger positions within the club if worse comes to worst.
Babylon Posted 11 August 2017 Posted 11 August 2017 Who is Thomas? Just can't see the club putting faith in Lawrence, I've seen nothing from him whilst here to suggest he's good enough.
