Ric Flair Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 It's being reported we're after him for £25 million. I like him, more of a Mahrez type player than Townsend in my opinion.

foxy boxing Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Decent player, knows the league, plenty of experience and can score goals! but we already have Mahrez, Gray and Albrighton unless one of them leaves
lgfualol Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 West Brom bought him for 13m last Summer so of course he is now worth 25!

Plus, I'd prefer 4 wingers anyway.
lcfc sheff Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 I really think we should aim higher, but we dont seem to want to...
suffolk fox Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 now this would be a great signing always rated him was good at Spurs was gutted when West Brom got him last season
foxoffderby Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 technically very good a little inconsistent perhaps

Fox92 Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Get him in. He's the sort of player we should be going for. Technical, creative, scores goals, strong. Always rated him.

STUHILL Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 Decent player with Premiership experience. Would definitely add quality to our team. Be interesting to see what WBA think of him and whether they are unhappy with him potentially being sold. This is the type of player plus Townsend that I could see lined up as a replacement for Mahrez. IMO, we are unable to replace a player like Mahrez, so signing a winger plus a more creative wide/central player is what we may aim for. I'm happy we are being linked with players that have Premiership experience. Perhaps a u-turn from last season's recruitment policy.
lgfualol Posted 29 August 2017 Posted 29 August 2017 81% pass completion? Watch that go down to 60% when he moves here

You can aim as high as you want but if players of that ilk don't find us an attractive option then we're wasting our time and energy and who's to say we haven't.

Exactly this. I'm sure behind the scenes we test the water with player's agents being called etc and often we get told a flat-out "No chance". Yes we won the title but we have quickly returned to a mid-table Premier League club that has as much chance as being drawn into a relegation battle, as we do into a fight for European football. I'm sure Shakey would love players like Smalling etc, but we have to accept that we are just not as attractive proposition to many of the top players.

Yeah technically we could probably afford any winger we want, realistically we will land wingers rated at 30mil or less

Most probably the truth, I'm still majorly disappointed we didn't capitalise after winning the league, we could have really made a statement.

I can only assume we don't to break the bank in fear of disrupting the squad. I don't think breaking the bank is the issue especially if the rumours regarding the £40m+ bid for Siggurdson were true. I think the issue is persuading players to move to Leicester. We aren't short on cash but I think we need to be realistic with the signings we make. I agree that last season we completed ****ed up our spending and failed two capitalise from winning the league however I think we have learnt from it with the signings made so far albeit to are currently injured. I think if the right players are available we will stump up the cash. Last thing we want to do is blow millions on flops e.g. Musa, Mendy & Slimani (good player but overpriced).

We've all seen players go to teams for the money, is it just something's we aren't willing to do? Pay them way over the odds in wages
