FrankieADZ Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 I honestly woudlnt be surprised if he went Wolfsburg tbh, think weve missed the boat so to speak on this one
Fox 4 Life Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 The Mahrez situation is potentially screwing us over here as I can't see us buying another winger until he is definitely gone. Could continue to miss out on targets until it's all resolved and then we will be rushing around heading towards the end of the window. 1
Stevosevic Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Surely if we're really that interested we get involved?

lcfc sheff Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Mahrez is staying so seems pretty pointless getting him anyways

The RM situation is becoming urgent as is the size of the squad. We need to start shipping King, Leo etc out 1
FrankieADZ Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 honestly thought he'd go to Wolfsburg tbh but i think he'll go Southampton now, as theyve just sold Tadic to Ajax
coolhandfox Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Maybe we have to sell before we buy. There was talk of a summer transfer pot of £50m plus money from sales, we have already spent near 50m. So maybe no more in until we have a few out. 4

It would appear that Tadic is off to Ajax, Elyounoussi is off to Southampton to replace him. Will Ziyech be leaving Ajax for Tadic to replace? ?

Frustrating but sensible, we have far too many squad players to move on Slim, Ulloa, Musa, King, benny to name a few, I'm not even sure its about the cost of buy new players more than actual we need to keep the wage bill under control.

Ric Flair Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Missing out on this chap is annoying, we're evidently going to need to replace Mahrez and we'll be paying a damn sight more than £16m for someone else who may not be as good as Elyounoussi. We've tracked him for years. 2

We'd be better off and we'd have our 'best' replacement. That or we've decided we want someone else and are certain of getting them. 1

He's a very strong and skillful player, he'll do well in the PL.

Theres no way by any any objective criteria that they are as attractive as LC Ok there’s a challenge! Not sure what your criteria is for ‘objective criteria’, but I’ll have a go.... Hampshire is a nicer place to live than Leicester. Hughes might be a more appealing manager to work under than Puel. The player might view Southampton as a better place for his career progression than Leicester. He and his representatives might just believe Southampton are a bigger club than us!
surrifox Posted 27 June 2018 Posted 27 June 2018 Ok - not a single objective criterion but let's not argue . Our owners are prepared to invest £100 mill in a training facility to take the club forward their owners want out . I think that if we felt the signing was important we trump them on the finance package to make the deal appealing . Its entirely possible that he wants to play for Hughes or enjoy strolling down the leafy lanes of Hampshire but I 'd be surprised if he could put an economic value on that
