We haven’t really been linked with any wingers at all. Only Townsend and Roberts?
crisp packet Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 (edited) Manchester City starlet Roberts set for £10m Leicester move Patrick Roberts is heading to Leicester City in a £10million deal. The former England Under-20 international will be released by Manchester City to smooth the protracted £60m transfer of Foxes playmaker Riyad Mahrez. Former Fulham midfielder Roberts has been out on loan at Celtic for the past 18 months. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/transfer-news-live-arsenal-manchester-12856021 Edited 7 July 2018 by crisp packet

No article, no author, no source quoted, nothing on any other news site. Odd.

Given they were his highlights I wasn't massively impressed. I.don't know an awful lot about this lad either. His highlights are better and he knows English football. Got to trust the recruitment team.
richardsfoxes Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 Lukaku, Roberts, Maddison, Evans, Ricardo add another winger to that and its a great window for us even with losing Riyad. 2

I disagree. We've still not adequately replaced Drinkwater from last summer, let alone getting close to replacing a player of Mahrez's quality.

Hopefully silva performs next season - the silva from the Arsenal game would be an upgrade on Drinkwater. 2
baldeagle Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 What I have seen of this guy which isn’t a lot to be honest hasn’t really impressed me. I don’t care what people say the Scottish leagues really aren’t all that . If he’s coming as competition for Maddison and Gray then thats is ok I guess BUT if he’s coming in as a replacement for Riyad then I would be even less impressed
FoxyPalace.com Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 £10 Million is nothing these days for a young British player. He must have something as we seem persistent on making the deal happen. I say give it a go.

We can't just stock pile average players though - we need someone who's able to replace Riyad, if lcfc thinks Roberts is that man then fair enough. 1

Dont think he will be a Mahrez replacement, Still pretty sure the club have somebody proven in mind. Fingers Crossed

urban.spaceman Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 £10m is a considerably better deal than the £15m we've been seeing previously, especially seeing as Man City paid £15m for him from Fulham in the first place. For a young English winner from a top PL club I'd definitely have him. 1

The Mahrez deal would have to be sealed and funds in the bank before any other player could be purchased. Lets stay positive, its been a excellent window so far. 1

SecretPro Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 He's poo. Looks good in Scottish football. Big whoop.
The Doctor Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 I'm assuming 10m is the value of him in player plus cash for Mahrez and we're not taking in the end only 50m from the mancs for Riyad?
Alex_LCFC Posted 7 July 2018 Posted 7 July 2018 The fact that man city are willing to loose 5m from what they paid for him, kind of tells me that they dont rate him too highly 2
