norwichfox Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 I'd like to think we are in for Ziyech, even if it costs us what we have just got for RM (however much that may be)
Pun Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 Have we actually been linked with Ziyech? . It’s a no isn’t it .
deep blue Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 Do any ITKs have any clue at all? I think we all need a bit of encouragement.

I know that there's a quite large football tournament in Russia right now with England and 2 of our players involved, and that may be the reason that not is being publicised (or happening?) transfer wise to avoid unwelcome distractions to the England team. The transfers of Vardy and Maguire are being kept very quiet.
FrankieADZ Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 have to agree with whats been said by a few, think Ziyech would be a decent replacement for Mahrez, thought i read somewhere that he was coming to a team in the prem, was linked with Liverpool too i think but they are signing Shaqiri now

SheppyFox Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 I’m in full bore panic mode. ITKs please help me! ?
SecretPro Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 It's been VERY quiet on the transfer front for several weeks now. Wouldn't be surprised, going on previous windows, if we didn't even have a back-up plan.
SportsNut1908 Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 If Spurs & Inter can’t agree a deal for Malcom he would be top of the list imo. 1

We have been so well organised this transfer window until now, I really would be surprised if this were the case. I am sure it's just a case that they couldn't press ahead until Mahrez had gone. 1
StriderHiryu Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 I guess there is also the slim possibility that we don't replace Mahrez and instead use his absence to give time to Diabate, Gray, Barnes and Albrighton, and that in Ricardo and Maddison we have replaced what he offered in different ways. That would be extremely risky if you asked me, but could be possible. A problem we have to shake though is having the reputation of being a selling club. Mahrez and Kante were two of our three kings, but now we have Maguire and Ndidi who though not on the same level are really good and probably could get into at least the squads of teams in the top 4. We've got to dream and believe that one day we can win the league again, even if it never happens. In order to do that we have to both retain and attract talent. And if we lose Mahrez and don't appear to strengthen like-for-like it will be really hard to keep hold of players like Maguire. 1
NasPb Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 Reliable itk I know says that we are in for jahanbakhsh or traore

You say you don't want us to be a selling club but then also say you think we will replace Riyad with Barnes, gray etc. Maguire & Ndidi will stay with us if they see we are heading the right direction, strengthening & have good players. We have £60m in the bank, spend it.

We have £60m in the bank, spend it. I said we *might* not replace him. Not that we shouldn't. I've gone on record several times saying we should spend as much of it as possible on a proven marquee signing, or as best as we can do in terms of who we can get. Riyad's importance in our team can't be underestimated. Vardy scored goal of the season, but who played the pass into him!? But let's see what the club will do. It looks like we are trying to build a team with a young core. Edited 11 July 2018 by StriderHiryu
MC Prussian Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 (edited) Signing Federico Chiesa would be godly. But the jump to the Premier League may come too soon.

SheppyFox Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 We have known Mahrez was leaving since January, I have absolute faith an action plan is in place to deal with this. We’re not owned and ran by idiots 1

DerbyshireFox Posted 11 July 2018 Posted 11 July 2018 Quincy Promes or Yacine Brahimi? Pace and trickery. Maybe more than we are willing to outlay but may provide the creativity Riyad’s departure inevitably leaves
