UniFox21 Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 15 minutes ago, Stevosevic said: John Percy latest: Leicester are continuing talks with Monaco over a potential deal for Youri Tielemans, who impressed on loan at the King Power Stadium over the second half of the season. Monaco want around £40m for the Belgium international but Leicester are believed to be making progress in striking a deal. Rodgers has been assured of major funds this summer in his bid to break the Premier League’s top six, after finishing the last campaign in ninth-place. Is that proper John Percy or fake John Percy?

Finnegan Posted 25 June 2019 Share Posted 25 June 2019 Since BT lost Serie A, Lyon were my favourite team to watch this year. Ndombele is quality. Good signing that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in anyway a Tielemans type player though is he. If they still need a player of that calibre then this signing won't stop them looking to bring someone else in, especially if Eriksen goes. Ndombele is a huge upgrade on Dier/Wanyama and more aggressive and all round a player than Winks, but creativity isnt his USP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, he's got a better footballing brain than Wilf but no I imagine they're still looking at Lo Celso to replace Eriksen if he goes no? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s been documented that the club don’t need to sell Harry in order to finance this window. None of us know how much money we may potentially spend, but like I say all the ITK’s that I’ve seen comment on the situation, have stated there’s no need to sell to finance. Obviously if an offer of £70m+ comes in the club are likely to accept because that’s an offer your going to struggle to refuse. Every player has a price tag.

I would imagine this would be there preferred target & I think Man U will go for Bruno Fernandes or Madders rather than Youri to be honest.

Finnegan Posted 26 June 2019 Share Posted 26 June 2019 I personally don't think anyone will seriously go for Maddison this window. The tabloids might claim they are but it'll be rubbish. The noises coming out of both Maddison and the club plus our history of being stubborn aren't exactly going to encourage any club to bother. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, hence why I think we will get Youri. I genuinely believe if Harry don’t go then no one goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm staggered any top 6 club thinks Maddison is ready, certainly not £60-70m ready which it would take to get him. He needs another year or two at this level playing week in, week out. Got huge potential but nowhere near realised it all yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could argue that given them another year indicates we're not so flush because the £100/£120k a week for the pair is far cheaper than going out and buying a better LB and CB.

Simply because they saw what happened with Delle, first hand. No one thought he was ready when they signed him. Granted, it was for a fraction of the price that Maddison cost, significantly lowering the risk. It could still tempt them into going for it because they got lucky before.

I'd hope they both took a pay cut considering fuchs is about to become our 3rd choice lb and Morgan is our 5th choice cb. Its possible neither play all season so paying them their full first teamer wages would be silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe so, I just think the time to buy him was last summer for the price we paid for him, knowing that he required a fair bit of work to get to the level he is capable of. I rate him but there's so much more to come from him and he is no way near worth what it would cost to get him right now if you expect to get value for money immediately. We have a few players like that and it puts us in a great position as we have the potential of a superb team that hopefully are allowed to get better together over the next 1-2 seasons. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Fuchs on 40 but wes in particular. He's our Captain. If I was him, I'd be pointing at guys like Nacho and saying "I'll take 50k or whatever he's on, thanks".

Giving a chance at least to the expensive and much younger buys we made last summer would be an even more cost effective use of money. Sentimentality holds back the future.
