Think the quote was LVG was the best coach he'd played under in terms of tactical awareness etc. "Van Gaal is by far the best coach I have worked with - one hundred per cent," Fergie was probably the best manager he played under, with it being known he knew how to get the best out of players in terms of mentality. Think it just highlights that Fergie was good at mentally preparing his team, whereas LVG looked at every single detail possible.

Wasn't very tactically aware that day But yeah didn't realise he said coach 2
StriderHiryu Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Southampton have signed Che Adams. Good player, terrible announcement video! Thought we would see him here given he's a Leicester lad, but I think he will start for the Saints whereas with Vardy here he would be backup, and we'd have to get rid of Nacho and Slimani first. Think this player will do well for them. 1

EastAnglianFox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Shame, actually thought he is one player we would bring in and it made a lot of sense too. 1

The thing is that we'd have to offload probably two players before we could bring him in, and it would be very hard to get rid of Nacho and Slimani and would represent a major loss on both players to do so. We don't NEED a striker if Vardy is fit whereas a Leicester 2019/2020 team without Tielemans is probably finishing 9th at best. Nacho might still come good though like most I'm not convinced at all by him. For what it's worth I do agree that Adams is a good player that would have made a lot of sense to bring in, but running a club is very challenging. Picking your battles and making sure you win them is probably a good strategy to stick to. If we get an up and coming full back, Tielemans and wide player that contributes goals and assists, we will be in very good shape. We already have 1 of those players in, so that's two more to go.

I have to disagree. We NEED a striker whether Vardy stays fit or not. Vardy did well at the end of the season, but he always does under a new manager, he also had some barren times last season and the season before and we had no-one who stepped in and maintained our challenge. He is also knocking on and injuries are more and more likely. It's not an either or situation with striker and midfield, it's a MUST have both. If we're really in a position where we need to sell Slimani in order to get another striker then we are tinpot and should forget about europe or even a top half finish. If we can't afford a young proven championship player like Adams then perhaps we should concentrate on a relegation battle.
Rusko187 Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 What is the world coming to when Marcus Rashford can command £300k a week wage?! He isn't even worth a quarter of that!
fazzyfox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 On the bright side although Southampton have attracted Adams they're likely to be prepared to let go of Shane Long or Charlie Austin now....... 1
HighPeakFox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 BBC says Rashford is on £200k a week. Still a massive amount, but a third less than is being claimed here.
UniFox21 Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 So about half of what palace actually want for him? This will surely be rejected instantly.

I just came on here to post the same. Thought others might appreciate the laugh! Considering that's meant to be the maximum they can offer this window, why are they even bothering, there's clearly no chance.

After being dropped by ivory coast he needs a move and kick on tbh.
DerbyshireFox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Have a £40m budget and the worst back line in the ‘top six’ and want to blow it all on another attacker. No logic from whoever is responsible for recruitment at Arsenal!

Tuna Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Arsenal low balling Palace to unsettle the player and force a move. Oldest trick in the book. They'll probably get him for 60 million if he makes it clear he wants to leave. 1

Babylon Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Hope Palace tell them to get stuffed. If this works and he goes for £40m then it’s going to cause everyone problems.
Super_horns Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 I thought Arsenal only had 40 million to spend - well so said the papers.

HybridFox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 As a Leicester lad, I really wish we signed Che Adams 1
