The recall clause should definitely be included though, in the event Evans or Soyuncu get injured. Bad idea loaning him even with a recall option. We cant put him in our squad until January. So with injuries or suspensions we could end up with Morgan and a kid. No way he gets a loan now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not till September but if he goes on loan we can only recall in a transfer window to register him. We can register a player that's out on loan.

Ric Flair Posted 20 August 2019 Share Posted 20 August 2019 I forget that Jardim managed Slimani at Sporting, for the life of me can't understand why else a troubled club who still harbours intentions of competing at the top in France would want him. Hopefully this isn't just a loan deal, they've had enough out of us for Ghezzal and Tielemans. I would happily let them have Silva and Slimani for £10m combined and all their wages gone.

I can't see it for a multitude of reasons, the most obvious being it would look to leave you short in terms of cover. I mean Alex Pascanu would make more sense. He outshone Benkovic in the under 21 euros and is in need of first team football to progress. Looks on a similar level to Benk so would probably do well for you 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does an emergency recall work? Loaning him back to play in that league is madness. He will be needed here soon enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR will want to faze Morgan out this season and won't want him becoming the third choice CB. A fully fit Benkovic as third choice CB will get plenty of games over a season you would think and has the potential to push the other two CB's for a place. Yeah like I said really can't see it myself either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poiseuille Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers has told £10m signing Rachid Ghezzal he can leave, just 12 months after the winger joined the club (Daily Telegraph) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 I imagine Benkovic will have a Soyuncu-esque season this year, probably with some more features as he's third choice instead of 4th, and will get real gametime next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poiseuille Posted 21 August 2019 Share Posted 21 August 2019 I’d say it’s a decent window if we get rid of Ghezzal, Silva, Diabate and Amartey as papers suggest, in the next few weeks, to add to the departures of King and Slimani. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think we would sell him tbh, a loan would work for everyone involved. Could well be that he over performed in the Euros and he's actually not good enough for you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about Ghezzal, Silva and Diabate, but I do think Amartey gives us something. His ability to play in different positions (right back, centre back and defensive midfield) is a very useful option. Although he was linked with a move to the Blades, I wonder whether BR might be having second thoughts about shifting him this window and keep him in the 25 man squad (especially now Slim and Kingy have gone and the other 3 might be on their way).

I think those people might actually learn something about transfers from playing those games. Not really sure about FIFA, but I think FM is very accurate.

jeffschlupp Posted 23 August 2019 Share Posted 23 August 2019 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leicester-city-clear-out-continues-3242475.amp?__twitter_impression=true This basically confirms what we all knew - Silva, Diabate and Ghezzal are free to leave; Amartey and Mendy are probably staying. There's also an article on the Merc about Matty James, who Rodgers thinks is perfect for his tactical style once he's back from his current injury. He spoke in very similar terms on Kapustka late last season, if I remember right - both of those guys look set to stay beyond the deadline, and there's room for them in the 25 man squad too. James in particular is an interesting one - Puel rated him and played him over both Silva and Iborra whenever he was fit, and now Brendan thinks he can get use from him. Would love him to prove them and the club right and justify that contract extension. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
