Wolfox Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 Appears breakthrough 16/17 out of favour a bit 17/18 solid choice 18/19 Simmilar to profile to Chilwell although more games in his early career due to it being a lower division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 Worked out pretty well with Maddison. This lad is young, versatile, well thought of - can’t really see much of a downside, unless he turns out to be doggo - but he’s not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very much like Ricardo when he was at Nice, was played at left back to fill in as their right back was better than the left back was compared with Ricardo.

Justin was Luton’s first team right back, but their second choice was incredibly similar in terms of ability, so they moved Justin to left back where he is equally strong to accommodate both players. Personally think this is a good signing, I’m loving this young exciting squad we’re building. The potential is endless. To have Barnes, Chilwell, Maddison, Benkovic, Justin etc puts us in such a strong position going forward. A few months into the season we might even be forgetting about the potential 12million fee if he’s as good as Luton say he is. Loving our structure and transfer policy as of late.

Thanks for that - makes a compelling reason to sign him then. We already have Amartey in the team who was going decently up until he got injured. Adding another versatile player that can play either position sounds like exactly the sort of purchase we needed for the squad this season, even if he's not a first team player. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesta2014 Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 People worrying about signing someone from league one, didn’t Tottenham sign Dele Ali from league 1 MK Dons? He’s turned out okay! With signing lower league players I’m more confident in the scouting department. The access to see a lower league game live is a lot easier and regular than any player overseas, well I’d like to think so anyway! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 We should take it as a compliment that lower league clubs are now commanding much larger fees from us. Just look at the successes we’ve had with unknowns and the profits we’ve made: Kante - Ligue 1; bought for £5m and sold for £32m Mahrez - Ligue 2; £400K sold for £60m Vardy - Non League; £1m - Premier League winner and record holder Maguire - Championship (PL relegated); £12-17m - England international, being touted as a world record defender fee over £75m Maddison - Championship; £22m - sought after for at least 3 times that Wood - Championship; £1m - sold to Leeds for £3m then to Burnley for £15m Drinkwater - Man Utd cast off; £800k - became England international, then sold to Chelsea for £37m, now er, never mind Point is, clubs below us have wised up to our success and are either able to command higher fees or insert add ons or sell on fees. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a promising player, well worth a punt. What concerns me is a potential £12m of the budget gone on squad cover when we need to improve the team. It is a lot for a player who has never played beyond the third tier. I just hope that it is £5 or £6m up front as we need to address the midfield issue and also RW in this window.

FoxinNotts Posted 16 June 2019 Share Posted 16 June 2019 If you’re looking to break the top 6, as we are, £12m for ‘squad players’ (a term all managers, would disagree with) is going to be about right in the current market. The finances in premier league football is now crazy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clubs need a squad and I'd much rather we spend £12m on a young player who has been a standout in League One rather than mid 20's mediocrity who have failed at previous clubs like Ward and Ghezzal. All being well even if he doesn't reach the standard required here we should get a decent return fee on him. Mind you I said the same thing about Iheanacho and Kaputska.

I like the idea of signing up and coming youth but I guess it's about priorities. The overwhelming priority for me is centre mid and after that right wing, as we have seen the difference that Tielemans has made as opposed to what went before. If we spend big portions of our budget on squad cover that means less to address the first team issues. £12m is a big bite out of that budget,we can only hope that the up front cost is half that.

But we should hold onto our top players and keep pushing forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, guess his age, home grown status and being English pushed his price up even more. 1 minute ago, Langston said: I don't doubt it. I do.
