Ric Flair Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 3 hours ago, Harry S said: Anyone else worried about the transfer department now, given that over the past couple if years our recruitment has been pretty good given we got in maddison, youri, ricardo, maguire, benkovic and soyuncu, however we bring in lee congerton and all of a sudden we go and sign Ayoze Perez. Dont get me wrong perez obviously better than someone like gray but he isn’t a winger in the same bracket that the other clubs we are competing with have, ie west ham everton and wolves have anderson, richarlison and jota respectively. I just feel like we are a star winger or a promising winger off being able to push too the front of the race for Europe. Albeit we have a promising squad and i cant wait for the season to start. Cmon LEICESTER !!!! Wow, where to start with this? Firstly, Congerton has a dodgy reputation and we have or had every right to be concerned about his appointment, however I highly doubt he's having any effect on recruitment this window. Your criticism of our signing of Ayoze Perez is nothing shirt of astonishing based on what you've said! Felipe Anderson prior to joining West Ham scored 4 and 4 in his previous 2 seasons in Serie A and West Ham chuffed up £35-40m for him, last season he got 9 in the Prem in a full season. Richarlison cost Everton £40-50m and this was on the back of 1 season at Watford where he didn't score or assist in the 2nd half of the season, he scored 5 goals that season and they broke their transfer record on him. Last season he scored 14 goals and had a very good season, 1 goal more than Ayoze Perez scored for a very defensive Newcastle team. Jota scored less than Perez for a very good Wolves team. How are any of those players in a class above Perez? Ayoze's form in the PL in the last few seasons has been very good and is as close to a proven PL players as we could possibly get, with age on his side, versatility and more importantly plays exactly how Brendan Rodgers wants his forwards/wingers to play. Explain yourself please, I'm astounded.

Explain yourself please, I'm astounded. I stand corrected, Richarlison scored the same amount as Perez according to wikipedia. So not a single one of them has outscored Perez but they are all a class above? Give your head a wobble.
psychonaut Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Yes @Harry S explain yourself! I only had to state I was slightly underwhelmed with the signing of lord Perez and I had the full wrath of Ric ? Tbf he alleviated my concerns with a well thought out post and convinced me Perez was gods gift to the premier league. Which was confirmed after his first game for us. I’m excited to see how he progresses this season. Even with Perez being as good, stats wise at least, as the other players mentioned above, I still think we require another top drawer winger if we have aspirations of pushing the top 6.
frany104 Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Malcolm going from Barca to Zenit. He would have been class for us.

Certainly bucks the trend when most other threads focus on the transfer news of particular players, whereas a £30-50m winger is a pretty wide scope...

Ric Flair Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Got a sneaky feeling we are going to go full beans for Ryan Fraser next week.

SheppyFox Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 9 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Got a sneaky feeling we are going to go full beans for Ryan Fraser next week. Yes. Bournemouth are signing a winger aren’t they?

Bournemouth have shown an interest in Gray in the past so would make sense to use him as part of a deal for Fraser. I said last week we should offer a straight swap deal given Fraser will be a freebie next summer.
Beechey Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 12 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: He says he prefers only one to cut inside So it leaves our only left footed, right sided player to fill the other position
Bezzanator89 Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 Still should have bit their hands off when they offered £25m for Gray. Be lucky if we would get offered half of that now given his frustratingly inconsistent form. I'd definitely go for a straight Fraser-Gray swap thought.

fuchsntf Posted 31 July 2019 Posted 31 July 2019 I just believe in Rodgers and his first season..He has carte-blanche...Either Keep his inherited squad,and support encourage individuals..or he has decided who wont encourage to stay,and won't be anywhere near the first 3 rows of squad choices...He will also want to see if the FBs can drive forward then see if we defend as a team... For this part of the season,I see Albrighton, Barnes, Gray, Perez ,even Periera,Ghezzal are more than adequate for that surge towards those high competitive covetted positions... "Let loose the Foxes of war"..... Awake King Dick... Rachel will be fresh from holidays and ready to change her alliance from Red to blue.. Just a petition for Balti pies and then everything is perfect... But the Ashes for now,takes priority.. Harry & wingers....don't need the paper talk,and when the 1 week ends, No further Transfer talk...This summer chit chat has been the worse,one mundane track of ... a gossip-paper-chase!! And like an idiot I was drawn in,and followed it.... My excuse 7 months hospital.... What's yours......
City1884 Posted 1 August 2019 Posted 1 August 2019 At the risk of repeating myself, I’m still hoping we jump in for Harry Wilson from Liverpool. Had a great pre-season with them, scoring against both Dortmund and Lyon. Scored 15 goals in 40 games in the championship last season on loan at Derby. 22 years old, perfect age for Brendan to coach and develop. Already acclimatised to the intensity of English football, if not the Premier League, but is hungry for the step up. (Maddison last season?) Right sided winger, who is predominantly left footed, so will cut inside while Ricardo overlaps. Expected to be available for £20m to £25m. (Probably more like £25m with Bournemouth showing some interest). This feels to me like a great fit for us. Unfortunately no real rumours of us showing interest though.
