Popular Post Stadt Posted 3 August 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 3 August 2019 Would rather spend nothing than get Dunk. We're leaving it late to get anyone in without paying over the odds, plus the squad is already too big. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were buying someone for £80m who falls into this category, recognising, of course, they may not want to come here etc yeah maybe i’m just a bit boring but thought there’d be a bit of realism involved..

Dani Olmo is a name that's popped up loads here, I doubt there's many that watch the Croatian league, he's largely FM hype. Lozano and Suso are both fairly tidy players but again, a lot of their hype is computer games - the last couple years they've been like FIFA version of FM legends. Actually you can throw Thauvin in to that category a little. You can generally spot the FIFA/FM names straight away when they crop up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 4 August 2019 Share Posted 4 August 2019 Wonder if we can tempt Bournemouth to give us Fraser and Ake in exchange for £40m, Gray and a season long loan for soyuncu/benkovic? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erm, not quite in the spirit of this thread. Suggest a signing in the £80m category that would be a real statement of intent by the club. Let's not forget that people will be reading news of Maguire's record transfer to Man Utd and will be thinking 'Leicester must be some side to have a player worth that much. Didn't they win the Premier League not so long ago? Isn't Vardy still there - will get you 20 goals in the Premier League a season if he gets the right service. They've now recruited Brendan Rodgers who almost won the PL with Liverpool a few seasons ago. After three years of failure/mediocrity following their title win,maybe they are ready to make a real go at getting into the Top 4' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 4 August 2019 Share Posted 4 August 2019 I hope we don’t just splash the cash for the sake of revealing a “marquee” signing. It’s never worked for us. Our smartest buys have always been the ones who come in under the radar of other clubs. Ndidi to replace Kante for example. Even Youri coming in on loan first time around to effectively replace the creativity of Mahrez. The profit from this deal, used wisely could really propel us as a club. This is summer 2016 again, in that we have a real opportunity to take this football club to another level. If that means we pocket the money till January or even next summer, so be it - I don’t want to look back in a few season thinking what a missed opportunity.
