lgfualol Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 Mixed reviews about this guy. I still think it is to pressure Ajax into the 25m bid, Tagliatelli won't be happy to be stuck at Ajax for another year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffschlupp Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 This is all but done, it's not a McArthur type situation. Terreur's article for HLN said LCFC were eager to get it finalised with him before he goes for Belgian duty tomorrow, they will probably have done a medical tonight, paperwork tomorrow then either wait to announce it or announce it without the usual fanfare and fancy videos.

Heymister2015 Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 10 minutes ago, Eden De Bruyne said: Like I said in my OP, he is the most versatile player I know. He will be a great replacement for Chillwell. I've seen him play excellent at right back, right midfield, centre back, left back, left midfield, defensive midfield. He is also a better defender than Gosens and Hateboer. But they were better in an attacking way and less versatile than Castagne. Castagne is also good in going forward though. As a Belgian I was not a big fan of the Tielemans transfer for 40M. But I was excited for Praet and now for Castagne. Good scouting! No hating on Youri! I’ve seen a player far from useless like stated by Monaco fans. Classy player that needs more quality around him. Also remember him in the world cup terrorising england Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer those two for 50M, over 40M for Tielemans alone. No doubt about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Steve Earle Posted 31 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2020 If this happens, here’s my take on Brendan’s cunning plan:- - Tim plays RB up to Oct 5th - JJ plays LB, except in the League Cup, when Thomas starts - Ricky will be fit to resume at RB just after the window closes - Tim then moves to LB - Thomas then goes to a Championship club on loan - next summer we lose Ricky to a European giant 😰 - next (2021-22) season our starting FBs are Timmy & Thomas Hmm, too cunning? 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a spell around January where he looked quite good but after lock down he was shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although he is a better CDM than CAM. Praet will be fine, he can be a big player for Leicester imo. He is just a pre assist guy. He will never score and get assists. His technique is wonderful. 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dan LCFC Posted 31 August 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2020 Looks like this one is happening then. First of all I'm happy that it looks like we're getting a signing in. I've been demanding action and we've got it. I think he's clearly a decent player and I'm in favour of buying him - however there's a few things..... - A year left on his deal and doesn't actually start for Atalanta ahead of Gosens & Hateboer. - Predominantly a wing back and is right footed. This to me assumes we're going to be changing to three at the back. That or we're playing him right back and Justin left back, until Ricardo is back. - The fee. Twenty five million. That's a fair bit of money and too much when you factor in the other two bullet points. I feel like for that kind of money we could buy an actual natural left back. Like I said, I'm happy enough with him, but overall factoring in everything I think we're overpaying here, it should be half that and they've had us a bit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv thought all window this was the most likely deal but because of the price, thought £15m would do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 31 August 2020 Share Posted 31 August 2020 €25m is the gross fee with bonuses, the up front fee is €20m which is less than £18m. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
