SouthStandUpperTier Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 The thought of Richarlison doing that awful (chicken?) goal celebration in a Leicester shirt would actually make me not want us to score. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luttfox Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 Josh Maja could be available, sure we were linked before last season? 26 Goals in 80 games over the last 2 seasons, Seems to fit our profile, young talent with a possible higher sell on, Bordeux are having money problems and surely would pick us over West Ham or Rangers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post lcfc sheff Posted 31 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 July 2020 To those suggesting Richarlison, he went to Everton for £50m, then Everton turned down a bid of £85m last summer from Barca!

Popular Post Chocolate Teapot Posted 31 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 31 July 2020 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: I find that hard to believe though for a few reasons. 1) CL was not a realistic ambition/target for the club at the start of last season and we hadn't overspent last summer in order to try and secure it and the funds it unlocks. 2) we sold Maguire for £80m up front and didn't spend it all (if you consider our net spends the last few seasons vs our revenue there's surplus funds. 3) the financial analysis was weighted heavily towards the training ground expenditure being a short term cash flow problem and I'd be staggered if it is. We joked selling Maguire pays for our training ground but in reality why would you do that. Improvements to infrastructure are exempt from FFP so we'll look to pay for this and the stadium expanse over a long period from loans secured, possibly from King Power themselves. 4) we seem to have earnt £30m+ more this season for finishing 5th than we did in 2018/19. Additionally we had a 30m bid turned down for tarkowski post maguire amongst others and would have spent similar on demiral in Jan if they'd accepted so weve not just banked the maguire money. Also the club gained an extra 7m from maguire get cl and didnt pay out on the champions league bonuses to the players so swings and roundabouts. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps I should be saying - if we sign only one striker this summer - I would like it to be a player like Richarlison, as opposed to another small pacey striker.

FoxyJim1987 Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 Richarlison and guys costing upwards of 50m are not in our realm. We will sign guys for 30 to 40m max who are still youngish or 27 28 and bags of experience but at a smaller club like William Carvalho. If we sign Brooks, a centre back adnd a striker I will be happy. And obvs replace Chilwell if he goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 Demirel £40m/Diallo£20m/Brooks£20m/Cantwell£20m/Edouard£30m. Sell Chilwell £60m and Iheanacho £25m! Rodgers doesn’t like his work rate! I’am proposing £130m spend with £85m plus fringe player fees as outs! Rodgers said he wanted to freshen the squad because it’s been similar since he took over. Also we need numbers in midfield as I’ve proposed! Benkovic needs to be kept for cover also! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARM1968 Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 Who do I want? Hmmmm not bothered, as long as..... 1. They are a clear and obvious step up from what we have - not hard on the wingers front. 2. they’re fast as fuch. 3. Young with room to grow. 4. at or near world class. not much really.

I quite like this list, apart from the fact we don't seem to have covered the loss of Chilwell at left back. So, I would want Telles as well. I know this takes the net spend up, but if we want to make the next step up, then this is the sort of investment required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heymister2015 Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 We can get £5m for Slimani! We’ve already recouped quite a bit from him! Newcastle paid £4m loan fee! Fenerbahce/Monaco must of paid the same! So that’s £12m plus say £5m transfer fee or another £4m loan fee! Silva £2m loan maybe. Just recoup as much as possible and help justify a £130m -£150m spend. At the end of the day we were spending £80m every summer since the title mostly finishing mid table! Plus we attracted Ricardo and Tieliemans during those times. Also we’ve made £30m extra from last season finishing higher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicesterseddon Posted 31 July 2020 Share Posted 31 July 2020 Think we need another CB, a good right winger and someone to replace Chilwell if we sell him. Long term we also need to buy a partner/eventual replacement for Vardy - is this finally the summer to do that? I don't think we need to buy loads of players tbh. They need to add quality, pointless just signing makeweights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gosh! We are watching different sports @pmcla26! Kasper’s character & leadership skills are right up there. But the man’s distribution is plain awful by PL standards. And he’s terrible on crosses. And he doesn’t command his area. Other than that, technically he’s not bad 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 31 July 2020 Author Share Posted 31 July 2020 I notice Callum Wilson wants a move ‘to’ the PL I’ve not watched enough of him lately to have a formulated opinion as to if he could play a role here as a stop gap before Vards is replaced - I remember him featuring a few times for England but he’s gone way off the boil lately. I’d bet he’d want to be starting each week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
