Leicester_Loyal Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Hopefully this isn't the only winger we sign (if he does come). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybradger Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Low risk high reward, good signing. Unless the injury problems are serious we cant really lose on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be either or, and the reports of us being a bit cash strapped are looking about right. Sorry mate but cash strapped ? We’ve spent £18m on a full back and We are negotiating £20plus million for a CB on the other thread. We’ve also offered this guy a significant wage increase. Cash strapped ? Probably not. sensible given the uncertainty ? yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for that was that the fee was 25 million euros and they couldn’t afford it, but also mentions concerns over his fitness too. https://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2020/official-ogc-nice-pass-up-e25m-option-to-buy-adam-ounas-from-napoli/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they couldn't afford to sign him? Remember some clubs can't chuck around millions like its nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we'd bin gray and sign brooks as well Edited 11 September 2020 by NasPb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the wrong choice of phrase but for the amount of investment we need to be where we want to be, we're miles off. If we finish 8th that'll be a good result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't understand sad, negative posts like this. Albrighton is a legend. Gray did well last season. I struggle a bit more to defend Ghezzal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have invested in infrastructure which limits player transfers. It did the same to Spurs and Arsenal for obvious reasons. We need good players but to attract the good players, we need more to show off. Covid hasn’t helped but we do need to be more creative in our recruitment.

Yes, MA is a legend, still fairly good at what he does, but what he does no longer suits us. Edited 11 September 2020 by SecretPro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddylcfc Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Certainly not excited by this. Wasn’t pulling up any trees at Nice last season. They subsequently declined the €25 million option so for me, Brooks or McNeil would be better options. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RowlattsFox Posted 11 September 2020 Share Posted 11 September 2020 Never heard of him and his stats look relatively average to me. Fingers crossed for a masterstroke. We've got ok options on the wing but need the extra quality. Sign this guy and a decent striker who can maybe play from wide, even it's just a loan and we could be ok.
