Give him £6m, 60 bags a week and give Porto £5m to take him TODAY. I want him here before the weekend. NEXT We always have 2 or 3 targets for one position, maybe his not our first choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume clean Salary means take home pay which makes it nearer 100k per week. Not sure he would be worth that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure that's likely to be true, the financial aspect of this deal though makes it very attractive and I'd be surprised if the other targets are not more expensive. We have a potential £20m outlay on Ünder in the summer, plus we need a new 4th choice CB and a striker so getting an attacking midfielder for less than £10m would be a very good deal.

UHDrive Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 As a club would we entertain a prospective player like Otivio that puts his salary demands online including signing on fees and bonuses etc? Aside from the "playing the game" to transfers, I cant recall us signing too many of those types of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, we have a few days yet. I'd be surprised if we sign someone to be honest, even in a non covid year our net spend is only 20m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turlo Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 If he's been well scouted and was a preferred target before the need to cover for Praet arose, then 10 mill (5 to Porto and 5 to Otivio) to bring him in now + 50-60k wages would be a pretty good deal (making an assumption he's on a similar level to praet who cost around 20 mill inc sign on fee) . While we could wait until the summer to avoid paying a fee to Porto, we still have a need for a midfielder now and would end up paying a loan fee for someone else if we went down that route.

Pliskin Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 I imagine bids are already in... The club are tight lipped these days, I still think that is one of the reason Dave rennie was shunted with the backroom reshuffle... We would have already made moves, and we will find out in good time what the outcomes are.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vindaloo FOX Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 Brazil was the football side that got me into football in the 1994 WC, I was 8 years old. Before that I only enjoyed WWF. So I've always dreamed of us one day having a Brazilian player at Leicester. I remember being jealous of Boro having Emerson & Juninho in the 90s Hope we get this lad.

LukeFoxes Posted 28 January 2021 Share Posted 28 January 2021 4 hours ago, Lesta2014 said: Wonder if we only want a loan as we are planning on playing KDH next season? I thought this, too. When asked last week, didn’t BR say “We’d like an attacking midfielder to come in and help us out” or something along those lines? I might be well off but that strikes me as a view to a loan and not so much looking at a permanent deal. You’d imagine we’ve got our targets lined up for the summer as well - perhaps the focus will be on a striker in the summer. Let’s patch up the cover for attacking mid for now and then we’ll have Praet and KDH moving forwards as good rotation options?

I may get slated for this but I dont think KDH is good enough for our level and our play. I watched him as he developed in the U23's and I've been watching him through streaming while playing for luton. Luton are a mid table mediocre team and most of our academy could look good their. To get a better assessment of him get him loaned to a club that has something to play for. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
