Would definitely be cheaper than Hazard. Why would he want to suddenly up sticks and come to Leicester, why would Leeds sell him?
lcfc sheff Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 Raphinha and Neto are at stage too late for us to buy, as soon as a player performs well in the prem whilst young they’re almost worth £40m straight away. Similar for us when we sell a player to the “bigger” clubs. someone like Matheus Pereira could be different if West Brom are relegated and may have included some sort of clause but that’s just reasonable guess work. 4

We do keep on getting them in and this only makes us look foolish as the keepers we are bringing in are of a poor quality. There must be something we are all missing...there has to be!!!

The thing is we've an array of youth and full international keepers we've signed for our academy in Iversen, Stolarczyk and Odunze. Then we had Academy player of the year Oliver Bosworth who was very highly rated and had been in England youth squads. We've then signed the lad from Chelsea this season too and there's a couple more than get games for the U18's and U23's. 1

FoxesWalk Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 As others have said Neto is a no brainier, better chance of getting him if we get CL football. Not sure we can afford him though...

Young, 18, has been to the Foxes for training and talks — and his dream move may be sorted out this week. The 6ft 4in Pools wonderkid almost joined Chelsea last season. He has been with England’s youth set-up while spending time on loan at Blyth Spartans. But SunSport understands a deal with the Foxes is close. Sunderland-born Young came through the youth academy at National League-leaders Hartlepool to earn his pro contract at Victoria Park. He would likely link up with Steve Beaglehole's Under-23s set-up at Leicester. And should Brendan Rodgers' side secure Champions League football next season, Young may even get a chance in the U19s Uefa Youth League. Kasper Schmeichel is the undisputed No1 at the King Power with Wales international Danny Ward his understudy. Veteran ex-Hull man Eldin Jakupovic is the third-choice but has not made a senior appearance for the club since May 2018. Polish Jakub Stolarczyk sometimes joins Schmeichel and Ward on matchdays as part of the warm-up. However, 6ft 7ins American youth international Chituru Odunze, 18, was involved prior to the 2-0 defeat to Manchester City last week. Finally, Daniel Iversen is being eyed as the natural successor to his Danish compatriot Schmeichel. Joining the club in 2016, the 23-year-old is yet to play a first-team match for the East Midlanders but is earning his stripes with 110 senior appearances across four loan spells, currently with Preston North End in the Championship. 1
Steve Earle Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 I was never a big fan of our Jeffrey, but I wouldn’t be surprised or disappointed if we signed Schlupp on a free this summer. Brendan likes players who can play in more than one position & Schlupp can cover both LW & LWB, even LB at a pinch. It’s one way of bringing in cover for Barnes without spending much? 2

Just find it odd we collect keepers like my Nan used to with farm foods coupons. 1

Still young and a bit raw but has plenty of ability
Ric Flair Posted 11 April 2021 Posted 11 April 2021 Lookman would be a yes from me but he tends to play wide left does he not?

Yep, mainly a left winger with some games as a number 10 and a few at striker If we could get him for a decent fee he would be a good player to have as cover for Barnes that could also fill in at number 10 and possibly striker However he still has 3 years left on his deal and Leipzig paid £20m for him, so they would probably want a good chunk of that back, but they are willing to sell him Edited 11 April 2021 by moore_94
goose2010 Posted 12 April 2021 Posted 12 April 2021 It might not be a likable choice with some but I would see if we could tempt Dele Ali. He is another mis managed player and could easily be another Lingard. People will say about his attitude etc etc. But these will be the same people saying exactly the same about Lingard. Under the right manager he could get back on track and be one of the best AM's in the league. 3 1

I can see him ending up at PSG come the summer with Poch.
