UHDrive Posted 29 July 2021 Posted 29 July 2021 (edited) BR said he wanted both winners and experienced players from this transfer window and Berardi is exceptionally experienced and has a fantastic regard in Italy as a model pro. Yes he is closing in on 27, but he's in his prime and played great football in the euros. His talent isn't in doubt and he fits our style of play, our formation and brings what we need in that position. If this means the owner putting money into the club to secure the player until we sell some of our outgoing players then so be it, I'm all for it. Hopefully once he's in then the recruitment team can start working long term on players for that position. This would give us a great base point to start from in an area of the pitch that is critical to cover. Edited 29 July 2021 by UHDrive Typo 2

Dan James is the Gary Megson option Madueke definitely has the most potential, but is also the most likely to flop, given his young age and having only played 1st team football in a really weak league.

We've all been there with Nigerian names...lol! Not exactly sure why, but Madueke gives me Ryan Sessegnon vibes. Perhaps it was his rather pedestrian appearance in the Euro U21s.

Mp defo safest. Madueke highest reward highest risk. But I've got a feeling he's a star imo.
Jimbo Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 I think this signing has more potential to be like Slimani or Musa than it does to be successful. My gut just tells me that IF we sign Berardi it just won't work out, at best we'll have 2 Perez's, it'll just be that one is more suited to actually playing on the wing. Italians don't tend to fit well in the premier league, ref's don't buy their tactics and theatrics.
tickler28 Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Not a chance we're signing a Euro winner with suitors all across Europe. Next.

st albans fox Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Perez is 28 even if we could sell him that limits the fee we can get because he has no resale value to a buyer Berardi is worse in that by the time it comes to either a sale or a renewal he will be thirty. we surely aren’t shelling out 30 million on a player with no release value …..it doesn’t fit our modus operandi

Pliskin Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 I don’t see him as a Liverpool or Chelsea player….. he’s not a luxury player as such, he’s more of a workhorse with a great technique. He would end up being dumped by either club after a season or so, whereas with us he would probably end up being a cult hero. Not sure how we can compete with either of them to be honest, unless they set their financial stance lower than ours.

Fab did say he doesn’t really like playing for a big club but for a club like Leicester
Pliskin Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Just now, chapero82 said: Fab did say he doesn’t really like playing for a big club but for a club like Leicester That’s my thoughts. He isn’t a big time Charlie and may prefer playing for us. I can’t imagine his current financial demands being too far away from our wage structure. Personally I think he is the number one preferred target. But Peraira is the alternative… however, I can’t see WBA letting him leave permanently, they seem to want to have the option to bring him back if they come up. We know full well that this won’t happen if he joins a PL side on loan.
lcfc sheff Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 He’s pushing away from our usual kinda transfer when we sign a player young enough for huge resale value… but at basically 27 years old he’s barely old and maybe it would be sign to sign someone in their prime for once? I do fear if he’d settle in but Fab has said he’d come to us so he must be wanting a change of scenery, and then there’s the cost but I’d assume Perez would have to leave for purely squad size as well as progressing his own career so why not replace him with this chap. on the flip side it worries me kinda if we’re going down the Slimani / silva route trying to sign someone relatively established but only in one league and of an age where if he flops it’ll prove costly. I mean I’d trust our scouts if we were to sign him but I actually wonder if there’s anything in it, Fab said we wanted Gosens but we got Bertrand instead… could’ve been CL reasons but I sort’ve doubt it

An Sionnach Posted 30 July 2021 Posted 30 July 2021 Berardi would come nowhere near us without a starting position every week. Think about it, Maddison, Tielemans , Soumare, Ndidi and soon Barnes . Who is on the bench? Pereira , on the other hand , would be much more flexible.

Did he tell you this or are you using your own opinions? You have once again absolutely no basis of fact.
