Popular Post jeffschlupp Posted 8 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2021 Has missed one game to injury in the last 2 seasons, good disciplinary record, Evans style defender, not a bad aerial threat (one goal in every 13 in Serie A), would easily get a work permit, younger than Evans when he signed for us. Apparently fluent in English too but we do have several Dutch speakers in the squad. European experienced. 6ft2. Played well in 3atb and 4atb. Serie A winner. Reportedly on about £115kpw but take that with a large pinch of salt. Basically, he ticks every single box for me. So we haven't got a chance! 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80footgiraffe Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Prefer Lenglet but undoubtedly a good addition if it was true which is almost certainly isnt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakemoore Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Yesterday’s result could have two impacts on Top - 1.) he thinks that what we have now is enough and so we don’t need to spend too much on a new CB 2.) winning against the champions and winning at Wembley again whilst also keeping a clean sheet further convinces Top and the board that BR is worth the money he asks for as he will take this team to new heights (he has already tbf) I for one hope it’s the latter. But I doubt we’ll spend £20m+ without someone going through the exit door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 I know I’ll get boo’d off the pitch for this but…… Offer Praet as part of a deal? He was highly rated in Italy? And I reckon they would like him? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is well down the pecking order here and for his own career he needs to be playing first team football. He must know he has no future here if he can't even make the bench.

KDH and Soumare have looked incredible and for some dumb reason, I still have a soft spot for keeping Hamza and his epic hair around! Part cash/player deals are rare though and I'm not sure if he is rated high enough for Champions Inter to be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hamza does ever leave, we need to shave off his hair to make into a wig and stick it on Filbert Fox. We can let the player go but I don't want our club to lose that fro.

car1os Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 Doubt we’re in for him - this has been put out in the media so Raiola can add more to the players value and therefore his own back pocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StriderHiryu Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 (edited) Top quality centre back this, one of the best in Serie A. Can play with the ball at his feet and is tall to boot. Left footed also. Seems a bit OTT to sign him, but if we think Evans is going to have recurring injury issues throughout the season, then they don't come much better than this. A player that usually we would have no chance with, but with Inter having a fire sale (there are some rumours saying they are facing liquidation!) it's possible. Where we get the money from I don't know? FFP is relaxed this year so I'd imagine it would be a personal handout from King Power to make such a move happen.

FoxesWalk Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 The links keep coming, this time for a double deal of Brozovic and de Vrij for €48m http://sportwitness.co.uk/leicester-city-said-willing-pay-e48m-impressive-double-deal/ Seems extraordinarily unlikely unless Youri or Madders are off. The price also seems ridiculous. De Vrij alone should go for near that, and Brozovic is a £40m player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grebfromgrebland Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 IF we could get this guy it would give the whole team a massive boost. It's not often a club like Leicester can buy an experienced winner of international class with years left in his career. The last one was Evans. I just don't think Leicester could afford him.

Steve Earle Posted 8 August 2021 Share Posted 8 August 2021 While I’ll continue to dream of de Vrij and Madueke, winning the Europa League & finishing top 4, I’m strangely reconciled to the signings being Vestegaard and Dan James. We’d be stronger than we are now… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
