Fox 4 Life Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Especially if we have been tracking him for 2 years, no brainer

ARM1968 Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 And here we all are, spaffing over something that won’t happen. Announce Bennett. 1
Shane Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 (edited) 28 minutes ago, Clever Fox said: I'd still take Dawson from WH proven at this level and guaranteed Goals. He'd cost very little while we sort ourselves out and sign a few younger options to take us forward. Would love to have an experienced, model professional like Dawson in the squad. Solid back up for Jonny, it’s a no brainer. Gerrimin along with a youngster like Lacroix. Edited 29 August 2022 by Shane 2

FoxyLeon Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 5 hours ago, Iran said: Looks like a great player, would certainly strengthen the defence. Always worries me when a defenders highlights are last ditch tackles, tells me his positioning is off. He's worth a try for the fee, but until we get a manager in who improves players, most signings are a waste. Even Fofana hasn't improved, and his weaknesses are becoming more glaring. 2

Phenom Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Hell yes! This is the type of player I like to see here.

Beechey Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 €40m (£34m) is chicken feed. Just get it done. Decent players cost that much now. We bought Fofana for approximately that, less than a league season's worth of decent performances, and we doubled his value.
Danny280995 Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 (edited) We will be looking to sign Pau Torres, I have a hunch that we will Edited 29 August 2022 by Danny280995 1

They're not all what I would call 'last ditch', and I think a video of a defender not having to do much because of his superior positional sense might not qualify as 'highlights' in the the word is generally used If I was forced to infer anything from that video it's that he's old school and doesn't do a lot on the progressive side. 2

Our defence is terrible as it is. If you’re wanting to replace Fofana with Fofana, then the natural choice is Lacroix. Edited 29 August 2022 by Pliskin 1

Elite dribbler and solid progressive passer.

Dames Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 This type of signing fills me with a lot more confidence. Get it done. 1
tickler28 Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 How are people saying we won't pay £34 million for a central defender when A. Thats exactly what we paid for little Wes and B. We are just about to make a £30 million profit from selling Little Wes effectively making this guy cost around £5 mill 2
Rusko187 Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Through my expert scouting (FIFA) he’s had a cracking season (got a few upgrade cards in Ultimate Team). We need to get this done sharpish!

The Leicester " model" is holed below the waterline and sinking fast. If this geezer is good , and I don't have a clue , and is prepared to sign for a struggling team with a zombie manager then pay the £30 million and get it done.
