Nice. 

No, Angers

If we're spending that sort of money and we've also said LB, CB and RW are the priority then we must be willing to spend £50-60m this window.

This is what I think. When it comes to it, no one really knows what is going on behind the scenes. Those with some ideas of how finances work within large organisation may have an idea as to how the finances are, but in reality we don’t really know… perhaps they’ve had some investment from a stakeholder? Perhaps they’ve had some reserve? I guess we will find out if the signings come in..

He has played right wing 9 times in his career

 

Say hello to our new right winger Ric

Good because I think that's about the minimum this team needs.

Would expect to see some serious outs for 4 new players to arrive I guess, as would we still be short of squad space?

Whos more reliable? Lequipe or Santi?

Santi

L'equipe can be dodgy, doesn't help that the old fraud Ben Jacobs chimed in and essentially said we're in for Ounahi

[LCFC2016]

Highly likely this is unrelated but Ounahi posted on his Instagram story of him being at 'Aéroport D'orly' at about midnight, similar time to when l'equipe first said we had placed a bid... 👀

Soyuncu, Perez, Youri, Praet. That'll do it.

We're going to see some serious outs. Cags, Youri, Perez, Mendy, Bertrand are all gone in the summer. That must be 300k off the weekly wage bill.

Quite a few that have the potential to leave this January I think

 

Soyuncu, Vestergaard, Mendy, Praet, Youri

 

JJ would also be taken out of the squad for the rest of the season

[Pliskin]

Just waiting for the Merc to rubbish it.

If we are buying him, Praet deal away must be done, so maybe 8-10m in.

 

We need to spend whether it's now or in the summer.

don't see how that'd be the case with his injury

Adding to the money save on Kasper wages and a reduction in Vardys wages.

 

Probably around 500k a week off the wage bill.

Don't think it looked serious, unless you know something else?

Thats what I thought, sound like it is just a bruised rib

 

With how much Torino want him I doubt a couple of weeks injury will put them off

[kingfox]

He is definitely a player who can fill Youri’s role in some ways, in terms of passing and creation they are pretty much identical.

 

The main difference is that Ounahi plays a bit more advanced and dribbling is a key part of his game.

 

But I think @moore_94 hit the nail on the head a page back, Ounahi needs to add contributions to his game in terms of goals and assists, he is zero for both so far this season.

Aye, you'd expect quite a few to leave this January though I think.

 We have to be preparing for either Tielemans or madders leaving.  I don’t see that we’d invest this kind of  money without something coming in

I think Tielemans is the one most likely to leave this January

 

Madders I think will be in the summer

 

I would happier with Ounahi as a replacement for Youri compared to a replacement for Madders as well

We may not be directly replacing him like for like - he doesn’t suit a 4-3-3.  Planning for life without a no 10
