UHDrive Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 Whatever the costs being floated the fact is that we need one like yesterday and it just so happens that this guy can do the job and appears to be available. Before people hammer me about his injurys then I'd say that he's currently over them and we all should start from there and by all means bash him over the head when he stubs his toe after £37 million seconds. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But one thing he does offer is versatility, so perhaps we're thinking he can cover more than one position depending on fitness and form of other players i.e. Barnes currently struggling so if Madders was back on the right Gonzalez can go on the left. This probably makes him more valuable whilst we've so many injuries and players out of form. He also looks to be very decent in the air which is something we really lack and would add another dimension to our play in the final third. Now granted, like everyone else I'm purely going off YouTube and stats but I like the look of him. And let's face it we simply cannot afford a player like this who's proven at PL level, who also potentially has resale value and who is rarely injured. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 (edited) Be good to get someone who knows where the net is but it now seems Fiorentina are playing hardball saying they want to sell in the summer not now, smells a bit like seeing how desperate Leicester are are we willing to up the price??

urban fox Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 certainly would not be disappointed if we landed him, but if the noise around Tete is genuine, i would rather the latter, especially given the fact that the Italians want to play hardball over the fee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't need to be great to still be better than our other RW options.... Similar if we signed a new GK... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However to spend 40 million, which could be are whole budget when we could get 2/3 players to improve the starting 11 would be madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 To be honest we could sign anybody who can play right wing and it would probably improve our squad options. Even a past prime Jamie Lawrence could do a job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 Wonder how the player feels. He agreed terms (allegedly) with us, and now his club have effectively refused to sell him. I expect the rumours will persist between now and end of the window unless we sign another RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bezzanator89 Posted 19 January 2023 Share Posted 19 January 2023 ITK. In other words, I know as much as the rest of you and we have all seen that Fiorentina are not willing to sell. Least their hierarchy actually comes out and tells as all as much. Continuing to speculate, and wondering what could have been is pointless, like most of the threads on Transfer Talk.

It’s called haggling and helps drive up the price, you may be correct but we’ve seen this kind of talk many times before. Mahrez, Maguire and Fofana?
