Out of Contract Summer 24 …… let’s get excited about nothing.

[Sly]

Maybe time to potentially starting looking at the summer transfer window.

 

With FFP having such a massive impact upon clubs, maybe we’ll start to utilise the free agents, as players run down contracts.

 

This way, they’ll get the massive signing bonus, rather the clubs getting transfer fees.

Some interesting names on that list that we’ve been linked to previously.

 

Josh Brownhill, Gabriel Barbosa, Alex Meret, Nicolas Pepe, Felipe Anderson etc

 

Given our potentially to fill 6 or 7 gaps, we aren’t splurging money on all players with our potential FFP status on the edge. So you’d likely think we’ll be dipping our toe into this pool.

Or perhaps if everyone else is constricted ( apart from the usual suspects to whom the rules don’t apply) then the price of players will come down and we won’t be in a position of paying out £30 mill + for garbage like Slimani and Silva

End of 2024 rather than in the summer has some South American lads I've suggested before, Valentin Gomez, Aravena, Juan Sforza. Sebastián Cáceres is also out of contract in December. Roger Fernandes from Braga in the summer is an interesting one.

Surprised to see Lloyd Kelly on there, you'd imagine Bournemouth are working on that. He'd fit in very well at LCB/LB

[Ric Flair]

O'Hare and Sensi are the obvious ones.

I’d love it but he flopped massively at Inter

Look, he absolutely might never come back to Europe and thrive. True. And he's never coming to Leicester in a million years. 

 

But he's a long, long way now from the kid that went to Inter with too big a reputation to live up to.

Reckon he could cut it in the prem?

I see noone has mentioned Toni Kroos

Jury is out, I do rate him and he'd be a relatively risk free punt as long as we looked to pay him a larger signing on fee up front than have him on a salary that should he not be good enough, we can't offload him back to the Championship very easily.

This post from Sensi’s wife strongly suggests to me that he will come in the summer.

That's what I'm thinking. Everyone's affected, so the market just needs a bit of time to settle and adjust. I expect we'll see clubs spend a lot less for a while, and any club trying to sell a player will have to accept that they're not likely to get what they might once have been offered. The money they do get will go further, though.

Being desperate to raise your kids up the 'Sorrel. That's the life.

Hmmm I would read that as a different 'place' than Milan or Leicester in that case...

She obviously really enjoyed the tour around Nottingham that the rest of the new signings get

Stranger things have happened, Iborra moved to Saffron Lane which was clearly more plush than Seville!

Caceres is an interesting one. Linked before if I remember correctly, no idea how credible it was though.

I won’t believe we can sign anyone until we can get rid of the players that have been on the books for so long.

It will naturally happen in the summer, when we the 20m per annum drops off the wage bill with so many contracts expiring. 
 

I guess that is why we are waiting for this season to finish, before reviewing our position. 

[Ric Flair]

It is a market we need to do more in, especially in light of how appalling we are at moving players on when we no longer want them.

 

Saving on transfer fees can help alleviate some of that burden and possibly make it more attractive for buyers, obviously we need to continue to lower our wage bill too.

 

Some realistic targets from outside the top leagues:

 

Luka Ilic - Troyes

Callum O'Hare - Coventry

Nico Melamed - Espanyol

Nathan Wood - Swansea (inverted full back candidate)

Harrison Burrows - Peterborough (LCB/inverted full back candidate)

Bence Dardai - Hertha Berlin

Gabriel Misehouy - Ajax (huge talent and is leaving this summer which is a big surprise)

Sinclair Armstrong - QPR (I'm convinced he's a superstar in the making. Seen flashes of it this season)

Pedro Santos - Benfica

Seems to get linked with clubs every window, reckon he'll go to a club a step up from us though
