You aren’t getting a proven really good championship player for £10m. You said a young player, which generally means unproven. And you also CANNOT guarantee any sale whatsoever, which is the point.

Jonathan Rowe is supposedly going to Leeds for £10m.

Alright own up who's changed his Wikipedia page to current club as Leicester City, squad no. 14, it's not you is it Jon Rudkin

So;

 

1) Hat-trick on home debut 

2) Breaks ankle badly soon after

3) Falls out with everyone on return

4) Leaves club

 

Cool

i doubt we're that lucky, he'll never score a hatrick

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

Thing with Wilf is he needs to motivated. What about our shady project will motivate Mr Moody? 

[justfoxes]

Hearing he’s on his way for a medical, not sure about this one don’t think he’s better than what we already have?

 

mind you most won’t believe anything unless he’s been seen in Morrisons !!😉😂

BDCR is 14. Wilfs 11 from Palace is free though…

My bad, I only skimmed the last 1-2 pages. 

Wilf Zaha to Leicester! This could either go terribly wrong or incredibly right.

 

I always knew Rudkin was a genius.

you shouldn't ever buy players because no one will ever want to buy them off you, so pay more each season to loan them instead 

[BillyFOX12]

Wilf doesn't have the best injury record. No worries, Seagrave will sort him out.

 

[inckley fox]

It all depends on the extent to which they're giving up on this season. If they're expecting crippling sanctions and are cutting their cloth accordingly, we'll end up looking at this as a waste of money. If players, manager and board believe there are serious prospects of staying up, maybe it makes sense.

We're going to need to have his legs wrapped in bubble wrap.

Well my whole point has been Zaha does not commit you beyond this season cost wise. Any other signing does, so suggesting a player for x amount on x contract and saying we can just sell him, does not work. 

[Molson Canadian]

Will be in the starting 11 for Spurs i think. 

[Claudio Fannieri]

Financially it isn’t the horrific deal some are making it out to be. 
 

The reason we are paying such a high fee is because Gala are covering his wages due to tax implications and so if he were on £100k and we paying his wages that would be £5.2m of the outlay. 
 

It is actually quite a sensible deal in the sense of how it has been structured. If the club can pull it off it would be a statement signing. 

[Saxondale]

He might be expensive but he is also shit hot. Good players usually cost a lot of money.

[Craig]

We need a match winner, and he is that. It's a no brainer so long as he is motivated.
