Bilal El Khannouss - officially joined

[foxfanazer]

Have to seriously question the intentions of any player wanting to join us right now. Other than a payday I can't see what the attraction would be

Potential stepping stone maybe?

Maybe but are you really gonna be able to impress other clubs with your performances here?

Depends just how bad we are going to be. Wages probably wouldn't be too bad either.  I think the manager is a big reason not to come though.

Kristof is tier 1 on Belgian stuff.

if we don’t agree a fee quickly then expect someone else to come in and gazump us.  I don’t recall us agreeing deals in the past where we were bidding well below what the selling club wanted. We usually go up in increments of  half a million over a period of three weeks …

 

Would this be (at least) the third deal this window where we’ve done the legwork for someone else to buy a player ??

Our first question to any prospective signing should be: “Do you actually want to join us?”And if they say yes, we should immediately reject them for lacking ambition.

This is the one you should definitely follow, was spot on with Pratt and Timmy Chestnuts.

Maybe we're just lowballing them?

LCFC with the Graucho Marx approach to negotiations.

 

You don’t like our opening bid? We have others…

[Ric Flair]

They are ready to sell him because they have Konstantinos Karetsas coming through who's equally as promising.

 

If they want anything more than €25m then walk away, it's far too much.

The fabulous architecture and history of the famous Leicester city centre and wonderful landscape of the surrounding county? 

[EnderbyFox]

Pay what they want, continually watching Ndidi play attacking midfield is like witnessing war crimes over and over again

It ain't official til our good friend Ekrem Konur says it's official! 

[LestaLad]

Kristof is Tier One so good chance this happens imo.

He has 1/4m followers…. Either he’s got a great rack or he knows something about football transfers?

I just don't agree with this. I feel something similar about people getting hysterical about no manager wanting to join. 

 

If you're not in the Premier League, you've usually got a lot to gain by being in the Premier League. 

 

For a start, the wages are ridiculous. For seconds, the exposure is great and if the perception of Leicester is that we're a dumpster fire then you don't get too much stink on you if you struggle. 

 

We all still want Hamer, Sheffield were terrible. Marco Silva (and a lot of others) have been sacked by Watford and nobody blames him for it. 

 

You do a year at Leicester, Maresca has proven it's a good audition for a manager and if you're a player, you're probably in a strong bargaining position to get a suitable release clause in your contract these days. 

 

We've always been a stepping stone, we're just now more of one.

Low ball bid for a highly rated young baller to appease the fans before moving on to signing a rb and another keeper…. Doing transfers the Rudkin way!

I’m sure we’re v interested based on his info 

we may even have bid officially (or it could have been a conversation- ‘we’re prepared to offer €15m - what do you think?’ ).  But terreur says we were knocked back

He has seen we are only 5 points off top of the league and thinks we have a chance 😬

Totally agree. Way more to gain than lose. Especially financially.

Look at Onana - young, highly rated who went to Everton who were in a similar predicament (points deduction, relegation favourites) and now he’s playing CL football at Villa

This is really outside the usual scope of: he is too good for us, he is too crap for us, why would he want to live in Leicester, he is too expensive usual set of reasons! Just gone straight to, 'no one should join us, and if they do it's obviously some kind of scam'! 😄
