Hes not cheap though. Hes their star player

You’d like to think we aren’t going to bid silly on him but **** knows. I do actually think another option on the wings for rotation wouldn’t hurt. Don’t think Silko Thomas will be the answer put it that way

Far more areas that need priortising over another winger

I agree but transfers don’t work that way. They don’t look at one position at a time. They’ll be bidding potentially on multiple players in multiple positions 

[moore_94]

Unless we are selling Mav I don't see the point in us signing another left winger

 

Although Monga can also play on the right he has been doing well on the left so we should just crack on with him there

 

More likely to get more game time on the left with his competition being Mav rather than on the right with Fatawu I think as well

[Leicester_Loyal]

Every summer we finally get rid of 3 or 4 overpaid dross, then we sign another 2 or 3 old overpaid dross, it's a never ending circle. Why are we even bidding for him, he's 30 years of age ?

How depressing is that list bar fatawu and monga 

[JimJams]

The thing is even if you were keen on him as a player, his key attribute seems to be his crossing.  We currently have no real centre forward.  As is, if we're going to add wide players we need players capable of cutting in and being a goal threat themselves.  Presumably why a link to Solomon makes sense.  We need a goalscorer through the door before we could take a player like this, and if we don't get one for the CF role then any wide players need to be essentially wide forwards rather than traditional wingers.

[Dan]

This is a proper red flag for me. I'm not knocking him necessarily as a player, he's clearly good at this level, but it's precisely the sort of deal, Winks like, his ceiling aged 30 is probably upper Championship - we should not be spending good money on that in this position, particularly on a position we're strong in already.

 

We could maybe do with a winger on loan but it should be about 4th, 5th priority for us. Spending a big chunk of money on him would indicate nothing has been learned.

If they have indeed made it clear that it'll take a "seriously large offer" then hopefully we take the hint and look elsewhere rather than obliging

[Tuna]

Bizarre. It's a Stoke/Preston/Millwall signing.

[Swarles Barkley]

Either classic Leicester with shite transfer policy or a way to say we tried to sign players but nothing happened

[Mickyblueeyes]

I don’t want him. Not that I think he is no good or anything. I don’t want any wingers if we keep our current lot. I like the idea of Silko and Monga developing with Abdul and Stephy. Any signing on either wing hinders that development. 

[kingfox]

We probably view him as a McAteer replacement. 
 

Pompey fans seem to love him, plenty regard him as their best player, some say they shouldn’t entertain offers under £10 million. 
 

If we whacked £10 million on Josh Murphy, they’d be quite the uproar, when that kind of fee should be going on a striker or central midfielder.

 

He had a very good 24/25 season where he was one of the best wingers in the Championship, if he came and replicated somewhere near his assist output from last season, we’d probably end up loving him. 
 

But if we can’t get him in that £3-5 million price bracket, then sack it off and move on. 

[Chief Keef]

I’d much rather Alves be given a chance. I personally thought he performed well for Cardiff out wide and at present backing up for Fatawu would be the ideal role for him.

What an absolutely diabolical link. Hopefully rubbish, because if true suggests we have learnt nothing.

On match days when our kickoff times don't sync up with Newcastle do we reckon we could sneak Jacob in in his place?

 

If so gerrumin.

[Ric Flair]

Extremely odd

[JimJams]

Apparently WBA are in for him just to allay any fears. 

[Iwebema]

If its cheap say £2m and hes in addition to a CM & a Striker. Then fine, I dont think its completely necessary, but no harm in adding depth.

 

If its £5m+ and our only signing. Its insane

[Lesta2014]

Can he play in the 10 as opposed to wing?
