Disgusting news if true.

 

But I’m hearing Bade Aluko and Jayden Joseph are being loaned out, with Francis Benali and Jason Dodd coming in.

When is Ali Dia signing?

[FoxSince88]

The word was Jakub didn’t want to return to Leicester and had something lined up in Poland, Seems that hasn’t come to fruition.

Think i said this before on another thread but our priority is adding experience to this squad to help our youngsters bed into life as a senior footballer where they will be against professional shitkickers every week. Chaplin, Ings and McCarthy signings are cheap, booked for the short term accounts and will be useful both on and off the pitch. This is the reality of where we are as a football club and its exactly what pearson did back in League One.

We have there scraps and give them big contracts 

[moore_94]

At least he wasn’t in goal for our 9-0

 

But he was for the Man Utd one

This. Albeit it limited evidence so far, Vieites seems more suited to Russelball, so if we are losing one to be replaced McCarthy as backup, think I would rather Stolarczyk be the one to move on.

5 year contract incoming

It's got to be an agent thing hasn't it? It's inexplicable otherwise.

 

Got to be an agent linked with Martyn Glover I'd suspect. Whole things looks dodgy to me.

 

The whole thing is beyond a joke now. It's absolutely pathetic 

 

 

[surrifox]

Starting to think there’s some sort of Ted Lasso style plot to destroy this club 

[Tommy G]

Likely 3rd choice keeper - hardly a meltdown moment is it 

[HP1]

 

This seasons 3rd kit

[5waller5]

Such an odd signing if he is 3rd choice.

 

A third choice keeper with our finances is a luxury we can’t afford (especially as emergency loans are allowed if no fit keeper available).

 

If we do find it necessary to have one then surely sign a young prospect that can improve throughout the season and play the couple of games if required

[Claudio Fannieri]

I have a feeling Stolarcryk will move on, I think he will have suitors in the championship and we could easily net £5m+ including bonuses etc 

 

If so Vietas as starting keeper with McCarthy as back up wouldn’t be a bad option. Plus he is a good solid pro so again makes sense, I have a feeling McCarthy, Ings and Chaplin have been identified as not only decent players for league one but also players who can come in as leaders of the group and reset what has been a disgrace of a senior leadership group. 
 

reminds me a lot of how Pearson operated, bring in his experienced leaders early days to help set standards and culture and then bring in the younger players around them.

I'd imagine Vietes is doing all he can to get a move. 

If something comes in for Jakub we will have to cash in but I don't think he's done enough for someone from the championship to come in for him, not as first choice anyway.

I don't see anyone paying 5m, think we would be lucky to get 1-2m. 

 

But it pure profit so the club will be interested.

I agree. Weren’t Norwich interested last summer? I’m sure around £4 mill was suggested then. Since then, he has a year left not 2, and his stock has dropped, even though I hold the senior players responsible much more than the younger players like Stolarcryk and Nelson who were having there breakout seasons. 
 

Similarly to Nelson, with Jakub, it seems very much a case of take a nominal fee (probably no more than £2 mill for either) or lose for free.

I did say £5m+ including bonuses. Base fee I don’t see us getting more than £2-2.5m but with appearances and promotion bonuses could easily hit £5m In total for a player who is still relatively young and with potential.

It's like we watched Liverpool buy the likes of Lovren, Mane, Lallana, Van Dijk, Lambert and Clyne and thought "this must be how it's done".
