£10m+ Transfer Fund?

[sdb]

sounds to me a little like they're gonna have a say (to some degree) over who we sign. i'm not really up for that tbh. anyone know of any decent duty free chain owners that double up as successful scouts?

[FrankieADZ]

10 mil transfer fund

just hope its used in a wise manner tho.

[Mee]

Talk is cheap.

Lets celebrate when some decent signings start appearing, many of our rivals are signing far better players than us.

They have to sign decent players. We are elite already

Jesus wept. I never thought I'd see people get so giddy about a figure plucked from a Thai newspaper that no one's ever heard of.

Your right ...lets just be a mardy arsed fookin CVNT instead aye....

[Leicester_Loyal]

I say we buy Cardiff and send them into administration, just for a good old chin-wag.

Why do you actually bother repeatedly coming back after being banned time after time after time again for being a complete and total sceptre?

Do you really have nothing better to do with your time than troll on a bunch of people that would probably not spare a thought if you lost a limb?

I come back for the same reasons you do I love my club, I don't like what you have to say sometimes Fin.

But I suck it up and I dont MOAN!!

[Collymore]

You could get Akinbuyi, Big Trev and Matt Jones for that money! We're rich :scarf:

[Aumski]

His son Aiyawatt, now a Leicester director, said the club need quality defenders and midfielders but manager Paulo Sousa will be allowed to look for players he wants and Aiyawatt will then make a decision whether the club should buy them.

wait doe's this not mean that sousa has no real control over who he signs?! i see him getting very frustrated over the next couple of transfer windows.

Quite sensibly, Sousa chooses who he'd like and the owner decides if the club can afford him. Works the same in any business. I look at something I would like for our dept and my boss decides whether we have enough budget for it.

As long as Top doesn't suggest players, then this will work out ok...

The Bangkok Times or whatever it is, isn't widely distributed in the UK. Maybe that is why you haven't heard of it - but then the New York Times has similar distribution here - it doesn't mean to say they are less reliable than the Sun, N.O.W, The People, Mirror or Star - in fact that would probably be beyond belief!

I like the news, and guardedly I have no doubt our new owners did actually say what has been quoted.

[ibbosuk]

First time in along time I am excited about the kind of money that (IS) going to get spent on the 1st team.

I think that Heskey could well be here before the deadline, it just seems the right time for him, he's 32 coming to the end of his Premiership days, would be a massive buzz around the city if he finished his footballing carear "Back Home"....be Big shirt seller >>>(Just like Bellamy)<<<

Happy Days................

Comparing Bellamy to Heskey...............so Cardiff are doing their shopping at Harrod's and we're stuck with the bargain buckets in Lidl.

[Thracian]

Get as excited as you like about the proclaimed team-building pot but money doesn't guarantee anything.

Any club that could have wasted £5m plus on Ade Akinbiyi can just as easily waste £10m.

And by the time any new players are purchased and integrated, assuming they don't get injured, the potential to finish in the top two might already have receded dramatically.

This is not pessimism but realism. Sousa will clearly need at least 2-3 months to put the basis of his team together and with us already being five points off the pace, finishing first or second is already looking more difficult than it was even a fornight ago.

Furthermore the weight of being a moneybags club can hinder because others raise their game to beat you and opposition players can taunt you about expectations so even the psychology works against us.

It helps to get points quickly if you want to win titles and we have never looked like doing that because we weren't ready. But the football is encouraging and we need to work on our methods, improve our goals ratio from dead ball situations, get more players in the team who can score, rid the team of blatant weaknesses and be properly ready next season.

That will also give us time to evaluate our most important needs, research players properly and sign only people who will improve our side.

I agree with a lot of what you say, but why does everyone keep using this nonsense word 'guarantee'. Akinbiyi - WHAT? who was Akinbiyi? I have been trying to forget him for years. Nobody at Leicester now had any more to do with buying Akinbiyi than me or Rudolf the frigging reindeer! What makes anyone think that Sousa would by expensive crap like Akin frookoff biyi!!!!!

And we wont have anything to do with any future buys.

[OutFoxing-Cov-Since1884]

Slightly off topic, but how much do you think it would cost to lure Emile back here as I keep being told by different people he is on our hit list again?

I know a lot of people don't rate him, whilst others do. I also am of the view, ok he is older than he was, but played in his proper position of CF/Winger, he is a quality player on his day. Would love to see him back, so yeah.

Bring Back Emile Paulo!

It wasn't the club that wasted 5m on Akinbadbuy, it was Taylor who wasted 5m of the clubs money on him.

And that happened because O'Neill had been allowed to dictate how things happened.

This is another era, hopefully not another error.

[Alan Young]

Nor will Peter Taylor

Dead right Man City are not fav's for the prem after spending 300 Mil!!

But to know we have some decent backing in the transfer market sends an immediate buzz around everywhere,

you are being pessimistic in sighting our worst ever transfer deal!!!

Let’s not have any money to spend Thracian, and then we know for sure we can’t waste it.

There’s plenty of time to make up the ground on the front runners in this league,

the best two teams in this league will finish in the top two places, and if we invest the 10 million on the team we have a great chance be one of those teams.

The potential to finish in the top two has infact increased dramatically....By about 10,000,000%

You need a deadly finisher to play alongside him, we don't have one.

Another good point. The only thing I'm enthuased by is he (Paulo) keeps looking at foriegners to inject something new into our team, so I say, this is the football I've been waiting for us to play for seasons; attractive, passing - continental styled - football!

[DANGEROUS TIGER]

Don't expect too much this season, if we do spend. I would be happy with a top ten finish this season, and hopefully be ready to take on all comers next season, gaining promotion.

[tony soprano]

i bet heskey would cost 2 million

he would still be good at championship level, like a better version of steve howard
