John Percy - LCFC Transfers 2014

[dpjfox]

Any regular viewer of this site could have compiled that list!

I can't be the only one who wonders why Aaron Cresswell is being so widely chosen as a potential target?

I haven't seen him play, bar against us, and never really stood out. Can't say I've seen much else of him?

he was in the champ team of the year

Suprised City ain't linked with Jordan Rhodes.

 

 

 

Just dont seem like a Pearson type of signing - the transfer fee, i mean....

[morris1234]

As was Wayne Bridge last year...

I think Percy isn't as informed as he once was before when he was on the ball for most transfers, not doubting his credibility but I doubt we would be spending just 10 million.

Exactly, does not make sense as I've said in previous posts, If you look at the bottom 7 teams in the premiership, they spent approximately the following  in season 2013 -14.

 

11th C. Palace      19 Million on 19 Players  * Promoted season 2012-13

 

14th Sunderland    27 Million  on 13 Payers

15th A Villa            18 Million  on 7   Players

16th Hull City       25 Million on 11 Players * Promoted season 2012-13

17th WBA              12 Million on  5  Players

18th Norwich City  26 Million on  7  Players

19th Fulham          20 Million on  20 Players

20th Cardiff          36 Million on  12 Players * Promoted season 2012-13

 

None of these figures include monies for the sale of players.

It's interesting that the 3 Newly promoted teams spent a total of around 80 million in there 1st season's in the premiership, that's an average SPENT of around 26.6 million each newly promoted club!!

so I have to agree with you Happy Fox "I doubt we will spend just 10 Million"

How many Riyad Mahrez type signings can we make with £10 million though? ðŸ˜

Nigel could probably sign at least 4 if not 5 good players for that amount.

Suppose your right.

 

We could even get a couple of loans in from the Prem, like Tomas Kalas & Nick Powell.

John Percy is well informed and what he's written is pretty much what will happen

 

Its a club/business decision to not break the bank just because we've reached the Prem. We have the making of a good squad already that dominated the Championship. Add a few quality additions and its a squad that can compete in the Prem

 

Long term i think we will spend a lot more on transfers but it'll be as the club/squad/team grows.

 

As Pearson has already said - he see's them money grapping side of transfers as a disrupting influence. He'll make 4/5 signings of players with the right attitude towards the squad.

 

The most interesting thing that's not really spoken about it Pearsons quote along the lines of ''Most of the signings will be players you've not heard about/of'' - again highlighting his distrust of the more popular transfer targets

We would've had Powell this season had he not have been a greedy bastard

[jammie82uk]

Sky sports presenters at the Brighton play off match identified LCFC scouts in the crowd, hopefully not to watch Ulloa but if it was hopefully we are no longer interested in him, he is shite!

It was Inigo Idiakez who was there he's our under 16's coach

Who used to play for derby. Not much of a story there

Which is the reason why he won't be coming this summer

[hackneyfox]

Another itk?

[Out Foxed]

Another itk?

Yes, he's posted before

As was Wayne Bridge last year...

And?

[dave_the_fox]

qwerty, ramadaone and bert (to an extent 😉) are the ones to listen too ðŸ‘ðŸ‘ðŸ‘

[Tommythefox06]

A better option than Nick Powell would be Jesse Lingard, been here before, had a great season with Birmingham and Brighton on loan, great attitude and plenty of ability.

Seemed a little too happy to score against us, + I don't think neither Man U and Jesse were particularly happy with his "lack" of match time.

Possibly but he's come on as a player and matured a lot this season, would do well here in my opinion, and can play wide or behind a main striker

I love it when ITK's combine 😜

[foxoffderby]

Should that be when ITK attack

He wasn't ready when he came here, showed some nice touches and play but was too lightweight. An extra year and he seems to have come on a lot like some of our own.

I know John Percy is usually pretty accurate but £10 mill sounds awfully low especially as Vichai has been saying that they'll put in £180 million over next 3 seasons. I know that won't all be spent on transfers but it would suggest there's more than £10 mill in the pot.

Not to mention how well a number of United players have fitted in here already, could come on loan or might be available for a sensible fee.

I can imagine a scenario which sees £10m allowed this summer, with a similar amount available for the 2015 January transfer window.

Leicester City will spend much more than 10 million in the transfers market in season 2014-15, that's for certain. So don't get hung up by this so called 10 million budget. We will compete in the same way as everybody else does in the Premiership.
