Summer 2021 transfer window

[Deutsch Wolf]

You can probably add Gray into that mix as well.

I would but I'm going out in a couple of hours and I don't want to set Fred off on his quest to make him the next Ronaldo.

Leicester have bought a load of pups along the way, don't buy the narrative.

How much did Ward, Benkovic, Silva, Iborra, Praet, Musa, Kapustka, Ghezzal, Slimani and Perez cost between them? Two of those have never even played a league game for them. Iheanacho was shite for years as well before hitting a good patch last season.

Around £150m - ouch.

Can’t see it with Rice, a decent player, nothing more

maybe gold tinted glasses but I think neves is exceptional. Like jota, if he plays in a top team he would instantly become better

I do like the leicester model and yes they tend to have a big player being sold most summers. However to do that recruitment needs to be correct / young players coming through and more times than not they seem to get it right.

also helps that they have English players to sell with the ‘English premium’ attached. Unfortunately, being Portugal MK2 doesn’t help us in that aspect

Conveniently forgetting we already got one of the best strikers in the league for him to cross to.

So did Bruno the other day when he referred to Neves and Traore as 'our best players'...

Because it was in reference to the players being linked away?

Yeah, I read the article. Just a light-hearted observation... I like Bruno.

"From my point of view we have to protect our best players. Ruben and Adama are our best players."

Two of our best players would have been more accurate

 

[The Saturday Boy]

By and large Leicester aren't trying to do it by buying teenagers though. That's the flaw for me, not the selling a top player for top money and reinvesting back in the team element.

But look at some of the players that were not teenagers they have spent a lot of money on recently who haven‘t done much (appearances in brackets) Silva (14), Ahmed (21), Ghezzal (19), Benkovic (0), Iborra (27). Leicester’s transfer record with established players is patchy.

They did, but all clubs get them wrong. Issue is if we’re only signing 1 or 2 first team players in an already small squad then we need really good hit rate. Particularly when recently our hit rate hasn’t been great.

Imagine if we'd spent 20m on a player who only made 20 league appearances for us. There would be literal pitchforks and torches out.

 

[Tony Towner]

Cutrone is thereabouts

 

[Nando]

Romano reporting that Adama is 'prepared to join' Spurs.

Sure he is but are Spurs prepared to offer actual money though.

Clear the insulting loan offer we apparently received was just part of the old unsettle a player routine.

 

[prawnking]

Surely lovely Nuno wouldn't be party to such Wolves-shafting antics?

I haven't seen a tweet from him on it today?

Edit: seen it is on a podcast

 

[jd1981]

If a sensible offer comes in for him it’ll be hard to stop him moving whilst the offer is derisory Traore will understand the move isn’t possible.

Mentioned in his poddy

 

[Carrotdude]

Not even a whisper of any incomings still.

 

[jd1981]

If he goes with no incomings the fanbase will be well within there rights to ask what the hell is going.
Would leave us with 2 fit wide players.

Half the fan base would still swallow whatever bullshit they put out there

2?? Who else are you counting apart from loanee Trincao?
