goose2010 Posted 20 February 2020 Share Posted 20 February 2020 Arsenal, Everton, and Leicester are among seven clubs tracking Gent starlet Jonathan David, according to reports. Young American (although players for Canada) striker stats are very impressive for this season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 20 February 2020 Share Posted 20 February 2020 (edited) A bit skeptical about how big our budget will be in the summer without selling our best players. At best, if we sold our reserves we could maybe make 40m in sales. Amartey - 4m? Benkovic - 3m loan fee? Slimani - 8m? (Last year of contract) Silva, Ghezzal, Diabate - 5m? (Loan fees. Have a bad feeling we won’t be able to sell!) Gray - 10m? Albrighton - 10m? That’s being optimistic. So without selling our best players, the question is how far do the owners want to go into the red this summer, because we’ll certainly need to spend more than 40m! Looking at previous windows, our net spend (according to transfermarkt) has been: 16/17: -23m 17/18: -40m 18/19: -18m 19/20: -15m Based on the above, we’d hopefully have 90m or so to spend, which would leave us -50m in the red at the end of the window.

CosbehFox Posted 20 February 2020 Share Posted 20 February 2020 Apparently watching Jonathan David tonight, plays for Genk (this evening facing Roma), Canadian striker. 33 goals in 78 games all competitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's certainly not room for 3 strikers who all would expect to play regularly for a team that plays 1 up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its highly likely that one of these days he just wont be able to do it anymore and could decline rapidly. (hope not but its realistic that he will at 33+) We should be going into next year with a slightly open mind and 100% should sign a striker of equal quality.

All the strikers of "equal quality" are either over 30 or would cost £100 m + . It is bound to be a difficult transition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester City Actual league position: 9th Matches televised: 15 TV income: £17.9million Prize money: £22.8million Equal share: £79.4million Total: £120.1million We've had 16 PL games screened already with our next 5 into March already selected. We're already looking at an extra 6-7 million extra, possibly rising to 10m with 7 games still be chosen for TV. Chelsea earned £34.2million in prize money for coming 3rd, so we could be looking at an extra £12m if we consolidate 3rd or £14m if we snatch 2nd. All in all we stand to earn at least £140m, or an extra £20m than usual. As for net spend - it depends on if we sell any major player this summer. It would certainly help finances if we did but it would be a massive, massive statement if we don't. Personally I hope it's the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll do well to get rid of one of those players and get a fee for them in the summer. You've been trying to shift guys like Slimani, Ghezzal, Diabate, etc for years now and no one has touched them because of their wages. Best you can hope for is for clubs to take these players on loan and pay the majority of their wages until their contracts expire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is bound to be a difficult transition. Luckily we have 1 of the best scouting systems in the premier league then isnt it. There is quality out there for very reasonable prices you just have to search for them. I'm hoping the scouts have been searching since we sold Mahrez and in the summer we get a similar player in return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TBH, not terribly worthy of mention given those goals have come in games against mostly part-timers of the US Virgin Islands, Martinique, Dominica, French Guiana (not to be confused with Guyana or French Guinea ), Haiti, and Cuba (2 games). His 19 goals in 36 games for Gent this season (an upgrade from 14 in 43 games last season) is however a decent scorecard for a young player. > Edited 21 February 2020 by NaijaFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 21 February 2020 Share Posted 21 February 2020 Can't see us getting Henderson but it would be a cracking buy if so. Must admit I'm more and more starting to see the case for buying a keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzy_Larsson Posted 23 February 2020 Share Posted 23 February 2020 McGregor being linked again in the rags this morning, £25m. I’d hate to lose him as we’d need to sign about three players to replace him. He’s kicked on to another level again this season, he’s been absolutely immense. I can see the logic in Leicester’s interest tbh, a bit too much sideways passing in your midfield and McGregor would pick up the ball, carry it and make penetrating passes forward more. I never seen much of him last season when people were raving about him but based on the games I’ve seen this season, which are a fair few then he’s a better player than Tielemans. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tielemans was playing week in week out in that mickey mouse league he'd be untouchable. I saw an article written by a celtic fan who claimed he is better then Maddison and meant it 😂 Maddison, Tielemans, Ndidi, Praet and arguably Choudhury are all better I'm afraid.

It’s that sort of snooty nosed, snob like attitude that saw Palace miss out on VVD for the tune of £8m. Thankfully, your scouting system and those running the club aren’t so narrow minded given the £19m bid that was rejected for McGregor in the summer. I’d imagine it would be things like McGregor dominating Milenkovic-Savic on his own turf, against the side that are second in Serie A, a player who has been linked with Europe’s top teams for in the region of £100m that will make them believe he’s a good option as opposed to run of the mill SPFL games. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
