What I dont like is this term of "getting rid", if tielemans goes there is no doubt in my mind that our squad will see a large drop off in quality. We have no concrete targets as of now, anyone we bring in will likely be a substantial downgrade. When we lost mahrez we brought in Pereira and maddison who could help fill the hole that was inadequately filled by Ghezzal. Now our starting XI is getting to the level where our recruitment is struggling to sign players of the quality we need to fill in the holes, most of our signings in recent years have had low impact on arrival. Anyone we sign will be a downgrade on Youri and as recent windows show we wont be able to sign in other areas to help cover up that loss. From a footballing perspective losing youri will be a huge loss for next season. How do you know this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually something would have come out about us being in talks with players/agents/clubs by now. We're not moving for anyone because of our financial situation which means we any transfer targets we do have might not be available by the time we sell players. When the club are in a situation where they dont have a clear idea for who they want to bring in we usually bring in crap.

However, a one year deal where we are in the exact same position this time next year is not a great thing. This club functions on selling one asset - the system at the moment is broken.Youri reluctantly signing a 1 year extension does us no favours. Youri signing a three year deal (which will not happen) is something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming that we have no concrete targets because you haven't read about them in the media is a big step. Many of our best signings have come under the radar. I'm sure the club has a very clear idea of who they would like to bring in once we've sold some players. Obviously the longer it takes for us to sell players, the more risk there will be that our targets have gone elsewhere, but that doesn't mean we haven't identified who we'd like to bring in.

st albans fox Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 The de jong saga is going to keep on running …..there are rumours that he simply doesn’t want to live in Manchester (Cheshire). I guess this becomes a stand off where Barca try and find a club that will pay the fee and the 17m wages. Interested clubs (where the player will agree to go to) will run the clock down knowing that Barca sort of have to sell. again, we cannot afford to become part of this saga. Anyone who we’re looking at to replace YT will not hang around waiting for us and their club will not allow them to move late in the window also. Of course we could be in a situation where we’ve committed to buying a replacement in this window but have requested that the deal is done as late as possible so as to allow us to play poker with a club looking to buy youri. So if arsenal or yanited come calling in a few weeks, we simply say that we won’t sell as too late and it would have to be a silly offer to convince us. i’d be looking at clubs who have already bought a replacement for a player we’ve been linked to. if they have a ready made one from within then that won’t work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finn Claw II Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 I’d argue that clubs aiming for CL (e.g. Arsenal) need to make strategic signings even more than we do. It’s not just the value to us, it is also the value to them. If Tielmans is the player to help them push on to top 4, then they can’t risk us letting him run his contract down and leave on a free. it’s all quite dynamic. This is when you need Daniel Levy at the helm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some months ago, when we were talking about potential future transfers for us, I made a point that some players might not want to live in Leicester.

If it is true, how De Jong rejecting to live in Manchester is a major problem? He can go and live in Liverpool or they can buy him a 2m house in Harrogate or something.

If I recall Martin O'Neil wanted his players to live in the county, you might find that one or two still live around these parts when they retired.
