indierich06 Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 We all debate over the affordability of our summer window, and how it will be financed, but Rodgers has explicitly stated they'll be looking to strengthen this summer, with 3-5 signings, and that some players will be leaving. So I'd imagine there is more than likely a transfer budget in place, with targets in mind, augmented by expected fees driven from player sales. The club will have forecasted this stuff as much as they can - and I'd imagine they are already talking to agents and clubs about potential fees for both incoming and outgoing players. Don't sweat the money, the club have made their intentions clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Surely time to revisit this transfer with all the links we've had recently? There was a very interesting profile of Madueke in The Guardian today: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2022/apr/07/noni-madueke-players-realising-world-outside-england-psv-leicester?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other Quote Madueke is one of the most-wanted English talents and Leicester are among those keen to sign the winger. On Wednesday, Rodgers described him as “dynamic … with a nice left foot”. “Some would say it’s an audition,” Madueke says, laughing. Madueke says he plans on being back in England “definitely sooner rather than later”. He says: “I want to come back and show everybody what I am about and capable of. There are teams that are interested in me, I know that. I am playing against Leicester, but every team will be watching the game and me. It is just another game I have to play well in. People are starting to take note of what I’m doing.” Ok, so maybe an audition for more than just Leicester - but promising comments nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on his injury, and especially given his age, Vardy may well be closer to the end than we care admit. Werner doesn’t have his finishing - yet - but for me is the closest to his style of play in the PL. Probably a pipe-dream, on my part, as suspect his wages and even the medium transfer fee may be beyond us, but I think he’d be superb here in a team where he’s loved. We're not signing Werner, but I don't think most people are under any illusions about the end not being pretty close for Vardy, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure you’re correct. On both counts. But as most of this thread is little more than everyone’s footballing wet-dream ….. I thought I’d add mine 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No point speculating on Vardy, the man doesn't follow the rules or what's expected of a 35 year old. He's still got a few stories left to write but we know we cannot rely on him any longer to be the difference. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a player with his quality, you really could not envisage how he has failed to even be passable player for his team. Kai Havertz I envisaged to be a great player and was to be a sensation this season, but it has not happened, but I still believe in the right team he will be priceless.

Stadt Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Can't say I know anything about him but this geezer has insane stats for Toulouse. 6'3, 26 year old midfielder with 12 goals and 18 (!!) assists from central midfield, primarily from set pieces but interesting. https://fbref.com/en/players/99d660b2/Branco-van-den-Boomen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats maybe boosted by penalties but boy is he effective. Love his set pieces, plenty of whip on the ball and picks a space and aims for it. Just what I would expect professional players to do but it is a very small amount of players who passes and puts in crosses where the pace is so quick that the keeper is never going to come for it and his team mates do not have to jump to get on the end of corners or free kicks. If Youri goes, we definitely take this guy, not going to get caught in possession as he moves the ball on quickly, sees a pass and the weight is as it should be.

FoxyLeon Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Tonight has once again highlighted how we offer zero attacking threat when Albrighton plays. I'm also even more convinced that Tielemans leaving will be great for us. He's so awfully slow at everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kierzz Posted 7 April 2022 Share Posted 7 April 2022 Sell Choudary and Mendy . Then sign Sangare from PSV. Looks a top player after tonight's performance and is only 24. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger_Filbert Posted 8 April 2022 Share Posted 8 April 2022 Noni Madueke. The links seem to be gathering pace over on Twitter so it’s time he gets his own thread so we can all get over excited again. Seemed to work hard defensively and went on a couple of decent runs to show a little of what he can do, qualities BR certainly likes. He was chatting to a few of our players and Brendan after the game, hopefully telling him we want him if we haven’t already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like us to go in for him again in the summer, feel like he has the sort of profile we look for in a young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
