dbtcity Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 We’ve seen how these type of transfers unfold to be fair and I guess it all hinges on the player kicking up a stink and making some noise to try and force the move… can’t imagine he’ll be to happy seeing a move to the prem with him doubling his wages being blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 (edited) If we're getting outbid by Bournemouth and Leeds, we have no chance against the Saudi government.

They never came and we may just be on another wild goose chase at this moment. I want to see players coming in, we do not have to go gung-ho at another shiny object. Other clubs have picked up quality players for less than half the fees we were looking to splash out. Let us get back to proper scouting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FosseSpark Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 It's 100% clear that this fella will not be being shuffled through East Midlands Airport any time soon. He's a big asset for Fiorentina and at least 5 or 6 clubs are after versatile wide forwards. If i didn't know better i'd think King Power think that relegation is a better way to reinvent the squad and get out of current contracts penalty free (including the managers) than staying up is. It would appear our transfer policy is aimed solely at the purpose of achieving relegation as soon as possible. There are champo clubs spending more than Leicester and we've been in the Prem solidly for 10 years, Europe for 3 of them and won 3 trophies.......beggars belief that we could be in a worse financial position, relative to our premier league competitors, at the end of that period of success than at the start of it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is true, best look at other options. Sadly this is becoming a very relevant part of the Premier League today. Teams awash with money can outspend us. Personally I don't want our team to become another sports washing project but it's becoming increasingly clear that's the only way to compete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rigga Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 I know we need players but £30m for this guy is prob £10m too much.. never mind having to go more than £30m to actually get him.. over 2 weeks in to the window and we are a million miles it seems from getting any one in… in our desperate situation with shit players and injuries we ought to have a couple in already.. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 16 January 2023 Share Posted 16 January 2023 We could spend money if we hadn't overspent on wages. Praet, Perez, Mendy, Ward, Vestergaard, Bertrand etc have been on far too much as squad players. They've not even played 10% of available minutes over the course of their contracts. We're a top 25 revenue club in the world, the TV money and (massive) sales are more than enough for us to compete but our transfers activity has been shit. Congerton shouldn't have been allowed in the building. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
