Edingleyfox Posted 1 August Share Posted 1 August (edited) Rodgers said yesterday in an interview that the bids received so far were not even close to their valuation. If he did go to Southampton the reaction on here won't be great considering that nearly all the other midfielders linked to Leicester look defensive to me. I'm not sure how all this impacts on the Hatate situation but wouldn't want to wait until the end of the window to find out Edited 1 August by Edingleyfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An attacking mid who scores & assists. I'm assuming that the 25million that Celtic want is a little too much money for us right now. When are we going to sell somebody ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think we’re short of money but sense we’re looking for value and players we can sell at a profit (I’m ignoring the Ayew rumour here). We then have to persuade them to join us. With O’Reilly the story seems to be his preference for Italy or reuniting with Brussel Martin. The story might be wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With O’Reilly the story seems to be his preference for Italy or reuniting with Brussel Martin. The story might be wrong? Apparently he very much wants to play for Denmark & feels that he needs more exposure than Celtic can offer. So either a top European league or the Premier league will do the job for him. The problem is that no club has come close to Celtic's 25 million evaluation. Maybe Kasper can have a chat with the lad & tell him that Leicester is his best bet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be our angle if he's prioritising International opportunities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, The problem is VK thinks he's nuch better than he is. He's not good enough unless he listens to the Coaches and learns from them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a wing back type of full back who wants to bomb forward as opposed to staying back in the Enzo three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with what you say, But Enzo was prepared to play Doyle and JJ there which is why Enzo wanted him to play the left side of a three. The rest we know, He chose to leave for Italy where he done ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had time off due to being at the Euros so he's played in the one friendly he's been available for. I would love to know more about how you've determined he thinks he's better than he is because as far as I can tell there is no substance to that whatsoever. He went to Bologna because he wanted to play as a full back not because he thought he was above the Championship, and even if he did think that I'd suggest the fact he went on to be first choice for a team who qualified for the Champions League would mean he had a fair point.

Clever Fox Posted 1 August Share Posted 1 August Yes, So were others in the squad but even so he was still overlooked as first choice. He came into our club with no pedigree in Football other than a modest club. Yet he proceeded to know more than the Manager, What does that tell you about his attitude. A Manger who has just won the Championship. Why didn't he accept instruction like Mads, Mav, Fats, Wilf, KDH etc. All players Enzo improved immensely. Rogers signed him but he wasn't to keen on him either after seeing him up close. Yes, he went to Bologna and done ok, He didn't play all games and Bologna clearly don't think him good enough to buy him for a modest sum. But we'll see as the how he develops under Cooper as the season develops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wanted to be part of the Denmark squad at the euros who use traditional fullbacks. We got a loan fee for him and he had a good season in Bologna, we welcome back a better player and one who now better suits the system I think you’re reading into things far too much 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doyle, Ricky and JJ. He was part of the Denmark squad and we know how that turned out. Against better opposition he fail miserably. I could well be, But I'm yet to be convinced by him from what I've seen. I think he'll be found out quickly but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's supposed to be doing what's best for Leicester not himself, That's why we signed him. If you can't see that you know little about pro football. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
