I agree, it's all dependent on cost. Front line options of Isak, Pedro, Gordon, Barnes, Murphy, Dibling and Osula looks pretty good to me though
-
Even if that RW has the potential to be exceptional? I imagine the same argument was made for replacing Dan Burn with a first team ready left back - we bought one who was expensive and with little experience and he is now arguably the best English left back in the league. If we buy someone with potential for the RW spot I will trust that the club have made the decision not just for next season but with the following season and those after that.

Why? We definitely need a new RW, but behind Salah and Mbeumo we had arguably the best performing right winger in the country. Whilst we cant rely on Murphy having another season like that I also don't think we can expect Eddie to drop Murphy as soon as we get a new player in that position. A young player with a very high ceiling who wont expect to start every game but already has the experience and ability to be able to play in the PL sounds pretty perfect to me, particularly if we are looking at Pedro too.

Yeah, but we are looking for players to improve the first xi. Buying relatively cheap players with potential for the youth team/to loan out (such as kinteh and corduroy) is fine and I'm sure we will continue to do that, but people seem to want us to buy first team ready players for pennies. In order to improve on our current first xi we are going to have to spend big, whether it's domestically or from Europe.

Do they pay more than us these days? I thought the wages they were paying recently were much more in line with us
-
So we are either signing Pedro or some surprise target from Europe. Good way to hedge your bets I suppose
-
Surely Dubravka is going to be off to Saudi? I imagine the new contract included an understanding that he would be allowed to move but it would allow us to receive a fee for him
-
Going back to the way he set up at Bournemouth?
-
Jamie Vardy isn't looking so bad now, eh?
-
How will the most fouled player in the league deal with getting fouled?
-
The only player from Leicester that I thought might be a good fit for us was El Khannouss - I was impressed every time I saw him play
-
Maresca looks like he's been painting his living room before the game
-
Is Palmer's hair some sort of elaborate comb over?
-
Russel Martin said he thinks Dibling will end up as an 8 or a 10 eventually, so he has some versatility too.
