I guess the reasoning behind their scouting approach so far is not being able to afford to take risks at this current stage. They wanted to build a solid base and they have done this succesfully. I think going forward now we will take more gambles/risky types of transfers, like that brazilian kid we've been linked with this morning.

But this shouldn't be a reason for them to not go for these kinds of players. People said the same type of things about Pope, Targett and Burn just because they weren't glamorous Isak type signings.

I hadn't heard of him until Arsenal were in for him close to deadline day. Looks like a beast though, like the winger version of Haaland in that he seems like a viking robot

Just reading back on this thread and there's some horrible takes back there, especially the people who were rating OGS above Potter

If it's true Rodgers was offered the Newcastle job, bet he's regretting like fuck not taking it after seeing the buzz around here and comparing that to the mood in Leicester.

This is already a thing in other sports right? IIRC I remember reading they do it in Rugby?

I like this suggestion.

He is on the bench but even still, why the fuck is Lascelles starting over him ffs

Don't even wanna bite but fuck it. You know Casemiro was just a big name signing to placate the fans against the glazers and it worked magnificently. Your owners brought him in perfectly timed before the game that was supposed to have massive protests. Casemiro is at your club for his last pay day. Yeah he might get you a few extra wins over the next 2-3 seasons. Is he really what you need for the future of your club though? Your manager wanted Frenkie De Jong to play as a deep lying playmaker and you guys got Casemiro who is about 10 years older and a completely different profile of player.

Casemiro is like 50 lad

Why am I starting to like this guy

Saw this and went over to check. Just seen the second thread on there is called 'Trippier red card' with 10 pages of discussion

Tap in merchant

Are the sources that reported it reliable? I know Marca is very well known but how reliable is it? Edit: Just seen the Ornstein tweet right above my post. HOLY SHIT WHAT A SIGNING.

He's not just a news aggregator though. He has his own sources, he's actually friends with Watfords owners for example. A lot of the time he won't be the first to report transfers but a lot of times he is the first. And even when he isn't the first his confirmation is so well respected that it's become what most fans look for as confirmation of a transfer, over a lot of sports journalists.

So it seems like Romano has confirmed it via info from either Watford or players agent. Meanwhile some UK journalists are reporting that it's not yet a done deal (Hope, Jason Burt, Baldy cunt) Definitely a strange one. Romano has never given a Here-we-go and been wrong and his reputation is everything. Some people have mentioned a possibility is that it has been leaked from Watford side in order to bully NUFC into paying more. Don't think Romano would risk his reputation if there was any inkling of Watford using him in this way.

He looks class in this compilation.

Guilty of this myself

I think it's just a simple one. Pa-ke-ta. Although this is based on how it would be pronounced in Spanish. @Flip @JNK Let's ask the Brazilians.

I actually remember seeing us linked to Vitor Roque. Can't remember the source so I doubt it was anyone reliable. He's number 39 like Bruno which is enough for me. Get him signed

Comment from the Villa forum about Gerrard. Compare this to how Eddie has handled the Lascelles situation.

I honestly remember him being so frustrating and never rated him apart from that purple patch when he was playing in the 3 up top with Rondon and Miggy under Rafa.

Interesting one, hadn't considered that but it would make sense.

Possibly last night the Journalists were all scurrying to report the news of the second bid but none of them knew how much the bid actually was, so they put 2 and 2 together and decided it must be in the region of 50m if Leicester want 60m.
