Antonio Barreca?

Weird. Just had a look on RTG (first time for ages) and there was no thread telling us how shit Tonali is. What's happened to the mutants?

Shirley this is a good signing.

Get in! great to see the yellow ticker. Think this lad will be a bargain when we look back in a year or two. I have so much trust in the recruitment team. Whoever we get will be good. Also, the second most expensive Italian, just behind Jorginho.

Pleased for AG. I think he will come good next season.

That’s a shame. Always come across as a nice bloke and good manager. RIP

I can't believe we are close to getting this lad. He is the exact type of player we need. This just increases my confidence in the recruitment team. I can see him and Bruno bossing our midfield for many years (along with Joelinton of course). A couple more signings of this quality and the 12th of August can't come quick enough.

I wouldn't even believe Eddie Howe if he revealed our transfer budget, never mind anyone else.

This picture belongs to the "faces you most want to punch" thread (or whatever its called).

To put it into perspective: Rice= Maddison + Szobozlai

No more years of hurt.

Callum coming on just before he would have took pen

Jeremy Corbyn?

Fantastic to hear Joelinton scored last night and had a good game. Like others have said this is so deserved. I'm sure his story will be an inspiration to other players who are struggling. I really hope he is a regular in the Brazil team moving forward.

Just interested if you question the sanity and feel sorry for ASM, Joelinton and Bruno (and many other NUFC players of the past)? I’m pretty sure they are living their best lives.

I suppose the jury is still out with Arteta and Ten Hag. Time will tell.

Yeah, I agree. It’s a gamble by Leicester. I’m thinking John Carver, Mike Phelan, Schteeve McClaren being those that couldn’t step up. I can only think of Mourinho, Bob Paisley (I think he was even a Physio at one stage) and maybe Arteta that have done well. There are probably others (my memory fails me).

get in Callum

Leicester appoint Maresca.

"Glass half full" v "glass half empty". Aye, it looks a tough start and this would have had me worried a couple of years ago, but not now, as has been said, we are a class team now and bring them on. Got to beat the bigger teams if we want to finish in Europe again and I'm sure we will.

£50m seems ridiculously low given the player he is. Signing of the transfer window if we get him for that. (Also can we still have Szobozlai please?)

Exactly what I was thinking. It sounds dubious.

Scott Parker So, Leicester don't want to bounce straight back up.
