Village Idiot Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 He's been fading these past 18 months, after a few great years at Real Sociedad, but it's still a coup for the MLS to get a player like Vela when he's entering his prime years.

If they flogged them though their fees would be astronomical. That hadn't even crossed my mind as an option. I meant how much do they spend to go for it (title/top 4), what do they feel like they can add without taking away from the chemistry they have, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Was talking to my mate about this earlier today. If Leicester made a couple of brilliant signings in January and won the league (they obviously won't), it'd be just about the best thing that's ever happened to football from a purely neutral perspective. With the way the game is at the moment; this utterly repugnant money-or-nothing culture that is seeping from every orifice of the top leagues, the elitism, the general cuntishness of the favoured teams, the small-timeness of the majority of others... it would just be sensational. It wouldn't be anything like Greece spoiling their way to the European Championships in '04 - it would absolutely ransack the climate of the sport in this country. Would LOVE to see it happen.

It wouldn't change their attitude towards elitism either and all their best players would be touted for bigger clubs and they'd all want to leave because the money has gone that far that to players, that's winning. Cynical as fuck thinking like that, but that's how I think it would go. I still want it to happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
John P Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The owners at Leicester seem pretty awesome with everything they do for their fans. Would be great to see them go 'fuck it, let's spend £80m in January'. They'd probably be able to get some great players in as they'll be in the top 2 or 3 at the start of January and could fling some money at them.

themanupstairs Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 They've got to go for it like, f*** it. YOLO. The title? Absolutely.

An injury to one or both of them would see them tumble big time IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I know what you mean, they seem to have a great team spirit and work ethic so signing a couple of big-name players could upset the balance and their team ethic. They just have to be very careful to get the right characters in, someone like Cambiasso last year who bought into the whole club and became a cult hero within months, but obviously someone at their peak rather than the end of their career. If they get the right characters and quality in then a Champions League spot is achievable, which is pretty amazing really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
