Which I also think puts us in a good position for the season ahead. Not as flashy as some people may like, but I would say it makes a top half finish achievable. Obviously would prefer Barnes to Harrison, but I just can't see us being willing to part with the £50m+ it would take. Don't think we will break the £50m on one player barrier till next Summer.

Would be quite underwhelming but we just won’t or can’t pay what clubs are wanting for better. I was hoping for more bruno standard of players but guess just see what happens. The market is ridiculous when we are getting quoted £30m-£35m for average premier league players Edited July 28, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I think we needed to move earlier in the window for Harrison. Leeds don’t need the money now and will have less time for a replacement. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Chris Waugh is definetly in the dark transfer wise. His PotT updates were: We're interested in Sesko but so are half of Europe. Draxler unlikely, but Warner possible on loan. Players will become available as squads are trimmed. Ritchie and a keeper will likely leave minimum. Real cutting edge stuff. Not much from Hope these days either, only Edwards is churning out the "exclusives" and his source is probably still Steve Bruce. Thirsty times.

Willow Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 13 minutes ago, Zero said: I think we will sign two players worth 40m each. Honestly I'd absolutely love this. 2 really solid attacking additions could potentially make a huge difference this season. We're so close to having a top 10 side right now but just lack the firepower to build on our pretty stable backline. We all know this but my excitement levels for this season would triple if we get 2 more in. It's a nice problem to have, I just hope we can get em signed so we can really push on.

The College Dropout Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Sometimes Leicester play 3 at the back and Barnes is sacrificed. But he starts more often than not. Had a few injuries last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) If we don't bring in attacking reinforcements we don't get top 10 this season IMO, but I can't see us being in as much danger of the drop as last season. Very underwhelmed so far, I still think we've been scrambling since Ekitike turned us down, and the proof of that is in the fact we've done no business and don't look likely to do any soon. I think we will end up with one more which I think will be an attacker who can play across the front three, probably on loan. Not the absolute end of the world considering its small steps at a time apparently, which is fine, but I hope they realise at some point they may have to start breaking our wage structure and paying 50 mil plus on some signings if we eventually want to achieve our ambitions.

Novocastrian Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I can’t see why Broja would come on loan when we have Wilson as a starter. I thought he was more of an out and out forward. Can he play wide. Didn’t Howe play with two strikers at Bournemouth (Wilson/King) albeit with one in a withdrawn role? Would both play together? He seems to want guaranteed game time.

KaKa Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 I'm bored ... Was looking at some young strikers on the scoutedftbl website (which is really good), and I think the Hoffenheim striker, Georginio Rutter will be on our list. Same age as Ekitike, and also a well rounded forward that can also play on either wing. He's also two footed, with a slightly stronger left foot. Looks like we were linked with him when he was leaving Rennes a couple of seasons back to join Hoffenheim. Same agency as Joelinton and we've done business with Hoffenheim fairly recently. Also the same agency as Draxler who we have been randomly linked with of late. Maybe we're looking at a different player under their books? https://www.scoutedftbl.com/best-young-football-players/georginio-rutter/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
