  1. The links of Anwar going to Roma must be rubbish. I just can’t imagine him being a Jose player.
  2. Totally which is why I don’t think it will happen.
  3. But we are still bound by FFP. If we overpaid for one player it just restricts us elsewhere. We need to be sensible and measured.
  4. I totally agree. It would be so wasteful. I do trust our owners to do a decent deal or walk away if they can’t. I suspect they won’t go above £35m which would still be paying top dollar in my view. I would much rather target someone else. Someone who isn’t sitting on a 4 year deal for a club who doesn’t want to sell. The world has plenty of suitable alternatives.
  5. Totally agree. £40m on these 2 is much better than a similar amount for JWP.
  6. He didn’t really. Our play was completely pedestrian until Ramsey came on. He added real zip to the centre of the park (although at this stage Nakamba is still the better all round player).
  7. I like him and there’s definitely a place in the squad for him but the problem with Nakamba is he never loses the ball because he makes slow, predictable, backwards passes with no zip. He also does not carry the ball forward. It results in us being so predictable and easy to play against. If we are to play successfully through the thirds then you need progressive passers and carriers.
  8. I can honestly say that I have never seen this guy play live but looking at his stats and YouTube videos, he looks exactly the type of player that I have been hoping we would sign for about 5 years! I really hope that this is true. We do lack that dynamic presence in midfield. He could be worth £50m in a couple of years. Another productive day from me!
  9. He has to start on Saturday. I actually think he earns his place on merit but also, he knows how to take a free kick/corner. Even by our standards, yesterday’s were embarrassing!
  10. I was thinking the same about Cash. He seems to have dipped since his early form. Targett is a much better football player. Cash needs to be more confident and not take the safe option every time.
  11. I’m sure that I read somewhere that he wasn’t suspended following his red. Maybe he is injured again.
  12. Unless we sort out or central midfield, we are going to have a very frustrating season. It is so laboured at times and utterly predictable. Dynamism required.
  13. I live in Leicester. You would take the A50 across to the M1. He’s probably just going on a day out.
  14. I think Ings will play that role. Ollie up top with Ings in behind. Emi on the right. Bailey on the left.
  15. What about a cheeky bid for Grealish. You could probably pick him up for £40m now!
  16. The market is flat. He only has 2 years left on his contract. £25m would be a decent deal.
  17. I think if we got a decent offer, I would sell him. I like him as a player and I think he will get better but I don’t think he is the DM that we need. We are also well stocked in central midfield so if we are going to buy a destroyer then someone needs to make way. If selling Doug for £25m enables us to sign Bissouma for £50m then it’s a deal worth doing. It also allows more flexibility with financial fair play if we need to dabble in January. Add in a loan/free gk and cb and we will have had a great window.
  18. I would seriously question our whole structure and system if we pay anything for Willock. He couldn’t even get a start for Newcastle. Most of his goals came from the bench. He is a younger version of Conor without the sweet left foot. He will end up in the Championship at best.
  19. We will definitely sign a GK, a centre half and a centre midfielder. I am 100% certain of this fact (please ignore the fact that I said I was 100% certain that Jack was staying ). I am due one to be fair.
  20. Totally agree. Not sure who this Grealish is that you mention but a new signing would be great. Midfield enforcer please Deano and Lange.
  21. I think he prefers the right but can play central. It is interesting to see how Dean plans to fit it all together! We will likely be less predictable this season.
  22. Do you not think that leaves us a little unbalanced? I also think that Bailey prefers the right (although he is comfortable on the left). It will be interesting to find out I guess. All eyes on Saturday!
  23. I think Watkins will stay in the middle with Ings left and Bailey right. No way Watkins gets shifted.
