Summer transfer, gossip, speculation and the usual butter ollocks thread

The Edouard omission does look a bit made up.

The Iheanacho rumours have gone quiet, didn't realise it was Shakespeare that signed him. If Leicester spend some of the Chilwell money on Eduoard, he might come available.

9 goals in 71 apps with Leicester, we need better..

I'm relaxed signings will come in. However it would be just us to go into Fulham and Sheffield United games with just Samatta and Davis as the two CF options. All it takes is Davis picking up a knock in training and we'd be down to no senior striker off the bench.

All last summer I was convinced we'd sign a decent striker on August 31st and it didn't happen and then on January 31st we were ringing up Swansea at the last minute to get in their reserve striker who predictably made no impact for us.

That's where the doubts come into play. Now if we have to wait last minute for a striker of Tammy Abraham's calibre to be signed then I'm sure we can all live with that.

To be honest I’m not sure, given where he is in his career, they Davis can be classed as a senior striker. I don’t know where he’ll develop to, but he shouldn’t be near the match day squad of a premier league team.

[WilliamStanding]

Davis is a forward not a striker.

[PaulWinch again]

Well whatever he is he’s not good enough to be in the match day squad of a top flight team. He may get there, I have my doubts, but we need much better.

[SoccerHQ]

He's o.k off the bench for the hold it up for last 10 minutes job. The issue is we should have at least two other strikers actually capable of scoring goals but we're a long way from that.

100% this.

If we start against Sheff Utd with him near the first team I would be worried.

I have faith Deano knows what he’s doing and this will be addressed already.

I think those goal stats probably look worse than they are due to the fact he hasn't started in a good number of those 71 appearances.

[Des Little]

There is no way on earth we can kick off the season with Davis or Samatta up front. If we do, it would be like saving a drowning man then throwing him back in.

It’s deja vu on here alright

every transfer window exactly the same posters are worried we aren’t signing players fast enough
and exactly the same posters are saying calm down everything will be fine

[WilliamStanding]

It will be de je vu relegation fight if we don’t address goals scored column from our strike force.

[Sexual Ealing]

Edouard now looks a lot more likely to leave now that Celtic are out of the CL. I'd make Leicester favourites if we both want him, but then Vardy is pretty well set up front for them.

Let me clarify. I’m not worried at all about us not signing players soon enough, because I firmly believe we will have learned our lessons from past windows, hence the example I gave.
