Is this a record? 226 pages and no signing made yet?

Maybe movement on a striker before the weekend?

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 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.

On Iheanacho . Leicester bought him when he was 20 years old for 25m with Man City inserting a buy back for 50m. Double your money first refusal

He has a 2 years left on the 5 year contract signed in summer 2017. (Expires 2022)

Looks like he would have to be bought at 50mil upon man city being notified and refusing to buy him back.

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

When you come to a fork in the road, take it. Simples.

Not if they valued him at less than £50m.

If they wanted nothing more than their money back, then Man City could buy him for their pre-agreed price, and if they didn't want to do that then Leicester can accept whatever bid they want.

The strong views on here on Davis (I actually think he made a decent impact from the bench in quite a few games), I would hold for Matt Targett. If he is our starting left back this season I'll be livid. A lot of focus on the goals for stat from last season but less focus on goals against which was a disgrace. I can already see Sheff United kicking every single ball over to our left back position if he is playing.

Celtic Twitter has basically passed through stage 5 of Kübler-Ross in regard to Edouard.

And the fact he can't play us every week.  In fact he'd never play us if he joined us!

Chilwell to Chelsea for £45m. I’d be using Terry’s contacts there to sound out some of the players who will be struggling for game time. Tammy (no need for Terry’s influence here), Loftus-cheek, Tamori.
Disappointing that Villa don’t appear to be interested in Eze for £15m, only seen him a few times but always looks good and that price seems to be low.

It's amazing how PL clubs are fleeced for fees.  Juventus have agreed  €3M loan + €18M option to buy for Weston McKennie.  We'd be lucky to get a mid-table championship player for that in this day and age.

Latest rumour is that Conor could be off to Turkey?? That strikes me as a very questionable idea.

I'd be amazed if we sell Conor unless it's for a daft fee.

might be a different transfer window, but some thing never change...from the Beeb

"Tottenham are closing in on a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers right-back Matt Doherty. Wolves are asking for around £20m for the 28-year-old Republic of Ireland defender but Spurs are hoping to pay less."

lets hope that it is true that Conor is on his way - apart from taking the corners and the odd free kick I do struggle to see what he does during the game - in fact I forget that he is on the pitch - as the guy who sits by me (pre-covid) calls him the "hider".
