Summer Transfer Thread and Gustavo Cisneros Type Rumours.

Liecester don't spend silly money and have picked up some excellent players, Catagne, Fofana, Tielemans, Maddison, Soyuncu, Justin, Pereira, Perez - all decent fees.  Ndidi was £17m.  It doesn't have to be £50m plus, you just need the right recruitment team.  I suspect this is the market we'll be shopping in this summer - £20-£40m type players

Lets hope Robert Mackenzie gets the next kante or Mahrez then . I saw we was looking at some algerian who hasnt played much , so could be a mackenzie one thinking he could be mahrez

Perez wants shooting after that miss at the death last night.

Is spending £50m/£100m/£150m a time really the be and end all? What if we were able to pick up the next Messi's/Ronaldo's/De Bruyne's with very little known about them at a young age?

That's the plan long term but 3-4 seasons of spending big to get ourselves back into the top half consistently gives us the time for players in the U16 and U18 teams time to come through and seeing players like Ramsey, Chuk, etc getting in and around the senior squad as 18-19 year olds makes signing the best 10-15year olds easier. Show them they're joining a team that's going places and planning to get their by being the best at using their academy.

Long term I'd rather we spent £15-20m every summer on youth players than signing players for the first team because I think that is the right thing to do to make the club a long term success.

Buendia looks good but knowing our luck we buy him and he turns into Jota.

Buendia and Pereira would be excellent business, based on their goals-scored and assists stats. Each would be a great foil for JG.

[Steve67]

Tonight's game was a great way to really look at what we need going forward.  A more physical and upgrade of Marvellous Nakamba/Douglas Luiz, a left winger to replace El Ghazi, turning him into what he is, which is a squad player, much like Traore.  This will allow Jack to either play out on the left/right when we feel like it, or he can return to the number 10 role.  Gives us the option of playing Douglas further forward too.  He used the ball well tonight.

So for me, winger, number 10 and a defensive midfielder please Dean.

[Holy Trinity]

So dream window for me would be

Tammy back 100% would fit this team and allow us to play a fluid formation with 2 up front at times and 433 at others with ollie rotating to the wings. I think this is a high 8 out of 10 to happen.

I want a gamble like Luis for cm but not as a starter so a cheap punt for a squad player and someone like Renato Sanchez as the starter he's finally come good and looks world class.

For a winger I would like a nibble at giovanni Reyna the lad from dortmund. 18 and could be a world beater.

I think those 3 would have us challenging the top 6. Get a number 10 and it would be fantasy land

[SoccerHQ]

Think I'd just look at getting in another competant CB and just move Konsa out to RB whenever Cash isn't available (hopefully just for odd game rather than months out)

Thought he was class tonight at RB and Son barely got a kick even when Spurs were dominating second half.

Hause proved to be a fantastic squad player this year aswell which is big surprise of the season so we've got a good set of CBs going forward if we get another in.

[LeeB]

Hause has been a major plus point, it has to be said. Another player massively improved, says a lot for the coaching staff.

[TonyD]

40m on a class winger to supplement Bert.

And 40m on a arse kicking sweeper.

= top 4.

Think that's the thing. The overwhelming majority of our signings have improved since we signed them, Matt Targett being the obvious one, but also the likes of Hause, Nakamba, AEG, Douglas Luiz, ... gives me some confidence that Traore and Sanson will be very good signings in the long run.

Other than his debut I can't think of many games where Hause hasn't given a pretty good account of himself when called on.  He's at a level where I'm never really anxious if he's drafted into the team.  Very much hope we can keep him as he's a very decent squad player.

He only cost us £3 million as well (if I remember rightly). He's done really well this season when called upon.

This for me too - like him or not, you've got to think John Terry has had a massive effect on these young centre halves when you see their progress.

Almost persuades me to think a 3 at the back might work in some games .... *
