    I personally wouldn’t be in a hurry to join us going on last years showing in all honesty. And if another club were In for me and were paying better wages, bit of a no brainer.

    Well, this transfer got a lot more interesting today. If we both have bids accepted by Norwich I'd imagine Leicester would pay more in wages and is closer to his Home if that is an issue. Waiting for a Jeremy Wilson article now to dash our hopes...

    Not holding my breath on this one. A really promising player, but we always leave it too late and he’ll probably go to Leicester.

    Don't know how we can be said to have left it too late...Leicester are at the same stage as us apparently. If he chooses Leicester, it won't be because we have been particularly slow. I'm not sure how being faster would have landed him....I doubt he's in a rush...he just wants to see all the offers.

    If the player has two options, and chooses one over the other, you can't blame the club for that. Both will offer competitive wages and playing time. If it's something to do with the geographical location of the club then that's it.

    Van Dijk, lallana, Bale, Walcott, Lovren, Clyne, Mane, Chamberlain...

    We have a recent history of producing and improving young talent so they make the next step in their career.

    They are testament to the fact we can produce and nuture top young talent so worthwhile mentioning them.

    Only player leicester have signed that has moved on to bigger and better things is Kante? Yes mahrez will this summer but it is pretty clear we are a better club than leicester to be at for young players wanting to develop.

    I dont understand how anyone would disagree.

    Why, he may not get on with his family and that was the reason he joined Norwich in the first place.

    You usually get sent to Coventry, not from it...

    Yeah, but I heard the bust up with his folks was real bad. My postman was telling me yesterday.

    Not that it means anything, but Sky still quoting that Leicester and Saints have made offers and he favours us. We shall see.....not getting over excited.

    If we do get him I think it will pretty much mean we will need to loan out Hesketh. It will completely block him and he needs game time to prove himself. Maybe loan him back to norwich?

    Well, at least this one didn't drag on. Hope we have backup plans to our backup plans for a change.
