Where’s Silva linked? Can’t see that anywhere. Is it a reliable source?

Is in the Portuguese gossip columns so not really reliable at all but is a new rumour which is why I posted it - more likely he is actually linked with Wolves as his agent Jorge Mendez has a "business relationship" with them but the newspaper put our name down as we are the more famous midlands club ;)

Wolves more likely for him I agree, would be a coup though! Get the ‘wonderkids’ through the door!
 
Looks like Rodgers is going to be really hands on with transfers and will be more active in transfers then our bosses have been before https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/...ndan-rodgers-outlines-leicester-citys-2775750

When Pearson was here, he pretty much left transfers in the hands of Steve Walsh and made the position of Head of Recruitment for him, and we continued with that model. We were at the forefront of using statistical analysis to scout players and but have faltered the last couple of seasons as other clubs have poached our key staff and we ended up getting the likes of Slimani who wasn't a fit for us at all.

Will be interesting if we will be appointing a head of recruitment if this is the case or if we do, what his/her role actually will be.

Riyad Mahrez on the bench again for City. He doesnt even get rotated any more

I wonder if he regrets forcing the move through now?

He played in the champions league first leg v Spurs and got scapegoated for their loss. Really unpopular with their fans. Think we are better as a team without him anyway

We have lost the player capable of doing something out of nothing. I wouldnt say we are a better team. Just have better balance through buying Maddison and Ricardo plus Tielemans
 
Papy Mendy is linked with Galatasaray - feel sorry for the lad as he was more highly rated then Kante when we first were linked with the pair but never reached anywhere close to Kante's level with us after his injury on his debut.

Would hopefully mean that we are close to signing Tielemans, the rumours surrounding Ndidi are false and a promotion for Choudhury to second choice DM.
 
Plus Man City are a bit wierd with their signings. Both Bernardo Silva and Laporte hardly played after signing last year. Both are unstoppable a year later...

Brendan Rodgers has said in the summer he wants a midfielder with a different profile

I imagine he wants a defensive midfielder who can pass like he had Joe Allen doing at Swansea at Liverpool.

Wilf is class off the ball but not good enough on it but going to be hard and expensive finding someone as good as Ndidi who can always pass and create.

So I think we will see Mendy move on and possibly Choudhury out on loan if we bring in another defensive midfielder

Whats Cambiasso upto?

We were linked with Joe Allen but those rumours have faded away in the past few months - his experience would be ideal as we have a young team.

The only DM that we are currently linked to is John McGinn -no clue if he is that kind of player though.

Long way to go yet

Yes he has played his part for them but still why would you rather be a bit part player there? I would rather play every week.

But different things motivate different people

It would be another premier league title on his resume which he wouldn't have got here, only really "earned" one of them though.

May even cost Man City the title with that penalty miss earlier in the season.

I don't know, what a force it would be to have him being doubled up on, giving Maddison and Tielemans even more space to create chances or even ghosting into the box getting on the end of Mahrez's creativity, teams certainly aren't worried about who we have out wide at the moment.

To be clear I meant playing as a team and the collective. Clearly he is a more talented player than who we have playing on that wing atm but Simpson allowed Mahrez to show his best going forwards. Would we cope down the right with such an attacking RB in Ricardo and a winger in Mahrez who wasn’t at his best tracking back..Easier said than done to get the best of both for a club of our level but Bowen from Hull for example, I won’t say I’ve seen him loads but clearly got it going forwards and if playing for Hull has enabled caused him to build a good work ethic up and down, he could compliment Ricardo well
 
L’Équipe report this morning that AS Monaco decision-makers are leaning towards allowing Youri Tielemans to join Leicester City permanently, where he is elated with life, with manager Leonardo Jardim wanting to bring Adrien Silva in full-time the other way, despite the Portuguese midfielder’s hefty salary.

Was Tielemans not on a similar amount at Monaco though? I thought he was one of their better paid players.
