Here is the stat comparison between Riis and Cannon.... https://fbref.com/en/stathead/playe...4-2025&player_id2=4506aec5&p2yrfrom=2024-2025
£13m for a player who can’t get in a poor Leicester side seems crazy money to me. You’d be looking at replacing him in 4 months time if you got promoted as its obvious he’s not good enough for the PL.
I said the other day on here that if it’s up to 13miliion I think we’ve lost the plot. Look at the value we get. We’d be strengthening one position and removing our ability to strengthen others. By the same score, I think Sheffield are being daft paying this much and aren’t far away from being a club at risk of going under. I’d be surprised if we didn’t pull out as soon as it reached the daft stage.
Didn't realise Riis had only scored 1 fewer goal than Isidor in a side that creates much fewer chances. That's more encouraging.
Riis seems a better option money wise, we can make a deal better than we can wth cannon. But i still think there is going to be a few more twists with cannon,
Problem I find with him is he gets snippets of info then builds a whole narrative around it. Next day he gets something else and changes the narrative He definitely gets info though probably no more than a few lads on here. But has to build a story around it to make him sound like he's on the inside.
I think he’s done and off to Sheff Utd. I can see Riis coming in. That ITK on the Preston board is their go to one
You have to be realistic with the spending power the parachute clubs have. £13m in the Championship is a serious figure.
I wondered if we’d go for Riis, really physical and has a right shot on him. Would be a canny impact sub, but don’t know if he could be anything more than that
The system is broken though. Because spending £13m on him actually makes sense for a parachute club. Its just impossible to compete for players if one of those clubs also want them.
Its been broken for years really but it does feel like its an issue that's getting worse as the PL income and spending continues to increase.
Preston ITK has said we are interested and he’s known as their main “ITK” I’m pretty sure A different team in red and white may have registered an interest in a certain soon to be OOC Danish striker. He could potentially move in with our previous skipper.
Not gonna name them as last time I did that I got a private message full of vitriol and abuse followed by a block. Its why I changed my name on here.
Every time I've seen Riis he looks a real handful could do a job for us but not sure about him. He's not really kicked on at Preston. had a bad ACL injuries though was out for a long time. I know nothing about Frigan certainly doesn't seem a Cannon alternative. Any of you scouting chaps know much about him
