Leicester's shopping spree...

Our best Championship season was our first when the only signing of note was a million quid on Fatty Trundle, we came within an old mans volley of going up with a league one team.

Its all about blend, spirit, and momentum.

That said if you have the best coach and best players you have a head start.

 

To quote the wee kiddies: LOL

 

i just wish people on here would remember everyone's entitled to their own opinion

Indeed, and quite a few have the opinion that you are a bit of a GIRLIE_WIRLIE!!

 

Who says you're not? Bleating about it won't do any good though. We wanted 6-7 players and we've got 4 so far with another 1 almost tied up. If you're disappointed with that situation, you're expectations are way too high.

 

But why aren't we signing the Kevin Nolans of this world for £4m on £50,000 a week? We can afford it with our Trillionaire Egyptian sugar-daddy, surely.

 

Leicester City will go bust in three to four years!!!!

 

Yeah but they can always get round that by going into Administration, cancelling the debt and come back like nothing has ever happened!!


Hey! WAIT A MINUTE!!

 

Danns has joined Leicester now according to BBC. we can move one.

 

Hullborn - Take a breath mate and relax. We will make 6-7 signings (most likely more). We have signed Dudgeon and Evans, Adebola and McKenna are next along with Hobbs. Add to that 2 more CB, another CM and a couple of wingers we will of signed close to 10 players I reckon.

Granted McKenaa and Adebola are not earth shattering, but given that we have had the club rescued for £42m, plus a further £7m bail out this month, then £4 plus million we have paid for Simpson, Fryatt, McClean, Evans and Dudgeon, dont expect any amazing signings. However I reckon some steady functional players such as McKenna, to build a solid base and some quality unknowns like Stewart.

 

A Stewart-esque winger and another striker in the Fryatt mould would be amazing. Can we afford it? Hmm...

 

I know I've been away for a week, but surely we need a keeper or 2 as well?

 

Would be sorry to lose out on Danns by his going to Leicester.
Had accepted his move to Glasgow Rangers/Celtic for the prospect of Champions League football.

This just means we lost out on our No.1 target purely through money.
Leicester and some other clubs are able to wave wads of money about and take the cream.
We are not.

What we must not do is to get into a bidding war with these players and jeopardize our recovery.
Might just have to accept another season of consolidation.

 

i heard it was them paying 50mil + messi for harper? he's just what barca are missing at the minute.

 

Them Xavi and Iniesta lads are massively overrated.

 

maybe someone like jay simpson (in the Fryatt mould) would be a good signing

 

Simpson could turn out to be class next season. Had a Torres like season, last season

 

I'd just like to say Tsepo Masilela is a magnificent capture for Leicester. He's a great left back!

 

Why are people getting frustrated lol

It aint even July !!

Just out of interest what did you get out of the financial report Hullborn?

Did you read it, Signings like Danns on 15k a week, Mackail Smith for 3m+ aint going to happen matey, its about being realisitic, were trying to get our house in order after the prrem business shambles. SO throwing money around isnt going to happen as it happens if we get Hobbs for 800k that'l be mmm about 4.2m spent since Last season.

You do realise we have signed

1. Rosienior
2. Chester
3. Dudgeon
4. Evans
5. Fryatt
6. McClean
7. Simpson
8. Stewart
9. Harper

Add to that more than likely

10. Hobbs
11. Adebola
12. Mckenna

Still not enough given our current financial mess?
