    I hope they are right. I'll believe it when I see him with a shirt and a contract. Various sources have reported him having his medical for the last two weeks :headbang:

    There's a lot of talk of him having committed perjury (sp) and suggesting he has broken the lawZ I really hope not and that if the issue has been resolved it was monetary and there will be no more legal comeback on him

    Agree with Bournemouth, v good signings, I would've preferred we'd bought Begovic than Hart, not convinced he's any better than Adrian, and neither are many fans, he took the blame for the playground defending, which partly comes from having winger/strikers playing RB, it's ok on PES but generally not in the real world.
    I think he's done exactly what he's been accused of, trying to bullshit his way out of a contract in a court by pretending not to know his agent. It seems pretty open and shut with 3 years of evidence, mostly photographic. The good news for you is he's rich and it's an American court, so it won't be a custodial sentence, just a big fine. The sticking point is the US agent, he'll want his pound of flesh.

    Whatever he has done, end of the day agents are just ****ing paresites and a player should be free to be represented by who he wants not be blackmailed or whatever. Not that I get why footballers can't just sort out their own affairs like the rest of us mortals do.
    Hopefully it'll just be smoothed over with money like you say. Hardly seems worthy of any more especially given the **** that happens in America

    In Iheanacho's case I think it was probably parental greed, and who really knows what the score is with agent fees, who really gets it? does the agent? or is it a tax scam run by the clubs?

    As long as this legal stuff hasn't taken its toll on him, everything should be hunky dunky.

    Good signing this.

    Really interested to see how he does as a starter.
    I'm assuming you'll play both Vardy and Nacho? or is it time for Vardy to be a speedy sub?

    Just need to buy a quality number 10 and we would have had a brilliant window for incomings. And if we keep hold of Mahrez and his head is right then we should be in for a good season

    Higher priorities would be a creative midfielder and a right back imo.

    I dont think we will sign a right back. I think Shakey sees Amartey and Darnell Johnson as enough cover

    Plenty of defensive work will be needed from them both then. These days playing 2 up top requires so much discipline, due to most teams banked up midfield's...

    When it works it's perfect (eg Sturridge and Suarez) but when it doesn't you just get turned over far too quickly.
