Transfer Rumours Winter 2024 Transfer Window

26yo - we were linked with him last year before he signed with Lokomotiv Moscow.

 

... we can always resurrect the old Iain Ormondroyd song ... to the Robin Hood theme from the 60's

Ooooh he is tall

We've apparently bid 13 m Euros for Stefano Struraro from Juventus - midfielder

Is their equivalent of Andy King - can play pretty much anywhere but doesn't excel in any one position.

 

Apparently Fenerbahce directors have met with Puel to become their manager - rumours about Rogers joining us have an added dimension...

 

I was not in favour of sacking him generally (although after the Palace/WHU games I was talking alternatives) but would have been fairly happy with him being poached so to speak a few weeks ago. However now he’s addressing the weaknesses and it’s latet in the close season I hope it’s not true. But at least it won’t be a manager sacking if he leaves

 

Here is a rumour and a half for you all - we are linked with Mario Gotze.

 

Don't think anyone would be upset if he leaves, apart from maybe Pereira, don't think we'd stand in his way seeming how thin ice he must have been on at the end of last season.

 

Its all gone very quiet on the Mahrez front. I thought with no Algeria in the World Cup this would have gone through by now.

#lcfc have made a bid of around £20m for Norwich’s James Maddison. Everton and Southampton also v keen but Leicester have made the first serious move... #ncfc #otbc

 

£22M and £2M in add ons reportedly, Everton and Southampton also remain interested.

 

Rumours are that £65M between the club has been agreed and talks are at the contract stage.

We are linked with Egyptian winger Trezeguet - he had a poor game vs Uruguay though.

With deals for Kvirkvelia and Maddison looming, the #LCFC jigsaw is taking place. Are you happy Blue Army?

Soloman Kvirkvelia is a Geogian centre half who plays for Lokomotiv Moscow

 

Hate how Sky Sports have implied that Southampton are the favourites for Maddison just to get stupid people to put loads of money on it on Sky Bet , they did the same with Everton recently as well writing a full article saying that Everton were favourites with Silva being "a big fan" (i guess not while he was Watford manager, eh! ), they really need to be looked into on this, as its surely illegal.

Would guess we'll def haveto sell Mahrez now, seeming that we already have a £50m spend plus whatever Kvirkvelia will cost.

 

Is being reported that Norwich have accepted a bid of £25m including add ons for Maddison and contact has been agreed. All done bar the medical.

 

That’s why sources like John Percy are much more reliable. Sky have their own motives but every other source has said all along Leicester are preferr e geographically and due to his friendship with Chilwell and Gray. I’m not sure whether sky class as illegal but they can certainly be ignored

 

Canary fan here.If you get Maddison he is a quality player.
Head and shoulders above anything we have had inpast 5 yrs.
Future England player.Look after him and enjoy

 

Is he a number 10 - to play behind a main striker?

 

Most reliable for news is John Percy and Rob Tanner. Everyone else either copies or talks BS
