DevKWat 2,365 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Balogun gone on loan to France, think he’s not got quite enough to be a striker. Would’ve been better utilised as a winger on the left of a 3 for me Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't be surprised if he's already here. I know that's probably wishful thinking but some of the stories aren't adding up. The article stating that the Sporting Director hasn't responded to the inquires of the TV station and the Local Journalist staying he's working on an 'individual program' away from the rest of the team. It's quite a coincidence that offers have been submitted and he's on an individual program. The fact Diggerlad has said he's here and the media's been banned and at the same time the club puppets at both The Gazette and Northern Echo have been silent too. 8 Link to post Share on other sites

It is starting to look like we might have played a blinder and kept a huge deal for us quiet. If he has had a weeks training and QPR don't know about it can only be good. I hope we get 1 or 2 in for Saturday. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

I see where others are coming from in terms of expectations are different, like United fans saying Maguire isn't up to scratch... Or Chelsea fans moaning about Lukaku... They'd both be alright in the Championship! But this doesn't really apply to young reserve players. Why would a Leicester U23 who never gets a game not be rubbish? I'm not saying he is, but let's not assume a young player is good just because they're at a Premier League side. We had better young players already at the club than any of the recent dross we were loaned. If someone has evidence Choudhury is good I'm all ears (and hope he is if we're signing him!) But all I've heard is Leicester fans say he's poor. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

He needs to kick on now though and with just a year on his contract we might be able to do a decent deal. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
Riverside94 952 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 15 million euros for Renato Sanches, less then Spence and not much more then Tav. Football transfers are crazy 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Tarmo Kink Army 1,122 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 So if we want him before their season starts the first game is on Friday so surely it would have to be done tomorrow Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,870 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Regarding Players not being "good enough" our Promotion winning side had Dimi in goal and despite holding the record for clean sheets (we could do with some on here at the minute) he wasn't considered good enough for the Premiership (indeed he wasn't even considered good enough for the Championship but got in by default and in fairness took his opportunity). Grant was a crucial Player for us that season but again the gap between the top of the Championship and the Premiership was too big an ask. Arguably others like George Friend and Ben Gibson were close but not quite good enough in fact throw in Nsue, Adomah and Ayala. Leicester's fringe players will be far more likely to succeed in the Championship despite many questioning their Premiership credentials. 9 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Back on topic, I'm not convinced either Choudhury or Mejbri are what we need in midfield. I kinda hope this is just paper/Mungo's Mum talk, and we're looking for more proven consistent players to replace Tav and challenge Howson. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
