So we haven't missed out on any targets, I would assume Lawrence + Jota are our no.1 targets? Who knows eh... Just don't want to go down to deadline day though.

QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 All the pollsters I've seen recently saying, we've messed about and missed out. Seems that's not the case at all, GR says we've got bids in for players, independent journos saying we're being made to wait. Think we as fans need to take a step back some times and chill out, I'd be more worried if we panic bought and ended up with more average players for big money. The transfer stated by has been so much more thought out this season it's refreshing to see. Regardless of what some fans think, our players aren't half as bad as some make out. If we miss out on our number one targets you have to wonder wether our second and third choice players are actually going to be that much better than what we have.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Regardless of who does or does not sign we should be good enough to beat Sunderland on Friday and in the short term that is the most important thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Looks like this Brighton interest is legit then, no idea why Leicester are ballsing around has he's not going to realistically be a first team regular. Either offer him a new deal or let him play football elsewhere. Stubborn fookers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Can't imagine he's impressed, season starting with two clubs interested and they haven't offered him a new contract or accepted a bid. Struggling to see what the issue is at Leicester's end. They could easily upgrade on him with the money they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it could be a case of them wanting to start a bidding war and get as much money as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Ram Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Just a thought, is Shakespeare big mates with Pearson ? Could it be an anybody but Derby situation with Lawrence ? You don't have to reply to tell me how daft that sounds, I just got wondering when @tomsdubs wrote he was struggling to see what the issue is at Leicester's end. I have got my tin hat on so slate away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hardly the most positive statement, that reads that the players will be going elsewhere. Pedantically it would have been more appropriate to say if our targets go elsewhere or we refuse to pay the club's valuation of those targets.

Nuwtfly Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 "wants to add players to make them top two before Friday" Good luck, Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I'm sure that before Friday the top two are determined in alphabetical order as points and goal difference are the same? Be nice to have an exciting signing before Friday, but I'd rather we get the right guys in and out this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Struggling to see what the issue is at Leicester's end. They could easily upgrade on him with the money they have. I think they want to sign that Kelechi Iheanacho from Man City first and I saw Guardiola's quote earlier that said it'd happen this week.I'd expect Lawrence here soon after that.

Andicis Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Surely a problem with the interest from Brighton, would be that Brighton are Leicester's direct competition. Leicester would probably prefer not to strengthen a rival, so provided Derby bid more than Brighton, I'd imagine he would end up here, out of preference from Leicester, he also wouldn't have to move far.
