Transfer news round-up!
So it has been a busy week for Leicester, in both a good and bad way!
To start with, it sounds like we are signing Under from Roma, either on a £24 Million fee or a season long loan with an option to buy.
He seems like a decent player, someone who can come in and do a decent job for us, but a lot of fans are wondering if we are getting a new Right Winger… What will happen to Gray?!
Is he on his way to another club? Rumor has it that both Aston Villa and Spurs want him for around £20 Million, which a lot of Leicester City fans would snap your hands off for that money for someone who has been with us for 4 years and yet to still become a better than average player. But would you want to sell him to another ‘top six’ side, especially if he goes and does good for them, we would regret it a lot!
BUT, we are not signing another Right Winger just for Gray to sit on the bench even more so than he already is… Are we?!
Another player that sounds like he really wants a move to Leicester is Wesley Fofana. He is a young Center Back, who looks very promising, but they are asking for around £20 Million, but it looks like we are willing to pay that price for him! Hopefully that is a good sign, and he becomes a good player for us!
One problem that seems to be occurring is that Puel is refusing to sell to his previous club, which is a bit sly on his behalf! Do you blame him though? We sacked him, one of his best players wants to leave, so he is under a lot of pressure to do the right thing.
But with a lot of players, if they want out, you should let them go, as we have experienced that they get upset and refuse to play for you! Hopefully we see him sign a LCFC contract in the next few days along with Under as well!
Now, one rumour of a player is not one joining, but one leaving! Portugal Midfielder Adrian Silva is looking like he is moving on a permanent deal to Italian Sampordia, which another former LCFC manager is there, and it is non other than Ranieri!
After being 14 seconds late in the transfer window, he couldn’t play for us until January, and we all thought that he would be a really good player for us when he would play.. But this was not the case.
In his 21 appearances for us, he did not shine, and with managerial changes, he never got the chance to show his potential… Do you think we should have given him more of a chance?!
This is what Leicester Fan Tv’s Sam had to say an all of the above…
“To start with i am glad we are bringing in a new Winger, that is one area we really need to develop on. Gray has never been amazing with us, and i think it is time he left, wishing him all the best. Perez is a good player, but not a winger, so he shouldn’t be played there in my opinion. When he played as a Center Forward he was more involved and played a more key role in the squad. Realistically we do not have a solid Right Winger, so hopefully Under can come in a do a good job!
Fofana looks like a decent CB, but he is young. Again it could be a tactical masterclass by our transfer team, but it could also bite us bit as it is a lot to rely on a young CB in the Premier League and the Europa League, so i guess if he signs we will have to see.
Silva seemed like he would be a good player, but he never did shine in a LCFC top, and personally we didn’t give him the chance he deserved. He should have had more game time than he did and i think we are missing out a lot with him. But we don’t need a Midfielder now so we might as well clear out some wages…”
What do YOU think to all of this? Let us know!!
