trooper 940 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 i'm not sure Gayle or Mitrovic (if he's still here) playing up front by themselves will be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well a site we got up on here last week valued Vardy at £15 million so in todays inflated price i'd say 25/30.

Ayatollah Hermione 13792 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Also, Rafa has added the pace we need with Atsu and Murphy, especially if Aarons stays fit also.

I still think we need that proven striker & a mate for Shelvey if it means blowing the rest of the budget so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We consolidate this year then we're on basically an even footing with the bottom 12 next season - which means we can push for top 10. Beyond that who knows, maybe top ten is about as good as it gets under Ashley - but Rafa can certainly get us that far, and in two years it would be a fairly speedy achievement.

I can't understand why anyone gives them any credence. Also why on earth would Vardy (the player who knocked back Arsenal last summer) want to come and play for us at the moment? It's absolute pie in the sky stuff. We should have been in for Iheanacho and Hernandez for me. Others might have gone in for them also and they might not have chosen us, but they were both posibilities. I'd definitely be asking Chelsea for Batshuayi on loan but I doubt they'll let him move until later in the window. Remy must surely be worth a punt too.

We won't be doing that this year, so bursting counter attacks should be more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1220 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Great form, fuck off. He couldn't keep Gouffran (a player who no one on here could believe we offered a new contract to) out of the team most of the season. He did to a bit better towards the end with a couple of goals but he only started 15 games all season. We were much weaker on the left side of the team throughout.

I was just making the point that Atsu was here last season and he wasn't particularly good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 (edited) Starting 15 games isn't his fault really, continual managers have played Gouffran despite him being shite. He finished the season strongly, he wants to play for the club and will be full of confidence going into the new season. He also has the potential to get better as he's still relatively young, it was a good signing for me.

David Kelly 1220 Posted July 19, 2017 Share Posted July 19, 2017 He's got more potential than Gouffran that's for sure but he's 25 and never managed to hold down a regular starting place anywhere. He didn't start most of the time ahead of Gouffran mainly because he didn't perform well enough (although I do think Gouffran's efforts defensively in front of Dummett were also a consideration). I hope you're right but I doubt he'll play much more of a part this coming season than he did last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 19, 2017 Author Share Posted July 19, 2017 Suppose we'll just have to see how the season pans out but looking at the transfer fees being dished out so far I think the fee for him looks like pennies so hopefully he can put some decent performances in. One more point about Gouffran, he rarely offered any sort of decent form yet played nearly every week over the past few years, regardless of how poor he was. He must have been like Maradona in training because he played like Madonna in most games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
