Great news. 1 done with 4 to go, now who is next?


;-)

I think you'll be very disappointed if you think we're going to churn 1/4 of our squad.

I actually think this will be our only piece of major business. Any other incomings will be kids for the future.

ITK already told us POCH is fuming after the newcastle debacle and want to sign as close as 4 players rather than 2 that was mentioned by ITK before

Can I just say that singing that in the NDP home stand would be absolute bonkers. Would put this Will Grigg is on fire to shame.

Hair on the back of the neck stuff, especially if he does it against chvs/goons.

In that case we'd be making a serious mistake and relying on most of our key men being injury free next season.

The squad doesn't need an overhaul, but we need to invest to consolidate our position.

I think we'll definitely aim to sign an established midfielder (although thought that last season), however I could see us going younger on any other signings (Go back for Rico Henry at Walsall, sound out Oxford at WH maybe?). I think we'll look at expensive wide options after missing out on O.Dembele, like Boufal for example, but not sure we'll get them over the line.

@Drexl Do you really think Arsenal fans will mug us off because they have some arab airline as their sponsor and we have the biggest sporting brand in the world as ours? Better yet, why would you care? Of all the things they could mug us off for this won't be one of them.

We could do a fuck ton worse than Nike. West Ham's rumoured sponsor is Mahindra ffs.

signing Batshit-sushi (see what I did there) so early will really put THFC into the spot light with a lot of other palyers - hopefully encourage a few other top class lads to defect to the white side COYS

Well, there was some suggestion of aiming to get deals done early, to avoid the post Euro's auction, and also to try and get the players in and settled ahead of preseason.
Batshuayi moving imminently closer (it seems) is a good start.
CB/DM in the Dier mould, ITK about a Poch former player would hint at Wanyama.
Possibly a CM to play the Dembele role of ITK about Mason to Bournemouth is true, clearing a squad space, thought Bentaleb's future still seems unclear.
Just someone maybe capable of opening up a defence, Bouffal or Malli are the names I've seen on here recently, but have we had any recent ITK?

That'd be 4 players, which ties in with the post Newcastle rumours of Poch's rage.

I have a feeling this position will be light on ITK like Son was.

There's rumours that Kante has a£20 million buyout cause.

I'd snap their hand off for him.

Personally think he's the best player of his kind in that position.

Could play with Dier or be Dier's cover if needed. depending on who we're playing.

I still think he's the main reason why Leicester were so successful this season.
