I found the breezer post if anybody is interested:

Edwards is losing patience according to who????
The Marcus chat is a load of bullshit! He still has 1 more year on his contract and he knows what work needs to be put in... unfortunately injuries haven't helped and breaking into our first team squad is almost impossible these days. Trust me there's no issues from his side! Don't believe everything you read.

I know this is old ITK but with him not going on the tour there was a few comments knocking about so good to clarify I think.

I presume him not going on tour is because he is only just back from England U19 duty.

The flags have all been furled, the cornets no longer play, even on a real nice day. I'm a pensioner but I'll send some cash when a signings underway.

hertyid on whether we are interested in mahrez :
We are. He is pushing hard for a move. Problem is they wanted Siggy to replace him and were quoted 50m. So not sure what price we could realistically get him for. Huge talent though and offers something we don't really have in the squad right now.

Needless to say, I highly doubt DL pays 50m

hertyid: the players we sign will almost certainly be attacking options.
VJ is here to stay from what I hear so I wouldn't expect a striker.

Probably an AM and/or winger. And a RB to rotate with Trippier.

But only if they are on Poch's shortlist, fit the club wage structure and offer clear upgrade on the player they will be replacing in the 25.

Our kids will get more game time this season that's for sure.

Thanks Dov! This ties in with previous ITK that those player search parameters (wage, age, Poch list, an upgrade) mean this is probably a small and tricky list to pull off

As much as I like him as player, Mahrez will not happen for multiple reasons
a) Fee; Can't see Leicester selling him for less than 40m. No way we are going to give 40m. Max we may go is 30 to 35m.
b) Wages ; He is already on 100k a week. Very remote he is happy with around same
c) Mahrez after winning league, ridiculed us. Not sure, if Poch would be willing to make a splash on a player who may potentially cause unrest within the group.

Didn't want Mahrez when we were first linked, but if it's him or no-one, I'll take him.

Edit: this was also my stance with Sissoko last season, in hindsight I wish we went with no-one.

When did he ridicule us? thought that was Vardy.

IMO £40m isn't totally beyond us. £40m is the new £30m and we paid that last season for Sissoko. Extra TV money, increased PL prize money, new sponsorship deals, CL money + £80m in player sales adds up to a fair bit. We have to be a bit cautious with the new stadium to pay for (even though that'll be paid by long term loans and naming rights) but nevertheless we could stretch to £40m for the right player I reckon - provided wage demands weren't excessive.
