So ignoring the money we have signed four first team starters and a two bright prospects one with pl experience. Sure is a terrible window.

Hard to evaluate a window if you're ignoring at least half of the equations.

The players we've signed are great.

But people will rightly point to the fees we've paid and question if we got value for money.

I'm not so sure particularly with the fees for Fofana and the two young players.

Hola Madrid in 2024!

You are wrong there mate. It will be Barca, they pinch all the players we want 😉

Has he played much since his injury? Do we even know how he's recovered from it?

I like the look of Harvey Barnes. Not sure why we picked going after Gordon after him, kid seems a star in the making.

He’s fantastic, but as with most players Rodgers just can’t get a tune out of them now. I thank you for the £80m so we can pay the c*** off. 

It’s a lot of money.

but we need strengthening as we are light in defense.

now let’s get a striker plz

He played the end of last season and was in fine form straight off the bat. He’s fine after it, it’s the little niggling injuries you can get after a bad injury I’d worry about. He came into the season having to be managed though them.

Who would you want to see replace Rodgers?

Shesh is it worth paying Rodgers 80mill to leave. Seems a bit steep lol.

Niggling injuries....oh dear another on the Kante path of changing from flesh to glass then...

Graham Potter would be ideal for any aspiring side imo. Thomas Frank is impressive so far too.

This stinks of Kepa part 2

Based on watching him play.  

Notice that you've dropped the Gordon avatar now 

Saw this comment from a Leicester fan regarding Fofana which is a good point:

"I’d say being already good enough to start for a side who finished 5th in PL and win the FA Cup at 19 and to be one of their better players that season absolutely does make him a unique talent though.

 

Centre backs generally develop a few years later than other outfield players and it’s the outfield position that generally requires the most experience, it’s rare eeven for most of the best centre backs in the world to be good top flight players until they’re 23 or so usually.

He’s 21, he could easily have another 15 years left at top flight level, in which case Chelsea are laughing and he cost them about £6mil a year, which is nothing."

Also have to remember that Liverpool signed Van Dijk for a similar fee when he was 26 and Fofana is 5 years younger than what Liverpool bought Van Dijk for then and you would say that is good business with how he has turned out so if he turns out anywhere near the same, then good business.

I will be quite disappointed if we don't get him.

All my flash Gordon references...

Hmm maybe you don't, maybe you do. I just admit I would have preferred 140m for Fofana and Ndidi, instead of all this de Jong f@ckery we have had for weeks on end

God knows, bit late in the day now. Anyone who isn’t a self serving prick would be nice.

Ndidi, nah. Great destroyer but his all round game just isn’t at the required level. 

Happy with this one, a very good player already IMO.

I think he’ll be good value in the end.

The only thing stopping him is whether he just loses focus and it’s all happened too soon. Seeing as he’s shown numerous times to be a petulant spoilt brat at his last two clubs, I’d say there is potential there for that. 
 

But keep the focus and drive to improve and he’ll be a star. Leicester fans are annoyed at getting a record fee (addons granted)…. That should tell you how highly he’s rated.

Sean Dyche is available 

I always thought he did a really good job with limited means

Not sure we are set up for his style of play!
