After accepting £500k for Dapo though I wouldn’t hold out any excitement on us rinsing clubs. Leicester's wage bill isn't far off Arsenals. I doubt they'll be throwing cash around this summer.

Shopping at L1 clubs probably wouldn’t be described as throwing money around. Remember when Anderson negotiated the clough fee down for quicker payment. We’ve only rinsed anyone once in my lifetime and that was Madine to Cardiff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leyther_Matt Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Leicester will be looking to sign players capable of playing in the Prem. With all respect to Rico, he doesn’t fit that bill. I could only ever see him make a go of it in a side that plays with three at the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Toal would be the most attractive asset of our defenders anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

passmosster Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Remember seeing Holding and Clough in the David Lee u-18s. They were outstanding at that level. Clough's downturn started when he injured his shoulder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W.cramp Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 The Luton keeper who was at Barnsley till yesterday looked decent and was a master at shithousery, he'd be an option, him and the shrews keeper. Plus that Connell lad at Barnsley , not sure what he did so wrong against us to be given grief but he's a damn good midfielder, dont know what his contract situation is but he'd be a very decent player for us, and again good at the shithousery art.

That's probably the reality for any talented youngster we produce if a big club comes calling And considering the appalling state the club was in at the time he left, any player with anything about them would be looking to get out ASAP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, until we see Rico at a higher level we aren’t going to know so if Leicester are offering good money for him I’d let him go.

Farrelli Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Our transfer policy is unlikely to deviate much from acquiring young players lower down the pyramid (Toal, Santos, Morley) or out of contract / soon to be out of contract players with sell on value (Charles, Dapo, Dempsey, Iredale).

Bigger club, bigger crowds, better stadium, better training facilities, and no reason we can’t pay bigger wages than Barnsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
