Other Clubs' Transfer Rumours/Deals (Summer 16/17)

[Duke]

We matched Dortmund's bid IIRC and he rightly chose them

[beatski]

pretty sure we were after him the year before as well.

[Remember Colo]

I remember when we were linked with him in a transfer window not too long ago but he chose to go to Germany because of Klopp.

I think he was one of those people that wouldn't have come to us, even if we hadn't been stingy and increased our bid.

Definitely this. I don't think it was ever a case of us not willing to foot the bill, it's that the player always knew they could go somewhere better (if not then, soon). Very similar to the Lacazette situation.

[Holystone...]

Pogba to ManU rumours flying around again. At £60m the irony is beautiful .

[The Deluded Pablo Diego Jose Francisco]

Watford reject 20mil bid from Leicester for Troy Deeney.

If you want to replace Vardy, you don't go for someone like Deeney.

Madness, I wouldn't even spend half that on Deeney.

Are Watford mad?!

They're rumoured to be after Sigurdsson for £20m too. Throwing money around.

It makes no sense. Deeny and Vardy are completely different types of players. If they wanted to replace Ulloa then Deeny would be a decent fit, not for £20m though.

Both clubs are mental. Leicester for offering that much and probably more so Watford for turning down that much.

[TJR]

Vardy to Arsenal is a strange one as well. Bad move for both Vardy and Arsenal. Vardy doesn't suit the system Arsenal play and likely wouldn't get as much game time as he does at Leicester. Arsenal are yet again signing a player they don't need. If they're looking at Leicester players they'd be better off signing Kante.

I'm not so sure. His record in France was hardly spectacular and was very much unproven but to be fair he's thrived in Germany.

To he say he dodged a bullet couldn't be more true

He certainty did

He was very highly rated a few years ago still so was always going to have bigger offers than us.

Vardy is apparently going to reject Arsenal, think Deeney would just be for squad depth.

I could see him fitting right into Klopp's style at Liverpool, although Klopp prefers developing young players.

Defoe gets 3 year extended deal, Carrick 1year.

[bodacious benny]

Can't see defoe doing much in 2 or 3 years time.

That's a step down though.

At the moment, but long term Liverpool are more appealing than Leicester. I'd also put money on Liverpool finishing above Leicester next season. Leicester won't be able to handle the CL and PL (like last season when they were happy to get knocked out of the League Cup and FA Cup early on as they didn't have the team to focus on more than one competition).

[Heisen]

I wouldn't want to write off Leicester again but I can't see them replicating their success. Can see them doing more of a Blackburn than anything else.

Watford have bid for Saido Berahino.
