The 22-year-old has a contract with the Championship club until the summer of 2018. I reckon we're probably talking £10m + easily. He only signed for them 6 months ago, has 5 odd years remaining, he's English and young. Looking at what's going on this year with Dwight Gayle going for £8m, Andre Gray for £9m....we got a good deal for Long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saint-crinny Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 thoughts on Leicester signing Inler - pretty good signing IMO. Very strong and powerful, decent on the ball whenever i've seen him for Napoli or Swiss. Might have been good alongside Vic, albeit that position doesnt seem a priority with Romeu arriving. Don't see all that much Italian football, but have seen him pick up a few cards in the few games i have watched, could be an issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed on the age front - from Leicester perspective a good signing though after losing Cambiasso. Improves their squad.

Chez Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 The meltdown on Redcafe is quite amusing, seeing as they've lost out to Chelsea on the signing of Pedro. is he actually any good/worth that sort of wedge? I don't watch Spanish league games and I've only ever seen him come on as a sub for Barca in the CL games, which is not surprising considering the talent they have as first choice. When he comes on he runs around a lot and quite quickly too, scoring the odd goal, but usually when opponents have been totally crushed by Messi et al. He reminds me more of Navas than a Sanchez in terms of quality - am I mistaken? Feels a little desperate from Chelsea and United and not a signing that is going to bring them closer to CL success. I'd of thought LVG might be tempted to try and sign Ibrahimavic. Van Gaal has aid he is only there short term and Zlatan is very much a short term option (due to his age) that would lead the line well, allowing Rooney to flutter around in the number ten position. I see Derby are trying to sign one of my favourite Saints players of all time Antonio. Can't see that ever happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 19 August, 2015 Share Posted 19 August, 2015 is he actually any good/worth that sort of wedge? I might be alone here, but I've always really liked Pedro and thought £21m was a relative bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's a perfect fit for English football, proper midfield powerhouse. They've got some good creative midfielders as well, he'll facilitate them doing their jobs. Really good signing for Leicester I think - impressed by them so far this season in recruitment and performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Would be a good signing. But probably too expensive for us, we'll just get a loan. If we wanted the player I expect we'd spend big to get him, we spent £12m on Long for Christ sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Garrett Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 No idea why we're not after a wide player, would have taken Elia for sure. We have Mane (who we seem to be stuck with playing him centrally), Tadic (who has very poor games), Long (who isn't particularly very good and a striker), and JRod (who is a striker) Juanmi (who is a striker), JWP & Davis (who are central players) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long isn't a wide man and is very average full stop in my opinion. JRod has yet to show that he can make it back to where he was. Juanmi can't get in the side when we are desperate for an attacking midfielder to link it all together. JWP and Davis are neat and tidy but don't run a game from the `in-the-hole' position they sometimes fill. Neither can play out wide. Elia started brightly, looks to have pace and a trick, but by and large did very little just justify a full transfer. Do you think he would have improved given a long run in the side. He's not a nipper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Webby Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 we spent £12m on Long for Christ sake. I STILL don't understand that signing, for that fee, and I never will. He is/was worth 6-8m tops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolus Ex Machina Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 Thing is our style of play doesn't use wingers does it. Our width comes from the full-backs overlapping the players on the sides. Shaw, Clyne, Bertrand and Chambers were all able to do this extremely well for us since rejoining the Prem. Think the last Winger we actually had would be Puncheon? While I can see how having wingers would help us adapt our tactics if required I just don't see it in our plans.

tajjuk Posted 20 August, 2015 Share Posted 20 August, 2015 There are not a huge amount of wingers around these days, not in old fashioned get up and down in a 4-4-2 style anyway, they are more versatile forwards, for example Pedro is that sort of player. I'd say jay Rod and mane are also very much those sort of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we sold Shaw £30m, Chambers 16m, Lallana 24m, Lovren 20m so us spending 4m over the top in your opinion is a drop in the ocean for a player who is a great squad player who offers options.
