How does interest grow ffs? You are either interested or not. Its like a day goes by and now they are more interested than the previous. Is he a target or not? The reporting on transfers is rubbish.
Probably dependent on whether they get FDJ over the line, which is looking increasingly unlikely by the day.How does interest grow ffs? You are either interested or not.

Considering the prospect of being without a certain lynchpin central midfielder in an area where we already lacked quality, and our recurring left back issues, this should be far down our priority list.Hopefully this gets done, think he'll be a good PL buy. We mostly moved like City getting players from within the league to bump up the overall quality of the squad.
This achieves that.
Would really like a Raphinha level statement player, though.
it aintIf this is gonna happen why hasn't it already?
Most likely does not want to come here. Think he's after a big payday and CL football.If this is gonna happen why hasn't it already?
I swear some of you think this stuff is like buying milk from TescoIf this is gonna happen why hasn't it already?

No one thinks it’s that easy, but you have to admit this is a comparatively straightforward transfer to get done.
I reckon people will only blow their lid if he ends up signing for another club, especially a rival, out of nowhere.There’s no such thing as a straightforward transfer at this level unless you have a club desperate to sell to you and I see nothing to suggest Leicester want to do anything other than make this painful.
Even if we had an economic agreement in principle, the type of contracts players & clubs have now involve stakeholders like insurance companies, tax agencies, commercial sponsors, legal firms etc.
There are usually departments working on this stuff for literally months by the time anything gets leaked to media sources.
It’s also usually a lot less complicated when trading with a club you’ve done business with before and have strong relationships but that isn’t the case here.
I say all this bc I can foresee people blowing their lid if he doesn’t join and unjustly so in my opinion.

I promise you NO transfer at this level happens in a day or two lol. Even for youth players. Our perceptions are wildly distorted by the availability of public information.I agree transfers are more complex than fans often think, but there are degrees of difficulty. And let’s remember some transfers do literally happen in a day or two, it’s not always months.

The most critical aspect that you’re missing though, and I feel most of us are under estimating is Leicester’s desire to sell to us.This deal is seemingly one that the club could have already done though. Agree with what you're saying that no one really knows the ins and outs of the negotiations, but a guy with 1 year left who's seemingly keen to join probably is an easier deal to do than say Raphinha or someone.
It kind of implies that YT isn't the clubs first choice for that position imo.

Doable? Yes. Easy? No.
Teams like Leicester and Villa have financial muscle teams in their position didn’t have 20 years ago and they have beef over the super league thing.
It wouldn’t surprise me if they’d rather see him move abroad or to a CL team on a free than take £30m from us.

Or you can do it the Big Sam way.Read Harry Redknapp’s memoirs and come back to me
