9 mil for Schlupp?!

Jesus. I don't know what is worse. Us offering that, or Leicester rejecting it!

[Eastsussex]

Townsend can do one ..he has had so many clubs now he's nicking a living...as for shlupp reading there website I think we should look to other targets but maybe bs can get a tune out of him...all in all gonna be a interesting tw..just hope parish backs him

[NorthPalace23]

Are Leciester mad? Rejecting 9 million for someone who has started 1 yes 1 game this season!

Also how mad are we?!

What has Schlupp actually achieved in his career. I know he's fast but has he really done anything to merit us bidding for him?

[theCoach]

I fear we might end up with this very ordinary footballer

From what I have seen of him he does look ordinary

When fit he was a regular in Leicesters title winning team. Clearly not a bad player and 9 million for a Premier League player, in January, isn't that much nowadays.

I wonder how much we are prepared to pay for him, if 9M already rejected? It really is difficult to value players at the moment. It seems you have done well to get average for 10M these days. If we go down we should be demanding 10M for the likes of Ward on the basis he has 4 years prem experience.....

I don't like players that are neither one thing or another.

Let's buy a genuine left back and a genuine winger rather than someone like him or Brady that do a bit of both.

I have to ask why he hasn't forced his way back into Leicester's side. To reject a £9m bid is odd.

James Milner copes pretty well at Liverpool, it's the modern game,

[St.Francois]

Basically we need left sided players and everyone knows it, so the chances of getting a good buy (unless our scouting has suddenly improved) are zero. Add to that we're not a great proposition at the moment, it's not looking too promising.

Would LOVE to sign Milner but he's out of our league

Sorry but that is a bit like comparing a mini with a Lamborghini because they both have 4 wheels

Poor mans Bolassie? That sounds like a brilliant description of Bolassie. So kudos for that. And he's going to be out for the better part of 2 years.

BTW only one L in woeful.

[Worksop Palace]

Just spoken to a Leicester ST holder. Generally speaking the lcfc fans have given up on him and had enough of him failing to deliver on his potential. A poor mans bolasie were his exact words. And then he went on to describe Bolasie great speed and strength but no end product. The only difference being he's a mardy arse as well. Best for both parties that he moves on. If he delivers, he could be one hell of a player for us

[aj4england]

Really don't get the whole 'no end product Bolasie comments'. I forgot that over the recent years we have had so many players who are as physically commanding and direct as him and have been able to pop up with goals such as Watford FA Cup Semi, ripping Liverpool apart regularly, his cross for Zahas goal against Brighton in the playoffs. The threat he offered, or according to people on this site, 'apparent threat' prevented teams doubling up on him or Wilf. As a pair it worked beautifully.

As for the poor mans Bolasie title, this is something I would take right now. The position we find ourselves is, we currently hold Townsend we have a 'poor mans' Keiron Dijali and not to mention A poor mans Andy Dorman 'Jordon Mutch'.

Schlupp is the exact sort of player we need. Is £9m plus overpriced. Probably. But compare that to the £120m loss if relegated....
