Nice one

Didn't realise he was a descendent of Bori Johnson aka BoJo

[Pablo]

I don't really want this kid, especially not for £10m+. I think he'll be another Shelvey, not quite good enough for us and not quite fitting our style of play.

He will fit our style of play perfectly. Nothing like Shelvey

Really? The little I've seen of him his style is nothing like JJS and his style of play would suit us/Rodgers to a Tee.

[Pablo]

I might be wrong then, I'm purely basing it on Youtube clips TBH

Still £10m+ seems steep though.

He'll be going for a lot more next summer I imagine. He's the real deal. A clever player, great movement and vision and also pretty tough too. Been watched by Barca too. As Reece said, fits our style perfectly. I'm holding out hope in that Wallace is pretty reliable

[Reece]

I don't disagree it's a lot of money for what is in reality still only potential. But I doubt it'd be £10m up front (and that's only a rumoured figure anyway). More likely it would be based on rising performance bonuses etc.

spuds bought bale at the right time and the right price.
they paid southampton 5m, rising to 10m based on monkey impressions and climbing ability. spuds settled the remaining 5m by giving saints 2m worth of peanuts.

if we want top players we will have to be more astute and buy the cream of the young stars at this stage of their development.

Agree on that policy. I want us to splash some cash on Luke Shaw. He'd be perfect for us in the long term. They're not in need of cash so it'd take a big fee, but I think in the long run it'd be money well spent.

[Hemingway]

Shaw's a massive Chelsea fan, isn't he? Much the same way Hughes is with us. And both clubs have been tracking them for awhile, probably in contact with their agents. If another club came in for either I imagine they'd turn them down to wait out their dream move. Class player though.

As for Hughes, he's pretty much a perfect player for Rodgers, really understands the game and is quite good technically. Shelvey lacked the mobility and tactical awareness Rodgers prefers, Hughes is the opposite.

Disagree Pablo.

He is really nothing like Shelvey.

His game awareness is top notch, moves well with and without the ball, doesn't dwell on it neither, has decent pace, can pass with either foot and excells at one-touch and through-ball passing.

Can take a man, can cross, has more than decent defensive skills and is good in tracking back, all in all very good talent for an English player and I for one would be quite pleased if we'd sign him.

The issue is that we need to keep him where he is at Derby as he is not quite ready yet and we are looking for players that will make an instant impact and he atm is not it.

Is he 10m player or not that is a different matter but all English players come with build-in premium and there isnt' much you can do there.

One thing is for sure he can play.

[JohnDoe]

I'm on the Will Hughes bandwagon.

[Norbs]

Just sign the guy FFS! I almost think we're leaking to the press so that we don't have to buy them
