[Update 44] Trix with an update
Who: Trix
When: Today
Where: SC
All gone a bit quiet but a few bits
Spence looked most likely, but not any more.
Langlet not sure why that's being held up all but signed off, but it is being delayed.
Bremer nothing's changed, his partner doesn't want to move to UK, he'd prefer Italy.
All sounds negative and yet I'm being told we still think more in before Korea.
Bastoni as I posted 2 weeks ago deal was not dead, and also interest in Di Lorenzo from Napoli.
So Italy may well still hold the key to what's going on, though with how quiet things have gone I wouldn't be surprised to see a rabbit from the hat situation.
Update 45
Who Hercules
When 12th July
Where SC
Nothing groundbreaking. There was high confidence we would of concluded at least two be more around today/tomorrow. You can guess to your heart’s content. We had high hopes on a deal out of Italy, which has proved difficult. Selling club was fully on board, but not player.
Seen comments that Conte possibly not happy. And we have not really caught the world alight with let’s say ‘Big name’ signing.
Every single signing has been enthusiastically approved by Conté. Because certain players are media linked elsewhere to our neighbours, we all of a sudden on panic mode. I expect three more signings, including Spence.

[Update 50] Hotspur88 on Maddison
Who: Hotspur88
Where: SC
When: Today
This is one to keep an eye on as the window progresses.
We like him, he likes us and would like to join but it's not an easy deal to do.
He's their best player IMO, only has 2 years left on his contract and they're in desperate need of money. He is likely to fetch more then Tielemans so from a financial perspective, it makes the most sense to sell him. Rodgers doesn't want to lose him but their current situation means his opinion is basically void. Now that all sounds positive but they're currently very reluctant to sit down with us and I imagine they're trying their best to sell Tielemans first. However, they need to get a move on and if nothing looks like materialising with that, then they may have no option but to sit down and negotiate with us.
I must add that we have options for the creative mid, there are a few players we are looking at and I think most on here would be very happy with bringing any of them in.
The obvious pros for Maddison are being homegrown whilst also being proven in the league.
As mentioned, this is one to keep a close eye on. Leicester are slowly being forced into a corner and whilst we have the money available, we will definitely take advantage of teams who are struggling.

[Update 52] Hotspur88 on Zaniolo
Hotspur88 said:
Went to post in here earlier but had a crazy day so didn't get chance.
It's nothing you haven't already heard but I had a text saying there had been a small breakthrough with Zaniolo and a potential deal was looking positive. It didn't say anything more than that so I'm not sure how close it is, I just know that there is a certain level of confidence now which wasn't there a few days back.
