Happy to hear if true, he's really good, quick and powerful when I've seen him. He hasn't appeared to have played much recently for some reason.

Can anyone shed some more light?

Slowly slowly catchy monkey

Not sure how strong he is defensively, but great going forward. Him an Brady would make a great leftsided partnership .

Just looked at a news archive of West Brom bidding for him last summer initial bid was £9 mil which was rejected then it was upped to £12 mil on a second bid , looks like they will play hardball move onto the next target then

Can play LB and LW, perfect from that point of view. Probably pricey though.

The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.

And what you are missing is that getting someone from outside the PL is a much bigger risk. Given the club's position, they might not want to take the risk on a player who might not settle in the UK let alone adjust to the differing demands of the PL in the short time that would be necessary to make a difference.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

So many players unsettled when the PL has over 60% foreign players and they are the best ones in the league.

They made this league the most attractive and even best in the world at some point (before some other foreign players, this time from La Liga, actually made that league the best).

Leicester fan in peace.

Schlupp is a bit of an enigma, he has the pace and power to cause any team in the league a problem. Unfortunately he doesn't have the brain to turn problems into an end product too often.

He's one of those frustrating players that would be brilliant if they were smarter and more composed.

I'm not sure where you want to play him, defensively he has the attributes to be a top modern full back. But again he lacks the brain to ever truly grasp where he should be positioned. We dropped him and De Laet from full back and we started to keep clean sheets. But we dropped him from being a winger as he didn't create enough.

I think he'd be ideal as a wing back, doing a job at either end of the pitch, but with other people to back him up if he has a brain fart.

It's one of them really that playing regularly and coached well with confidence he could turn out to be a bargain at £10m+.

Or you might not find the right position for him, he doesn't gain confidence and it's a £10m sub on the bench.

They are hugely important, where did I say they were not? But they are a bigger risk, particularly for a team that needs an instant impact, and which is what you have failed to address. Hence many teams in January will focus on players who already have PL experience, unless they cannot afford it. In which case they take a bigger risk by looking abroad.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

I don't think comparing Schlupp as a left winger up against Townsend as a left winger is relevant.

Townsend has been poor on the left and has pretty much given up in that position. He is a left footed winger who has only one interest and that is cutting in from the right to try and score goals...overall I feel he has been a major disappointment after he promised so much with his early displays. The fact he cant make it work on the left shows a lack of effort in my mind. So much ability but lacking in application.

As for Schlupp I don't know what to think. Playing two positions and both problem positions for us would be a big plus. I would actually say yes bring him in but at 10m it just goes to show why the club are talking about signing 1-2-3 at most and not the 3-4-5 that we probably need.

Not a chance on earth he's earning that money, total nonsense wherever that's from.
