Getting a bit crazy with wingers fighting for game time hope Leicester still on course for Hlozek

8-9m Euros probably £7.5 million for the year sounds a lot to begin with. But the Lens defeat really brought home the fact that the club needs game changers more than just squad players brought in for back up. So I'm in agreement with this. Still think another striker and CAM is needed

Well I feel sorry for the lad. He got 20mins the other day when the team was being battered midfield supply was non existent etc. I also think given Vardy’s injury and Daka not scoring he could have been looked at earlier .Maybe he is not good enough but players need to know his strengths. Watching him against Huddersfield last year and clips of his 8 goals on loan convinced me there is some talent and finishing ability.

Surely the first question is whether the player would be interested in moving to Leicester England. If so then start the bidding. No time for the Soule fiasco or silly bids that will irritate the club as you say

Ipswich wanted him earlier in the window and bid over £20 million I think and they wanted a lot more. Looks good but would he come to Leicester - I suppose Theo Zagorakis could put a good word in for us perhaps!

I think Leicester need someone who is either a proven goal scorer at top level or a bit different to what we have. Watching yesterday the team was bullied Daka looked a bit lightweight and I'd like a big centre forward than can hold the ball up etc. Not sure Fofana would be ideal profile need another Leonardo Ulloa from 10 years ago. Still needed the great escape even with him in the side.!

Really miss having KDH as an outlet. Just looking at the team sheet looks like 8 defensive players and that how it played out. However physically could not compete or string anything together. Cannon has to come on because whether the manager rates him or not he cannot go out on loan if Vardy and Daka are injured. Needs those 3-4 signings as soon as possible but I don't think even Zaha could turn this around unless we invest in a quality CAM or two

Scored excellent goal last night. Just wonder if there isn't enough in the kitty to fund this

Brilliant. I was thinking about Speedie and Claridge who were both in their early 30s and came in and did a great job.

Didn’t think he would come to Leicester he has better options . Are we linked to any attacking central midfielders? Seem to have been linked to just about every other role

Precisely. Need to be realistic.Leicester can’t take on top half premiership wages or waste time on negotiations

I am lost as to what is happening. Different links falling down at the final hurdle. I look at other similar clubs and they at least seem to have some sort of focus and realism even if their signings are not stunning. The links to random wingers or strikers second choice for top premier league teams but still on big unaffordable wages seems so futile. There doesn’t seem a lot of research before getting involved all a bit scattergun IMO. Personally I’d look at the best of the Championship players to sort midfield out such as Hamer, James etc etc rather than getting caught in no mans land with the finances

If money is a tight as the article suggests it might be reasonable to look around. I’m more concerned about replacing KDH which I had thought would have been the top priority. We can see that is going to be £20m plus looking at recent links

Option to buy is OK but obligation surely unwise at best for player still unproven at Premier league

Perhaps cheap loan plus £10 to 12m for Hamer. Apologies can see someone had already suggested something similsr

I am getting nearer the panic stage because the recruitment just seems a bit random Including a central defender and links to multiple wingers. It may be that Leicester cannot attract a quality attacking midfielder and striker but I’m worried that we are going to end up with a bloated squad but weaker first 11

Surely Leicester could compete for Rowe deal not done and dusted

I don’t think it will be as much as that if the Sun are reporting £21m then it is converted from euros. Agree still sounds a huge amount if true

Leicester desperately need more goals in the side.Even if Szmodics got a third of last years tally that is 9 goals. Ipswich will complete this signing and not worry about resale and if Leicester don’t move on this I suspect he will do well with them. He is confident and we know that he is great if we end up back in Champioship. I doubt the fee will be much over £10 million plus add ons. Can play as striker or attacking midfielder.

How can Leicester send Cannon on loan even with a fit Vardy? I am still perplexed as to why Cannon hasn’t had more game time in pre season. Yes if another proven striker comes in would consider it for his own development

Rodgers said yesterday in an interview that the bids received so far were not even close to their valuation. If he did go to Southampton the reaction on here won't be great considering that nearly all the other midfielders linked to Leicester look defensive to me. I'm not sure how all this impacts on the Hatate situation but wouldn't want to wait until the end of the window to find out

Jordan Blackwell reporting that this deal is not proceeding speculating might be wage demands.

I’m hoping for more focussed signings that will improve the starting 11 not just good squad players. Central attacking midfielders such as Sara and young Jordan James ideally both. A striker if he is an upgrade on what we have.

Unfortunately Leicester may not be his first choice as he knows the Southampton boss and is rumoured to want to play in Italy. Totally agree that we need creative midfielders and there are very few links at the moment
