If we’re looking for a Winks back up, we should seriously consider revisiting the Sensi situation, and now get him on a free

Then leave him well alone. He ain’t worth >. £10m. We don’t need to be paying a Spurs/Levy tax

I think he'll go Saudi or Turkey

0 snr England caps

And when Winks gets (inevitably) injured.......?

Hear me out..... Completely agree with the above, tbh. But, rather than spend anything on a back up for Winks, why don't we re-visit Stefano Sensi for Free! he's the most 'Winks' type player i've seen. He'd come, if we showed him some love. He wouldn't be expected to play too many games. He could do a job share with Winks

Would rather have Jordan James for that kind of money

of coarse they are

Forest getting Nikola Milenković A CB Pairing of him and Murrilo looks pretty formidable, on paper, tbh Lets hope he turns out to be slow and out his depth in the PL

Sky Transfer Center: Leicester in talks with Juventus over Soule deal Latest from Sky Sports' Lyall Thomas and Sky Italy's Gianluca Di Marzio: Leicester are in talks with Juventus over a deal for Matias Soule. The Argentina U23 international is a player of interest to Leicester and one of a number in the attacking-midfield position they are looking to recruit in. Juventus want a substantial fee for him in the region of £33.5m (€40m) for Soule, who is believed to be keen on a move to Roma, who have yet to bid.

I hear ya, but they do have circa 100 prem league games between them, under their belt. I'm not suggesting they should be our starting pair, ever (please no) but they are back up.

Feel we win this one. Welcome our Argentine prince 👑

yes, good point

We have four options for the 'deeper lying' central midfield position, Ndidi, Winks, Soumare and Choudhury. I don't think this position is priority tbh

No thanks. We should skip this

Nice

We need a proper no10, mate The versatile players should be used as back up to the ‘square pegs’. its a squad game played over a season with lots of injuries You don’t have to get all your best players on the pitch at the same time. Especially if you’re lucky enough to have say 16 top quality players

This guy certainly gives us more flexibility in wide areas than Soule. I think people are clutching a little bit, if they think Soule will be played as a 10. He can, but don’t think we’d buy him for that.

Anyway, not sure where you’re getting this ‘not playing wingers’ bit from? He plays 4231 a fair bit. He even played it when they came to our place. (admittedly we spanked them that day 👀)

This guy and BDCR are very versatile (as with Choudhury and JJ to an extent). Mangers will generally tell us that they want 2 good options for each position. With these ‘Swiss army knife’ types, these are good options for squad building.

Definitely

‘All these’ How many wingers do you think we’ll end up with? I think we’ll end up with 4. Hardly excessive

Cooper plays 433, 3421 AND 4231 He likes to have players at his disposal to play any formation He had some relative good success when he played MGW in his favoured position as a number 10, getting Forest out of a sticky patch when they reverted to that system

As I’ve said in other threads, If it means we get a less good winger to then have the money to buy a proper number 10, then I’m happy with this outcome. Just hope it is the case that we get that special number 10

He exactly. Knew Soule was too good to be true for us (tbf, he’s probably just too expensive).
