Iborra doesn’t shield the defence well and whoever is playing CDM needs to be able to cover our attacking fullbacks. Mendys a long shot, i wouldn’t mind seeing Choudhury in that position. But tbh, I don’t think a diamond would work, looking at that line up we’d be reliant on one player to create again, this time it’s not Mahrez it’s Maddison which is a step backwards. To replace Mahrez’s input i feel we need wingers alongside Maddison in the 10 role.

Now we’ve signed Evans I’d rather promote one of Moore or Hughes if we need a third CB. The 20m it would cost to sign Dragovic would be better spent elsewhere.

Do you think we’ll try to play a 3 man midfield? Ndidi holding, with Maddison and Grealish the playmakers and driving forward with the ball which we haven’t had since Kante. Or will it be more of a 4-2-3-1 with Maddison in the 10 position and Silva/Ndidi holding ?

Anyone had success with Betfairs same game multi?

Josh Gordon extended his contract then. Surely he needs to go out on loan now to L1 or the championship?

Agreed. As mentioned above hopefully that will go down significantly if Puel can promote more youth. I think it will decrease drastically anyway over the next 2 years. Hopefully we can shift Slimani, Musa, King & Ulloa this window plus the Mahrez sale. Next summer the wage bill will go down again as high earners like Simpson, Morgan & Fuchs will be out of contract.

Reckon he will be recalled to replace Gray during the season

There is no creativity thus no one able to pick out Vardy’s good movement

Hamer and Huth have already left and imo the following need to go: Benalouane, King, James, Mendy, Kapustka, Musa, Ulloa, Slimani Also Amartey probably needs to be loaned out.

Sakai is first choice but they rotated a lot due to the Europa league

Vardy

Schmeichel Pereira, Maguire, Evans, New LB Maddison, Ndidi, Grealish Roberts, Vardy, Gray

He looks a handful in this video tbh. Some nice runs from deep and he can dribble 30 yards with the ball and get the team up the pitch quickly.

Priorities: GK (Hamer replacement) CB (Huth replacement) RW (Mahrez replacement) Wishful: LB (Move Fuchs to 4th choice CB) LW (Not keen on Gray, but that’s my personal opinion)

We’ve pressed aggressively on numerous occassions: First half against Swansea at home Everton away Watford at home Huddersfield at home Chelsea away West Brom away Man Utd home Burnley away second half If you include the ‘new manager bounce’ period and the last 2 games I could list even more times where we’ve pressed well. It just hasn’t been consistent, because of a combination of poor players to begin with and players that can’t adapt to puel’s style. But as proven in the list above, Puel does want us to press. Next season we will see a team better suited to Puel’s tactics. Keep the faith !

Rui Patricio has terminated his contract

Or maybe he’s had a change of heart and wants to spearhead the Puel revolution?!!

Any news on Evans, Roberts, Maddison and Grealish?

Andreas Pereira

Interesting. What about: —————-Schmeichel————— Pereira—Maguire—Evans—New LB imo ————-Ndidi———- Maddison——Grealish Roberts————Vardy————Gray One way we can replace Mahrez’s creativity is all out attack!

We should promote Barnes & Thomas to the first team squad instead of splashing millions on equally unproven talent at this level.

He’s going to be our Theo Walcott... 10 years later on Foxestalk: ’Gray has lots of potential we need to give him time!’

The thread title is how do you think we will manage to replace Mahrez’s creative threat, not who we want to replace Mahrez. Judging by the current rumours, links and itk posts we’re more likely to sign Roberts, Maddison, Grealish etc over players like Ziyech and Hazard who we’ve barely been linked with.

First XI: Schmeichel Pereira, Maguire, Evans, New LB Silva, Ndidi Roberts, Maddison, Grealish Vardy Second XI: Jakupovic Simpson, Morgan, Benalouane, Chilwell Iborra, Choudhury Diabate, Barnes, Gray/Albrighton Iheanacho

Benalouane just did a no look pass for no reason Yep his recovery run back into position to make the tackle was impressive
