NewEnglandFox Posted 11 May 2016 Share Posted 11 May 2016 Although there are still 2 more matchdays in AFCON qualifying remaining, Algeria and Ghana will undoubtedly make it to the big show. The dates of the competition are January 14th - February 5th. This could see our Africans miss up to 5 league games and 3 more potential games (FA CUP 3R,4, League Cup Semi Leg 2.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Africa_Cup_of_Nations Our Africans are Mahrez, Schlupp, Amartey, and Dodoo. Not to mention African transfer targets. How will we make it through those difficult 4 weeks? Does extra depth need to be found to get us through that competition?

FireFox Posted 11 May 2016 Share Posted 11 May 2016 Transfer thread?? How is this in the transfer thread? Because right now it is relevant for transfer activity/targets. It's not relevant at all for general Leicester discussion, not until at least November. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewEnglandFox Posted 11 May 2016 Author Share Posted 11 May 2016 Because right now it is relevant for transfer activity/targets. It's not relevant at all for general Leicester discussion, not until at least November. Pretty much. We know we're losing one of our big 3 for up to 10% of the season and as of now 2 seats on our bench. Dodoo is less important. We need a plan for that. That probably means a transfer. Also if we think we're signing a guy to start that's going to AFCON, that's 2 starters missing for a bunch of games. Every time a starter is out of the lineup, it makes at least 2 changes: one guy will come into the side and another will come onto the bench. Right now we're missing a starter and 2 subs. That's huge. Knowing the Schlupp and Mahrez will be gone we need another winger. It's as simple as that. Gray can't fill the shoes of Mahrez, Schlupp, his own, and the new missing spots on the bench by himself. Seriously? What do you do? Put Vardy out there? Then play who up top? The striker we haven't signed yet? But let's face it, that's already a problem because Vardy is the best counter attacking striker in the world. No, you bring in a guy. You plan for it because you know it's coming. AFCON means we need to sign at least another winger. It's a snowball effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireFox Posted 12 May 2016 Share Posted 12 May 2016 We need another winger anyway? Dyer played a part early doors but was only on loan?We'll have a minimum of 6 more games. More likely 8 (as I doubt we finish 4th in our group after being seeded to pot 1). We need 5 wingers. We probably have room for 6 in our squad since Gray is an U21. In mid Jan, we will likely be down 2 wingers (unless either/both leave before... in which case we would need to replace them anyway). Gray and Albrighton are great, but we often substitute our wingers and we could have a congested fixture list with the cups. We can always wait until early January to access the situation, but if our targets will have been on a winter break, being forced to throw them into the first team won't be the greatest thing to do.

FireFox Posted 31 August 2016 Share Posted 31 August 2016 Kasepr/Zieler Simson//Hernandez - Wes/Benny? - Huth/Was - Fuchs/Chilwell Albrighton/Gray - Silva/King - Drinky/Mendy - Musa/Kapi (/Fuchs) Vardy (/Musa) - Okazaki/Ulloa? Should be good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 31 August 2016 Share Posted 31 August 2016 We replace Mahrez with Gray or Kapustka and that's basically it. Even if Musa were going it wouldn't be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez, Amartey, Slimani, and Schlupp will probably all be usuals in the matchday squads. So that is 4 players we need cover for. As discussed earlier in this thread, regardless if they start, we still need cover for them. We need quality players who'd make up the numbers on the bench, to come on as impact substitutes or just be there in case of injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
