Robbie Brady

[LinekersApples]

Huth & Morgan go up for corners.

 

Can't remember Leo scoring from many corners??

Genuinely. I'm an Ireland fan so have watched a fair bit of Brady and followed his career for a few years. 

 

In essence he is a left footed Albrighton with a higher ceiling.

He's got more than Albrighton, he's got goals him in too. Not bad at dead ball situations and better at corners than anyone currently in our team.

If Brady costs 5m more than we get for Schlupp then that's good business.

Everton now interested again!

 

I'm keeping out of this one.  Not ITK, but a reliable source suggested we would go for him, as an additional CM who can also cover LM/LB

So you are just following betting patterns then I take it?

Fair play bud

 

if he is as good as you say then let's hope we get him

 

up the Foxes

[Guest CityFan 06]

The more it goes on, the more I like the idea of him coming here. From all accounts he's got a very good left foot on him, as well as shooting and crossing ability. I know myself he has versatility which leads me to think why we are interested in him, as he is similar to Schlupp in that way. I do not want to see Schlupp move like others, and at the same time the most I'd like to see us pay for Brady is 15m. If we could buy Brady for 10-12m that'd be great business.

 

If Norwich are insistent on 20m+ for him than I do not think we should buy, as I feel it's important we need to balance out our signings in as best value we can. We seem to make signings who are versatile, so Brady would add to that which is always nice. I think Brady would fit in well with his work ethic. He probably knows some of our players here already too.

Sorry what??

 

no way. I wouldn't swap schlupp for Brady plus £10m. Brady offers us nothing different. 

 

Schlupp much more effective than Brady would be for us. Brady wouldn't start and it's not even a contest for who I would rather bring on at 60 odd minutes.

Brady is quality, don't understand why people are saying he had a poor euro's because that's nonense. 

 

He worked his balls off for that Irish side, claimed an assist or 2 & scored a winner for them. In the amount of games he played that's bloody good going.

 

His work rate is immense & he can also play left back if we're chasing a game like Saturday & then chuck on another attacking option. His dead ball's are different gravy & his overall play is very good. 

 

He is an upgrade to Schlupp because he's consistent every week. Just because he doesn't have Jeff's pace doesn't mean he's not as good as him.

You can start Brady and trust him.

 

Can you trust Jeff from the start?

 

We'd be selling a squad player and replacing him with a viable starter.

It doesn't mean he's as good as Schlupp? 

 

In what context? For us schlupp is unique as he brings strength pace and power as a wide midfield option. We desperately need that option. 

 

Brady offers us work rate, technique and versatility but nothing unique that our other wide players don't have.

 

we were crying out for schlupp on Saturday when chasing the game and that was only against Hull! If he does go then we need a similar replacement not something similar to the rest of our existing wide players.

He is a late bloomer as well Robbie  , he could go on to be very very high class

Jeff has no end product , and you can run fast and with power all you want but if there is no end product what's the point

This post hits the nail on the head.

 

Brady is a very good player but can't be viewed as a replacement for Schlupp because they have very different abilities and style.

 

For all his faults (and it can't be ignored that he is young enough to improve), Jeff offers something unique and, like Kante, it's hard to think of another player with similar attributes.

 

As someone has observed earlier, whilst some of his critics deride him because he possesses mostly pace and power, these are precisely the attributes that you can^t learn, whereas you can improve on technique, reading the game, etc.

 

What's more, there are certain situations, and last Saturday was a good example, where the introduction of raw pace and power might have had a significant, match-changing impact.

 

Signing Brady would be a good acquisition in terms of adding to the squad size and quality, but not as an effective replacement for Schlupp. I hope it's not too late and that our management pull out all the stops to keep Jeff and retain squad morale.

 

 

[Nick]

Well there's been no real indication we are interested in Brady (or many other alleged subject title thread targets in the transfer section of the forum)  in the last few weeks......

 

I hope we are doing good business quietly rather than no business without noise.

[TJB-fox]

I don't think it's just about the end product with Jeff though. His pace and power just drags you up the pitch when under pressure, creates space when attacking, is always an out ball. He can change momentum in games because one decent run down the wing from him and suddenly Leicester are on the front foot, fans get off their seats and helps pin the other team back. He's improving too. Look at Swansea, home, last season- absolutely battered them. No way on earth Robbie Brady could single handedly take apart a prem team like that. We don't need a reserve left back, we've got Fuchs and Chilwell, he isnt an improvement on our wingers, and doesn't add anything to our centre mids- for me this would be a really odd signing

But he is as good as Schlupp. Musa is an identical replacement for Schlupp but has more end product.

 

Brady does offer us something different as he's the only winger who can play on the left yet still put in deadly balls into the box. Albrigton is to predictable on left & gets caught out all the time as he has no left foot.

 

if we were to sign Brady & Slimani we would be lethal with the balls coming into the box for the main men up top.

 

Brady has a huge future ahead of him, even the pundits at the euro's said & that's rare!

As good as him at what?

 

As i say Brady offers nothing different other than being left footed to other options we have. Schlupp is unpredictable but has the ability to power past and do something no one else can in our squad..

 

If you can't see that Schlupp provides something uniquely superior to Brady in our current squad / set up then i'm not sure you've ever watched us play. We need players capable of playing on the counter who can carry the ball. 

 

And there's nothing to suggest we're even bidding for Slimani so that point is just purely speculation and fantasy. 

 

Anyway we can agree to disagree but if you can't see that even on Saturday we were crying out for Schlupp and will be in a lot of games this season then you will certainly notice it if he goes.

 

We've lost a lot of our power and pace in Kante in terms of when the ball turns over when we're sat deep and our ability to go from defence to attack. Schlupp is probably our only other natural midfield player at that. Mahrez, Albrighton, Mendy, King, Drinkwater don't do that. It could be argued Demarai does/will do that too but we need more than one option in that aspect.

 

If we change our style of play which could well happen with DD and Mendy in midfield then fine but for now we would miss Jeff hugely IMO.

I'm not disagreeing with youon the fact about his pace & power, but you can't have one good game & live of that for the next 5 or 6 games. That's what Schlupp does he's way to inconsistent & if we're challenging top end of the table we need consistency. 

 

Also in return to your "not sure you've ever seen us play" I've watched every game since Schlupp made his debut against Rotherham, whether it was through stream or live in person. So I have a fairly good opinion on him.

 

Finally whilst your so against us getting rid of him the rumours are he doesn't want to stay & I don't know about you but I would never keep a unhappy player. 

 

I can gurantee you have hardly seen anything of Brady either. Your opinion is just biased as Jeff is one of our own. Being Irish myself I've Brady come through the ranks & he will only get better. He's got bags more potential than Schlupp as he offers more. Yes Jeff is powerful blah blah blah, but he's brain dead. Doesn't have a clue how to play football. Brady offers you a variety of skills & he isn't slow himself.

 

He will be a key top 10 premiership footballer in the next few years believe me.

If he had end product he'd be playing for a top club. Yes he has his flaws but he's a very good squad player. As others have mentioned, we could have done with him on the bench on Saturday.

I assure you I've seen a lot of both players. 

 

And yeah we'll see who has the better career anyway.

I really think Jeff could be coached into a disruptive defensive midfield player with awesome strength and counter attacking pace, in a central midfield trio. Drinkwater, Mendy and Schlupp could be frightening for opposition teams.
