If he is used int he Leicester CB model he would do well. Offer a bit more pace at the back too. Right now i feel we have limited options if we want to play three at the back and use wing backs. He'd give us that option... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 7 November 2016 Share Posted 7 November 2016 Really would like us to spend some money on a young quicker CB. If we didn't have two CBs with the pace of snails, then it would allow Fuchs and Simpson to push up more and support our wingers without worrying as much about balls in behind that Huth and Morgan cannot deal with. When attacking, Mahrez often has no choice but to go inside because Simpson is standing at the half-way line for protection, but against teams like West Brom, we could have really done with a quick RB that can overlap and give us chances. I scoffed at the time, but Michael Keane would have been a good addition as a CB. CB, CAM and maybe an attacking right-back is on my xmas list.

foxes21 Posted 7 November 2016 Share Posted 7 November 2016 dont think we'd sign both a RB & CB. sign a rb & move Hernandez to CB. or sign a CB & persist with Hernandez at RB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbtcity Posted 7 November 2016 Author Share Posted 7 November 2016 The only problem with Hernandez is he's probably as slow if not slower than the pair of CB we already have, a bit of a pace injection into the back four is a must for me in jan, we've screwed ourselves over on the Keane front as after the start to the season he's had we can be looking at an extra 5m+ on the already inflated asking price in the summer... I'd be tempted to chuck benalouane in to see what he's made of before jan arrives Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me its a real shame he isnt in our 25 man squad as i actually thought with a few consecutive games under his belt he would equip himself well...

TJB-fox Posted 8 November 2016 Share Posted 8 November 2016 Must admit I find the Benalouane situation bizarre. I'd go out and get either Nzonzi/Silva and Keane. They will be well overpriced but we need strengthening in CM and CB desperately, and these two signings would improve us I'm sure. We've been scouting these 3 for a while too so see no reason why we shouldn't sign them. Just go and pay the money so we can survive comfortably and have a crack at the cups Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEnglandFox Posted 8 November 2016 Share Posted 8 November 2016 Cup tied Champions League players aren't coming to Leicester. The price to get them here would be gargantuan and we couldn't get full value out of them as we couldn't play them in the Champions League. What's the point? N'Zonzi is through to the round of 16. Silva is cup tied but Sporting are going to be in the Europa League. The only thing that doesn't completely write off Silva is that Sporting's Finances are ****ing shit and they need to have a firesale. Still though, he can't play Champions League so how much value are we really getting out of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EGBFitness Posted 8 November 2016 Share Posted 8 November 2016 Can we not just open the gossip page early for the Jan window?

Donut Posted 8 November 2016 Share Posted 8 November 2016 I said earlier in the forum, i woudnt be opposed to a move for Fabian Delph. Hes box to box, works hard, loves to get stuck in and has international experience. Has had injury issues but realistically not going to get much of game at Man City, and hes a player that could slot into the team immediately. Obviously Silva would have more quality, but I think he would be a smart signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
