United have been linked with him previously. He's been sitting on the bench this season and thats why he's handed a transfer request. Thats what the rumours were earlier this season. Id still at least make an attempt to sign him.

I'd like that. A bit more cover and stability but it'd still leave us needing a younger centre back. He'd certainly do until the summer in 2018. He's a good player who knows how to actually pass it.

frany104 Posted 5 January 2017 Posted 5 January 2017 Fonte is older than both our current CB's! cant see the point in signing him tbh. Id be all over signing Jenkinson though.

Stadt Posted 5 January 2017 Posted 5 January 2017 Fonte's angling for a move to United or Liverpool, no chance he's coming here

If it's a choice of either signing no more players, or filling the squad with mediocre buys who won't improve our starting 11, then I would rather we didn't sign anyone else.

I'm interested in both the CBs we've been linked with. I'm not too familiar with them but I feel we need more mobility and technical ability in that area. Put it this way, 36 year-old Wasilewski is our second choice CB.
Wortho Posted 5 January 2017 Posted 5 January 2017 How can anyone want to sign jenkinson. Wenger certainly doesn't want him. Jenkinson is just awful and is bereft of any footballing brain.

Also another guy who told us about Ndidi before anyone else, reckons we'll try and get a striker if possible too this window. I hope ur 100% right with that sort of recruitment I think we could end up in a top 10 position, also we could go to the last eight of the champs cup.

I'd take him on 6 month loan with view to do a permament deal in the Summer if he impresses. Only 24 and so got his best years to come and potentially a step up from Simpson. We need two decent players for every position and I still wouldn't count Hernandez as a RB

Hope it comes to fruition, I know it's still early and we're most definitely proactive on the CB front. But I hope we add that creative spark either a CM or CAM, so that we can unlock defenses through the middle (rather than out wide all the time).
shailen Posted 6 January 2017 Posted 6 January 2017 A player I'd like to see here is Moussa Dembele (Spurs). He's a rotation player there although he's been starting recently...great player

Innovindil Posted 6 January 2017 Posted 6 January 2017 If it's true that Bojan wants out of Stoke I'd love to see him in a Leicester shirt. Inconsistent maybe but when he's on song there isn't many better.
bridport007 Posted 6 January 2017 Posted 6 January 2017 Would love Defoe. He's still got a couple of years in him, and he's proven.

Doesn't he pretty much play every week and when he doesn't, they are worse off for it? Very good player. Almost as good as your namesake ?
