If Mahrez leaves, would love both of them here! Only problem is they're both centre players n neither can really play out wide. I think we need a wide man along the lines of Zaha or Balasie to replace Mahrez. My personal choice would be Gabigol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Providing Barnes gets int the first team and can play in central midfield it's him and Drinky as creative midfielders with King as a backup. Then it's Ndidi and Mendy as defensive midfielders. If Mahrez leaves we then have Albrighton, Gray or Musa on the wings. Shinji's still essential unless we change our tactics and strengthen our weakness when teams go through the centre of the park, and we have Vardy and Slimani. And maybe Musa if he comes good this season. Definitely a right back. A creative midfielder unless Barnes comes good. A defensive midfielder unless Mendy comes good. A winger to replace Mahrez. Amartey is good enough to be a back up defensive midfielder in our squad. Waste of money recruiting for a new one. We do need a creative midfielder though.... Silva is the answer imo. Barnes needs a year in the championship before we even say whether he's ready for the first team or not yet. Too much of a gamble & too much responsibility to put on a young lads shoulders, then that's where they usually start to fade away. Be patient with the young lads, exactly like how we have been with Chilwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We was once interested in Luan. He's still at Gremio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is young though. I'd prefer him as a backup centre half or right back. Wouldn't mind Silva as a defensive midfielder. A defensive midfielder. A creative midfielder. And a winger to replace Mahrez. Doubt we're getting four this pre-season though. Five if we don't see Amartey as a good backup right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ndidi is class, hopefully Drinky will have a good season as its normally 1 good season then 1 bad for him. Barnes has alot of potential but don't think we can rely on him regularly as hes still very young. King just isn't really good enough anymore. Mendy we've not seen enough of to judge like you said. And then there is matty James. Would be great if we could get him back to the player he was before injury but not sure if he will ever fulfil his potential after being out for so long. Still pretty young though so he may have a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having bought Klaasen and still chasing Sigurdsson - Everton have clearly put a for sale sign on his head. Realistically he isn't getting in any of the teams ahead of Everton his best option's are Southampton/West Ham/Us - mid table teams with eye's up the table.

Looked great when he first burst on the scene, but hasn't moved forward at all. Struggling to fulfil that potential, maybe a move will do him good.
