Who do you want Summer 2017

[Guest the fox]

Sead is great, but I don't remember him playing LB a lot this season from what I saw (and I saw a lot of schalke games).

He is better as a LWB, great pace and physical attributes, built like a tank.

I would love him here, but he would choose to go to a bigger club. 

I would like to try and get one of nastasic, bentaleb, Leon, Ralf fahrmann or howedes from schalke

youve deffo looked.  

No I didn't but wasn't disappointed after just looking through now!

 

To be fair, some good and original suggestions in here too though

[Strokes]

Gilfi Sigurdsson, Kieron Trippier, Jordan Pickford and Micheal Keane for me please.

Pulis wants Carvalho apparently. 

tbf if we moved to a 4231 sort of formation him and ndidi would be hard to get by.

[LCCFox96]

Always thought Josh King would suit our system nicely and he's certainly stepped up over the last 12months or so. Questioned the transfer when Bournemouth first signed him from Blackburn but's gone from strength to strength and added goals to his game.

Would love to have him in our team, could be the long term replacement for Vardy we've been looking for.

Bit old ain't he? And he'd play centre back with Morgan not alongside Ndidi surely!

 

[Bluearmy 316]

Would love Defoe on a 1 year contract to give vardy some pressure for the number 1 striker spot. Sigurdsson would be the dream signing. I think we will go back in for silva at sporting and get him this summer. Ben Gibson would be a great signing to sit under the learning tree of Morgan and huth for a season think we have missed the boat on Keane last summer he will go to a top 4 club probably Man Utd. And we obviously need a right back maybe trying get chambers from arsenal. We should really try and buy from the  premiership and only get 1 or 2 players from abroad

Would be a great signing. Also his background and rise from non-league is a perfect fit for us.

He's comfortable playing LB, LM, CDM & CAM.

Maybe he could be a left footed Albrighton? I've always said we need another Albrighton type, because without him our midfield looks disjointed.

 

Clucas/Gray as back up to Mahrez/Albrighton? However Lawrence wouldn't want to be 5th choice.. Maybe he can compete at number 10, or replace Gray if he leaves.

Yes Clucas was in our academy. Apparently he was a forward and top scorer every season, we released him as at the time he was too small, a height assessor predicted he would be 6ft 2in by the time he was 21. 

 

Think he was in Hoddles academy in Spain, but many think he has England potential, he is 26 though so not as young as people may think .

 

Be a decent signing but I think he would want to play every week

[AmarteyAndChill]

                       Schemeichel

Simpson     Jullien         Huth    Chilwell

                        Drinky Ndidi 

         Mahrez         Silva         Albrighton

                             Vardy  

That would be my preffered starting X11,

but what I think means nothing so I've just waisted 2mins. 

[Tuna]

Carl Jenkinson

Nathaniel Chalobah

Pontus Jansson

Troy Deeney

Jack Wilshere

Andy Carroll

Laser Markovic

Joe Hart (if Kasper goes).

[Guest CityFan 06]

Minor alterations to my previous list, these are options I'd like us to consider for Summer 2017. Not claiming it's realistic.

 

• Heaton, Hart, Pickford

(Assuming one of Schmeichel or Zieler move)

 

• Kieran Trippier

(Additional option to Simpson)

 

• Michael Keane

(Primary target for CB)

 

• Smalling, Ake, Maguire, Gibson, Mbodji

(Secondary target for CB)

 

• Hamsik, Martial, Sigurdsson 

(Mahrez likely to move)

 

• Lacazette, Giroud, Iheanacho, Negredo? 

(Assuming one of Slimani or Ulloa move)

 

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

Asmir Begovic is an Goalkeeping option many have overlooked, should Kasper leave. He he wants to leave Chelsea for first team football.

Some incredibly unrealistic shouts in there

Top call this. I'd be happy with Begovic as number one for sure.

not even unrealistic !

as I have said many times before, I love this thread for the laughs it delivers. thank you to the mods for opening it early this year!

Was thinking this a few weeks back where they were looking like they might slip down into the mire, can't see us being able to lure him now

[RumbleFox]

I say we go all Champ Manager 01/02 and sign a cvnt load of 15 year Swedes who are good at jumping. X

[matty98]

Not to sure what to make of Pickford, obviously he's had an outstanding season but there's always one keeper from a relegated club that looks unbelievable e.g. David Marshall and John Ruddy. Unless he's a reasonable price (under £10 million) I don't think he should be pursued.

No such thing as 'a reasonable price' these days

Yes, let's take west hams only decent centre back....?

[ALC Fox]

Rooney.

 

(I'm aware I've lost most readers already but bear with me.)

 

Creative number 10: ✔

Premier League experience: ✔

Leader/captain material: ✔

Goalscorer: ✔

Winner: ✔

 

Granted he would slow our game down. Granted he is past his peak. Granted he might, possibly, maybe not be as hungry as he once was. Granted it may cost us A LOT of money in wages.

 

But, I think he would fit in well in the dressing room here and it might be another reason for one or two of our in-demand players to stay.

 

Okazaki's energy is a huge part of our game and I love the guy to bits. But in terms of creativity and end product, Rooney would be a serious upgrade. We have plenty of energy elsewhere in the team with Albrighton, Ndidi and Vardy. And, Okazaki may well be more effective as a hyper energetic super sub in the final 30 minutes rather than the starting and only lasting the first 45-60.

 

People saying that Sigurdsson would be a great signing may well consider Rooney to be one too. In my opinion I think he would link up well with the two wingers, and with Vardy, Ndidi and Drinky.

 

The second leg against Atleti showed what we're capable of. We are actually capable of putting the top sides in European football to the sword. But, we missed one or two pieces of real top quality in our final ball or finishing. Rooney can provide that.

 

With smart recruitment elsewhere and if we keep our best players, I don't see how we would need to change our game too much to accommodate him.

 

[Dan]

Pontus Jansson is a great shout and it's realistic. I bet he'd be under £10mil as well.

You didn't lose me because of any of your points.. You lost me because Wayne Rooney who is on £300k a week, is not coming anywhere near Leicester. 

 

China are offering him £750k pre tax a week!

America will also offer him a load and the lifestyle he may want.

Everton are his only possible Premier League destination due to it being his boyhood club and that would involve a big wage cut.

 

Not happening. I think he is rapidly declining anyway. I'd go to China for a year, followed by couple of years in America and then call it a day.
