volpeazzurro Posted 18 July 2017 Share Posted 18 July 2017 If we intend to keep Vardy as our number one striker I don't think there's room for both Sigurdson and Iheanacho in the same team, the emphasis being on the word team. Some of the supposed line-ups above to me look nothing more than a means to getting as many star players in a team as possible, regardless of whether those players are being utilised in their best positions. It makes me think back to England under Sven and McClaren. Remember how they used to want to cram Gerrard, Lampard and Scholes into the same team because they were our recognised best players? Scholes, one of our best ever central midfielders nullified by sticking him out wide left, no wonder he retired from England early! Joke decisions by joke management. I don't see Shakey straying far from his usual formations and I certainly don't see us buying both Iheanacho and Sigurdson. If he can play a decent number 10 role I see Iheanacho as the number 1 target as he's younger, potentially a more prolific goalscorer from open play, capable of playing 9 or 10 for the future and potentially half the price. Even with a sell on clause he also has more future sell on value than an ageing Sigurdson in 3yrs time Imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigurdsson is never a £50m player IMO. Outside his world class dead ball talents he's a mediocre PL player. No big clubs are after Sigurdsson but £50m is the price? Either the big clubs underrate him or we overvalue him. 100% this. The figure for Sanchez is £50m albeit he doesn't have long left on his current contract. Could you imagine us signing Sigurdsson for the same price as Sanchez? He's a good player but never £40m never mind £50m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't particularly love it, I'm certainly not obsessed I'm just saying that if we're going to fit Iheanacho and Sigurdsson in the same side then that would have to be the best solution. To be honest, I wouldn't be adverse to playing Simpson on the right of a back 3. You don't need 3 giants in a 3 at the back formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I wouldn't be adverse to playing Simpson on the right of a back 3. You don't need 3 giants in a 3 at the back formation. No worries. I just look at some people's predicted teams and worry that you're all just trying to fit players in. We should be purchasing players we need to improve the team not just purchasing them to fit them in - I think we've got a sound defence. Maybe we need another centre half but in terms of full backs we're in the best position I've ever seen us in. For me there's no way we're going to get both Ihneacho and Sigurdsson in the side - not that I'd pay £50mill for Sigurdsson anyway! I think we need a creative midfielder but if we're going for a £25mill forward then I can't see where that creative midfielder is going to play - especially considering we bought Iborra and have a recovering James coming back. Ndidi showed last season he needs to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be Roy Hodgson. "Formations don't win games, players do". Iheanacho as a wingback is either pure genius, or utter madness, and I've no idea which. I wish I had time to make my own "best players regardless of formation" starting eleven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the bookies haven't really got a clue but there must have been a few bets go on. or they are just covering their backsides because he could make a quick decision and their book would be skewed with a few quick bets at 7/1 if he decided to follow the wonga and come here. it wouldn't be a fortune for them but they don't want to on the wrong side to such an extent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
