We've got numbers in that position but the majority of them are god awful bar Vardy and Okazaki. Sturridge worth a shout? You have to have a plan. We already have six first team squad strikers and Vardy is our undisputed No1 with only Okazaki being adept enough to play behind him. We need to be shipping strikers out not bringing more in and especially if they can't play behind Vardy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get rid of Musa, Slimani, Iheanacho amd Ulloa and spend £40-£50m on a striker who could dislodge Vardy as top dog. Then spend the same on someone who can fulfill the Okazaki role. Add a RB and CB for £20m each and that would be a satisfactory window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry S Posted 31 December 2017 Share Posted 31 December 2017 we definitely need a younger target man. Everton are in talks with cenk tosun that sort of player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry S Posted 31 December 2017 Share Posted 31 December 2017 With the money leicester have available we SHOULD really be able to splash on a decent right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes people think we have so much money? Nothing special going on this season other than increased TV money. No Champions League, though I suppose we have the CL money from last season. Probably been spent/accounted for already though. Otherwise we’re just another mid table club and won’t have any more resources than any other similar sized outfit. No reason to suppose the owners intend to run the club at a loss, and probably wouldn’t be able to anyway due to FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post katieakita Posted 1 January 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 1 January 2018 (edited) Personally think we should be letting some of our "Fans" go out on loan to Stoke for the rest of the season. See how watching and listening to Hughes week in week out suits them then at the end of the season see if the miserable feckers still want to be here Edited 1 January 2018 by katieakita error in wording 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reynard Posted 2 January 2018 Share Posted 2 January 2018 (edited) With the exception of a new right back it is surely going to be about who we can hang onto and who we want to ship out before we look to bring anyone else in? I would say Mahrez, Ndidi and Maguire may all well be targets for bigger clubs, especially as none are cup tied in relation to the Champions league. We effectively already have one new signing in Silva. If we lose any of the main three then I think we will need to sign new players, otherwise I expect to see more leave than come in. We clearly have too many strikers but they may not be easy to ship out at the prices we would like. We could do with recouping some of the money so badly invested in quite a few players by our recruitment team. There seems little point in either Benalouane or Musa remaining at the club with their current very limited opportunities. Hard to think we spent 20-25 million on the pair. Doubt we will get even half that back. Edited 2 January 2018 by reynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Puel, I could see Leicester no longer needing a second striker or vardy for that matter over time. I could also see Slimani pushing Vardy out the #1 spot if he continues to have performances like yesterday. Vardy is 31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General Smuts Posted 2 January 2018 Share Posted 2 January 2018 Alfie Mawson and Adam Smith would improve our back 4. And if FIFA ratings are anything to go on (I have no idea how realistic it would be) Timo Werner as a future Vardy replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Werner is a full German international playing in a Champions League level club. No way he's coming here. I see him going to Bayern or to one of the top 6 here.

Creative and comfortable on the ball with both feet. He's only not been playing because he's been injured. He's an excellent player and won't need to come to little Leicester. 1 hour ago, General Smuts said: I've never followed the German league so that doesn't surprise me. Shame.

Pulis was interested in Musa for West Brom and I wonder if Gibson has itchy feet now? Middlesbrough are 8th and will probably have to go through the lottery of the play offs if they get promotion this season. Gibson goes from being quite hot property to the forgotten man and he's lost his England place and probably won't go to the World Cup now. Maybe he might want to get back to the PL ASAP?

Chocolate Teapot Posted 2 January 2018 Share Posted 2 January 2018 I doubt Gibson will happen. Dragovic didn't come here to be back up and we still have Huth, Benalouane and Amartey if neccesary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was linked with Man Utd at Dynamo Kiev and ended up joining Bayer Leverkusen. He obviously has failed to impress there and hasn't been able to force his way in the team here. I can't imagine we'll take up the option to buy this summer and we'll be in the market for a centre half sooner rather than later with Huth OOC at the end of the season and Morgan a year older. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeslaFox Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Batshuayi and Luiz been told they can leave. I would take Batshuayi at the right price and sell Ulloa and possibly Musa. Not sure on Luiz yet... dont like him as a person haha Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovejoy Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 Luiz's wages and age are enough to put me off. Quite like him as a player even if he's not everyone's cup of tea. Batshuayi I'm not sure on. Chelsea fans I know think he's straight up crap, and he wouldn't replace Vardy, so can't see it personally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeslaFox Posted 3 January 2018 Share Posted 3 January 2018 from what ive seen of Batshuayi, i think hes quite good.. not many players could out Vardy atm but if we were to offload the 2 i mentioned he would make a fitting replacement, especially at 24. Agreed on Luiz though, wages would be ridiculous. I just want us to buy a Chelsea player for revenge. Should have gone in for Mata when we had the chance.
