lcfc sheff Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 1 minute ago, RoyFox said: He's rapid and very direct too, plus he constantly looks for a better placed attacker on breaks. I however fear Watford would demand a fee exceeding £50m, they certainly aren't push overs after our attempts of gaining Deeney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AS78UK Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 This will be the hardest player from our premier league winning team to replace. Ziyech or Ben Afra for me, and even then not sure either will fill the gap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Quincy Promes. Available, for £30 million. Adds quality. Only fear is our last signing from a Russian club was a real disapointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blanchflower78 Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 If he's sold you'd imagine the fee will at least start with '6' and Ben Arfa will come in on loan most probably. Short term option to see if he'd fit and a direct position replacement. No throwing money at anybody with an hour to spare - won't happen and rightly so.

And hi with an extra spot available in Europe there’s a lot to play for, with massive financial rewards if we can manage to qualify. Makes sense to bring some quality in. granted the new lad could well be the replacement, but we haven’t seen him against quality opposition so it’s hard to judge. Mate in which world do you live? Who do you think will come if he goes with 24 hours left? Proven match winners don't grow on trees nor they come to us.

irishfoxkev Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Snodgrass from Villa...just seen his 90th minute winner for Villa at Sheffield Utd...truly a Mahrezesque goal. Cut in from rigHt wing and curled a super left footer into the corner of the net...??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play as a number 10, and with the options we have for wingers, along with Puel's system I'm not so sure we necessarily have to buy a like for like replacement. The lad definitely has talent, has Champions League experience, and clearly has a bright future ahead. He's also at a good age to develop in line with our current crop of emerging youngsters. Furthermore, he'd be an attainable target who would cost significantly less than any fee we receive from Mahrez so would be decent value for money in today's market. Certainly not the finished article by any stretch but realistically we're not going to be able to recruit a player of Riyad's ability no matter how much we spend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s11nny Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 Zaha. No other player mentioned on here that tops his form. No chance rudkin would be able to pull that off though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxes21 Posted 30 January 2018 Share Posted 30 January 2018 (edited) Zaha has 4 goals and 2 assists this season. That is quite frankly bang average. Albrighton has 2 goals and 6 assists and he’s basically a full back ffs. Edited 30 January 2018 by foxes21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
