hatasi Posted 17 March 2018 Posted 17 March 2018 We should look at Shaw .. mourinho looks like he doesn't rate him.. for me I would be happy if we get Shaw, Trippier and Loftus-Cheek but sadly there is no player can replace Mahrez' quality.
cropstonfox Posted 17 March 2018 Posted 17 March 2018 Don't worry about suggestions. Our recruitment team have it all in hand 2

Think that midfield pair would give us the base to really push up the league. I want a new rb, rw and lw if mahrez goes. With the wingers I want us to look above our station. Look at players like malcolm or leon Bailey. Out of our league on paper but sometimes the big clubs don't bid despite the noise and an opening might exist to bring them to England. If the big clubs do go in for them at that point we can move for more realistic targets. I just worry that we really need more than just a decent quality winger to have any hope of not dropping 20 points just by losing Mahrez. Leon Bailey is at a similar sized club to our's so he'll probably move on to bigger things or stay where he is. I like the premise of your post though. You hear of players in South America that are linked with Real Madrid or Barcelona continually that never quite get their move. As one of the top 20/25 richest clubs in the world playing in the most high profile league in the world I'm sure we could get almost any player in South America providing they didn't have a better option than us. I'm all for signing the best young players on that continent as even if we only had them for a year or two and sold them on at a profit. The same with buying young players at smaller clubs and inferior leagues on the continent. We were linked with Leon Bailey before he went to Leverkusen but never made a move for him. Signing the best young players in the world that you can would always be my strategy if you couple it with intensive scouting. You're always likely to have as many hits as misses but there's a good chance you can still get your money back with the misses.

The quality of Brazil/Argentina means anyone were likely to be after will have no chance of senior international football to meet work permit criteria. I believe rules are more lenient in la Liga and serie A. Incidentally we could have the same issue signing EU players post-Brexit too

We will be able to sign who we want. We will just have to pay ten times more is all.
Ian Nacho Posted 18 March 2018 Posted 18 March 2018 Would anyone take Shaw? With the possibility of Fuchs leaving for America in the summer, is Chilwell up to the task of being a starter week I week out?

As long as they are decent players, who cares that much what they’re like ? We all love Vardy, as do l, but he gets plenty of abuse and hatred sent his way from opposing fans.

ge12 Posted 20 March 2018 Posted 20 March 2018 Would like to see us try and go for Lewis Dunk at CB, have been impressed with him each time I have watched Brighton, which admittedly hasn't been that often. Seems he has the most number of blocks in the league this season so not afraid to put himself in the way, a bit like Wes in that regard but infinitely better on the ball from what I can remember. Does seem to love an own goal though but think this is a byproduct of him throwing himself in the way of shots, and with Brighton almost guaranteed to stay up they won't want to sell so he wouldn't be cheap. 2

Lascelles is better imo, and we could easily bring him in. 1
lcfc sheff Posted 20 March 2018 Posted 20 March 2018 perhaps we should focus on a no.10 rather than a winger to 'replace' mahrez.

Southgate was probably asked the question by someone who wasn't aware of the ruling and answered it like someone being made aware of someones potential eligibility to play, when it seems he isn't unless the rules change.

I thought if they lived here for 5 years or more is it, that then they become a British citizen which then would surely allow Leon to be eligible. As long as they’re citizens they’re eligible? I could be wrong but I was sure that’s how it worked? i don’t believe Southgate would comment unless he was 100% sure of Leon’s eligibility surely? Edited 20 March 2018 by Bluearmyfox28
kingfox Posted 20 March 2018 Posted 20 March 2018 https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/coach-confirms-leicester-city-interest-1361789 I said we should've signed him way back when he was at Molde.

He hasn't lived here for 5 years and England don't select players on that basis anyway. Southgate just said they are monitoring the situation and that it's with the talent identification department... if he was available for selection, then he'd know about it and wouldn't be so vague.

Yeah would be another decent option, agree that he would probably be easier to bring in. A fairly local lad as well is he not, which may appeal to him if he fancies being back nearer to family/friends.
