MC Prussian Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 (edited) 31 in November, hardly an upgrade on what we have in defensive midfield. I think Iborra's the more subtle, more elegant player and Ndidi a great talent. And the prospect of Fellaini in a Leicester shirt. Enough of that CDM talk, how about some central midfielders or attacking midfielders for a change? Edited 22 April 2018 by MC Prussian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazly Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 I thought it was defenders we need. This year, last year and the year before. Board seems fixated on stuffing as many strikers and attaching players in as possible but leaves out how to get the ball up to them closer than 30 years from the oppo goal.

Guest Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 I must admit I quite like him. He is underused at Manure but always comes on a does a good job whether that is defensively or as a dangerous attacking threat in the box. Would be nice to get back to being a dominant team in the air considering how many balls into the box we deliver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumbleFox Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 (edited) He's a funny one. Not quite sure what his best position is, not quite sure what he is good at but on occasions I have seen him be absolutely unplayable. Just before he left Everton he was one of the best in the league at what he did I thought and then never really quite settled at Utd. I wouldn't say he was top of my list and I wouldn't be too bothered if we don't go for him but if he did end up here I would certainly be very intrigued to see what he could do.

I actually think he would do well at liverpool and would say his addition could push them to the league title (of course if they dont lose any players and man city doesnt spend another 200 million.....wait who am i kidding).

Guest Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 Think he could be decent alongside Ndidi. Real presence which we often don't have in midfield. Better than Iborra. Don't think we'd get overrun as we have against teams like Palace and Watford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every time I’ve seen Shelvey play on tv he’s been outstanding. I’d love us to sign him, not bothered about his supposed attitude/temperament. It what he does on the pitch that matters most.

The_77 Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 We need to seriously look at midfield options. Morouane might not be the most exciting option out there but he can be effective, he does whatever he’s asked, and adds a bit nastiness that other have mentioned we’re lacking. I don’t think Iborra is mobile enough to bear a lot of responsibility in our setup. The big man with the big ‘fro might be worth a shout for a season or two on a free. Might be be a bit awkward if Huth is still around, though. ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beechey Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 He'll be turning 31 not too long after the season starts, absolutely a no from me. He'll want a decently long contract on big money and at 31, he'll just be too old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee7 Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 Imagine Vardy and Fellaini upfront. The oppositions defence would be sh*tting themselves when they're getting nailed by Vardy and receiving elbows galore from Fellaini The way we play at the minute with putting so many crosses into the box having Fellaini would be a massive boost. Also I don't think there's anyone out there better at holding a ball up than he is. He just gives you a completely different option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lcfc sheff Posted 22 April 2018 Share Posted 22 April 2018 I'd argue we need some sort of target man further up the pitch, whether it comes in the form of a centre mid, centre forward or even a winger, it's something we're definitely lacking. i'd have thought Iborra could do something similar but Puel doesn't seem to want him just behind the striker, in my eyes Fellaini is definitely Mobile enough for the job... There's definitely legs in any rumours of some sort of target man kinda player, whether it's fellaini or not we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolhandfox Posted 23 April 2018 Share Posted 23 April 2018 (edited) No 10 behind Vardy, the amount of crosses we send in each game he would be a handful. Teams would want to play a higher line, to negate the Aerial threat, leaving Vardy more space in behind.
