Everything seems to point that way.... No serious links to wingers, attacking fullbacks, Gray talking about playing through the middle, Kaputska playing CM at the weekend, the amount of CM's we have AND Puel is known to use it. Make a sense to me. Except we've signed and will play an attacking fullback and we didn't have any wingers available to play at the weekend.

Stadt Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Amongst Vardy, Leo, Slimani and Kelechi we can't give enough game time to a striker, he's also a crock. Too risky a move but I do rate him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychonaut Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 I’d love Ings here, thought he was 30 odd but only just turned 26. I guess no point in it though as we’re stacked out with strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walshie is God Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Stacked out with bit part strikers. Need to clear out the old and bring in some new. Can't see leo slim or shinji playing a part this season that leaves vards and kelechi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 I can't believe we're even discussing this. Why would we even consider him when we have Slimani and Musa already in the squad. He's a sick note to begin with, and clearly he hasn't convinced Liverpool who already have an even bigger sick note in Stturidge, yet they're prepared to keep him. We need to run away from this one.

ronnup Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 I’d be willing to gamble on Slimani and Musa and Kelechi personally. Sometimes it’s a case of settling in. Maybe they’ll come good. Only need one of them to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a lot of faith in Kelechi, I think he’s going to really grow this season.

gurru991 Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Personally I think he could be a super acquisition but we need to move Slim, Musa & Leo to make space. Possibly Okazaki as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Nacho will grow but I'd argue that Ings is a definite upgrade on anybody else we have in that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunbury Fox Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 If we're being linked with the likes of Ings and Jordan Ayew then one or more of the following are clearly true: 1. The owners are tightening the purse strings because of the forthcoming cost of our new training ground and stadium expansion. 2. Any lustre that we had from winning the league has fully worn off, making it hard to attract more glamourous players. Competitors like West Ham and even Fulham have the advantage of being in London, whereas Everton have more history and are seen to be splashing a lot more cash than us. 3. We are at risk of breaking FFP rules because of the bloated size of our first team squad. I wonder if this will be a problem for lots of middle ranking PL clubs in future. Like us, many such clubs are buying players from lesser foreign leagues where wages and transfer fees are lower. Consequently, if these players fail in the PL, clubs abroad can't afford to buy them back and pay their wages, and other PL clubs don't want them as they've failed, so clubs end up lumbered with a growing number of such players the longer they stay up. By contrast, the big 6 are still able to shift their failures as other PL clubs will take a risk that their cast offs will be good enough for them, and the bigger foreign clubs with money will take the same view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80footgiraffe Posted 24 July 2018 Share Posted 24 July 2018 Warming to this a bit. If Slim and Ulloa go, and we had Okazaki, Vardy, Ings and Iheanacho I'd be pretty happy, and Gray as a back up striker if need be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
