All these shouts for Wilson. He's not a bad striker, but it's so obvious that people here wouldn't be satisfied with him. It took Bournemouth years to figure out how to get him to score consistently. Now that he's finally in form and challenging for Europe I highly, highly doubt he's going to move from a slightly smaller club in better form to us.

 

You speak far too much sense.

 

No player is given time by the FTers to settle in, god help them if they're young.

 

Of course Wilson would have no interest in a move to us. It'd be a BIG club or no move at all.

 

And as for signing half of the players named on here. They won't come! These players want European football. It's top 6 or nothing.

Wow. People really think we can’t tempt a player away from a club like Bournemouth. Do me a favour. Wilson would love to play for Leicester. Christ almighty 

We couldn't even tempt Troy Deeney away from Watford with champions league football and a title in the bag.

Bournemouth look just as likely to get European football as us, so we can't use that as a bargaining chip. He's the main man there, but would have to compete with Vardy if he came here.

 

Pretty much the only thing we have in our favour is that we could outclass them on wages. HOWEVER, if he has his eye on a top-6 club side, then staying at Bournemouth would be much better for him in the long run. If he stays on his current contract, then it'll be easy for him and the clubs to negotiate a deal to move to - say - Tottenham. If he comes here on a longer contract/higher wages, however, then we will be able to hold onto him despite pressure from the top clubs - as we did with Mahrez and Maguire - and he'll be stuck with us, regardless of wether or not we get European football.

Of course that's our goal. But right now there are a host of clubs all vying for the same spot (including one of the richest clubs in the world - Manchester United), so that isn't something we can guarantee.

 

A sideways step tying himself down into a longer/bigger contract would be a very big gamble for Wilson.

You can set any goal you want, quite simply we do not spend the money for that to be a realistic thing. Who do you think we are going to finish above regularly for that to happen. Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Man U or Chelsea?

 

The only way that's ever going to be possible is to build gradually. Which is exactly what we are trying to do with the training ground and ground expansion.

 

This could be a two decade project if not more unless they decide to spend the money. Even then, without the cash it's still unlikely.

 

Best we can hope for is a total implosion at Spurs when Poch leaves.

...should Vardy leave (hope not)., we could go to a 4-3-3 formation.

 

We could set up like this, with a little addition to the squad:

 

                       Kasper

 

Clyne  Benkovic  Maguire   Chilwell

 

    Ndidi   Loftus-Cheeks   Mendy

 

Neres      Maddison         Ricardo

 

  I feel the current squad are not good enough to play Puel style football, which in itself  defies why he persists with the current formation.

Loftus-Cheek will never join Leicester, plus Ricardo is a good attacker but never a LW (considering he is a right back(

Ah yeah the solution to us missing and not creating enough chances is to play with five defenders on the pitch, two defensive midfielders, one winger and an attacking midfielder upfront lol
