I know he's playing League One football, but he clearly knows where the goal is (top scorer in EFL this season) and has been likened to Vardy. He's only 26 and unlike other options he would probably be happy to sit on the bench most weeks, in order to get a PL move. Doncaster wouldn't be overjoyed to lose him, so maybe offer someone on loan as a sweetener. Jesus. This is the straw that broke the camel's back; I finally feel miserable about Leicester. He's 26 and has spent all his time in L1&2 (pretty much). Not like he's slipped through the cracks and risen his way up the leagues. If that's what we're currently aiming at, I look forward to returning to the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKCJ Posted 14 January 2019 Share Posted 14 January 2019 Adam Lallana was mentioned a few pages back. If he can prove his fitness then he'd be a superb signing. Exactly the sort of player we need if we're going to be sticking with a 3 man midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps in the summer though. I think he is a decent player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really had a kick since he's been there and from what I remember was pretty good in the air at Swansea. Premier league ready - loan deal till summer ? View to a buy ?

Analysethis Posted 14 January 2019 Share Posted 14 January 2019 Rubens loftus cheek 3 Defensive midfielders may be decent away day tactics against the big boys but Hamza, Mendy and Ndidi are arguably the least creative midfield in the premier league. I have no stats but Id like to see how many goals and assists they have mustered between them this season. Kasper Ricardo - Evans - Maguire - Chilwell Hamza - Ndidi Loftus Cheek - Maddison - Barnes Vardy Attack attack attack!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does concern me is that we are all crying out for a creative attacking midfielder and the manager is saying he’s happy with his midfield options... Whilst I don’t expect him to be saying in public “I’ve got 25 million to spend can anybody help me?” I am noticing there’s nobody ‘lined up’ so to speak and that I’m wondering if there is even a place for an attacking rather than defensive midfielder playing centrally in a 433 or 4231 in a Puel side.

Dahnsouff Posted 15 January 2019 Share Posted 15 January 2019 (edited) Dear John, Can we have 1 x Oliver Ntcham https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBxzXLPNuGc (Interestingly, according to gossip, Porto are going to bid 14m for him) 1 x Seb Haller https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rF_LiaX8Hz8 (Big lad, good header, scores a decent amount, at Eintract Frankfurt but could be expensive) Cheers Edited 15 January 2019 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of them would be a dream. But the player we buy needs to be a beast. January window will be a tough one for the kind of quality player we need there.

If that's what we're currently aiming at, I look forward to returning to the championship. The context for suggesting Marquis was that, despite us desperately needing another striker, there seems to be an unwillingness to splash out in the January window and there is a perceived difficulty attracting strikers to play second fiddle behind Vardy. Marquis is in a great form, a proven goalscorer (20 goals this season already), and while it would be a gamble (just as Vardy once was) he would be a far less costly gamble than Musa or Slimani. Besides, if there's one thing we should've learned in the last couple of weeks its not to underestimate L1 football, though I fully expect Marquis to be signed to at least a Championship side by the start of next season. I'm not saying he would be my first choice, but I would expect him to pose more of an attacking threat than the strikers we currently have on the bench. Hell, even an in-form non-league striker would probably be more of an attacking threat than Iheanacho at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
