siraaj_lcfc Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 I reckon Championship will be a happy hunting ground this year. Lots of good young players, like Abraham, Adams Etc. Definitely don't want us to go towards Serie A. Our record there is dreadful. La Liga and Bundesliga would cough up some promising players.

shailen Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 Do we have a chance with Giroud. He would give us such a different dimension and is a quality player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 Solanke is a loan target for palace. I doubt they would be publicly confirming this unless the deal was pretty much done shame - would have done ok here but he will get starts there v coming off the bench here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 30 December 2018 Share Posted 30 December 2018 (edited) We need some wide options. Attacking versatility. We should’ve looked at Richarlson or Anderson with the Mahrez money. Edited 30 December 2018 by ronnup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about this, the more I think this is worth a go. He's shown flashes of brilliance in England (mainly under Puel) and was always a great option at Napoli. A loan deal would be ideal.

We've clearly got a good scouting network considering our successes ( Vardy, Mahrez, Kante). Do what you do best, right? I think some scouting in France or maybe Portugal can uncover some gems. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les-tah Posted 31 December 2018 Share Posted 31 December 2018 (edited) In my opinion we are 2 players away (in the starting 11) from cementing 7th and pulling away from the rest. A centre Mid to play with Ndidi or Mendy as they are too defensive and similar.. This is the type of player we were all expecting Adrien Silva to be, a very talented box to box player that dictates tempo and can pick a pass and is very forward thinking. The other is the hole that was left when mahrez left, a very talented proven attacking midfielder that is very capable of the 10 goals/10 assist that he gave us for the last 3 years. Obviously we need a striker sooner or later but i think we could hold out until summer as the other 2 positions are more important right now.
