STUHILL Posted 11 December 2018 Share Posted 11 December 2018 I was against this back in the Summer, as I genuinely thought Silva would be a step-up in quality. That obviously hasn't happened and I don't see it happening now either. We really need a dynamic CM with a bit of everything, and Drinkwater was that for us before. Question is, can he rediscover that and is he good enough in our new Puel system? Also, how motivated would he be coming back to the club he left for bigger and better things, having failed...? Add that to his injury record and what sitting on his arse for 18 months may have done for his confidence... and there are just too many question marks for this to make sense on paper. I think there are better options out there, but I could be swayed to take a punt if it was a loan deal with Chelski contributing to his wages. If he comes straight back in with a genuine hunger/desire to revive his career, then he could be just the player we need for 6 months. Otherwise - we send him back and just live with the memories of him once being great for us! I'd prefer we target CM's with more culture and creative flair, but Drinkwater shouldn't be completely ruled out as a 6 month loan option. At 28, there is still a good player in there, but I agree with other people's doubts and so a short-term loan i.e trial, should be the only genuine option for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 11 December 2018 Share Posted 11 December 2018 He's not going to be match fit due to his lack of games so will likely come back worse. He moved on, so should we. We are in desperate need of goals in the side since Mahrez left i'd prefer we focused on that. 2 goal scoring wingers and another option up top. We have other priorities.

Well considering Drinkwater was one of the most well-liked members of the dressing room - which is famously close-knit - I’d suggest you’re very wrong in this instance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesWelshFox Posted 11 December 2018 Share Posted 11 December 2018 Still think there might be a role for him here, would take him back but would he come especially as we couldn't guarantee him he would be in the starting 11 ? If he came with the right mindset though I think he could earn that place. I'd take a chance on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB87_LCFC Posted 14 December 2018 Share Posted 14 December 2018 I cannot see a return here being an option for Drinky imo, I seem to recall he refused to train because we wouldn't sell him to Chelsea, which if memory serves me right meant we made a last ditch move for Adrien Silva and were without a CM until the following January (all for 14-15 seconds or whatever it was). I think if he is making a move in January he'll more than likely link up with Claudio at Fulham. I think the Sky Sports link to a return is idle journalism. Great servant to the club when his heart was in it, but I cant see a return being a positive move for either him or the club. I agree with a lot of people we need a ball player in the midfield to be that connection to the final third. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzie the Fox Posted 14 December 2018 Share Posted 14 December 2018 Not sure its a good message the club would be giving out, if they were to take him back.

Also the shining example of how the grass isn't always greener. Had he stayed at Leicester would he have got more England calls? He certainly would have at least played. Must be questions over his fitness. Shame was a very decent player for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are plenty of examples of things like this happening. With Puel in charge I do think it’s unlikely unless Drinky takes a pay cut and financially it works for us.

Wymsey Posted 15 December 2018 Share Posted 15 December 2018 (edited) What a waste of a year that he has had. Could've easily requested a loan etc, if he was really desperate to play more first-team football elsewhere. Hence, his stock has fallen due to his lack of insight of whether to go to Chelsea or not.
