Max Power Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 I think I probably would. Just don’t see us getting a better player than him and it’s such a key position. We need another wide player but every chance Barnes kicks on and we can reassess in Jan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus Congerton is in charge of our signings now so better off not risking new players for a while. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alf Bentley Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 I'd settle for Tielemans & a decent back-up striker and nowt else. I'd even settle for that and Maguire leaving (not that I want him to go). Though it would be nice to bring in a top winger or a back-up right back, we could live without them. With the current squad, Tielemans & a back-up to Vardy, we'd have a pretty competitive squad.

murphy Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 If the alternative was to spend the equivalent (£40m) on three or four £10m squad fillers I would definitely take Tielemans and be very happy with that. Quality over quantity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 We will I think get YT and nobody will leave and we'll buy a winger and get some cover for the RB position. I also expect us to try and sign another attacking, young squad central midfielder and a forward and I expect Christmas to be moved to somewhere mid November.

Tuna Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 We don't need much but we need 2 or 3 quality players including Tielemans. We need players better than we already have, the squad is already good enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Vardy copped an injury in the first match, the lack of a back-up striker might suddenly seem very important. I wonder who we'd play as striker? It's tantamount to torture to start Iheanacho from the apparent state of his confidence - and can't imagine it working. Who else? Gray hasn't impressed when he's played out of position as striker. We need Maddison in midfield. There seem to be problems with Slimani if he comes back. Shinji has gone and was past it, anyway. For me, a top winger would be the icing....but another decent striker is part of the cake....unless Brendan somehow works miracles with Iheanacho during the break. Just opinions, anyway...

Just opinions, anyway... if Vardy comes a cropper then whoever we get in will be inferior by a couple of levels, Iheanacho may still end up being the better player even if we got someone else in. If BR is happy not to replace Iheanacho then I'll back his judgement. I'd much rather get in a top class winger to improve the first XI than worry about the "what if's" if Vardy gets a bad injury early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North Leeds Fox Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 To improve our first 11, we require somebody in the 'youri' role and a goalscoring winger. To become a better squad, we need a back up forward and another midfielder on top of that. To answer the topic question, if we could only get youri, then you would have to take it as he makes us so much better and cross our fingers that injuries are kind. Loads of time left though so would think we will get 3/4 in and a few out. Think it's going to be an almighty panic for a few clubs with the transfer window closing before start of season, hopefully we get our business sorted sooner as Rodgers with them for a full pre-season will only benefit us.

yorkie1999 Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 I think we're a youri tielemens and a second striker away from being a quality side, so i'd take doing a spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If BR is happy not to replace Iheanacho then I'll back his judgement. I'd much rather get in a top class winger to improve the first XI than worry about the "what if's" if Vardy gets a bad injury early on. Likewise, I'll back his judgment whatever he does in whatever team position. Not much choice. Well, I might end up moaning if his decisions leave us bottom of the table, but can't see that happening. Of course, I'd like to see us upgrade on the wings (though I hope that Barnes & Albrighton remain involved....not so sure about Gray - still less Ghezzal or Diabate). I suppose that I just think that we'd cope OK with the existing wingers, but would immediately be in trouble if we lost Vardy.... I hope that I'm wrong. I'd like nothing better than for Iheanacho to come out and prove himself. I wonder if BR might want to rest Vardy a bit more next season? He still looks very fit, but he's 32 now, so no spring chicken for a speedy striker. It's not only if he gets injured, it's player management & having a decent attacking sub to bring on if Vardy's knackered or having a bad game or we need to go more attacking to chase a game.... Anyway, all just opinions - and less well-informed opinions than Brendan's. Let's hope we get Tielemans and a top winger and a back-up striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickyblueeyes Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 I don’t think it would work for Tielemans if no further additions are forthcoming for a side who finished 9th last year. He has apparent interest from bigger clubs, to sell the project to him and to the other key players, the side must show ambition or we will simply be under pressure (not financially but from players wanting bigger moves) next summer.

The 2nd striker though doesn't really effect the team unless Vardy is injured or out of form, but what does effect the current team is a lack of goals and assists from out wide. If Vardy and Tielemans had the seasons they had last year for us again then add a winger in who scores and assists 20 goals and top 6 is within reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevosevic Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 Tielemans, a winger better than our current options and a striker please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban.spaceman Posted 12 June 2019 Share Posted 12 June 2019 Facetiousness aside, I honestly don’t think our wider squad is good enough just yet. The first XI needs Tielemans or a player of his calibre; a high quality winger to replicate Mahrez’s creativity, and a backup striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
