I kinda agree from what I've seen - be hard to turn down though! He has amazing feet, great cutting in with his left foot from the right side but weak crossing and defensive abilities.... And yeah that does remind me of Gray a bit!
Gerard Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 I'm always a bit wary of taking young players who are big club rejects. I'm not on about players like Drinkwater who were never give a chance and still have it all to prove but players who are at big clubs and in and around the first team. Maybe Iheanacho has failed here because he felt Leicester were a bit beneath him after being in and around Man City's first team squad and got a lot of game time mainly from the bench. Malcolm could be the same if he came here and be a bit mardy as last year he was a £40m signing for Barcelona and probably thought he was going to be playing alongside Messi and Suarez and winning the top trophies. A year later he finds himself in Leicester in a side hoping to qualify for the Europa League.

Getting an unproven or unknown player like Maddison, Mahrez or Kante would be ideal.
Guest SO1 Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Cengiz Under or Jarrod Bowen. That's the type of attacker we should be after. Direct and to the point. No BS. So tired of watching the newest show ponies paraded around as the next Ronaldo. Dancing around by the corner flag to the newest mechanical voice All glitter and little end product getting chewed up and spit out in the Premier league where there's no space to play. Only speed and reaction beats that. No show ponies
Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Our Starting XI / Best XI (providing we sign Tielemans) picks itself apart from the Wingers. We have to strengthen out wide this summer, as last season Gray, Albrighton, Barnes & Ghezzal contributed 8 league goals & 5 assists between them!

People are obsessed with strenghening the wingers etc. We need a clinical striker if vardy gets injured we may have to resort to maguire playing upfront!

To sit on the bench? Whereas a winger should go straight in to the first eleven, ergo a winger is more important.

Tanner said it's likely we'll look for a wide man who can also come inside if needed and that Rodgers wants to give Iheanacho the chance to be understudy to Vardy... although that might change depending on his attitude pre season. For me a young player like Adams would have been fine to get in as a striker, time on his side and probably willing to play second fiddle for a while having made the step up. But if funds aren't unlimited, then I think a top class winger is ahead of a backup striker. (there are some free options available if we really want one).

Yes, a winger is more important. But even setting that aside, what proven, clinical striker is going to go to a mid-table club to warm the bench? People are asking the impossible.

Have we actually had any solid links with said top class wingers?

Wrong. If Vardy gets a long term injury the striker we bring in to replace him will be a level below no matter who we sign. The stat @Ross 'LCFC' Turner just provided that our wingers between them scored 8 and assisted 5 between them last season is woefully inadequate for a team that may start the the season as outside hope of being CL qualifiers. The upside in the stat of our wingers being so poor in goals and assists last season is if we can get one or possibly two in of sufficient quality it really could be worth maybe another 15-20 pts next season.
FerrisBueller Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Other than Youri, a winger HAS to be the priority this summer. The Goal/Assist return from the current wingers is nowhere near enough. We're lucky we've got Maddison and Ricardo helping out otherwise we'd be fooked.

DerbyshireFox Posted 1 July 2019 Posted 1 July 2019 Arsenal in talks with Brahimi on a free allegedly. Experienced, good goal scoring record. I’d be Surprised if we haven’t at least considered it. I think he’d be great personally, and we’d still have the money to bring in another winger/forward

Arsenal can’t sign defenders for toffee but they know a good forward player. Less of a gamble without a transfer fee
