Nicolo Barella Posted 11 July 2019 Share Posted 11 July 2019 I've come around actually. I'm worried about Barnes' development if we sign a top winger, but if it's the right guy, he could make all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wholeheartedly agree, if £60m hinges on Maguire going then it simply has to happen. Nicholas Pepe amongst our midfield and attack would see us right up there with one of the strongest in the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The People's Hero Posted 11 July 2019 Share Posted 11 July 2019 I didnt, but only because someone was randomly raving about him a week or so ago. Not even a Norwich fan. Good stats last year. Lets see how he adapts to PL life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said I'll be looking out for him this year after seeing that YT show. Same production company as the Jarrod Bowen one? 28 days left until Christmas.

Possibly but I still maintain that for us to embark on upsetting the top 6 it'll be from the goals scored and not conceded that gives us even a remote chance. Losing Maguire and replacing him with Benkovic, Soyuncu or even going out and getting another defender wouldn't see us suddenly concede many more goals than say the last 2 seasons where we are nothing special when it comes to defending. Our talents and style of play suit playing on the front foot and not trying to pinch 1-0 wins. Rodgers has never done that style of football well, he barely ever attempts it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted 11 July 2019 Share Posted 11 July 2019 Well the Mercury still saying we are after a winger and one more signing.... Not sure if that's actual news that BR wants two additions or simply that he said he wanted five signings and we've signed three already! https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/whats-next-leicester-city-transfer-3073772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we could do with another top attaching player. I just think this isn’t the season to have to blood somebody through in a crucial position. I do hope Benkovic or Soyoncu find their feet quickly if need be. I do think they both are very capable too. It’s a coin flip either way, let’s hope the choice we make (or end up taking) is the right one. Lots to look forward to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have had a similar impact on your team last season as Maddison did the year before, albeit marginally less prolific than Maddison was. Obviously I haven't seen anywhere near as much of Buendia as you will have so what makes you say that? It's surely not just because one's still at your club and the other isnt?

Midlands yellow Posted 11 July 2019 Share Posted 11 July 2019 Maddison is held in very high regards at Norwich as you will see in December. Buendia trumps him though on all aspects other then direct free kicks from distance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric, you and others keep saying this, and miss half the point. What about the impact on our transition to attack? Quality in moving the ball from the back into attack adds goals and reduces GA. Losing Maguire will reduce our ability to do it, especially against pressing teams. He is easily among the best in Europe at both winning dribbles and completing long passes. No other CB in the major European leagues wields both those weapons to Harry’s degree. His pure defending is not what sets his ₤₤ value among the elite. I’m not saying that fact swings the argument (I said two months ago, sell at Van Dijk money or better). But I’m tired of seeing it ignored (on the Manc forums as well as here). This idea of losing Maguire as all but painless needs to go. Edited 11 July 2019 by KingsX 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
