Tanya Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 A lot of speculation Praet is a bench role, which seems exorbitant since we don't have European football but I trust the club knows what it is doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve never had so many technical players at one time. Madders, Perez, Youri +1 could be something special. We are very keen and have the finances covered. I hear he is also keen. Expect movement soon. So if we get Praet then surely we won't be getting Mcgregor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drifts inside leaving an absolutely massive amount of pitch just completely wasted. In a 343 I think this would be fine as Chilwell would occupy that space but with four at the back it leaves us very vulnerable when Chilwell bombs up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be told “run in a straight line as fast as you can and then cross. If you can’t cross shoot.” And that’s what he did. The end product was often poor, but almost 40 goals and over 30 assists shows his worth. Admittedly this was at a different time and different level. Gray doesn’t have a football brain....but thinks that he has. Many have tried to get him to be direct as he was when he was a kid, but he just doesn’t seem to be able to. There are others already in our league who can and would be a better fit in our team. Nailed it, and I got more excited watching Lloyd dyer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 So much flexibity, obviously bringing Ndidi, Choudury, Barnes, Gray, Ghezzal, etc in as the situation requires 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they're all 25 or under (at least, until Perez' birthday next week). Hopefully it doesn't affect the development of Barnes/Choudhury too much, as they look like real prospects and it'd be a shame if they stagnated because of a lack of minutes. And that's not to mention the other squad players (who might struggle to make the bench!) in Albrighton, Mendy, Gray, Ghezzal, Silva and Diabaté. We've got so much depth in midfield now - a far cry from the last few seasons where the likes of King and James, even Gary Taylor-Fletcher have played there against Chelsea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywood_6 Posted 24 July 2019 Share Posted 24 July 2019 Gray has got the skill but makes too many wrong decisions. Harvey has shown promise but leaves his shooting boots at home too often We need a quality winger for top 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don`t imagine we are buying for the sake of it, but to close the pathway from the u21's to the first team is a dangerous precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t say it’s vital. Marc and Harvey can do it for us. It would be nice as I’ve never been convinced by Gray myself. I also think Maddison will play wide and Perez in behind Vardy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a top class winger would be a great push into the upper echelons but I worry that it could inhibit Harvey and Demarai’s progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison moving out left, Rodgers seems to like the left sided player cutting in. That is a very exciting line up, if it works we could really surprise a lot of people this season.

Maybe but it's still a risk if he doesn't start taking his chances more often in the prem. Top players will almost always make themselves undroppable sooner or later so there's nothing wrong with competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
