There are only a couple of hundred players in world football who wouldn't entertain a move to LCFC. All I wanted from this window was Tielemans and a top drawer wide player who offered goals and assists. I just think when you've got more or less the whole world to pick a player from then go out and get the best you can and one with as little doubts as possible about him. Last season we could have had Pepe and there will be a few more somewhere like him this season. I'm not being too down on Perez as he got 12 goals last season but I didn't want us bringing in a player who might not be better than what we have already and there is a danger of that. ismaila sarr would’ve been good for 30-40m 21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think BR is seeing him in a role behind Vardy, who can also score a fair few too. In that sense, he is better than what we have, as we don't have a player like that and Iheanacho certainly wasn't last season. He may not be a world beater, but I think with his work rate and ability on the ball, on top of his goal threat, in an attacking set up - he may surprise a few and do really well here. He is just 25 too and played close to 150 Premier League games, so I think that could be very valuable to us. Let's see how he does but if he can get 12 goals in a defensive set-up, he has potential to do that again or even better with us, and then he will look like a really good bit of business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 The confusion over the fee does suggest there's more to it than a straight up £30m deal. I suspect £30m is the release clause and we have agreed to pay that made up of £16m up front and a further £14m in add on's. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we are to sign another winger aswell as Pérez & YT, then BR will look for a more all round midfielder rather than an attacking midfielder. McGregor fits the bill.

FoxinNotts Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 Perez will be used as a versatile option, which BR has been talking about in his interviews. Sometimes on the wing (advanced) but sometimes off the bench to replace Maddison, who sometimes fades, and coming on for Vardy also. Great purchase imo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he was well aware that we needed a more adventurous and technically better player in the middle than Wilf or Mendy. That's true, but he did favour using two DMs, so probably wouldn't have seen a problem initially. Other managers using a different formation would have wanted to address the lack of creative CMs a lot quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine he'll be a winger, mostly, maybe with licence to roam. I think BR favours 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3, so I doubt we'll be using a no.10/CAM/2nd striker much. If we did, then Perez would be taking Maddison's spot as the no.10 and then he'd be playing out wide. i doubt this will happen. With everyone fit, I think Perez will mostly be used out wide.

OntarioFox Posted 3 July 2019 Share Posted 3 July 2019 (edited) Based on a combination of his solid goalscoring record and him, Rondon and Ki collectively pulling our pants down during last season's comfortable home reversal, gerrimin. He was a big part of one of the most impressive away performances I've seen down the KP. 10 minutes ago, Paddy. said: Agreed. I think he may have a similar role to the one that Peak Shinji had. Closing down space, pressurising defenders and making space for Vards. Which is exactly what he did in that performance - while he of course scored the winner, his main role was to pressure our full backs, Shinji-style, while Rondon bullied our centre backs out of the game (as is tradition whenever we face him). I imagine he'll have much the same role for us in doing that legwork. If his workrate is consistently what I saw that day, we're pretty much signing an out-wide Okazaki who is actually better at finding the net.
