CosbehFox Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) It’s a question for six weeks time. However I’m fairly certain any player brought in will be with an eye on the following; taking advantage of a contractual situation or bed them in ready for next season. Would say I’d be very surprised if you’d sign a player who would be in European competition with his club past January. Take someone like Haaland, he’d stay with Salzburg and have a go at the Europa Edited 27 October 2019 by Cardiff_Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49er Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 We will hopefully be fighting for a top four finish so we need a player or players who can make an instant. Just imagine if we could tempt Riyad back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 Get a striker in. It still seriously worries me how reliant we can be on Vardy - if he gets injured it's a huge miss given how good he is. We're covered quite well in all other positions, especially midfield now we've seen that Praet can be quite comfortable at this level and Choudhury will no doubt keep Ndidi on his toes. I wonder if we'll be in the market for a left-back as we can't rely on Fuchs forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
car1os Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) Thing is, I don’t think we need a winger as such, but a versatile Forward who can play wide and centrally if needed. Albrighton is too much of a standard Winger, whereas Barnes and Perez fit the mould of versatile Forward. Gray is just, well, Gray. So, another forward is needed in January. Bringing in a versatile player makes it easier to “replace” Vardy if needed as they may still get game time when Vardy is fit I think we’ve got enough cover at CB for this season but need to get someone else in for Morgan in the summer. I’ll be interested to see how some of our loanees get on this season as, if they do well (for example Luke Thomas) it might help us fill the squad without having to buy players Edited 27 October 2019 by car1os Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Europa League with Salzburg would be a huge scalp. In the same way a Championship club winning the League Cup would be a huge achievement.

Always seems to get on the end of crosses I’d love him here. BUT... i’d actually say his attitude is the worst thing about him. one of the best strikers of the last 20 years but a complete melt. He’s just said that no one will even remember MLS when he’s left and you might think he’s right, but he’s still got to play half a season with players he’s basically just called nobodies and forgettable.

Cant imagine he’s get on well with Vardy. I see him as a Cambiasso- type of signing. As regards Vardy, I think that they could get on well. Both have a degree of cockiness and a bit of a nasty side.

Blue ROI Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 Another striker above all else. As long as Vardy's on song fine but any injury/suspension hits us hard. We need to be ready without Vardy down the road in any case. A winger would also be good but if Perez can build on Friday then it's less of a concern. There is a good spread of goals across the midfield. It's not like when we had Mahrez and only he was scoring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treer Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) I would sign Chris Kavanagh, if we had signed him in the summer we would be 6 points nearer Liverpool He is the biggest homer big team ref you will ever come across.

Gerard Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) I'm hoping we don't "need" anyone. I see Benkovic played 90 mins for the U23's on Friday and after his rave reviews at Celtic I'm hoping he gets fit enough to put some pressure on Evans and Soyuncu whilst solidifying the 3rd best CB that Morgan currently holds. The one area that we could possibly improve is a wide attacking forward but Barnes is on an upwards curve and Perez showed in the last game that he can actually play and be a proper goal threat so we're not too reliant on Vardy. Hopefully Perez will be that 10 goal, 10 assists man per season. The rest of the team can barely be improved on for a club like ours. Although I'm never averse to bringing in top young talent at any point. Edited 27 October 2019 by Gerard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les-tah Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 (edited) A winger is the only player that gets in our 11 right now. Yes we won 9-0 but still far to inconsistent out wide. I also wouldn’t risk bringing in more than 1 as that could upset the apple cart and the team morale looks great at the moment. Draxler looks to be on his way out of PSG this January so they can bring in players so I’d love a signing like that!

I believe that’s when Morgan is retiring/ leaving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 27 October 2019 Share Posted 27 October 2019 I don't think we need anything currently. But we need succession plans for the inevitable departures next summer. Replacements for Fuchs/Morgan. Plus the fact that our bright young things will be in much demand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aus Fox Posted 27 October 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 27 October 2019 If come January we are still in the top 4 and Manchester United are still in that 7-12 position. I would love us to put a bid in for one of their players, make it publicly known and get everyone on here to ring in every radio station phone in and question the players ambition if he doesn’t join. We don’t have to actually sign them, but it’d be nice to throw our cock around a little, maybe slap it in Solskjaers face a couple of times. Most of all though show our intentions to the rest of the Premier League, we are not going to roll over for you, we are here to stay and compete! 9 4 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
