Simonb Posted 4 January 2020 Share Posted 4 January 2020 Only areas I'd be hoping we'd tie up would be cb and another winger... I like the look of ziyech, if that's realistic I'd like us to buy him Cb.. Not sure whose properly avaliable so a loan from outside the PL would be the best bet.. Demiral or Ajer for me, with the option to buy. Don't see the point in a Bowen type as cover, come the end of the season we'll probably buy better than him and just have another salary to pay. Hopefully vardy and iheanacho will stay fit so we're OK up top. I'd imagine we'll sign a couple for the U23s, and if we could sign a Cantwell type and loan back to their club until the summer might be an investment I'd imagine the club have major plans for the summer already with the maguire money, and it's just a point of waiting to see if we make the CL or not before going BIG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps they thought it was worth it to have him lying for them. What's the actual outlay ? Less than replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's available for 35m, half of Europe will be after him.. United and man City should be all over that.. Both need a forward.. United don't have one and citehs are always injured. Would like him here.. But with the calibre usually comes an ego.. And we don't want to disrupt the morale we appear to have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Luke Matheson for Rochdale seems very talented. Only 17 & already playing at a decent level in League one just like James Justin. The burst of pace from RB to get the assist against Newcastle was Ricardo esque. Also scored against Man Utd in the league cup. One for the future.

Chocolate Teapot Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 (edited) Paco Alacer wants to leave Dortmund after the signing of Haaland. He'd be very decent, can play wide or up front and would compliment Vardy nicely. Edited 5 January 2020 by Abrasive fox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be good as an alternative to Vardy in the current system, staying central, beating the last man, getting free in the box and finishing the chances others create. But he's pretty technically limited for a Spanish forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkingfox Posted 5 January 2020 Share Posted 5 January 2020 Should we be looking at Max Aarons (Norwich) and Ollie Watkins (Brentford), maybe Aleksandar Mitrovic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really enjoyed watching him yesterday, can’t say I’m an expert on all things rochdale but based on the few times I’ve watched him I’ve no idea why he didn’t start. Started to actually pass the ball and build some pressure when he came on partly because he was always an option. Nice and composed too. Can’t believe he’s 17.

It will be interesting to see if one of the U23's CBs makes the bench on Wednesday. I remember seeing Darnell Johnson in a pre-season friendly. Presumably Caglar knows him from playing in the U23s for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
