He seems like the natural Mahrez replacement and for the price we got Perez and Ghezzal for..... Ziyech was very specific about the kind of club he wanted to go to. Said Sevilla who had CL was a sideways move. Doubt he would have been keen to come here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what has transpired to reduce his value but perhaps the ability to sell on after the end of a five year contract might be an issue.

Its already agreed for next season ..Chelsea are amassing a young and exciting team with the balance of experience!!!! To think we were worried that we would not be able to afford him in regards to his transfer fee and wages. He was never going to come here whatever the fee and we are losing out to the historical big teams. Not sure Rodgers is going to provide the out and out winger we are all crying out for and the template of a versatile attacking midfielder is the direction he has taken and Perez will continue to occupy the right side of our attacking three. We need that added spark in the team and it is pretty clear to see, Barnes improvement will be something we need, to overcome the lack of potency when Vardy is not getting the chances.

Dan LCFC Posted 27 May 2020 Share Posted 27 May 2020 I always felt our Mahrez replacement was Maddison - obviously they don't play in the same position but I mean as the creativity in this side shifted to the midfield from out wide. It's true though however we haven't gotten close to replacing Mahrez in his actual position since he went. Ghezzal was out of his depth, Diabate wasn't good enough and Perez, I don't know, he just isn't anything like him, I see Perez as more stylistically like Okazaki than Mahrez and yet we play him wide. It's a pointless argument really. Mahrez isn't coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only hope he doesn't prove the answer that Chelsea need, because if he is that makes things harder for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this also but as soon as EPL clubs come calling the price inflates, that's the nature of the beast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justfoxes Posted 31 May 2020 Share Posted 31 May 2020 Poach Harry Kane from the spuds I’m sure he’ll love to come to a great club with Ambition rather than stay at a club that always seems to bottle it year in year out 3rd in a two horse race comes to mind !

ALC Fox Posted 31 May 2020 Share Posted 31 May 2020 I know they've been mentioned before but Pléa and Thuram at Mönchengladbach both look really good. Either of those two would be a hell of a signing. They combined for a tidy little goal a few minutes ago against Union Berlin as well. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look an excellent partnership. Pléa would be a great foil for Vardy, and Thuram out wide would be very welcome - strong, quick, skilful and an eye for a finish. Exactly what we need. I very much doubt they'd be sold this summer though. Seem to be building their team around them. Edited 31 May 2020 by CloudFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next season I'd like to see us saving Vardy for the big games, but also experiment with Iheanacho as a number 9 or Perez as a false 9 and then have Barnes or Djenepo/Thuram/A.N. Other in the wide positions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch Posted 31 May 2020 Share Posted 31 May 2020 28 minutes ago, pmcla26 said: I could understand a fee around £15 million, but when you consider we paid £19 million for Soyuncu, we’d be silly to pay that sort of money. I agree with what you say tho, if we get top 4 teams abroad will want us to pay inflated fees even more so. It's always a dangerous road to go down when you start comparing transfer fees. Man City paid how much for Stones, £40m or something and we paid £3m for Evan's...... There is no rhyme or reason to it sometimes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackirius Posted 1 June 2020 Share Posted 1 June 2020 I know he has been mentioned a few times before, but Emi Buendia from Norwich would be a really good bit of business for us I believe. Been at quite a lot of Norwich games over the last few seasons and he is a class above the rest (even Cantwell) when on the ball. If (when) they go down we would hopefully be able to get at a decent price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is very good to watch though and someone of Rodgers capabilities as a coach may well add goals to his game. I think Cantwell would suit us better as he is more of a versatile forward.

He would be a much better fit than Perez to play wide right for us in our 4-1-4-1 formation. The “right winger” in that formation isn’t really a winger because we want to give Pereira time and space to wreak havoc down the right. It is an inside forward role on that side which requires a number 10/winger hybrid but it doesn’t really suit Perez to play it. I personally think shifting Barnes from the left to the right and getting a new winger to play with Chilwell on the left hand side would be a better idea moving forwards.
