AKCJ Posted 6 September 2020 Share Posted 6 September 2020 We should be looking at much better than McGregor. Sooner we played Dewsbury-Hall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 6 September 2020 Share Posted 6 September 2020 11 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: If it is true then I despair. McGregor is a classy player but a central midfielder is so far down the pecking order it's unbelievable. Trouble is if Praet is unhappy at lack of first team games and wants out, we’d be foolish not to replace him... if it’s like for like and finances are NOT being diverted from other targets then it’s a fair move all round.

Foxes96 Posted 6 September 2020 Share Posted 6 September 2020 Already got: CDM - Ndidi/ Mendy/ Hamza CM - Tielemans/ Praet/ KDH/ (James lol) CAM - Maddison/ Perez Probably the position that’s our least priority after RB . As others have said much rather the money go to a RW and CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the same at Celtic, we needed a RB and a CB desperately for a few windows and we just signed more midfielders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We play two no.8s in a 4-3-3, Perez can't play that position. Dewsbury-Hall is not ready. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attacking mid, defensive mid, Left or right back. Sure to be a utility player for us to fill in and start when we need it. I've seen McGregor put in some incredible displays in the Champions League but now he'll have to do it every match with no downtime. A big step up. He's 27 so there will be little resale but he's the type of player we need for the amount of matches we have this season. Feels like we're trying to find players to cover multiple positions.

I don’t want Praet to go but i think a bit more of a spark in the middle of the park is needed should he want to go.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 6 September 2020 Share Posted 6 September 2020 14 minutes ago, jeffschlupp said: Disagree, we'll start the season without any senior cover no.8 players given Maddison is injured. KDH isn't ready yet I wouldn't think, I would definitely take McGregor if we are sticking to 4-3-3. But as soon as Maddison is fit, there is no way of keeping all 4 creative midfielders happy. Worry about that luxury when we've sorted out the left centre half area, out wide and possibly up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played more minutes than any player in world football for a couple of seasons, regularly plays 60+ games a season. He’ll get more downtime playing with Leicester in that regard. He’s left footed also, has never played nor could play RB in his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be seriously worried if the plan is to sign McGregor to play left back, he can do so half competently in Scotland but the EPL is a different ball game.

Worry about that luxury when we've sorted out the left centre half area, out wide and possibly up front. We manage to keep four CBs, four wingers, four full-backs happy. It's two players per position if you want to compete on four fronts. For me it's the third most important area behind the CB and RW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
