Leicester_brfox Posted 14 August 2020 Share Posted 14 August 2020 I don’t think we should sign him as his natural position is LM and we would probably play him at RW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see him surpassing his goal/assist tally from last season, if we play him centrally. He's better there than out on the wing I agree but, if we're relying on a player like him to equal or better ourselves I feel we're fooling ourselves badly. For me he's a squad player at best. In the number 10 role, if Maddison is not available then I'd sooner play Iheanacho, Barnes or Tielemans before I'd chose Perez. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Perez is way better when played in the center, his link up play is second only to Maddison and could rotate with Kel in that position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I think that simply came down to moving into the middle of the park. Its not only about competition either, Perez offers something different to Madders and is more of a goal threat in that role than Madders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were noticeably better or certainly more of a threat with Iheanacho on the field though, just in my opinion. Perez ran around a lot, has very good close control (better than Iheanacho) but overall, for me, he flatters to deceive and is merely deceptive and good on the eye with little real contribution. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambert09 Posted 15 August 2020 Share Posted 15 August 2020 Could be being eyed up for the LWB spot if chillwell leaves. Or or at least as another option to cover there. I’d probably be more excited about this signing if he was coming to play this role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is that McNeil is very physical and would add a defensive element that Albrighton couldn’t. I’ve not seen enough of him to confidently say he would really improve us but on paper he’s got the characteristics for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It it all comes down to what our budget is, if he is a small chunk of it, it would be welcomed and seen as good business. If this is the only winger we go for, then we are still going to struggle with goals and assists from these areas and I can’t see us improving enough to compete for the top 6 again.

If we persist with the full backs high then we don’t need traditional wingers as we will use inverted wide men .....his skill set is well suited to cutting inside into busier areas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s part of the problem for me... we have several players who are ‘ very good’ In a few different positions. The only people who are truly nailed on in their positions are Kasper, vardy and Riccy P. Maybe evens and cags too. it would be so nice to have some more attack minded players who totally own their position like the others... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
