chapero82 Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Nobody has really signed anyone and I would prefer it like this instead of what we could of signed today

A new face would have had a positive effect on the team for me. In his defence, i've not heard a Leicester manager in the last ten years talk so openly about his confidence at completing a deal for a midfielder. Something somewhere went wrong and it wasn't meant to be. 1

Popular Post foxfanazer Posted 1 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 1 February 2021 Clever by the club to throw in a name like Chalobah. Now instead of disappointment from the fans for not signing anyone we're actually relieved. Big brains 8 3

No top team would give us a reserve, any deals would be cash or loan with obligations to buy. I'd have loved Eriksen but nobody has managed to get him. Who has moved that we missed out on that we really could've got? Exactly. Makes me laugh people bitching and moaning about us not signing anyone. Yes it's frustrating but other than Odegaard and maybe Josh King, cant see any other players we have missed out on. Odegaard we enquired about so he clearly fancied London over Leicester and we clearly didnt fancy King or we would have gone for him. Like you said, the "big clubs" would not do us a favour and loan anyone to us. I'm sure AMN would rather have come here than go to WBA.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 (edited) Really disappointed, but I can understand why we haven't made a signing if it's due to finances or the right player not being available. I've got a feeling it'll come back to bite us on the arse and we'll end up a body short in midfield for a few weeks at least. Top 6 is the main thing though, no reason we can't still achieve that and improve the squad over the summer with 2 or 3 new additions like we did in the summer just gone.

urban.spaceman Posted 1 February 2021 Posted 1 February 2021 Not even a surprise contract extension for Vardy. Probably saving it till the summer.

Surely Top 4 would have been infinitely more crucial.

We'll need at least 3 (striker, winger, potentially cb and a replacement for whoever we inevitably sell) and hopefully players like KDH, Sowah and Iversen to come back and compete as if we're in the europa again we'll need bodies. Would assume the outgoings will be Ghezzal, Morgan, fuchs, James and choudhury at the least will be the outgoings. Edited 1 February 2021 by Chocolate Teapot

Probably the only person I would have wanted us to go after was Mateta, but even then he probably would have preferred to go to Palace where he will play every week anyway Edited 1 February 2021 by moore_94

Well yeah, but any form of European football keeps us amongst the big boys and also gives us a chance to use all 25 or so players we have at the club, plus none of us (or very few) expected top 4 prior to the season starting. It also gives us another chance of the European tour we missed out on this year. 1

glebe_sydneyfox Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 I think collectively we're all a bit nervous given the inevitable round of injuries we have at present. I agree with many other posters that none of the names we were genuinely linked with (Chalobah et al) would have been an upgrade on anything we had. In saying that, a loan to cover Praet could have been sensible.
Rusko187 Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 For the life of me, I don't understand why the transfer window is a month long when nobody does business until the final few days. Reduce it to a week for a transfer free for all!

Which would have been a huge risk as well - he would be signed effectively as cover for Fofana injured for a month and there’s absolutely no guarantee he’s going to pick up to the speed of English football (hence Liverpool made the signing of Davies). Generally defenders from Bundesliga take time to get up to speed - Soyuncu, Koch, Metresacker off the top of my head I can think of.
