The only problem is, and it's quite a big problem from my point of view, that... well... he's a complete helmet... is he though? I get the sense that he’s more of a Vardy. Great at rustling other fans but probably a pretty decent guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fits our profile of young (still only 24) talented players who maybe have lost their may a little who i think could turn it round under BR. Despite all the hype around him i suspect his wage demands are not that huge, bearing in mind Tottenham have a notoriously stingy attitude and he is out of favour so not likely to get improved terms any time soon. If the rumours of them being interested in Gray are true (which i doubt) then we could possible do some sort of swap deal. Personally i would take him. He's on 100K/wk wages and not good enough to make a 9-player bench. Plus he reportedly has an attitude problem. Pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have criticised him in the past for coming across as a bit petulant and a spoilt brat but maybe spending time out of the picture may have matured him a little. We seem to have a pretty grounded, down to earth bunch here so maybe they would soon knock it out of him? 4 minutes ago, surrifox said: If they’re interested in Gray they can sign him for nothing Not in January they can't. My point was, if they are really interested and want to offload Ali who seems, like Gray is here, surplus to requirements/out of favour then there may be the ossibility of a deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would we want top sign a Spurs reserve player of questionable temperament for an obscene transfer fee & wages when we have Maddison, Tielemans & Praet? He is a reserve player for a reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is obviously something going on with him and Jose (who has previous for freezing players out). Obviously this is not a priority position for us at the moment but we have players surplus here that Spurs have supposedly had an interest in previously (Gray, Slimani) so there would be no harm in testing the water. If the price is not right then we leave well alone, but if it was, then i think he could do well here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murphy Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 (edited) We have one thread asking if our midfield is the best in the league and another asking if we should bring in that horrible little brat of a reserve midfielder from Spurs. And he doesn't like passing to Vardy. Nope, no thanks. Yer alright. I'll pass. Edited 21 December 2020 by murphy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently the whole of the French league are struggling with money, we could pick up a bargain or two in the next 6 months from there. My dad was telling me about this, something like their TV deal pulled the plug and the alternative Canal+ isn't anywhere near the figures touted. Could try to be ambitious and get someone like Depay, Dembele, Ben Yedder or Jonathan Bamba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyfox Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Ali is a superb talent that seems to have lost his way a bit. If the 2 parties are interested, It could be good for all. Anyone that joins LCFC would be fully aware of the dressing room and how we go about things. Worth a punt imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OhYesNdidi Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Edouard from Celtic I can see being a summer signing. With vardys age it’s time to be cut throat with Iheanacho, who I believe is not good enough make any impact at this level consistently. I like the look of olise, would be a great signing for the future! A ball carrier, something we don’t have (bar Barnes)! Especially from the centre of the pitch. possibly a CB?

Heymister2015 Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 Rodgers wanted 5 signings and only managed 3. In expecting 2 in January if he wanted 5 for the calendar season.

I watched that documentary on Tottenham the other day and mourinho calls him Lazy 2 or 3 times, I’m not sure you could play him and Maddison in the same team although I think whoever signs him is potentially getting a hell of player if he replicate his form of a few seasons ago.

HoustonFox Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 I actually think Dele would add to the squad and give us something we don’t have for a plan B as he can hold up the ball exceedingly well, and would chip in a few goals as a false 9. He would give cover to Madders when off form / injured and can also add something deeper if needed too. If he was fit and motivated, I could see him being fantastic. However, realistically, he’s not going to join, is he. Maybe if we had Chilly still, so they could be MK buddies...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he could fine his form of 2-3 years ago, I would have him in our squad. At that time, he was an England regular and one of the best English midfielders around. I am sure that with some good coaching, he could find that form again - wouldn’t be too much of a gamble. My only problem is that he is a complete tool.

Guest Hansifüx Posted 21 December 2020 Share Posted 21 December 2020 No matter what position, I would prefer a player that improves the team on a physical level, someone with height and athleticism. I think we have creative people enough ... with Maddison, Barnes, Tielemans, Under, Perez ... Castagne, Justin, Thomas, have potential to impact on that dimension as well.

However, it's unlikely Zinchenko would be expensive, given that he only cost Man City 1.7 million quid, is on 20/wk wages and hardly plays. He plays his fair share of games given he's a bit of a utility player and has been linked with clubs like Napoli etc recently. He'd cost a fair wedge in terms of transfer fee and wages, Man city ain't going to let anyone go who is young and plays semi regularly for them for less than £20m which is very expensive for someone who will be back-up.

ARM1968 Posted 22 December 2020 Share Posted 22 December 2020 (edited) I’ll say it again, one last time. Malen is the striker we need. He is the heir to Jamie’s throne. Bust a nut and get the guy. We wouldn’t regret it. Oh and id also try and sign Matondo. Lad will be utter mustard. Edited 22 December 2020 by ARM1968 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
