Good shout.

 

Vlašić won player of the year title in Russia. Vlašić has highly benefited from his time at CSKA Moscow after joining them from Everton and really matured as a player.

Good player, but the Russian leagues are dreadful

Who was our last signing from CSKA?

Same here

The economy (even the football economy) is too volatile

For obvious reasons..

A smart loan to buy option might be the best we can hope for. Wolves looking at Jovic so maybe we could scupper that 

[Ric Flair]

If we can get Slimani gone and Milik looks like he will leave in January then I think we'll push for him. Can't risk waiting until the summer and missing him for a third time.

[mozartfox]

Need Gray and Slimani gone this window - big ask, but this will free up wages to may be facilitate a loan to buy a forward ??

Milik blows very hot and cold

Superb one week, looks lost the next

On his day though, really good

Can’t believe Slim is still stealing a wage from us

A truly awful signing for our great club

The ideal back up striker for us, a game changer who can play in a front two as well. Still only 26.

The guy who was rumoured to be high octane?

[Steven]

Jamal Lowe at Swansea. Has had a journeyman career so far but to me looks better than the CV would suggest.

[Jazzy_Jeff]

If it would only cost a portion of his wage I’d try and get Ozil on loan.

 

Not going to kick a ball there regardless of how poor they are and could help us unlock tight defences who sit back against us.

 

Will probably get slaughtered for this but a player of his type is the immediate thing we are missing (especially when Maddison is not on it)

I can see the logic but, personally, this only works if

- he's fit
- the finances work
- there's somebody on the other end who can put the ball in the net

If Vardy's out then we will struggle massively. I'd favour a proper second striker, instead of Nacho.

There is literally zero logic to signing Ozil. 

 

He's a liability both on and off the field

Slaughtered is the least of it. Watch Tielemans our next match.

I think you'd be wholly disappointed by him. Remember watching him at Euro 2016 where he couldn't hit a barn door. We need a proper alternative to Vardy that doesn't require us to change our play, someone with pace.

The issue with having a like for like alternative is you can only ever play 1 at a time and try keeping the alternative remotely happy. Milik and Vardy as a pairing would work, plus he can play up top on his own.

Never going to happen. Closest we could get is someone who works hard up the top end, defends from the front, get them young and teach them the rest.

 

I did hear of some guy.....from....Holstein Kiel I think...... 

[wardyfox86]

We should absolutely be looking at Metheus Cunha from Hertha. Can cover 3 positions we lack cover in (CAM, LW, CF)

 

Still young, and would end our record on never signing a Brazilian.

We should literally sign him BECAUSE he’s Brazilian

It’s about time we had another player who can do 10 step overs before falling flat on his arris

👍

No goals this season in the 2nd tier of German football is a concern though!

Vardy hasn't worked as a pair since he's been here, he only started scoring regularly for us since being the lone front man. You may say he played as a pair with Nugent and Okazaki but they played a much withdrawn role between midfield and attack which helped get the best out of Vardy. He struggled in 2014 after promotion as Ulloa was brought in as that lone front man - only towards the end of the season did he regain his goal touch when he started to take up that central role again.

Scored goals alongside Iheanacho and Perez in recent seasons. A front 2 in the modern game is often a support striker in a withdrawn role, which Milik can play. NEXT

[Tielemans63]

A striker who isn't Kelechi Iheanacho please.

 

A few good layoffs here and there is not enough.

[Blanchflower78]

If anything happens to Vardy now I wouldnt be comfortable in us not being dragged down the bottom end. That's how good he is, and how bad our back up option is!
