The question was 'do you think you'll make many signings?' To which he said 'no not really' ....he then goes on to say they'll see of they can add quality.

Radio Leicester took the slant there wouldn't be too many incomings 

 

Finally, he says he's unlikely to add too many players in the transfer window: "It's something that we’ve looked at. If there’s someone we think can help and improve us we’ll do that but there will be nobody coming in for the sake of it."

Radamel Falcao.  Is old and would take a short project , is quality and still doing the job .

Also tried the Premier League in his younger days and was found wanting.

Completely different slant on what he actually said yesterday 😂

What was said in your estimation? 

[ALC Fox]

I've thought about this a fair deal and I can't really put my finger on quite what we need until we get our injuries back. Yes we need to improve defensively but until Soyuncu and Ricardo are back we're not up to strength in that area.

 

The Vardy replacement thing is an issue, of course, but I think we can currently solve that within our own squad. I'd try Perez, Barnes and Under as a front three with Ndidi, Tielemans and Maddison as the midfield three. With Ricardo and Castagne contributing as full-backs, that's a team with a lot of technical quality in central areas, pace out wide and an ability to link up well.

 

If we can play a few games with that kind of formation, I think we'll be closer to knowing exactly where we need to strengthen.

[Pliskin]

Basically. We will sign one of our targets if we can, if we can’t we won’t.... 

[Guest Chocolate Teapot]

Weve signed at least 1 player since we've been in the Premier league.

 

14/15: kramaric, huth

15/16: amartey, gray

16/17: ndidi, wague

17/18: diabete, brought Barnes back from loan

18/19: tielemans, brought Barnes back from loan 

19/20: Bennett 

 

I'd expect 1.

What a glorious window that was in 19/20

What a time to be alive 👍

If we actually manage to replace Gray, Slimani and Nacho with players anywhere near the quality of most of the recent signings, the squad is going to take a massive boost in quality come the summer.

Will take some scouting. We can’t afford fees like we payed for young Wes and JJ could be a freak phenomenon, he has it all. Hopefully Rudders and co will have plenty lined up.

Costa, Defoe, Falcao, Ozil and Lingard, what on earth has this thread become

 

As I said the other day, a Vardy understudy should be our main priority in January, we are pretty much ok in all other areas. These two fit the bill, not some washed up stopgap.

Gray, slimani, fuchs and Morgan are all on at least 50k a week. They'll free up some serious space on the wage bill as has players like silva going. Ghezzal is tearing it up in Turkey too so we might be able to sell him.

 

The fees aren't really the issue. It's more the wages we've been carrying fir a while.

If we replace just one of them with quality of signing we have made in last two summers it would be a massive boost.

For me too, the club is making massive progress on and off the field, the negativity on here is crazy

[SuperMike]

 A goalkeeper who can punch the ball at corners and freekicks, and an outfield player who can take corners and free kicks. Win the league. Simples.

I don't wish to pick a fight, but do you really believe that is all it would take?

Why do we need a left back? We accidentally signed a world class one.

We’ve had some questionable characters on past squads but I guess there’s always room for a player who’s actually killed someone to slot into a position we don’t even need to fill.

Just checked - it’s definitely not 2014
