honeybradger Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 I think with the rise of barnes and hopefully under as goalscoring wingers it would be better to replace vardy with someone with better linkup than someone who mostly plays off the shoulder of defenders. We're not going to find anyone better than vardy at it so why not try and improve in other areas. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 Given the fact the league is still tight, and mostly shit, two quality signings could be a game changer for us. Would even rule out title number two. But we’re two class players short. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Dennis, but in a more advanced role than what Youri plays. We already have that guy though. KDH will 100% be our man for this next season 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we do end up signing two players, one will be for the future or will be left out on loan or something. Would love to be proved wrong though!

Wouldn't mind seeing Ricardo tried there. Would be incredible harsh to drop Justin or Castagne at RB and Ricardo has been as good as any attacking down that side. Have also been pleasantly surprised with Albrighton's performances there. Under is an exciting player too and should shake off that injury quickly. Striker for me is the absolute priority and I think that is where the resources should go in this window. We have been incredibly fortunate with Vardy so far.

Gerard Posted 29 December 2020 Share Posted 29 December 2020 9 hours ago, Foxy_Bear said: Quite clearly over the odds and they may be trying to inflate the price with no real hopes of getting that much but if it DID come down to £15m or nothing...I would pay it. When you take out of the equation his contract expiry date and squad status at Napoli and purely look at what you would be getting for the price, it's worth it. The second half of this season deputising for Vardy and getting accustomed to the league then starting next year with Vardy as the undisputed king of supersub/impact players, which would also prolong Vardy's career by about 3 more years. Why would Milik move for €15m when in six months time he could have that €15m in his contract negotiations instead of Napoli? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 24-year-old attacker combined working in an electricity company and playing football in order to fend for his family and at a time he had to quit football temporarily.” https://www.sportingnews.com/ca/soccer/news/i-had-to-quit-football-reims-boulaye-dia-on-his-difficult-journey-to-stardom/1pf8mo6ji5f2i1q32b76iohb62 ...surely we would have go to two upfront, as this player is too good to have sitting on the bench!!! His route to the game seems to match Vardy and appears to have a great work ethic and his story would be something that Gray should want to take onboard as he lacks the hunger and self awareness that is required to go forward.

He used to play pretty much everywhere in the midfield and was not a striker but lille have started to use him as a striker (they often play with 2 strikers though), which could be an interesting turn. He has a fantastic left foot, good at set pieces, can carry the ball and plays fantastic final passes. He is in general an athletic player who in my opinion could develop further (he needs to improve his right foot). He had an ACL injury last season (but not an injury prone player in general) and is thus valued at the moment at 13m (but I assume his real worth is somewhere 30m), he is 23 years. not a good promo video to be honest (too many shots missing/failing the target .... ) but gives an impression ...nothing to see here...!!! Deadball skills, poor, finishing, poor, awareness, average, dribbling ok....not worth attempting to bring in the next window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he wanted to move in the summer, was denied. Left out of their squad for the league and europe, hasnt played for them and will want to play in the Euros in the summer.... Plus he has said he wants a move this January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 30 December 2020 Share Posted 30 December 2020 There is something up with milik. hes not played for 6 months and there's a load of hype around him. Something doesn't add up for me. Athletico apparently not interested in him now. I feel like his agent is pushing hard and probably asking for a load of money which no one is going to pay.

Wymsey Posted 30 December 2020 Share Posted 30 December 2020 How Lingard is still at Manchester United and not sent out on-loan / sold to some top-half Championship side, is a mystery.

Why did it take being at a Premium club for you to apply yourself? That said, it’s been documented that he’s had problems off the field this year. He’s had to play a father role to his family after some illness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't added to their squad list this season because he said he wanted to leave. They also refused to sell him. Seems like it's broken down there for him and they are purposely trying to screw him over for whatever reason. 32 goals in 52 games for Ajax and 38 in 93 for Napoli show he knows were the goal is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
