Chocolate Teapot 3,849 Posted 30 December 2020 Report 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wymsey 4,673 Posted 30 December 2020 Report 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. Stolen a living by clinging onto a historic club and not doing much to warrant it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coolhandfox 3,009 Posted 30 December 2020 Report Share Posted 30 December 2020 Would Lovee to see us go for Thauvin, Depay or Calhanoglu. Last two are unrealistic I suppose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Something doesn't add up for me. I've looked at his stats, two goals in his last 17 last season. The only games he's played this season are for Poland where he's no longer a starter. I remember he was dreadful at Euro 2016 too, one to avoid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adejo92 1,153 Posted 30 December 2020 Report Share Posted 30 December 2020 I don't think he would perform if i am honest. I have a feeling he would trot around the pitch, on a high wage, with little reward. I would much rather see a youth player introduced who's keen, sharp and wanting to make his career. It was blatantly obvious we were astonishingly weak in the ST position before the season, when we did nothing about it, so i would be surprised if we did anything in January. Maybe the club still think Nacho can come good - unfortunately for us, we'll have to watch him try and subsequently embarrass himself each week. Anyone know of any youth players that they think would have the quality to step up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That would just leave us with soyuncu, Evans and fofana... Justin as cover.. But a proper centre back as a 4th choice would be useful as we've relied heavily on fuchs this season And replace Albrighton with someone quicker probably.. Love the lad but always looks like he's running in thick mud to me Other than that.. I agree with the rest.. Would make us very solid if we don't lose anyone we want to keep hold of Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Happy Fox 1,783 Posted 30 December 2020 Report Share Posted 30 December 2020 Ivan Toney for me he’s got everything to be the perfect Vardy under-study, reckon he would jump at the chance to come to Leicester City, Brentford is a good set up but we are a better set up. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OllieLodge96 53 Posted 30 December 2020 Report Share Posted 30 December 2020 Toney is a great shout but don't think we'll see it. Brentford will be asking for a heck of a sum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie Vardy, Ian Wright, Mitoslav Klose, Luca Toni, Ciro Immobile, Didier Drogba, Ramires, Kevin Phillips, Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Ole Gunner Solskjaer, Dado Prso..... all bloomed late. Some of those guys didn't sign a professional contract until their 20's. Not all players mature at the same age. Just look at our title winning team. How many of those guys would have been good enough for us at 20? Mahrez, Okazaki, Albrighton, Morgan, Simpson, Fuchs, Drinkwater?? Few, if any. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would make us very solid if we don't lose anyone we want to keep hold of Thought about CB but was impressed with Amartey the other day so I’d stick with him as 4th choice. Wilf can also play there if absolutely desperate I’d keep Albrighton. Covers right and left side wing, wingback and fullback (if desperate) his versatility and experience could be invaluable 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yorkie1999 4,628 Posted 30 December 2020 Report Share Posted 30 December 2020 Goals is what we need. We don't have a reliable Vardy alternative. We can defend, create, run down the wing and all that stuff but without the goals, all of that stuff is pointless. Go round the county and get every kid who scores 30 goals a season and shove through the new academy, and put Vardy in charge of the all. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's not a pointless waste of a wage, you have to register three senior goalkeepers in a European squad. You are not going to get anyone better to be third choice. James and Jakupovic will be on a combined £70kpw at most. You are not going to have spare from £4m to invest on a centre forward after four contract renegotiations.
