shen Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 All these names thrown in here... could it just be that we're actually targeting players like Chalobah and AMN during this window due to the uncertainties around Brexit and how the work permits work? We've had one major transfer gaffe happen to us, so I can absolutely imagine the club playing safe this time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 I'd take a retired Zidane over Chalobah... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCCHRIS Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 There's a time to be cautious and then there's a time to just take a punt on a loan deal. This scenario is the second one. Surely there's at least one out of favour (but talented) striker and / or CAM about that someone wants off their wages.. look at Willian José going to wolves, he was more out of favour due to wanting to move for a few years, not due to his record which is actually semi decent at sociedad. I can't believe that we wouldn't be able to find one player that adds to the squad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be but we've seen other European transfers go through fine, odegaard, Willian José to name two. I'd be questioning the ability of our staff if that's what's holding them back..

This is failing to recognise that Maddison starts if fit Vardy is out for 1 more week and will start when back Who wants to come here and be certain to be on the bench? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just guessing here, since I don't see why we would reportedly show interest in either AMN or Chalobah during this window otherwise. Are these really just Bennett-type loans, i.e. clearly backup and will be lucky to get more than 2-3 games, mainly in the cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 Throwing this out there... Talk of AMN and Chalobah are additional's to the attacking midfielder? Perhaps Brendan is looking for an energetic defensive midfielder to potentially come in. Mendy has proven whilst tidy he does not possess the aggression Wilf has, and we lose a huge part of our game when both he and Vardy are out... So maybe he is looking for another option in that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you're right, with praet getting injured so late in the window we couldn't have made that assurance of game time to a CAM before now. Summer we need to get the illusive striker position looked at.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think so, has to be a emergency kind of signing for the worst case scenario as you say, the trouble with that being it's potentially replacing the quality of praet with just a body to make the numbers up, better than nothing maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t expect him either a)to play in some massive games b) be so totally dogshit I expect ( has been said) to see a loan without much expectation of playing time pending Dennis’ return . If DP is likely to be out for the season it might be smarter to pay a loan fee for a better player for the remainder of the season as there are still potentially loads of games left 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surrifox Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 I just want the window to draw to a conclusion with our dream signing ( whoever it may be) holding up the shirt with a huge smile at around 6pm. I don’t want it to end with wishing the time away to cut off before we accidentally sign Vestergaard or Townsend .
