foxes_rule1978 Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 To be honest, We are in need of a centre back especially if we want to continue with 3 at the back. Morgan, Fuchs and the like don’t cut it anymore

RowlattsFox Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Justin will be considered a back 3 option once he's fit. If Amartey stays around I don't see us signing a centre back, even more so If we sign a left back too. I think Thomas is good enough to not need to bother signing someone like Bertrand. Rather continue his development and give him games here. I see the benefit of him having a full season out on loan and it would depend on whether Rodgers trusts him if required.

Taking a risk going into another European season on those two. I’m not saying they won’t come good just I think an extra cb is needed especially with Rodgers wanting to play 3 at the back
Guest TaggertvsWise Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Just watching Toney playing vs Bournemouth right now. He looks better every match. Him and Abraham (dreaming I know) would be superb acquisitions if we qualify for CL
An Sionnach Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 (edited) At the moment we have - Pereira, Casteigne, Amartey, Soyuncu, Evans, Fofana, Morgan, Fuchs, Knight, Benkovic, Justin and Thomas as supposedly experienced defenders. Two of these are probably going to retire. I am pretty sure Rodgers wants to direct our transfer budget towards attackers so it will be interesting to hear what plans he has for our defensive assets next season.

Jimmy Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 if Benkovic can have a proper pre season to impress Brendan again he could come back into the reckoning. 1 1

An Sionnach Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Benko is still young for a CB , its surprises me how a big, powerful player like him can be so injury prone. I don't know whether he can ever revive his Leicester career , but if he can't do it with us I wish him well and hope he can prosper somewhere else. 1
Dahnsouff Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Would love Benko to come good, would save us a fortune too! 3

Dahnsouff Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Just now, Iran said: Same, I still believe there is a good player in there. Don’t think that was in huge doubt, it’s his fitness that is the worry. Let’s hope he has got all that behind him, but I am dubious as he does seem like a perma-crock. Come on Filip.

tetly Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Not sure we could afford him but would like us to get A saint maximin, looks good whenever I see him play. 1

gurru991 Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 It looks like Liverpool are going to sign Ibrahima Konate to partner VVD, does this mean they won't use their option to buy Kabak. We should try and sign him if he becomes available. Only 21 and very good. 4

MPH Posted 24 April 2021 Posted 24 April 2021 Tagliafico available for £13m... plus the Barca winger now being available. Happy days. it would be true Leicester form to bring Tags in a year before truly needing him- like maybe if Riccy P goes at the end of next season and Timmy Chestnuts gets the gig permanently at RB.

People still talk about the potential of Ricardo leaving but he's got a long way to go before any "big clubs" look at him again. He's been a shadow of himself since he came back from injury and only time will tell if he will ever get back to the levels he showed before his injury. I wouldn't be against us signing Tagliafico though as it would give us good balance as Thomas is our only natural left back once Fuchs retires and it showed this season how much of a struggle it can be with injuries. Also we are probably not going to see Justin fully fit till around October, November time and it could take him a while to get fully up to speed like it has with Ricardo. Tagliafico would also bring Champions league experience should we get there.
