Some of those finishes were excellent. But that first goal, what was the keeper doing? He loves the top corner. But yes, some very dodgy defending and keeping in some of those.

He’a being touted for Bayern as well isn’t he? Decent prospect and someone Richards would know with moving there in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By comparison Sharky has 4 assists in about half of the time. ....you need to look pass the stats...!!! He is just right for us, he operates mostly on the left and with Barnes in the seat it would be a difficult ask to bring him into our team. I feel he would make all the difference to us when we are on top at the start of games and we are struggling to convert and then can't find a way to open up teams. His nature on the ball would be an assured pass and composure, where we tend at the moment to overplay, under hit and make poor decisions in that final third. He is playing for Burnley, whose style of play does not give him the options we can, that is to play in a style which lends itself to his skillset. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 The big lad up front for Fiorentina has impressed me this season. Had a real iffy spell after he came on the scene but he's now showing real consistency. Could be a monster of a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd do alright here but baring in mind he has played pretty much all his career on the left, we can't assume he could come and play on the right and be the level we'd require of him. I'd go nowhere near him at the price he'll cost. Absolutely zero pace either, I've seen my Dad scurry off for a pony quicker. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could operate as the left footed player on the right, pace is an asset and so is his intelligence on the ball. At this moment Barnes is developing on the left but will move centrally sometime down the line, we need to not see Barnes as immovable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LCCFox96 Posted 16 March 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 16 March 2021 Value in the transfer price would be my main issue with McNeil. I think he'd do well with us, and fit into the squad ethos and playing style well. He's clearly got ability but he's also one of Burnley's only major assets and they have him well protected. He's under contract till 2024 and has the option of a further year. Unless Burnley got relegated, which is unlikely given the standard of some of the sides down there, we'd pay through the nose for him. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justfoxes Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Seems Manure have Pis 5ed off Donny Van De Beek by promising him game time and then keeping him on the bench, the lad now wants to leave after just one season with Utd; So just wondering if Brendan might have a chat with the lad to take a trip down to Leicester to a club who knows how to take care of quality players?? 😉😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 Is Faivre worth getting excited about? I don't watch Ligue 1 but it looks like some huge clubs are sniffing and it'd appear he's only played half a season. The answer to our right sided issue?

Very versatile, can play RW, ACM or LW Very good at set pieces and generally a dynamic player, ticks all the boxes for a player we'd go for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of a sleeper. Very talented guy who can play all over the midfield. I think there's a lot of overlap between his game and Praet's though, so he might make more sense as a fallback if Praet pushes for a transfer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeils creative stats are absolutely horrendous (yes it’s with Burnley) but I hope we don’t go anywhere near him with how much he would cost Edited 16 March 2021 by moore_94 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he could be the next Mane or Vardy but he will probably need time to adjust. Time to adjust is fine, we have two other capable strikers. He has all the attributes to succeed.

TJB-fox Posted 16 March 2021 Share Posted 16 March 2021 I’ve completely lost track of who we’re supposedly after because half the stuff that gets posted is incredibly tenuous links to crap foreign football sites and the other half is just people saying who they want, not who we’re actually linked with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d quite like to come into this thread and read about a player Leicester are genuinely targeting, rather than some polish third division winger someone’s bought on football manager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
