happy85 Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 KDH in a better team will thrive - A poor season at Leicester we still able to flog him for 10 mill as performances at Luton and Blackpool have been of high calibre We are not sure how far can KDH can go but early signs he can go to the top Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hales Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 So Brendan wants to end the summer transfer tradition. It seems he wants to keep the squad intact with maybe only the "never play" players leaving? Surely this is the end for Morgan and Fuchs this summer? Under back to Roma? I'm glad he wants to keep the team together and build on it. Money has been discussed so it seems players will be brought in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox85 Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 12 hours ago, Clever Fox said: I think Edouard is most likely to come here. He's already said he want's to team up with Brendan again. The fly in the ointment is Arsenal who are trying to entice him there. There could be as many as 8 or 9 leaving, including Choudhury and possibly Praet in the list. Though Praet might need to prove he's over his injury before someone will buy him. I'm sure he doesn't want to warm the Bench for another year. Plus we have Dewsbury Hall etc to provide backup. that should bring in 30 mil with Salaries saved. A Cup final and top 4 would greatly ease things financially, Then we can then pick up a few bargains in Europe as a lot of Clubs need to sell. We'll be better off than most. plus we have some big Assets if we needed to cash in on some of our stars. . Preat won't be going anywhere he's a bloody game changer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 20 March 2021 Author Share Posted 20 March 2021 (edited) It makes sense to keep Knight. Our squad has been stretched in Europe this season. Having Barnes,, KDH, Choudhury and Knight as home grown makes sense. A lot are convinced we should sell Choudhury anyway; I think he is worth persevering with.. There is an argument,ent that a loan could help Thomas develop. I hope Soyuncu gets a new contract rather than being sold as suggested by some. He is class. We have real quality in Schmeichel (with Ward and Iversen as excellent back-up Evans, Soyuncu, Fofana ( with Amartey as an excellent back-up) we Ricardo, Castagne, Justin (Thomas as an excellent prospect but is not part of the 25 because of age)) Ndidi (I hope we keep Choudhury) Tielemans, Maddison, Praet Barnes (and we should definitely hang on to Albrighton) Vardy (hopefully Iheanacho stays and pushes on) If we keep Knight and DOH that's 21. I would let Mendy and Perez move on. We are not keeping Cenghis. Fuchs and Morgan will probably not be in the squad next season. We potentially have roo for 4 new signings but not a great deal of funds. I think we need a striker, two wide forwards and would still benefit from a left footed left back. Hopefully , with the squad we have, a couple would be cheaper prospects. Edited 20 March 2021 by majaco Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chocolate Teapot Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 52 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: I'd not be that surprised, if an ambitious Championship club (likely one of the relegated PL clubs going down this season) were to offer £10m or so then we might be tempted. All depends how much Rodgers needs to strengthen the squad and what available funds we have. Hopefully he gets a chance here next season, needs to end the season in the form he built up earlier in the season. Would be a great bonus to have an additional central midfielder with his skillset. We could probably make 15-20m out of him. Hes on a long contract. There's some value in our squad that's not just the first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's why it's a desire to see a constant conveyor belt of young players coming through. Some will make it here, some will go on loan and do well and we sell for good money and continue the cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Euros and World Cup .coming up soon I'm not sure he'd want to spend another season warming the Bench. The one thing that might keep him here is his recent injury, If he can prove his fitness before the end of Season then I still think he might be off elsewhere. Given the financial climate it makes sense and we also know Brendan wants to reduce the squad to 22. so anything is possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 11 hours ago, Ric Flair said: It's quite clear we need 2-3 signings, possibly more if any players leave that have played 10+ games for us this season as its highly likely we are going to be in Europe again. We so badly need CL qualification and we'll then get to develop this squad how we'd really like to. I think although a little forced this season, I think we will look to develop Academy players and strengthen from within combined with a couple of quality signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 Joachim Andersen on loan. Been one of Fulhams best players this season. Lyon probably find themselves in a similar situation to us with Silva/Slimani, having to loan him out until his contract runs down. He’d be a decent 4th choice option & it saves us spending 15-20m on Tarkowski who we could sign on a free next year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc sheff Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 Nuno mendes from sporting Lisbon would be my shout. The chap we’ve been linked with before is still playing well and could be another Fofana-esque signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaggertvsWise Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 Signings for the Champions League have to be not only the right fit culturally and not too many - we have been down that route - but also prepared to step up fearlessly and also respect the rotation policy that will come with fixture congestion. With that in mind I would like to see: McNeil Ward-Prowse Ivan Toney Edouard I think with a fit current squad these signings could provide the right mixture of depth / quality / potential and balance to give us a thoroughly respectable European and domestic season.

You have no idea how individual characters are going to fit in, just because those English/British based lads you’ve suggested play in the Uk doesn’t mean they’ll fit in. Nor does it mean a player from France or Germany or Spain won’t fit in. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McNeil would be a hideous waste of money, Ward-Prowse would cost over £40m and Toney wouldn't be value for money either. Edouard will be the one for us. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes96 Posted 20 March 2021 Share Posted 20 March 2021 My dream window would be as below, although will likely be no where near. Assuming we have c. £20m which we would have spent on Ünder and -£20m usual net spend. Gives us 3 extra squad players to what we’ve utilised this season with another wide player, striker and Midfielder. Another CB would be the icing on the cake, especially if we play 3atb more often, but given the financial situation and Amartey’s performances not strictly necessary. Knight or that young Dundee CB could be used as the 5th choice CB to save on expenditure if needs be. In: Édouard ~£15m Neres/ Faivre ~£25-30m Soumaré ~£15-20m KDH - Loan returnee Sowah - Loan returnee Out: Choudhury ~£15m Ünder - Returning to Roma Tavares - Loan Fuchs - Retire Morgan - Retire Net spend - £45m 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
