Ric Flair Posted 3 November 2022 Share Posted 3 November 2022 It's an obvious yes but I don't believe this is feasible. It certainly wasn't last summer as Tete has been quite clear he wanted to join Lyon again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacreblueits442 Posted 3 November 2022 Share Posted 3 November 2022 ...this would be awesome, but I cannot see it happening, with Rodgers at the helm!!! Knudsen may be able to convince him to see the balance of the team will be improved by bringing in this one player. We still need one out to bring one in, we need to get him in.

Popular Post moore_94 Posted 4 November 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 4 November 2022 (edited) Before he got dropped due to Blanc’s system Tete had started every game so far this season as a right winger 11 appearances - 10 starts 789 minutes - 8.8 90s 5 goals and 3 assists Goal contribution every 99 minutes Out of contract with Shakhtar next year and looks unlikely to get back into Blanc’s plans due to his system This could be a good opportunity to get him, and it sounds like he is well up for leaving Lyon and coming to the Prem Edited 4 November 2022 by moore_94 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have misread your post - but I don't see a defensive coach advising the manager that we need a winger. Knudsen is clearly good at what he does but his CV/reputation isn't any further on than any other coach we have involved with the first team that means his opinion is considering more worthy than anyone else. In terms of where Knudsen sits in the clubs hierarchy, they feel its perfectly fine that in two weeks he goes to Qatar with the US National Team and isn't at LCFCs training ground during the mini-break. You know in the lead-up to the January transfer window. Edited 4 November 2022 by CosbehFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any coach who says “you know what boss, could do with a right winger couldn’t we” is hardly going to win brain of the year. Rodgers will be sitting down with the recruitment/scouting team. I doubt he has anything in-depth with most of his coaching staff about that area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 4 November 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 4 November 2022 Didn't realise Blanc had gone there!! Missed that completely. Tete has been our number one target from what I gather, if there is even a small chance its back as a possibility then we have to be the one to get him. He is the most complete player for that position that I've seen that we could realistically attract and he's Brazilian!!!! 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjcW Posted 4 November 2022 Share Posted 4 November 2022 I'm still intrigued as to who he met with in London before he went to Lyon. Could easily have been any one of the teams mentioned above. I thought he was destined for Spurs as the meeting at the time was right next to their training ground (a very random location) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 4 November 2022 Share Posted 4 November 2022 His numbers really stood out at Shakhtar and he carried on putting them up in France, we've needed a RW for years and if he's interested in coming we'd be idiots (lol) not to sign him. Also frees up Barnes and Maddison, for however long, and helps replace some of his creativity when he eventually does. Finances surely can't be an issue when we have so much deadwood with 7 months left on their contracts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing Ric genuinely hyped on this forum is one of the best parts of Foxes Talk ! If he signs I fully expect Ric to personally lead the chants for him on his debut! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will mean a shake-up in the formation, we will have to go with Maddison coming inside and a pivot where Soumare and Tielemans run the midfield. You can tell that Rodgers does not fancy KDH, and if he gets the opportunity to drop him to the bench he will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure I can agree with you about Rodgers not fancying KDH, but I do think his ideal formation is a 4-1-4-1, which doesn't really fit KDH, although he could probably do the job as the 8 if needed. But he wants a RW, and if we shift a few people in the window, he might get one in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
