RumbleFox Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 GK Castagne Faes CB Thomas Ndidi Tielemans RW Maddison Barnes Daka/Vardy/Nacho We need more than this long term, but for me, in terms of January, we absolutely NEED a keeper, a starting CB and a starting RW. 1
RumbleFox Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 I’d honestly be happy if we went and singed a load of cheap but promising young players, whether from the UK or further afield. Please just no PL journeymen. 1
Kierzz Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 CM (to replace an underperforming Youri who is at the end of his contract) GK (Ward is nowhere near premier league level) RW (the black hole in our team) LB (can't rely on Thomas with the injuries we have)
funkyrobot Posted 31 December 2022 Posted 31 December 2022 Goalkeeper - Ward not good enough Full back - only 2 fit, need at least one, prob left side as Thomas weaker of the two fit ones. centre back - Amartey should only be cover creative midfielder - cover for Maddison/Tielemans right wing - we haven’t got one. centre forward - Daka doesn’t score enough goals, Vardy showing his age, Rodger’s doesn’t trust Iheanacho 2
StriderHiryu Posted 5 January 2023 Posted 5 January 2023 (edited) We need about 6 players based on current injuries... Edited 5 January 2023 by StriderHiryu 2
sacreblueits442 Posted 6 January 2023 Posted 6 January 2023 .. got to say I like Tete, Madueke is too much of a gamble, but Tsygankov is the winner out of this bunch!!! I like the way he is relentless when attacking, pretty much scoring goals is all he can see, and we just have no one that single-minded only Maddison comes close!!! He has a wider deadball accuracy than Maddison, near or far he can score, Maddison only good from 25-28 yards. He shoots across the keeper and imparts the spin that is always bringing in the ball inside the far post.

TeaMen Tom Posted 6 January 2023 Posted 6 January 2023 (edited) Kai Wagner - LB for Philadelphia Union in MLS. Best LB in the league. 25 year old German who wants to move to a top league. He'll be affordable and can step right in. Definite upgrade on Luke Thomas, that's for sure. He's tough. Edited 6 January 2023 by TeaMen Tom

Seems absolutely class, screams exactly what we need… However, I noticed he’s not played over 30 games in a single season for 4 years now.

LeePhilpottsBaldSpot Posted 6 January 2023 Posted 6 January 2023 (edited) For the rest of this season, I'd prioritise... 1. Left back 2. Centre back 3. Goalkeeper 4. Right winger Shore up the defence as the number one priority. Edited 6 January 2023 by LeePhilpottsBaldSpot

Right winger Shore up the defence as the number one priority. I think the priority constantly changes. There's this notion we score enough goals that defence is our main concern, but without Maddison we don't score or create enough and he's been out long enough now that even if he returns this month he might take ages to make an impact like we saw at the end of 2020/21 and in to 2021/22. Suddenly, RW becomes that main priority but it could be too late if we dont already think that now. For me, the two bare minimums are a left footed defender (cover both positions - such as Szalai) and RW.

UHDrive Posted 6 January 2023 Posted 6 January 2023 @Ric Flair I've saw a lot about this guy, Matías Soulé as a RW. Any chance we could crash a loan to buy for him? He isn't the quickest but boy is he skillful. 1

They do have financial issues supposedly and haven't been that good at investing in their young players over the years. 1
LFox99 Posted 6 January 2023 Posted 6 January 2023 Just now, Ric Flair said: Soulé decent footballing family, his German cousin is playing CB for Dortmund 1

I heard about him in the summer because of his b-team performances for Juve and his contract expiring in 2024. There are no transfer rumours at all which is surprising. Do you think there's a reason for that?
