The only position I can see us buying, bizarrely enough, is a left footer to cover Doyle. but by that time, Justin may have excelled. This is the thing isn't it, Doyle gives us more cb'ness in the 3 than JJ but, our JJ is quite probably going to become the 2nd best right back/left back /general defender in the country.
TJQuik Posted 14 October 2023 Posted 14 October 2023 Is it too late to go in for Ilias Chair? I think we could do with some more creativity in the middle.

les-tah Posted 15 October 2023 Posted 15 October 2023 (edited) Genuinely wonder if we will be so far ahead in January we might attempt to get some of our summer 2024 signings in early to bed them into enzos system ready for the prem. Edited 15 October 2023 by les-tah

I take your point, but I think we've only room for one more loan players this season, so I'm not sure we can add that many more in January, unless they are prepared to not be part of the match day squad. 1

If we see a player who we believe completes the jigsaw we are going to have to pay the price as the cost and our needs become a bargaining chip for other clubs to use against us.
Lambert09 Posted 21 October 2023 Posted 21 October 2023 We really need to be busting a gut for nacho to sign a new deal. He’s happy here, I really think it’s do-able 3 1

He’s happy here, I really think it’s do-able I'd only do this for a year or two though. Not sure he's good enough for us to try to compete in the prem, so don't want a five year contract handed out, and he might not want to sign a shorter contract.

I think we'll buy once we're up, to make sure we're safe first season, mid table second season, and then pushing on from there

We had a team that was good enough for Europe. He just trusted a manager that has taken us into Europe twice to get us out of trouble. That's fairly obvious to everybody.

Hmm. We need another striker for the premiership anyway tho, I can't bank on any of those 4 scoring 15 premiership goals in a season if we get promoted, if we have a 10 point cushion we may be able to get a PL quality striker if they think it's only for 3-4 months.
Sly Posted 22 October 2023 Posted 22 October 2023 The big question remains, what do you do with the players that are expiring come June 2024? Marc Albrighton Jannik Vestergaard Dennis Praet Jamie Vardy Wilfred Ndidi Kelechi Iheanacho Luke Thomas Wanya Marçal Callum Doyle Ceser Casadei Yunus Akgun Issahaku Fatawu Alex Smithies We could do with addressing some of those before January ideally. We’ll need to shift Iversen, Souttar, Daka and Ward I would imagine.

Marc Albrighton - let go Jannik Vestergaard - probably let go Dennis Praet - let go Jamie Vardy - 10 year deal Wilfred Ndidi - renew Kelechi Iheanacho - renew Luke Thomas - has 1 year option, renew Wanya Marçal - renew Callum Doyle - re-sign on loan/permanent Ceser Casadei - at the moment I wouldn't be interested in him getting him back next summer, but still over 30 games left to go Yunus Akgun - I expect he will play enough to activate the obligation to buy Issahaku Fatawu - same as Yunus Alex Smithies - let go 2

I think we probably will, even if he isn't playing that much next season I think Enzo will want to keep him around just because of his experience, leadership etc. I would have no problem with it either

Cannon will need some game time and if he looks PL standard, then that will make a difference. Enzo will know. Edited 22 October 2023 by splinterdream
majaco Posted 22 October 2023 Posted 22 October 2023 We need a backup custodian. The Stolarczyk can go out on loan. After we have moved on Iversen and Ward. If we get promoted, we need a left back, a Vestergaard replacement who won't get done for pace. We can start to address this in January. We need to keep our current first team and some of our bench. If we keep everyone, incliding loanees, we have 12 or more outfield players ready to be part of a premier league squad.
