Can only have 2 PL players on loan at one time and max of 1 from any club 

Send Edouard back. Keep Bounanotte. Bring in Zirkzee.

I think our main problem is we can’t sell them. If we sell them at a loss will damage our PL meaning no point in selling unless we get a silly offer.

 

 

but as we all are aware we seemingly struggle to sell players at the moment 

Why would you leave Leicester?

 

Good wages and fantastic facilities. 

 

I think the players come with the right attitude to further themselves career wise. Fail to improve to a standard where a dream move will happen. It's such an highly competitive league. And then they make themselves comfortable.

 

Take Ndidi for example. He came, reached a level. Wasn't picked up by a bigger club and had settled in. He was even prepared to play Championship football for a year.

We need defenders,

our back 4 is shocking. We should be looking at getting players in Jan on loan who are established (ala Huth in 2014)…players that arent making the first 11 but want to play….

 

- Willy Boly

- Maguire

- Chilwell

- Mings

- Tierney

KDH rescue job needs to be on the cards

Buendia on loan, might be worth a go not part of Villa's plan. He was good for them before his injury last season. Another attacking option.

yes yes yes!!!  Now this would be a perfect bit of business.

Was digging through PSV’s statistics while Ruud was there, three key elements stood out for me on what he could potentially bring to Leicester City…

 

1) All of PSV’s defenders ranked highly for successful passes, successful forward passes, successful passes to final third and successful progressive passes. Playing out from the back could be just as important as we saw under Maresca, especially as Ruud said his own philosophies have similarities to Enzo. It wouldn’t surprise me if we see the return of the inverted full-back into central midfield scenario again, he used it at PSV, while they still have two players on their books in Richard Ledezma and Mauro Junior who can operate that role, could we see one of them rock up at the KP in January 🤔

 

2) Wingers. From what he played at PSV he seems to like one technical winger capable of drifting in as a 10, while the other winger provides the pace and 1 vs 1 ability. This would be absolutely perfect for Buonanotte to play RW and Mavididi to play LW. Ideally we need a replacement for Fatawu in January, but it very much has to be a winger capable of excelling in 1 vs 1 situations. 
 

3) Striker. He had Luuk de Jong at PSV, albeit a Premier League reject, he had a pretty successful season under Ruud. One thing that stood out for me though was his aerial statistics, he was one of the best strikers in the Eredivisie when it came to battling aerial duels. If we are to get a striker in January, it could well be someone in the mould of a target man who excels in the air. 
 

Breaking it down, it feels like 4-5 signings are an absolute must in January.

 

1 RB - Either an attacking RB or someone who can invert into a back three or in midfield.

1 LB - Personally I feel this needs to be someone capable of inverting, either as a CB or in midfield. 
1 WG - Someone with pace who excels in 1 vs 1.

1 ST - Possibly a target man who is good in aerial duels. 
 

The potential 5th signing would be a RCB for me, all depending on Faes’s form through December.

As @CosbehFox points out though, if Bounanotte plays RW the team really need to be better equipped at protecting the right side of defence. 

 

i know last season we'd invert the full back from the right but we had Fatawu who could run the defensive side of the entire flank on his own against most teams we faced. It was suspect on occasion but at this level we won't ever have that luxury.

100% agree we need a Huth type defender to sort us out for 6 months. Genuinely think the nearest we'd find to that would be bringing slab head back on loan

I hope we get some answers throughout December lol because of course protecting that right side of defence is the biggest conundrum Ruud has to deal with. 
 

From an offensive standpoint I just feel we’d be far more exciting with both Buonanotte and El Khannouss in the team, but then as you say, from a defensive standpoint the right side could be left vulnerable again. 
 

He could well do a Maresca by inverting the RB, in our case atm this would have to be Choudhury. Use El Khannouss a little deeper out of possession, then have him push up as a 8/10 when in possession. Something like this…

 

El Khannouss - Skipp/Winks

McAteer - Buonanotte - Mavididi 

Vardy 

 

Turning into this when in possession…

Choudhury - Skipp/Winks

McAteer - Buonanotte - El Khannouss - Mavididi 

Vardy 

 

Then sign an inverted RB and a carbon copy of Fatawu in January.

I've been told we have shown interest in Joe Scally.

 

Good player, wouldn't cost the earth either £10-15m max, I think he's better than Justin.
