What do we need in January?

Is there any world where Jack Grealish becomes available for loan?  I’m sure the majority of clubs in the league would take him. 

Absolutely - but that world would need to be a world where the other “top 6” and Villa do not exist anymore🤣

Aren't Palace and Lyon owned by the same fella? Surely goes there, add in not wanting to strengthen other relegation candidates

Possibly, a few Lyon players will probably rock up at Palace in January because Textor has left them in financial shit.

I thought Textor was trying to get out of Palace and they aren't really working in the same way anymore?

Saw him for forest v arsenal in the fa cup a few years ago and he was outstanding. On loan from middlesborough then. Seems to have disappeared since then

Had injuries in 2023. Don't know if he's fully recovered yet. A few loans but may not be the same player as he was.

Rumours that he was considering selling his stake, but it seems to be a bit of a confusing mess atm.

I think we should be in for Latte Lath - cracking player and good finisher.

Really like the look of Chakvetadze at Watford in the inside left, dewsbury-hall type number 8 position.

I wouldn't be averse to the Lindelof rumour as he might help us organise and move to a fluid back 3 / 4 formation which Ruud wants to play. If there's value to be had in the Dutch league and we can get players off the back of Ruud's reputation then i'm all for it.

I don't think bringing Souttar back is a good idea. He's never seemed a good fit for Leicester and is a championship player i think. 

I would leave Cannon at Stoke for the season, also just in case we find ourselves back there. Having a striker with 20 goals under his belt with a middling side is a great insurance policy should the worst come to the worse .

We should definitely look to get Alves a championship loan with the likes of Luton who really helped Dewsbury-Hall.

His name was on my radar under Enzo and I ruled him out because he's only 5ft 8 and I thought back then (and still do) that we need an all round tall and physical striker.

 

However, he's so so good. He's actually very adept at scoring headers and very versatile. 

 

I'd be amazed if he wasn't being scouted by us given we will have covered Brondby exclusively in the past. They have some very exciting young players. Bischoff being another one.

Abdukodir Khusanov's really looking the part this season under Will Still.

Take a look at Kwadwo Baah of Watford too, along with Chakvetadze, he has been my favourite Watford player to watch this season.

A defender I really hope we’re looking at.
 

Good to see him actually getting consistent game time this season, he had a few performances last season where he looked the business.

BIG January needed if this Newcastle game is anything to go by. New recruits required in every area of the pitch. And for the love of Christ, please sell Wout Faes. I don’t think anyone likes to see that Clown in a Leicester shirt.

[Tuna]

We have to get this right, no more Tete and Souttar disaster signings

[moore_94]

IF Stolarczyk is struggling to get back to match fitness and needs to go out on loan, we NEED a proper back up keeper

 

We cannot risk Mads getting any form of lengthy injury and have to be subjected to Ward for any extended period of time

[Safestandingfox]

Genuinely between 6-8 that could go straight in to keep us up

Forest getting in Navas in 23 was key for them staying up

[LFox99]

Whatever we do, we better have some signings through the door January 1st

Didn’t RVN say we have money to spend BUT we are not in a rush🤣🤣🤣

[FoxOnWheels]

A full back and a centre half, back up keeper, centre mid and attacker would probably need £50M for that atleast and that’s being savvy can’t see us having that big a budget

Pardon my ignorance but does a goalkeeper really need to get match fitness?

[JimJams]

We don't need a goalkeeper surely?

We just need top keep Ward away from the side.  Stolarczyk should be in contention for it, Iversen if Mads AND Stol aren't fit.  We don't need to be adding yet another keeper to the side to make it 5, whilst also presumably wanting someone to come in who is good enough to step in if we sold Mads next summer, who would also be happy to be on the bench and also won't cost a large fee.

All because Mads was out for 45 minutes.

Blokes recovering from a broken foot, he's going to need some time to get back the right level.

[splinterdream]

A decent defensive coach
