Sankey93 Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 We need a solid CM who can dominate midfield and a striker who can be very physical and quick who can Cause problems and be a force which we are lacking! Liam Trotter ? Kenwyne Jones ? Any suggestions ?
Mark_w Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 No, no we don't. If we're playing 3-5-2/5-3-2 then James, King, Drinkwater, Danns, Marshall and Knockaert are perfectly good options. Nugent has consistently got around 15 goals a season for us, Wood got 20 in the Championship last year. Vardy is showing signs of improvement and Waghorn did well when called upon last season.
Guest Sharpe's Fox Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 Nope, and even if we did we couldn't afford it.
Harry - LCFC Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 What we need is our strikers and midfielders to perform - which they can! It's a bad habit to get into when you see a problem and instantly think to look for a replacement. Try and fix what you already have (not that it's broken anyway).
dorsetfox Posted 11 August 2013 Posted 11 August 2013 tbh i sort of agree halfway i do feel we have no presence or physical presence up front i would love to see kenwyne jones here to play alongside nugent who can get the knock downs i also feel we lack a little creativity in the middle not so much a hard man james played well i thought i also feel we lack pace going forward if i was pearson then i would do this sign jones and go 3-5-2 with the following a 3-5-2 --------------------------------------kasper----------------------------- ------------moore----------------morgan-------------whitbread de laet-------------------------------------------------------dyer --------------------drinkwater---------------james--------------------- ----------------------------------knocky--------------------------------- -------------------jones--------------------------nugent-----------------

In fact all we really lack anymore is the defensively solid attacking left back that we've wanted for a couple of seasons now (you could say the need's even greater now that we're doing this 3-5-2 experiment). Of course it's possible we don't lack that at all: I have no idea about Bakayogo's abilities, but for now I'm under the impression that he's just a budget signing to provide a wider selection of backup options to Konchesky (a worrying notion, but something's better than nothing I guess) - if he were anything more than that I feel like Pearson would have given him some game time already.
Number 6 Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 The last thing we need to be doing is buying another striker. We have 2 who hit 35 between them last season, if we can't get them scoring then troubles lie elsewhere. Also strikers are the most expensive player to buy and we have a hat full of them.
Nick Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 From what I saw, if we play a formation that requires pace and quality then the pace and quality should start and not be used as subs. My main concern from the Leeds game is Whitbread - he does lots well but always seems liable to give away a penalty which we can't afford to do in tight games.
chris_lcfc_85 Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 We defo dont need anymore strikers. Yesterday our strikers had little service, not hardly one decent cross in or through ball etc, creativity must improve
newbie123 Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Vardy - 10+ with regular games Nuge - 13+ with regular games Wood - 10+ with regular games Futacs - well then.... Waggy - 8+ with regular games Scluupp, Slupp, Sclupp Jeff - 10+ with regular games
Alex_LCFC Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 We jst need knocky playing in a psition were he can create chances for wood and nuge up front
BlueFox55 Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 We just need someone in the middle who is solid defensively, like Austin was for leeds, to allow more creative players to have more license to attack and be positive rather than just preventing giving the ball away. I think matty James at his best can be that player, and whoever plays in the advanced midfield role can concentrate on creating chances rather than defensive duties
Nift Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Lacking a forward with real raw pace, a James Vaughan like player. Yes we do need a CM who can break up the play and deliver, back in the day Wellens was that man.
lgfualol Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 I don't think we need either. Maybe a winger that will be as creative as Knocky is. I really get embarrassed watching the "kick up pitch" way that we play. Or the "pass 10000 times before we can shoot" thing.
foxfanazer Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Don't think we got bossed in the midfield against Leeds to be honest so no major concern there for me. I also think the strikers we have are good enough. Obviously I'd love us to sign a new striker that will bag us 20 goals but it just isn't going to happen If anything I'd say we need a creative winger because we lack imagination at times
MPH Posted 12 August 2013 Posted 12 August 2013 Im Sorry did the OP refer to Kenwyne Jones as being quick? What a way to nullify your whole post!
