Manwell Pablo Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 I think it's easy to forget how had it is to score more than 15 goals in that league Lee. To put it into perspective only Liverpools free scoring strikers and Yaya Toure have managed it at this point in the season. The likes of RVP, Benteke, Lambert, are looking like their going to fall short. Most strikers at bottom half clubs are absloutley nowhere near.

Lineker's Left Foot Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Thorgan Hazard (loan) Yes please.. his brother Eden admits he is better than him. I can see Aaron Cresswell and Tom Cleverley coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Nads Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Robert Snodgrass from Norwich, good winger and seems a very competent set-piece taker which we lack. Yeah, I've always thought he is a great player. He always played well against us when he was at Leeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSpaM Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Yeah, I've always thought he is a great player. He always played well against us when he was at Leeds. Not sure why he'd leave Norwich though? He's been a first team regular this season hasn't he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Nads Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 This is maybe a reach, but I think Javier Hernández would be perfect for the way we play. He reminds me of a small eared Gary Lineker! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterpool Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Maybe Darren Bent if Fulham go down?? He belongs to Villa i believe and i'm not sure when his contract runs out he's currently on £60k a week at Villa, Believe me he's not worth it! He's one of these players who expects to have it on his plate for him, his work rate is abysmal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eye666 Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Think we need the following to supplement our current squad (and bearing in mind the players who will on their way out): Back-up GK, starting LB, back-up RB, strong CB, midfield beast, winger, striker - so at least 7 players. Byron for competition at right-back, Cresswell for left-back, if Cardiff go down then Caulker would be a shout. Mutch as others have mentioned would be another good signing. Looking at some Prem teams and the physicality of the league, the one type of player I'd love us to sign is a physical 6'3"+ centre midfielder - someone with presence in the middle: basically a poor man's Toure... Play them alongside Drinky and James/King so they can work their magic and I'd be confident we could do well. Going to be one interesting summer and I can't wait to see what Nige and co. do with the cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martyn Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 This is maybe a reach, but I think Javier Hernández would be perfect for the way we play. He reminds me of a small eared Gary Lineker! Would love it, but far too many big clubs would be interested in him if he became available, and not just in this country... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webbo Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 I can't see us getting an awful lot of people we know. Not with Pearson and Walsh's track record I think you're right, maybe Ross McCormack if Pearson thinks he'd do a job for us otherwise some obscure foreigners.

EnglishOxide Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 His point is atleast 100x more relevant than yours? If we followed by your management, signed 2 and sold the players who cannot break into the first 11 we would go into next season with Less than 23 players anyway... What are you talking about man? Danns, Whitbread, Gallagher haven't been part of our squad for a long time, and at no point have we required them. GTF Hammond, Logan, Phillips and even Miquel have all regularly been on the bench. SSL is also off, massive question marks about the likes of King, Konch and others stepping up, If we only sign two players, I will donate £50 to a charity of your choice. Lets say we get rid of Hammond, Phillips and GTF. We will need a fourth striker to make up 4 (Djordevic was touted in Jan). We then need a midfielder to make up 4 again (Cleverley would be a coup). That leaves us with: Kasper Logan Smith Wes Was Moore Miquel (maybe?) Konch Schluup RDL King Clev James DD Mahrez Dyer Knockaert Wood Vardy Nugent Djordevic Now that's 21, assuming Hammond and GTF leave. In my opinion the remaining few places should be up for grabs for the lads in the U21 team. We don't need a big squad, we have done well with a core of about 20 this season with the likes of Phillips and Konch unhappy at not even making the bench, and that's with more games to play. By going for only 2 players (possibly 3 to cover Miquel) we don't fall into the trap of spunking money for the sake of spunking money. Nigel retains his key to teamwork (smaller squad, strong ethic). We then get to January and re assess where we are. Our current crop have earned the right to give it a go, do you honestly think, as runaway leaders this season that we will struggle next season in what has been a very poor bottom half of the Premiership? Money isn't everything, just because we have it it doesn't mean we have to go spending it on half a new team that aren't guaranteed to be better than our starting eleven as it is. People are suggesting Darren Bent ffs, the man has not been any good since he left Charlton and is far from a hard grafter. We should be setting our sights higher and playing the long game. Thank god for Pearson, i really hope he sticks to his trend of building slowly. We do not want to end up like Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Nads Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Not sure why he'd leave Norwich though? He's been a first team regular this season hasn't he? Yes, that's true, but If we went after him for the right price I think he's a realistic target. There's a good team spirit at Leicester, we run club and its a good club to play for. Players in other teams must see that. If we have an offer accepted, I don't think we will struggle to attract the players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bettsj2 Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Danny Gabbidon to replace Wes and David Dunn would add much needed experience in our midfield as I imagine Hammond wont be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 James is imo a midfield presence, what we are lacking is a playmaker imo, someone that can play in the Number 10 role you could argue that Knockaert/ Mahrez in time perhaps could fufill that role I don't know how possible signing someone like Suso from Liverpool would be?

I'd be surprised if we didn't start the season with at least 23 first team players. We don't have the contingency of emergency loans like you do in the football league and also Nigel isn't a massive fan of signing players in January so he'll want his squad sorted as early as possible. I'd not be surprised to see us agree deals for 2-3 players within the next few weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 31 March 2014 Share Posted 31 March 2014 Is a LB a priority now? with Schlupp's emergence doing a very good job imo and Konchesky as a back up I don't think it is a priority position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
