Bimpy474 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Well we were looking to get a CM in before this, so we need two now don't we ? It's such fun at the moment, while unlikely it would be hilarious if we did sign two centre midfielders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ll get someone on loan or a direct replacement. You’d think Leicester might be open to selling Tielemans as could leave on a free in the summer.

David Edgar Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I notice we have respected their name with this thread title. Getting desperate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemtizz Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 I wanted him gone when Eddie came in, and on 30 different occasions before that, but he did redeem himself last season. Great chance to get him off the books though and hopefully he's replaced. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Fwiw I wouldn't just expect cover to replace him. I'd be hoping we make a long term midfield signing - even if it's a loan-to-buy situation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Gordon’s arrival means Joelinton can focus his efforts centre midfield. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 4 minutes ago, Unbelievable said: I agree and have said as much last week. My point was that he’s not “completely done at this level”. There is a PL after him as it turns out. Ah. When I said "at this level" I meant top 6, not PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 7 minutes ago, Yorkie said: He would inevitably have secured himself another contract as there'll be plenty of games to choose from when he returns from injury. That's why I'm surprised he's so willing to go to Forest. Guess they must be willing to match his wages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Howe said we where short with Shelvey out injured, surely we are bringing someone in to replace him. Especially have Howe said there was no chance he was leaving last week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Bruno, Joelinton, Longstaff, Willock + 1 more. Also worth bearing in mind that Isak and Gordon can play number 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 We’re an injury/ loss of form or suspension away from having a very limited central midfield. Shelvey had got himself in top nick pre season and could have filled in. It’s an opportunity for us to upgrade and I can see us really going for this.
