Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury is being considered for a late loan deal by Watford and Newcastle United.

The England Under-21 international has impressed with his versatility, playing in an unfamiliar centre-back role after being called upon during a defensive injury crisis.

 

Can we afford the loan fee this time?

FFS.

That would be massively underwhelming after a lot of the names we have been loosely linked with.  But still an improvement on our pathetic midfield.

 

If it is true that Howe wants proven Premier League players.  Then I kind of get that and it probably is important in the position we are in that they can at least get up to speed straight away.  But if we're going to be signing the likes of Choudhury.  Then I think I'd rather we took a punt on someone from abroad.

Bloke is total dog shite. Thought he was a total car crash playing centre back the other night. 

 

Had a good laugh when commentator said that Rodgers told him that "he's going to be his Mascherano". Couldn't get any more Brent.

 

Tbh, I was hoping Bruce would succeed in getting him in during the summer. Not because he's a good footballer, just that he was a midfielder who might close down the opposition players and win the ball now and then. We still don't have one of those.

Wich loan deals could improve us untill the season ends?

 

Hearing Choudhury and Loftus-Cheek mentiond today. Would they improve us?

 

Who else could be useful?

It's the easiest thing to say that anybody will be an improvement on a like for like basis, but we are so far behind we need massive wholesale improvement. A balance between reliable, oven ready PL plodders and a little bit of quality might be the recipe.

What is really shocking is that you could argue before the window, the whole spine of the team was missing. A keeper who has been making mistakes, no decent CB, no competent CM, and with Wilson crocked, no CF either. 

 

So basically a team with the backbone of a jellyfish.

I'd rather him than Lingard. I just don't think you can expect Lingard to re-bottle the lightning that made him so impressive last season at West Ham. Alli has more potential and is a bit of a better fit for the players we have right now.


 

please god no, I absolutely detest him.

Strange that a player of that quality would be available on loan, his contract runs out in 2023 so maybe would be a better idea hoy a bid in.

 

West Ham were linked with him a few weeks back, the price was £14m, so probably 30 for us..

Players like Lingard and Dele Alli are icing on the cake type players, they are not going to cover the cracks of having Shelvey and Longstaff sauntering around the pitch aimlessly.

 

We need to be looking at players who can protect the defence

Alli, Cantwell, Lingard are all potenital QPR-esq disasters. 

 

Isn't Alli notoriously a bad trainer? Just can't see Howe into him if so. 

 

If lingard doesn't want to be here and has his mind set on west ham he could be awful. A shit 3 month stint here won't stop West Ham signing him for nothing and a good run of form starting next season will still get him into the England squad. I want players that want to be here.

 

While they could all terrible if we could get them motivated any one of them could also keep us up. Any other club maybe, we know our luck.

They can't fix the midfield issues, but they could provide the goals that Fraser and Almiron just aren't capable of. Play them off Wood for a double up chance of scoring?
