Keegans Export Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 It's a mad situation but anyone we sign is going to have to be pretty good to dislodge any of our current starting XI. I'm not even sure where Isak is going to fit in when he's back. I guess I need to get away from thinking about a "Starting XI" - which for a number of years was a few nailed-on starters and 8-9 who I thought very little of and didn't care whether they played or not. If we're going to compete on multiple fronts we really need 18-20 players who are all good enough to start, plus 5-7 squad players who you wouldn't want to rely on but are good enough to come in during cup games or cover short-term injury/suspension.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 I just can’t see Leicester selling Maddison in January for any price, especially if they’re still towards the bottom of the table. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Me neither tbh. Maddison and Enzo Fernandez next summer Probably my dream signing for CM. Would be content with Merino too… Edited October 30, 2022 by Ikon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted October 30, 2022 Share Posted October 30, 2022 Next signing is so important in terms of not upsetting the balance. My concern isn’t so much about our starting 11 anymore, it’s more about how we could cope with certain players getting injured, Trippier for 1.. and then Bruno, you just can’t replace them from what we have currently.

My concern isn’t so much about our starting 11 anymore, it’s more about how we could cope with certain players getting injured, Trippier for 1.. and then Bruno, you just can’t replace them from what we have currently. This is why someone like Maddison would be important. If Bruno gets injured, at least we have some craft from midfield. Shelvey is an able deputy in the "6" position and while not being as good, it's the same for all good players and good sides. Liverpool would struggle without Van Dijk, City without De Bruyne, Spurs without Kane. Etc. We can't live in too much fear that good players will get injured. Trippier is mainly a risk because Krafth is also injured, who again is an able deputy, when available. The issue is when you have Bruno AND Trippier AND Wilson, for example but again it's the same for everyone. You have to try and have the best squad you can and hope for a bit of luck. From a transfer perspective, I like the idea of Maddison because he could play where Miggy is or where Longstaff is. He's an elite player who can play in a couple positions, which is rare.
