Stottie Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 A door-opening AM like Maddison certainly offers something we don't have. If we are increasingly looking at playing against 10 men behind the ball, then yes, he could be very useful. (still salivating at the prospect of Maxi, Isak, and Trippier at RM at the same time to be honest) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they will be safely out of any relegation threat in Jan, Maddison is literally the reason they're better than those teams you mentioned , they would be ridiculously dumb to sell him in Jan unless for some crazy money Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emotic Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The only hope we have is that Leicester need to sell to buy, and that they can cash Maddison and Tielemans in for maximum return in January. I wouldn't mind either, and I feel that at least one of the two will be sold in January. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 The owners will see we are on the cusp of getting into Europe (ahead of schedule) and will give us whatever we need to get that top 6 finish. Only FFP can hold us back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lotus Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Nice to see a club like Leicester sticking by Rodger’s tbh. It seems customary to can a manager at the first sign of trouble despite what they’ve done for the club. Rodger’s has had a very good few seasons with them and I’m happy he’s been given the chance to turn their form around. Hope they’re stupid enough to sell us Ndidi though….

Kanji Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Really bummed about Krafth’s knee injury, like. Would be nice to have him playing backup for Trips. Manquillo is a gifted player who came on pretty damn well last season before Targett came in but he’s so woefully injury prone and rusty right now. Jan for me: 1. Backup RB 2. Attacking mid 3. Holding mid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
geordie_b Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 In theory could a player be signed during the WC break, train with the squad but not play until January? If the selling club is willing we have the opportunity to give new signings a mini preseason and get up to speed quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manq has barely played this season, not sure we can rely on him being fit. Could really do with a right back to rotate in otherwise Trippier is going to have play close to 50 games this season if England go far and he's going down injured every game at the moment Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only FFP can hold us back. I actually disagree with this, I dont think the initial plan for January will have changed much if at all due to where we are in the league. I dont expect Howe will want to bring in extra numbers in the hope of staying where we are, so much of his philosophy seems to be heavily structured around squad harmony/man management and we've seen the evidence of how good he is at this (Miggy being the latest example). Imo its a risk to go out and sign 3/4 extra players and expect them to bed in the squad quickly in January more so when you consider our current league position, the team flying in the league might not make it any easier to get them gelling in decent time.. as we know more good players does not always equal a higher league finish. Getting the balance right will be very important on keeping up this momentum. What I think will change though is some of the targets we were looking at, we might be aiming a bit higher than we were during the summer now.. I do think we will go back for in Maddison though.
