TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 If we do get European football, we will need quite a few bodies through the door. I would expect the club to secure two ‘high-value’ targets e.g. Maddison. Another 3-4 will be more opportunistic, such as from teams who have been relegated or free-agents. I don’t think Tielemans would succeed in an Eddie Howe team, fine player mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of deadwood on our books still out on loan or not good enough in our current squad. Appreciate we can't move on and bring in to high numbers as its not always convenient, but agree with you that three seems not enough to make a squad that competes on a number of fronts.

sushimonster85 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's going to all depend on what form of European football it is. If it's Europa or Conference I think 3 would be fine. If it's CL I think the only way 3 would work is if they're 3 Bruno/Botman/Isak type signing who are good enough to easily go into the 11 and improve us.

gbandit Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Least surprising link ever, given our previous interest. Would be fairly surprised if he doesn’t end up here if they get relegated. Who else would go for him that he’d want to go to? Villa? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitley mag Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Can’t help but think Connor Gallagher will just end up like a Loftus-Cheek, there’s obviously talent there but think we can do a lot better and cheaper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arsenal have some pretty solid depth in attack and Balogun is due to come back from loan for next season after tearing up Ligue 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Loftus-Cheek looked an incredible prospect when he first came on the scene, technically superb. He could and should have developed into a complete midfield player, had injuries and a lack of ambition not stalled his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Tielemens would be class, especially in those home games when we have plenty of the ball. We could move Bruno forward and it would give us two "door openers" in midfield. In those trickier away games, he could be rotated out for someone more physical. Home: Tielemans Bruno Willock Away: Bruno Longstaff Joelinton Loads of options. I suspect he's got a big contract lined up somewhere though. Probably Arsenal.

TheBrownBottle Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It's striking how many of Leicester's players every top half club's supporters are looking forward to signing, given just how shite they are and have been this season. Tielemans in particular hasn't looked much cop for some time to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 I love Barnes. He's direct as fuck, can finish and would be great on the left. I'd prefer him to Madison as he's more suited to our formation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
