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. But Shelvey did. And so I disagree. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could and should have developed into a complete midfield player, had injuries and a lack of ambition not stalled his career. I still like him better than Gallagher, albeit based on casual observation. 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.

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...

You write them off after one season? It's the kind of thinking that allowed Liverpool to snap up Robertson from Hull and Gini from us while others were snoozing, and go on to win a Premier League title and a Champions League with both playing major roles.

I haven't written anyone off. Just saying most of them have been shite this season. I am aware that good players can be plucked from relegated sides, but usually the narrative is around one or two of them - particularly if they've played well despite the circumstances around them. Wijnaldum had a decent season for us that year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 Barnes is a finisher and has great movement. I don't rate his all-round game much. I like him but would prefer a left-footer Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Leicester could end up having a lot of good players to pick from that have had multiple good seasons in the league and we should try to take full advantage, and not overreact to this past season, which has certainly been a strange one for them.

I like him but would prefer a left-footer Harvey Barnes is a strange one for me too. He can look so dangerous at times, but then also be quite wasteful and poor with his decision making at times too. I wouldn't be mad at the signing though, as Howe and his staff tend to get the best from players. I'm with you on preferably getting a left footer in for the wide positions, as we only have Miggy at the moment. I actually really liked the look of that Brazilian (Tete) they bought from Lyon when he was over in France. He started well for Leicester too but not sure if he's still been playing.

That would depend on the price, probably too expensive for what he would be worth to us right now. But it would make sense to me, if we are buying a forward, might as well buy a centre forward (which is the main position of the guys we are linked with anyway) and have Isak be the one to play anywhere in front 3.

Never see him beat a man, cross (well) or pass it well. Run and shoot. Movement. That's his game. Him & ASM for the left. Almiron & Gordon on the right. It's good but it doesn't scream Champions League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
