Fennec-Fox Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Don't ask again, 'fans' like you don't add anything to this forum, same as the ones that comment on Facebook or Twitter about Mahrez. We've made him the player he is, so have some respect. He's not good enough for baca yet anyway, needs another consistent season before the big move in my opinion "We've made him the player he is" ... well one might say he too contributed to make you the team you are. Be humble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST20 Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 "We've made him the player he is" ... well one might say he too contributed to make you the team you are. Be humble. It certainly is a bit of both. Things have aligned so perfectly this season it just feels so right having him in this Leicester team. Also, why is Feghouli leaving a team like Valencia?

Richmondfox Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Some interesting free agents in the summer: Steve Mandanda Gregory van der Wiel Martin Demichelis John Terry Patrice Evra Sofiane Feghouli Riccardo Montolivo Ever Banega Fernando Torres Which ones would you take? If any? Feghouli and Van Der Wiel are the two that would walk into our team and improve it, both with plenty of experience and ability. All the others are at the end of their career and ability has dropped rapidly season after season. It would be being blinded by their name and history rather than what they can add. People talk about Ibra having an ego, he has an ego as he has constantly performed with his incredible talent at every club he has been at. As he's gotten older he's changed his style and still performed, he's not a trouble maker and wouldn't be a bad influence in the club at all. It would never happen but would be amazing, Vardy and Ibra leading the line. I would think he'd end up at Utd if Jose goes there but then the next season must be his last chance at CL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think he'd end up at Utd if Jose goes there but then the next season must be his last chance at CL I think we've got to be very careful with our signings. Just because VDW is a better player individually than Simpson doesn't mean it will improve us as a unit. Likewise with Fegouli and Albrighton. Remember Albrighton does a lot of defensive work maybe Fegouli wouldn't do. I have complete faith and trust in SW to find us the right players to improve us. Players like Ibra and Benteke are unrealistic. They are both paid over £140k a week, we can probably afford it but it wouldn't be fair on our current players. I would rather pay Mahrez £120k a week than Benteke for example. If we do sign a big name I can't see us paying more than £100k a week tops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AKCJ Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Lets not forget that Van Der Weil couldn't get into the Dutch squad for the World Cup with Daryl Janmaat taking his place... He's not really that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronnup Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 I think Walcott and the Ox are both interesting. I'd love to see either, Theo with JV up front and the Ox instead in behind him or wide right. Both will be very close to giving up on being part time players and need a move. We can offer Champions league, they won't go to Spurs. Why not?

AjcW Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 I'm of the belief that if Theo got the chance to play 30+ games a season up front he'd get a goal every 2 games. He was a striker.. Arsenal and England ruined him... would be nice to see if we could revive that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lgfualol Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Walcott could actually work for us but he's Arsenal's third highest earner on 140k a week, dont think we'll go over 100k a week for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 I don't have a lot of intensive knowledge of foreign players therefore can't offer an informed opinion. However, I'm not a great advocate of signing players on the way down who have had more prestigious clubs and huge salaries. For that reason the likes of Benteke and Walcott would be a no from me as both would have the feeling of being forced here to some extent. I'd much rather us sign up and coming players from lesser teams or leagues who have it all to do and all to prove. We don't need to try and find a £400k Mahrez every time but £15-£20m on players like : http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3435402/Leicester-City-join-chase-exciting-French-winger-Ousmane-Dembele.html http://www.eatsleepsport.com/leicester-city/foxes-scout-watches-20m-rated-embolo-1990415.html#/.VvPOEuKLRhE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sylofox Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Anyone fancy Walcott ? Still a bit cold and windy this time of the year. Cromer would be better more to do but Walcott will be fine come July. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkon84 Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Walcott, to put it politely, is absolutely terrible. So much potential at one stage, but so little improvement... and that's just in general, before we even get started on his actual ability on the field. Besides, as stated by someone above, he's on about 140k per week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.Lisemore Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 Almost as bad as Oxlade-Chamberlain. Sofiane Feghouli would be my shout if we were to sign a winger to replace Dyer. Top UCL player with international experience, also gets on well with our Riyad. Edit - Didn't see Feghouli has already been mentioned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly a great player but I agree that he has unfulfilled potential. Wages aside and if he could stay fit he'd be a quality addition for us due to his style of play, but too many factors pointing for us not to sign him. But yeah he's not a terrible player haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's never done anything of note, despite all the potential and being at supposedly one of the best clubs in the world for bringing youth on. The majority of the time when he gets it out wide, he fails to get it in the box, and when he plays up front, he doesn't have the instinctive decision making to react quick enough to either put the ball away or lay someone else in. He's a player with no position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was average when we were bottom of the league, he's still average when we're top. What the hell has changed? Nothing . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 I don't recall Walcott ever playing left-side of a 3. Seems like having him cut in from the left seems the most logical place to play him as there never seems anyone to cross to. Walcott Sanchez Ozil Welbeck So for us: Walcott Number 10 Mahrez Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkon84 Posted 24 March 2016 Share Posted 24 March 2016 You don't believe he is only doing what he's asked to do on the field? You mean failing to beat the first man with a cross, or fluffing one on ones? As much as it looks like Wenger tries to get himself sacked at times, I doubt he'd go that far . Besides, players aren't robots. Yes they will have in-game instructions, but things change and believe it or not, they are capable of, and have to make decisions for themselves.
