Nick Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Are people still thinking a player like Zaha would improve the side? Just interested to know what people thing atm. Anybody still dreaming of a Ziyech as well? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Unless it's a winger signing, any player coming in is going to be a fringe player to start with. Very much like when we won the league 4 years ago. I'm sure we'll look at centre backs as well but I'd be shocked if an established player like Dunk, Ake or even Demirhal would come here to sit onnthe bench or as 4th choice and not even on the bench for the rest of the season. Given how well we are doing I don't think we'll bring any players in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Probably not one for January but I would love to see us really establish our credentials by going and taking a player who’s the jewel in the crown of another Premier League side. For once, not going for the young with potential at a smaller price option but spending to take away someone’s best player who is already proven in England. Imagine if we’d taken players like Wjinaldum and Mane the summer after we won the league rather than Mendy and Musa. We need someone who can be creative and play wide. Go and get Grealish from Villa with the promise of Champions League football and the chance to come and play with his mates Maddison and Chilwell.

Pliskin Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 Adama Traore... Maybe unpopular but with the right kind of management I am convinced he would be a monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has caused an issue to every team he has faced this year including ourselves. Who cares if he can be a shitbag so can Vardy . Plus hes 'bros' with Madders and Chilly so it could work.

Summer is the time to strike carefully and bring in a top class wide player who will chip in with goals and assists. Signing people for the sake of it can sometimes upset the apple cart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is everyone in China, it's par for the course for any decent players that go there, that's why they go. It's not going to come down for a financial decision for guys like Carrasco, it will be a footballing one and down to whether they want to continue wasting the best years of their career in a footballing backwater. Carrasco is a great shout in all honesty and IMO attainable. Guys such as him and Lemar (who someone else on this thread suggested) are exactly the profile of player you should be after, young enough with it all still to prove yet with great pedigree already.

I think Grealish is a great player but I struggle to see how you would fit him, Maddison and Tielemans to an extent into the same side. He's too good a player to be shunted out wide and I think it would be a similar result as to when Maddison was played wide, unsuccessfully at the start of the season.

Played out wide against us on Sunday for the first half (scored and was heavily involved in the El-Ghazi chance / Douglas Luiz pull back) that Villa could/ should have scored 2 goals from. Moved inside and was extremely quiet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve only seen them a couple of times in all honesty this season and he’s played more centrally so was just basing it on that. Being aware of that now he would be an excellent signing for you guys in that case. Edited 10 December 2019 by henrik_62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajax have just been knocked out of the champions league so maybe a January move isn't off the cards. It's not like winning the Dutch league for the however-manyth time in a row is really worth sticking around for. This is the type of signing that could take us to the next level!

wardyfox86 Posted 10 December 2019 Share Posted 10 December 2019 If I keep saying it, it might become real. Takumi Minamino and Hwang Hee Chan from RB Salzburg. Minamino especially is incredible! Come on Jon, get it done! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's mostly used on the right but is given alot of freedom. He's pacey and could weave his way out of a crowded phone booth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJD_LCFC Posted 11 December 2019 Share Posted 11 December 2019 Zaha If price is realistic could be very good for us. OR Grealish would do well on the left. And Barnes moved to the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given the hyper-inflation in terms of transfers between EPL clubs and the fact Everton reportedly had an £80m bid knocked back a matter of months ago I don't think the price for Zaha is ever going to be realistic. Shopping in the EPL market should be a last resort for Leicester imo, very hard to find value and all your recent successes have been imports from abroad or the championship. If it ain't broke don't try and fix it. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
