As a player i'd pick Cantwell over Zinchenko everytime as he has more star quality/ability to improve the team in the long term but that's my opinion. Yes we struggled for depth last season and were finally starting to add some depth at the right positions and moving on the driftwood and long may it continue. As discussed by others on this forum the best way to improve the squad is to aim to purchase a better player at each position thus supplanting the previous incumbent and adding depth. Buying Zinchenko (how much would he cost? £10/15m?) doesn't improve our squad in any way as we already have Thomas/Fuchs/ to cover LB/LWB & enough CMs to shake a stick at. I'd rather give game time to Thomas/Dewsbury-Hall who will no doubt be on less than 20k per week and i consider on par in terms of ability. Before the close of the window we need to target the right areas such as impact quality winger & another CB if we go to 3 at the back, hence why i suggested getting a quality loan in. Noted, but I suppose that’s where we have to agree to disagree. Edited 2 October 2020 by NaijaFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gw_leics772 Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Just read link with gray to Leeds and it says man u are open to selling James for £25m and less wages than gray. Could he be a longer term Vardy successor? (don't watch any games as a neutral, just know there was a buzz around him up front early doors.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why Man Utd want rid so soon. He had a purple patch at the beginning of last season, but it's apparent now he's just a speed merchant with not much else in his locker. Avoid! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muzzy_Larsson Posted 2 October 2020 Share Posted 2 October 2020 Been a superb window when you think of the three players brought in. All three should prove to be definite upgrades to the starting eleven, Castagne already is, Fofana will be in time and able to contricbute already and Under looks to have a decent pedigree.

Before the season started, it was being described as threadbare by some; it was never that. But we have strengthened very well. By my reckoning , we have about fourteen top rate players with several able deputies. Besides replacing anyone who leaves (we will probably sell an expensive player next summer), imo our next acquisitions need to be a left footed left-hand and a striker. I would like to see us bring in two or three young home grown players to help keep a balance in the squad. If Cenghis brings some magic and Barnes moves on further, we might be able to hit 70 points this season. ...we will be on a lot more than that!!!

WigstonWanderer Posted 3 October 2020 Share Posted 3 October 2020 With Amartey and Mendy stepping up, 3 new players with 2 yet to play, and Ndidi & Pereira still to come back, we’ve got an incredible squad now. Quite happy to stick, just move on the ones who won’t be part of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 3 October 2020 Share Posted 3 October 2020 Whilst I think we now have a capable squad, if Vardy was to get injured for a long period of time, we would struggle big time. I think we need a young, dangerous striker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a young, dangerous striker It would be good, but I don't think I'd say it's crucial. I'm not sure we'd struggle any more than any other club would if they lost their best striker. Nacho's probably one of the best backup strikers in the league. I think he even matched Vardy's minutes per goal last season, didn't he? We'd probably find it pretty tough getting in someone better to sit on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matty98 Posted 4 October 2020 Share Posted 4 October 2020 Still think we need a creative winger that can play as a 10. Buendia ticks all the boxes but can't see us going for him. I'm convinced he'd be class for us though. His vision and weight of pass are exactly what we need to get the most out of Vardy and Barnes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
