I wouldn’t be surprised to see Iheanacho move on and Vardy is slowly edging towards retirement. Hirst isn’t pulling up trees at Portsmouth and we don’t really have any out and out strikers coming through at the minute. Other than Daka we don’t have a definite plan for the future outside the next 12 months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 6 January 2022 Share Posted 6 January 2022 4 hours ago, Chocolate Teapot said: I would Ric. I'd even go as far as saying a centre back on loan is unlikely and would only happen in the last week. Oh yes, I don't doubt that's the likelihood as teams tend not to get loan deals across the line until the latter part of the window and especially with the uncertainty of covid and this month the 25 man PL squad is suspended until the window closes, however the urgency of an additional CB is right now and it potentially becomes less urgent the longer this month goes on. I think we'd be better served looking abroad anyway, easier to attain a player IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be one to go for on a loan to buy but Liverpool will push for a mandatory purchase rather than option to buy.

I thought he looked their best player when we played them earlier in the season. I know that’s not saying a lot but he’s only 23 and looks like a Rodgers type of signing. Young who can develop his game with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 7 January 2022 Share Posted 7 January 2022 Phillips would be OK but the problem is Liverpool, they'll bleed you for every penny they can, we paid £12mil for a backup keeper last time we bought from there. Think Eriksen will end up at Brentford. Strong Danish contingent already and they don't really have anyone quite like him, and also London. He'll be seen as a gamble for many. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems from the outside that his contract situation has limited his game time. Having said that, I don't think another naturally left sided player is the answer.

Fox85 Posted 7 January 2022 Share Posted 7 January 2022 Year after year after year we always see teams improving their squads in and around us in January while we wait and do nothing. I think its mad that no money gets saved to do business in January if we had been sensible in the last few summers it might not of cost us 2 top 4 places. It's like we just can't compete with the other teams in the prem anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted 7 January 2022 Share Posted 7 January 2022 James Hill signs for Bournemouth I do hope we're still scouting in the lower leagues, plenty of young talent down there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We, like all clubs, would like the opportunity to delve into our accounts when we wish and in the last two campaigns, we would not have seen January acquisitions as a necessity. The fact that we failed to get the fourth spot twice on the last day, when we had clearly had an advantage with points on the board, was not down to a lack of a January buy, but poor game and player management from the manager. The situation might be a bit different this time round, we have a crisis in our backline in regards to availability, I have little or no confidence that players will be available or up to speed for the run in, and that might force our hand in procuring a player, not necessarily via a loan agreement. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look back on the history of this forum and it will state just that. January is a tough window but other teams are able to make good signings to keep them afloat to see the season out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daggers Posted 7 January 2022 Share Posted 7 January 2022 With 13 available outfield players, I genuinely expected this window to be the busiest in a long time. Staggered that we hadn’t set up one or two to hit the ground running with when the window opened. Even more so now we’re into it with a runaway snowball of matches approaching. It smells of a lack of ambition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benkovic is one which will likely make way, but for anyone else to be brought in someone else would have to be removed from the squad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no huge budget and equally of the quality we require they're not likely to be available on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
