Unless Brendan plays this; Barnes Vardy CDK Maddison N’Didi KDH Think the midfield would be a bit light in this configuration, could see it being KDH and Madders both as 8s with Ndidi as a single pivot behind him, the role he was so good at before his dip in form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could then potentially look at Eriksen on a free to have an extra option in midfield. Maddison can play a free role and KDH can be that box to box busy body. I’d be intrigued to see how that would work….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be intrigued to see how that would work….. It would also leave us in an interesting position recruitment-wise. With said 433 becoming our main starting XI, we'd only really need to sign CMs for cover and not starters (even though Id like this to be the case) especially with no Europe and a limited number of games. Best case Callum Wright blows everyone away in pre-season and we get ourselves a gifted CM for free for the 2nd year running. Think the Eriksen ship has sailed, he won't want to be just an option, he'll want to play as much as possible and he can get that at Brentford and Spurs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MPH Posted 12 June 2022 Share Posted 12 June 2022 2 hours ago, lcfc sheff said: Because he can play in multiple positions, but Brendan wants him behind the striker mainly. We are after a right winger and CDK not just CDK. CDK to replace Perez, I’d imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't get me wrong, I really like Kele, but I just feel like his stint with us has run its course. With CDK potentially coming in, Kele could seriously see his minutes being limited whenever we do actually play with 2 strikers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka is our succession plan for Vardy, getting rid of him and then being left with an ageing Vardy and two players who aren't out and out strikers would be silly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very successful Newcastle with money to spend could be tempting to a Coach such as Naglesman who would relish the chance to go up against Klopp and Pep in this league. It was an opportunity that Howe could not resist taking on, but I think he is going to be there, every game, waiting to be shot at. Nagelsmann specifically has the job of his life at Bayern. He's supported them since he was a boy. I think Nagelsmann will be at Bayern for the considerably long term, unless something drastic happens like getting knocked out of the CL group stages in successive seasons or dropping out of the CL places in the league. I understand the point, though. If any big name coach flutters their eyelashes at Newcastle in the near future, they'll ditch Howe on the premise that he can't fulfill their ambitions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madness to let him go, Kelechi though is probably an asset that we could recoup our money and add funds to our “rebuild”.

Popular Post coolhandfox Posted 12 June 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 12 June 2022 Daka got 11 goals in all comps in his first season. Nacho has scored 11 or more once in 5 season at lcfc. Daka scored 5 PL goals in his first season. Nacho has only scored 5 PL goals or more in 2of his 5 seasons with us. I'd keep both but think Daka will be more useful long term. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DezFox Posted 13 June 2022 Share Posted 13 June 2022 There was another reply on that thread but again not sure if it’s reliable, probably not but it google translated to ”Milan's current difficulty for De Keteleare is due to the fact that Bruges has offered 40m from Leicester Milan plans to work hard on the player's will and it seems he also met his parents To date we have no other information” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
