moore_94 Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 Piroe, Kalimuendo, Cho… all actual strikers, CDK can also play upfront… Looks like we are after a new striker, not too sure why unless Nacho is leaving really, not sure we can fit 4 strikers in unless we got to a 2 up top system 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: Style of play is what's most important though, McBurnie is a classic old fashioned striker who gets on the end of crosses which many Championship clubs can prosper in. Piroe is a highly technical player that is evidently too good for the Championship but could still struggle in the PL, like the likes of Fabio Borini did having done very similar. You are being a bit too kind there to McBurnie imo Ric with the "old fashioned" description. Carthorse, donkey or something like that would be more fitting 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 12 April 2022 Share Posted 12 April 2022 There is tidy young German DM playing for Austria Vienna. Eric Martel -19 years old. Unfortunately on loan from RB Leipzig so probably no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 20-year-old came up through the ranks of the Turkish club’s youth system before he found his way into their first team in 2019. Operating mainly as the left-back, he made 23 league appearances this season, managing three goals and four assists in the process. Yılmaz’s last assist came in his side’s 4-1 win over Alanyaspor at the weekend. According to TGRT Haber, Leicester, Torino and VfB Stuttgart representatives watched the fullback in action in the Black Eagles’ last tie. The aforementioned three clubs ‘will compete with each other’ for his signature in the next window. One of these sides have made the highest bid of €6m for the player, but Beşiktaş expects a fee of around €10m to part ways with the Turkey international. Yılmaz received offers to leave the Istanbul club last summer, but he decided to stay put to play in the Champions League this season. The report states things would be different at the end of this campaign. They further add he ‘wants to go’ to England. The left-back favouring a move to the Premier League would come as a boost for Brendan Rodgers’ side. It remains to seen whether or not Leicester will offer €10m to Beşiktaş to sign Yılmaz in the next window. ....just had to take a look!!! Very short video of him going forward, but from what you see, he looks like quality. Fantastic balls played into the box, something that Luke Thomas excelled at when he first burst on the scene, but is no longer a feature of his game, where i felt it was his biggest attribute. For £10m or less, I would definitely want him here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyLeon Posted 13 April 2022 Share Posted 13 April 2022 Priority will be to get rid of the deadwood, so we can actually bring players in. I'd also look at the likes of Iversen, Wright and Nelson over pre season. We're desperate for attacking and creative players though. We've got three strikers who can all score goals, but besides Barnes, we're so desperately short out wide and at a number 10 position. I'd bring in 3 players who can play in those positions behind the striker. Two of a higher quality, but then also someone like a Josh Bowler, who wouldn't be expensive but would offer a lot more of a threat that what we currently have on the bench.

Muzzy_Larsson Posted 13 April 2022 Share Posted 13 April 2022 (edited) A bit of a diamond in the rough but I read this morning due to the crisis in Ukraine Manor Soloman from Donetsk is available for £10m and has been linked with Fulham. An asbolute no brainer in terms of taking a punt on him at that price imo. In a normal climate he'd probably cost 2.5 times that. Have seen him half a dozen times and every time he's been excellent. Confortable on both feet so can play wide either side. Edited 13 April 2022 by Muzzy_Larsson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Dimi is more comfortable on the left than he is. Im not saying he isnt an exciting player but he'd just be another Lookman/ Gray being played out of position on the right. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfermrkt has him listed as 'both' for feet, I've actually seen him play on both sides against Scotland also and look equally as good. He's also comfortable playing as a 10 which would provide better cover for Maddison than nothing at all which is pretty much the case at the moment. Moot point if it's a done deal to Fulham.

Reminds me of Arteta, he is quality with the ball, links up well, good awareness, if we are looking at £10m then it is a great price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 13 April 2022 Share Posted 13 April 2022 Ade has knocked in five goals so far, if he gets a couple more he will have had a pretty decent season. I hope we pay the money for him , he can be the heir to Albrighton 's place in the squad. I always thought he is a hard working and committed player. Solomon will be one to watch next season to see if he can team up well with Mitrovic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You strike me as a fan who does not like to take gambles on unproven young talent - you regularly highlight that but Solomon is very raw, his stats in a very dubious league are nothing special. He's got something about him though, will be interesting to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 14 April 2022 Share Posted 14 April 2022 If Forest fail to get promoted and we can manage to snag Johnson, I would be well pleased with him as the RW choice - Madueke's injury issues this season have put me off a little. Out Tielemans £25 million Soyuncu £25 million Perez, Choudhury, Vestergaard, Bertrand - £5 million+ In Johnson £25 million Lookman £15 million New CB £15 million If we sign someone who can replace Maddison as the RW in our current formation, then I feel like Maddison and a returning Praet would do well enough to cover for Tielemans' departure centrally, at least for this coming season. If we sold Ndidi to Aston Villa I'd love to see us bring in Sangaré and a high quality box to box central mid like Caqueret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like Lookman's mobility , he finds space wide and centrally and I think he is an ideal back up forward. We have four main strikers in Vardy,Iheanacho, Barnes and Daka and I think Ade can fit in with any of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rare a player of his age goes on loan as a "tune up". Think he'll be sold. We won't be able to shift Vestergaard or Bertrand. I would expect outgoings to be: Choudhury, Tielemans, Praet, possibly Ndidi and Soyuncu. Which leaves us very, very vulnerable in the middle of the park. We'd be left with Maddison, KDH, Soumare and Mendy. That's not sustainable for a top flight club with our ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALC Fox Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 David Carmo (Braga centre-back) played and scored last night in their defeat to Rangers. He spent over a year out since breaking his leg in Feb 2021 but I'm pretty sure we were heavily linked with him before that (although apparently he almost joined Liverpool before signing a new deal with Braga). I wonder how well he's come back in general and if we're still keeping tabs on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough on Praet. I hope that if we do sell him we don't discount him too ridiculously If Ndidi left, we would have more than enough money to replace him and Tielemans comfortably. Someone like Sangaré or Anguissa if Napoli don't cough up, could take his role for 25 million or so, and we would have a good sum for someone like Laimer, Kokcu or Caqueret to come in for Tielemans, with enough left over for another forward-thinking midfielder for depth.

Nicolo Barella Posted 15 April 2022 Share Posted 15 April 2022 I've always obviously been a fan of Barella, but Leicester direly are in need of a player exactly like him. He would be so much better than Tielemans in our current 4-3-3 it's ridiculous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
