No point signing the likes of Richards & Niakhate then. They press too hard and far too aggressive I wonder if Gary Cahill is available this summer 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Niakhate would have to completely change his game then, as he is an aggressive defender who likes to press & intercept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he probably means in regard to carrying the ball forward and making the sorts of ambitious passes forward that Fofana and Soyuncu have done better than most (that said Niakhate ranks high-ish for progressive passes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quick defenders help too. Exactly. Evans may not be as aggressive like Fofana, but he still plays in that similar manner of pressing high, intercepting and reading the game. No idea why he said you can’t have two defenders who play that way, when that’s exactly our style under Rodgers. Niakhate & Richards tick numerous boxes to the way we play, the doubt I have with Niakhate is his ball carrying ability, that’s the main reason why I’d prefer Richards, as I said earlier, he just looks a better all round fit 👍🏻 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted 9 June 2022 Share Posted 9 June 2022 Would anyone take Kim Min Jae from fenerbache? I think we were linked a while ago whilst he was playing in China. He’s been raved about after his last season, not sure if he fits the LCB but seems a really strong, defensively solid player. Shouldn’t be too expensive either I wouldn’t think? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn’t be too expensive either I wouldn’t think? Apparently Conte wants him at Spurs after playing very impressively at Fenerbache and some reports say they have made an offer for him lasy week. Everton also interested in. We were linked with him and Bremer when we opted to sign Fofana. (Leicester seem to notice these players before the big teams get interested in them but don't go for them....until after afew years and there worth 20m odd 😒) We can't get Bremer and Saliba maybe wants to stay in France or Arsenal. Kims is the type of strong defender we need who isn't afraid to get stuck in and it will increase are image in South Korea. Over to you Ric Flair...how do you rate him?

moore_94 Posted 9 June 2022 Share Posted 9 June 2022 (edited) Not too sure we would be able to get him but if we are after a similar kind of player to Tielemans to replace him then Fabian Ruiz for €30m would be brilliant business Napoli are basically in the exact same position with him as we are with Tielemans Edited 9 June 2022 by moore_94 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Flair Posted 9 June 2022 Share Posted 9 June 2022 @Finnegan is Dylan Levitt worth a look? Hes had a very good season on loan in the SPL and i think he wants out at Utd. I imagine we've got our own academy players who will be ad good, if not better than him but he's an interesting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. Not up to Premiership quality. Certainly not currently. Probably needs a good stint in the Championship. Assuming he'd cost actual proper money, we'd be better investing it in the actual first team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
