Dr_Pangloss Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Our defence is pretty weak, Clark is definitely our best defender from the stand point of reading the game and positional sense. We shouldn't be selling him under any circumstances unless we have a quality centre half lined up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
penguin Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Just had a look at the free agents and there are some interesting names there who can play CM: Cambiasso, Aquilani, Muntari and Gourcuff who plays attacking mid. Any of those you'd take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) Just had a look at the free agents and there are some interesting names there who can play CM: Cambiasso, Aquilani, Muntari and Gourcuff who plays attacking mid. Any of those you'd take? Hmmm... Probably only Cambiasso to be honest, tempted by Aquilani but I think with his kind of game he'd be limited now because of his age. Perhaps could do a job though.

TS Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Surprised nobody has mentioned Ashley Young yet. There's an article in The Independent saying we want him back. Personally I'd take him back in a heartbeat even after his Olympic diving performances against us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted July 25, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2015 I agree re Young, he undoubtedly still has ability and talent, if his wages were ok then I'd love to see him in claret and blue again. I have a feeling he'll do a big money retirement move though... Maybe la liga or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I'd take him back in a heartbeat even after his Olympic diving performances against us. Would definitely have him back, on the right wages, but the articles i've read seem to just be conjecture based on Young having a year left on his contract and we have loads of money from Benteke. Can't see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Young is old and become a bit injury prone. Wouldn't be worth the outlay unless on loan perhaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 Any more solid news on Cambiasso? Seems to be gathering pace on Twitter, and I've seen a few unhappy Leicester fans tweeting about it. Not going to take Twitter news as gospel though, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted July 25, 2015 Share Posted July 25, 2015 I doubt Young would want to come back in any case. I suspect he will want to stay where he is and either play out the last year of his contract or sign another one with them. When he does leave he will go to the club that makes him the best offer. Should that be us given his age, lack of sell-on value and that it is rare for players to do as well on their return to a former club as they did before leaving? Not for me.

Any of those you'd take? Cambiasso and Gourcuff, but only if we got rid of Cole as he's another talented sick note. Muntari is past it even at 30, he wants $s, and I feel Aquilani would struggle back in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
