Kingman Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Benteke & Grealish/Delph aside we have a pretty average squad. Traditionally if we have a very good player on our books, history shows they will move on rather than stay and build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 1. We let in too many goals from set pieces. 2. We dont score enough from set pieces. A change in the above would be nice. 3. We dont have pace at the back. This is a big problem. 4. The defensive mid area is a concern. We are lightweight defensively here. We need more height, strength and speed here to win more challenges. 5. Our biggest creativity is Bacuna and were hoping Grealish will improve, so he scores and makes assists. 6. Most of our attackers are speed merchants without the necessary skill or vision. 7. Benteke will improve even more next year. My choice of first team players. more commanding goalie Bacuna Okore Baker Clark Towering central defender attacking left back More powerful def cent mid More powerful def cent mid Delph Grealish Gil Benteke Pacy winger with good cross Pacy attacker to play off Benteke After building this squad I would release Vlaar Richardson Guzan Given Senderos Hutton Westwood Gabby Wiemann Nzog Sinclair Bennett Then I'd have a look at the youth squad for talent.

TRO Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 It's all governed by finance.....that will dictate his building.....he just needs to be lucky and unearth a gem....once again. That's our only hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AXD Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 1. Guzan - Keep (Starter, unless a decent offer comes in)2. Baker - Keep (squad)4. Vlaar - Keep (on lower/same wages, squad player)5. Okore - Keep(starter)6. Clark - Keep (starter)7. Bacuna - Keep (squad as a midfielder as he's poor at defending)8. Cleverley - Gone9. Sinclair - Keep (squad)10. Weimann - Sell11. Agbonlahor - Keep (squad)12. Cole - Keep (squad)13. Steer - Keep (squad)14. Senderos - Sell 15. Westwood - Keep (starter)16. Delph - Keep (starter)18. Richardson - Keep (squad)20. Benteke - Keep (unlikely though)21. Hutton - Sell22. Gardner - Keep (Squad)23. Cissokho - Sell24. Sanchez - Keep (squad)25. Gil - Keep (squad)27. Kozak - Keep (squad)28. N'Zogbia - Sell (asap)29. Hepburn-Murphy - Keep (send him out on loan)31. Given - Keep (in a coaching role)34. Lowton - Keep39. Calder - Keep (send him out on loan)40. Grealish - Keep (squad) GK: If either Guzan or Given leaves, we need a new/better GK. I would think Guzan might get us a few million. So a new keeper with Given or Steer as back-up Mat Ryan from Australia is young and highly rated keeper, might cost us £5m though Our full back positions are the biggest issues as we all know. RB: Trippier LB: Robertson CB: If Vlaar leaves, we will need to buy a new CB. I would want a starter so that would push Clark or Okore down the pecking order. cheeky bid for Ranocchia from Inter? his contract is up, Inter isn't a top side anymore. Cambiasso came to Leicester, so why not try (one can dream)? Midfield: a box to box player is needed to replace Cleverly. Dembele would be a great addition but wouldn't offer many goals. With Benteke looking to leave a new striker is need in addition to Kozak hopefully fit again next season. Austin for £10m That would make our starting line up look like: GK: Ryan LB: Robertson RB: Trippier CB: Clark CB; Okore DM: Westwood CM: Delph CM Dembele LW: Sinclair RW: Gil CF: Austin Squad: Steer, Given, Lowton, Richardson, Baker, Vlaar (?), Gardner, Sanchez, Bacuna, Cole, Grealish, Agbonlahor, Kozak Grealish will become more of starter as the season goes on, but a lot people are branding him as our saviour. The kid's got loads of talent, but he's nowhere near ready to be a leading player for an entire season, we shouldn't be expecting this either. The value for the ones leaving wouldn't be too bad. Guzan 4m, Hutton 2m Cissoko 1.5m, Senderos 1m, Nzogbia 3m, Weimann 2m Benteke 32.5m = about 46m There quite some business to be done with that kind of money (IF we can sell them all) Also, a lot of people are screaming we need a big overhaul of our squad. No argument that we need improvement, but changing an entire team is no guarantee for success. to use a cliché, 11 good players doesn't equal a good team. Even with a few additions and getting rid of some deadwood, we can improve a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) Benteke's performance in the cup final and our get out clause valuation will ensure he stays with us. Edited June 6, 2015 by TRO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
