Villastine Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 We should try to get Todd Cantwell from Norwich. Fantastic player and might actually be getable with a significant bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To push on we need to buy better quality not the Cantwells of the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 we thinking there will be any spending or are we waiting until the summer to unload the war chest? I wonder how we're doing with FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how we're doing with FFP. I'd be surprised if we bought a first team starter in January, I just think Dean will want to wait and add the next few pieces of the jigsaw in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man. City have used him oddly last few years even though left back is a massive weak spot in their team given how bad Mendy has been last two years since he came back from his ACL. One of my favourite full backs out there. Was critical of Targett last season but he's really kicked on this year so fair play. We'll obviously get in another LB once Taylor leaves but I think it will be more of a younger up and coming prospect, bit like we've done on the other side with Cash so probably someone from the championship.

dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Demarai Gray would be a very astute signing, for somebody. However I'm doubtful we will be in for a player like that in the forward positions, as in one who wants and needs to play every week. I would like to see the scouting department work it's magic for once and pluck a relatively obscure 22 year old forward for a few million from the Swedish leagues to provide healthy competition to Ollie et al. Same at left back. I'm not sure how realistic this is, but it would seem unwise to be going all in on a player(s) we don't necessarily need this January. It's still not obvious to me where the next big signing needs to be, and might not be until the summer rolls around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the 25 man squad but hasn't even made the Leicester bench this season, potentially on account of his likely transfer (out of contract this summer). Apparently Everton and Tottenham are interested in one of those 'cut-price deals'. Aside from surprise at how little he has featured for Leicester I can't say I could tell you much about the fella. But was definitely feted pretty recently. Any insights? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich192 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Ask any Leicester fan, and they hate him. Said he’s got a poor attitude, toxic in the dressing room, etc. Saw a thread about it on Twitter recently. Can’t say I’ve ever seen much of him, but I’d avoid from that alone.
