Konsa and Hause are fine as depth too At least for where we are now. Because even with a good striker, we might be approaching a point where we have good players all over the starting 11, but many of them are just shy of being top 6 quality. Which may become a problem later. The idea is that we don't want to be where we are now anymore... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MotoMkali Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Arsenal are apparently in for Tielemans for 25 million. I'd be all over that and try to persuade him to become the 3rd in a midfield with Kamara and Ramsey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with only a year left on his contract I can’t believe they’d sell him for 40% less than they paid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 We're not needing to improve on Martinez, Digne, Cash, Buendia, Coutinho, Ramsey, and looks like McGinn is safe in SG's mind - but everyone else we can upgrade. Reckon we will see Konsa, Ings, Luiz swapped for better in this window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get that, I think we're golden in terms of our first 11. Apparently we need more 'holes in the squad as these ones are too soft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I don’t think Leicester fans have been happy with Tielemans this season. Might be wrong 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 12 months to go they are down a fair bit (which is why we won't get much for Dougie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I don't think Konsa is sold this summer. He's currently injured, so unlikely that people buy him during his current condition. Plus he's on one of the longest contracts at the club. Yes, he's had a down year by his own standards, but it's a bit too soon to move on from one of the better English central defenders in the year. I think with the recent performances of Chambers, and Konsa's injury status, it's more likely that Hause will be allowed to leave but we will try to bring in a top level centre-back, a level above any of our current defenders, to force competition between Mings/Konsa/Chambers.

I know I agree but these kind of rumours amongst fans end up being correct more often than not. They start floating way before the media get wind.

Which ones? All the manager and player ones will be about how 'dogshit' they are. Any potential signings will also be dogshit, and not worth the money.
