Gibbs White looked lively but terrible end product, Johnson has pace and scored 8 goals this season but again didn't look great. I'd maybe gamble on Johnson if they go down especially given his age but only if Forest ask a reasonable price. Leicester's assets are more attractive to us. If we could convince Maddison to come here it would be a great signing, if not then Barnes is another who'd improve us and I think he'd very likely want to join. Tielemans is another who would definitely improve us but again would be a hard sell even if we make Europe. Southampton look doomed to me and while most of their team is poor I do think Lavia will become one of the best defensive midfielders in the world in a few years. Definitely one player we should look at but not really a position we need to strengthen this summer given we have Kamara. No to Barnes and 1000% no to tielemans. he isn’t old but his legs have had so many minutes in them for a lad his age, I’ll bet he doesn’t last long into his 30’s and imo he is already dropping his performances for a while now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sad to see what's happened to that club. That said, every single one of their players are available. They've continually sold off their best players and rarely replaced them adequately. They have a good left back of memory serves me. Gaya or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know enough about Pedro Goncalves tbh as I have very little interest in the Portuguese league, I’ve seen him play in the Europa League and that’s it really. I’ve seen his name thrown about alot here so I presume you’ve seen him play often in his domestic league? What type of player is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yunus Musah is on their books too, always thought he was the better option when we were being linked to his USA team mate McKennie Hang on a minute, V for Valencia, could we add them to the growing V empire? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both players definitely better than what we have. Barnes is probably more suited to direct counter attacking football but you can't deny he's a better left winger than what we have currently. Tielemans I agree is more risky given his injuries but available on a free and a very good footballer. Ignore Leicestsr's poor season, they were both key players when they were finishing 5th and winning the FA Cup. Anyway neither have been strongly linked so doubt they'll happen. I think we'll target a more creative left winger/attacking midfielder anyway (Goncalves probably) then a pacey forward (Nico Williams or maybe Chukwueze). Maybe Guendouzi will be an option then at least one new defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t know who this kid is but has he seriously changed his profile to ‘sub 44’ because he can’t get starts for a team full of superstars when he is on loan at the club?

HalfTimePost Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Tielemans is not better than what we have. He can be or was a year or 2 ago. But Kamara and Dougie have been significantly better than him this season and I'd wager would continue to be so for a while 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Tielamans would be a no brainier on a free. I don’t think he’ll have to worry too much about securing a move if Leicester go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a fair point. He has played a hell of a lot of top level games for a 25 year old and does always seem to be injured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Steve Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 That Leicester dressing room seems a bit toxic. I probably wouldn’t touch much of that squad. Find better deals in Spain or France. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
