Transfer Rumours Winter 2024 Transfer Window

Personally think this will be a day when no news is good news - certainly hope we dont go back in for Chambers. Riyad can tear up the league through to the end of December and get his move for decent money in the January window.

 

It's like that old Monty Python sketch - "And then, nothing happened!"

 

Silva apparently on the way to England to sign according to John Percy who is normally reliable. Would more than happily have him instead of Drinkwater

 

Silva could be a great signing, if we only lose Drinkwater I think it will have been a decent window.

 

Palace have agreed £26m for Sakho - that's the end of that.

But then again another good from the past is rearing it's head - we are allegedly closer to signing Alekander Dragovic on loan who hopefully will be better then our last loan signing if true

 

I think we had a brilliant window. Only position where we didnt strengthen where I think was needed was right back. To have a potential line up like this is mouthwatering

Schmeichel

Simpson
Maguire
Dragovic
Fuchs

Mahrez
Iborra
Silva
Gray

Vardy
Iheanacho

 

Would have Albrighton in for Gray but otherwise is a good lineup.

 

So would I but Gray is more attacking hence why i put him in

 

And okasaki for Ihenacho for me

 

I really think it suits us more to set up in a 3-5-2 now rather than 4-4-2 given the signings

Schmeichel

Any of 3
Simpson Huth Maguire
Huth Maguire Fuchs (depending if Fuchs is left centre or wing back)
And that doesn't include Morgan and Dragovic

Albrighton right and Fuchs or Chilwell left

Silva Ndidi
Mahrez or Okazaki or even Iheanacho could all play in the hole

Vardy Slimani/Iheanacho

 

We have alot of flexabilty with the team now

Defenders who can use the ball in Maguire and Dragovic, 3 quality midfielders in Silva, Iborra and Ndidi

Numberous options up front with Vardy, Iheanacho, Okazaki, Slimani and Ulloa

I think we will have abit more possession from now on. Obviously we will still try and get Vardy in behind but we have players who are more comfortable on the ball now

IF Mahrez keeps performing how he has so far then this should be a very good season for us

 

With the squad we have now Shakey's tactical nous will now come to the fore. I think he has gone a long way to getting a team he is happy with and so far this season the club have recruited brilliantly. Some of his substitutions against Arsenal were questionable but that may be down to who was available and the excitement of getting an unexpected win. We now have a number of players who have yet to play together but potentially we could be brilliant. Looking forward to the Chelsea game.

 

We now have the best 'squad' ever assembled at the club ... plus some excellent prospects moving through the youth set-ups

 

*Aside from in the RB position.

 

Being rumoured that we might be looking to bring Bachary Sagna in as he's out of contract ... might still have a couple of season's in him.

 

God no

 

He's still making the French squad and would at least provide decent competition / cover for Simpson.

 

I'd be happy with Sagna for back up. Free transfer so just wages, short term deal. I've never seen anything from him to think he's a trouble maker, seems like a decent pro who just gets on with it

 

Would be my take ...

 

Maybe I've been harsh then
