Deal completed for Maddison. https://www.lcfc.com/news/734957/maddison-signs-for-leicester-city-on-a-fiveyear-deal/press-release
Happy with this, a position that we were calling out for quality in and the Norwich fans calling him a future international is very promising.
Other then Paul Gallagher we havent had a decent free kick taker in a very long time. Hopefully Maddison changes that
Really impressed with our business so far, 3 players in key positions we need that improve the first 11 straight away. Excited to see who is next
Still need another centre half, Keeper (Boaz Myhill got released today would be a good shout for a year) Need to replace Mahrez IF he goes and buy a striker if we can get rid of Slimani, Musa and Ulloa
The picture in the kit is what I wanted to see. This is potentially our best signing in quite some time. After the disaster of splashing the cash after the title win so far whether its Rudkin or Puel they appear to have done a far better job this summer.* *slipped in the words potentially and appear just in case
We have all but signed Kvirkvelia as CB if rumours are to be believed and also are also still linked with Gibson and Mawson. Mahrez move to Man City seems to be off as they are umming and arring too long. Liverpool are linked as they are still looking for a Cortinho replacement. Myhill would be a decent shout to replace Hamer - apparently Iversen is very likely to go out on loan so having an experienced 3rd choice behind Kasper and Jakupovic would do the job. Then again, with armchair scouting during the world cup, the Iranian keeper looks really decent as well - we were able to bring in Kaebi years ago... We have way too much deadwood - we have have 36 senior players atm so at least 10 must go.
Surely its one of these 3 with Kvirkvelia being the easiest option, think any defender that comes in now will be battling Evans for a starting place alongside Maguire.
I reckon we will be after another CB as we will be playing 3 at the back - I don't think it is a coincidence that both Mawson and Gibson are lefties. Can see Morgan, Benauone and Amartey all leaving.
But i though that Maguire and Evans also play on the left side? Are we likely to switch Maguire to the right with Evans sitting in the middle?
I dunno - isn't it better to have a left footer on the right side? Either way that is just something I noticed.
I thought i heard that Iheanacho was taking corners for Nigeria, we've had a dead ball specialist all along and we just didn't know it!
Putting my fantasy team together and thought he would be worth a crack but 6.5m. Might have to wait and see what he is like.
