Vardy will be telling him not to come to us anyway.

Let's hope he's got sense and ignores the pig
 
Lesta have almost fewer strikers than we have. They have Vardy and Dakar. Theres no way I can see them letting Cannon leave ATM.
 
Leicester are close to signing Adam Hlozek a striker from Bayer Leverkusen so not sure if that means once he's signed Tom cannon can head out on loan?

Hopefully.
Noting worse than Vardy messing up our move for him
 
Cannon has already had 6 medicals for us, if Leicester sign the guy from Leverkusen he will have another 4 more and we should have the deal signed and sealed by 31st August.

Totally agree, Is he still a target?
Although this thread is becoming a bit of a bore and until some more wadding is found down the back of the sofa then I can't see this transfer being ignited at all.
Perhaps he's still sat at Train station awaiting his carriage to get the ball rolling for his medical. Hopefully he'll be firing on all cylinders if he does come.

Campbell when fit.

I'm not sure how much you've seen of Campbell, but he isn't a like-for-like player at all - he's far more effective when playing wide than centrally. He's certainly not a focal that holds-up the ball.
He may well compliment Moore if they play together but a replacement he is not.
Think of Callum Robinson as a recent similar case.

Do we need like for like? Isn't that the idea of having replacements? So we can switch it up and even swap formations.

Does his best work playing off the wide channels. Not really a hold-up, link-the-play type CF. I don't think he's a guy that makes runs beyond either.

We need another nine or to retain the players needed to switch to a three at the back. We are stuck in the middle of the two systems at the minute. We have some of the players required to play either but neither effectively enough for a 46 game Champ season. We're a Moore injury from one up top not being an option.
 
I don't think the one uptop has to necessarily be a target man, 4-2-3-1 seems the standard formation for many teams these days and there are a range of different profiles for the centre forward. But from what I have seen of them Hamer, O'Hare, Rak-Sakyi are all exciting creative talents, but all carry a risk in terms of helping us retain possession ( this was an issue at the weekend). Moore if he plays to his best, gives us a great option, because he can hold onto the ball for us and allow the "3" to play off him, but he also still gets into good goalscoring positions. So in this sense, having another player who can win and hold the ball for us, as an option would be ideal. If we had the likes of Duffy, McGoldrick still in the attacking mid/winger positions, who were great in possession, then I think you can afford for the lone striker to be more of a Brewster or Campbell profile ( not that I have seen much of Campbell). Anyway tactics aside, both Brewster and Campbell come with a fitness warning, so we would ideally have another body in the pack.

4231 is fine for away games but weve got to find a system to accomodate 2 strikers for home games maybe 4312

There is some time left in the window but the squad (not just the defence) seems "stuck between two systems".
Some decent players have come in but I hope we are far from finished.
The defence has both CBs & FBs suited to a 5 but we are going with 4.
Hamer is stuck out on LW.
We've no real cover for Souza.
And no cover for Moore.
I can't see Brewster or Campbell playing a solo role up top , nor being much use as a pair.
JRS looks a fabulous winger but that's only one flank.
I'm pretty sure we'll get offers for Hamer , Blaster , Anel & Souza , so it's going to be an extremely complex few days at the end of the window.
Of course , we don't know what the £ situation is , so it's virtually impossible for us fans to predict.

I’m flip flopping on Souza but I’m not really sure we need a ‘sitter’ at this level, going for promotion.

I think one deep lying playmaker (Arblaster) and one Box to Box (Hamer) with O’Hare in front feels more progressive and front foot.

If Souza and Anel went then I’m not convinced, like others aren’t, that we replace like for like.

But I suppose it also depends on the injured players. Could Shackleton be first choice right back? Could Campbell or Brooks be the options for the left? You’d imagine when fit, Moore plays, so there must be an angle for Campbell to get games.

I do wonder if we are having a bit of a makeshift team while we put some in the shop window. Did Souttar really come to be back up to Anel? I reckon he must know Anel will be off and he’ll become first pick.

It would not surprise me in the slightest to see Gus in CM and Souttar in CD when the window shuts.
