LEICSTER agreed a fee for a centre half let’s see what happens now

Those dickheads will probably put the price up again.

Anybody reckon we can get Webster on a free, then hold out for Souttar late on when they're desperate for less than £5m ?

I'd be surprised if they half their demand. I do think their stance will soften though.

I wonder if this our tactic hence why we are moving for Webster.

 

[tommy]

Still think we will get souttar....who knows how much we will pay or what we have already bid .... Leicester will need to get big earners off wage bill with results they have had n trouble they are in

 

[LBA_Blade]

Big risk for them but being in League one, could pay off this is the Finnish version of Nils Zatterstrom. Finland's top tier isn't exactly a quality league and they are picking up a 19 year old who has played 16 matches and imagine wage won't be big. Be interesting to see how many add ons are on that deal as for a club that is supposed to be bust/overstretched paying about £2million when we can only afford frees and loans seems a bit harsh.

 

[Macfarlane21]

are we sure hes the answer?

look at this ....

Looks like Leicester's price tag may have done us a favour. However, the players they still have in that squad indicates something deeper is going on

 

[Champagneblade]

19?! He just have had a difficult paper round! Looks about 35!

 

[Brownieblade]

I think Leicester issue hasn’t changed, can they afford to carry the wages over the season

The fact they have started slowly might help them panic, I think it’s clear now they aren’t getting 10r likely even 5 for him

Maybe they can - but actually I think they are prepared to gamble & risk a 6 pt deduction by breaching SCR. They probably think they can go up regardless of a point deduction! The main issue is that there owners are batshit crazy!!! Having said all that Martin will be sacked after a couple more matches if their bad start continues.

 

[Blade56]

Why don’t we guzump him and pocket £7.5m?

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I think they've shot themselves in the foot. He's not had the best start to the season with Leicester and he doesn't suit Russell's style. They should have negotiated with us, Wrexham and whoever else was in for him at the time and moved him on.

The last CB we signed for £2.5m from Scandanavia hasn't kicked a ball for us in over a year

Maybe before the season started but now, plus if Martin has any sense he is dropping Souttar at least until after the window closes, he clearly doesn’t want to be there

I think this one is dead. McGuinness looks good for me, Baptiste looked assured tonight. Webster worries me for the injuries, but a free CB would be my preferred option to come in as competition.

 

[Kenilworth]

McGuinness has so many obvious flaws. He is not the answer to our CB problem, he is our CB problem.
Baptiste was much more composed and RND played well. McG is too slow in his head and with his feet. A liability that will be exposed horribly against any side with a bit of pace and nous.

The ball over the top is McGuinness's main weakness.

Fixed it for you.

 

[Nedski]

ekke287 any idea if this is still bubbling away somewhere?

Based on the Leicester highlights, I'm hoping Souttar is showing his frustration at the whole situation and has completely given up there, because he's looked bloody awful

hes not good … he’s an adequate sub if we are sitting in… end of discussion

Sorry but he's played against teams who have hardly laid a glove on us, and he still looks like a naffing player who is playing above his naffing level against poor ordinary teams

 

[The Fox]

If anyone thinks we can replace McGuiness with a flawless cetre back with pace , presence , great on the ball , good in the air etc I think they are mistaken .

Any centre back we sign will not have every attribute , I dont think one exists that does , never mind one thats available within our budget.

What we have and the cover is as good as were going to get and probably more than adequate in the championship.

 

[Servigliano]

The ball over the top is McGuinness's main weakness.

But it's also any CB's main worry.
Anticipation is the key - can he learn it, if so I'd keep him

 

[MartBlade]

Looking at Baptiste, I’d love to see us go to a 3 … with Tanganga and Baptiste either side of a big, dominating player. A fit Webster or Souttar would be great but I think McGuinness is also ideal in that system…. We’d have the right combination of aerial dominance and mobility. Webster would give us the added bonus of top level experience and superior ball-carrying/passing too.

I agree but where does that leave Donovan and any other wingers were trying to sign, that's the only issue.

 

[chesblade]

Seen a tweet that Leicester want 2 million for choudry so price for soutter seems a bit high

 

[MartBlade]

Yep … it’s a tough one. Donovan was probably MoM last night but I think he could play as part of a 3 up top… ideally him and O Hare playing off Bamford.
If we do stick with 2 centre halves, I think Baptiste will be pushing really hard for a place anyway so at least we’ve got some options before we another cb in.

 

[3Cheers4Ramirez]

Donovan looks like he can play all across the frontline
