Wishlist Non Cup-tied players?

[LAM09 7,043]

Pasalic and Griezmann/other similar profile of striker.

I doubt we'll be recalling Pasalic. He's one of our few loanees that's actually getting minutes.

Adebayor is not cup-tied (wee joke)

dont you dare. i guess someone might have made the same joke around jose and he got to thinking - well he would add "experience" to our ranks.

lol we do need to sign two or maybe three cracking players who are going to hit the ground running to gives us a chance to do something in the CL this year and turn this season into a good season but its a big ask tho

Mahrez. What a player he is. Forget Vardy, he is the man behindert Leicester's success. Brillant technical ability, pace finishing, still only 24. he is evrything Pedro is not.

Charlie Austin?

I doubt Leicester will sell any of their players in January maybe in the summer tho

What's more worrying is why someone within our backroom cannot identify a Mahrez type for love nor money yet we get players like Djiliboji.

I'd look closely at this area of staff along with JM if we are to see a big shake up.

Mahrez would probably turn into Salah here. The main reason he is doing well is because he has confidence, trust from coach and brilliant hard working TEAM. He would have nothing of that here.

Thing is, even Djilobodji if signed by Leicester instead of us, might become one of better CBs in PL. But since he is here, he doesnt even get a chance to show it (not saying he would if he got the chance, but you know there is a chance)

Salah, KDB, Lukaku, Cuadrado and bunch of others are doing just fine elsewhere, it doesnt matter if we have top talent or not, we simply dont have the board that would transform them into good players.

I agree with you. But what I also meant was the identification of such a player. But this is the point we are at, we must start finding gems like him, not everything needs to 30-40M to be a success which is why I worry about our scouting network and policy.

Right now we are in perfect situation to give Kenedy or RLC (two unknown and cheap; RLC even being academy player) a chance, but hey they dont get it. IMO the problem is not in the board to find such player, its in management team that knows two fucks about how to give those guys a chance. Even a talent like Mahrez would turn into flop here because at best he would play in odd game here and there and regardless of display would be benched the next 10 games.

KDB was THE gem we had (despite he didnt fit into Mou plan, he is still a top talent) and we didnt do anything. Wasnt even given a chance.

I get what you mean, but even if we had the best scouting team in the world, Mourinho and Co would find a way to ruin every player they get hands on (or 9 out of 10 at least). Talents wont just turn brilliant as soon they come here. They will need positive enviroment with coach that trusts them which gives confidence and play time. Sadly they would get ''show us what you have in 5min'' treatment and even if they do good, some underperforming ''star'' player would still play ahead of them.

My point was one that I stated earlier. The whole management/backroom staff need a full overhaul. That means JM going and full shake up, because it's quite clear we fail to not only bring in the young talents from the academy set up but we also fail to identify the real gems from around Europe i.e. Mahrez for example. Contrary to popular belief, you can actually adapt young talent in amongst the big names, it's alright saying they learn from them in training but development goes a hell of a long way if they actually are played with the top boys and such the learning curve really motors on.

People are so heavy into talking about JM being sacked but the big picture is larger and more worrying for me.
