Could he at a push play wide right or left, sure, but you wouldn't be getting the best out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 34913 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He would strengthen both areas of the pitch anyway. It’s not like they’re vastly different positions either. As an aside, I wonder how much Anderson is influencing the thinking at the club around the need for midfielders. You would think having 5 subs should see him get plenty opportunities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4721 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 When did £60 million become the lowest possible price anyone wants for an ok or better attacking midfielder? Every story is a 40 million bid and a 60 million asking price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the bid went in last night, right around the time Murphy played his 15th pass to an Atalanta player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this underscores that we are looking for a CM as well as a winger and a striker, which is really exciting. But if we get Maddison it probably ends the Paqueta rumours. Which is a little odd given he’s apparently available for £35m. Perhaps there was nothing in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still be playing with two wide men and one striker. I’d be amazed if Howe hasn’t considered it and he is clearly a good enough coach to implement it if that’s what he fancies doing.

Ayatollah Hermione 13838 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He’ll not be replacing Murphy as Murphy will be replaced with some 19 year old prospect in due course who’ll take his role as 3rd choice on either side. We have to remember that we’ve only seen so much of him because it’s pre-season. Fraser and Almiron will be on the right, ASM and Fraser will be on the left and Anderson can cover both. He is fucking hard work though so can understand the desperation to bin him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13838 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 How can a team owned by PIF be under equipped to buy a Leicester player?

A wasp with a grenade launcher would be extremely dangerous, they don’t obey orders, how often do you shout “fuck off you stripey little cunt” and do they fuck off, no, they just buzz around like nowts the matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The Leicester fans are suitably devastated, outraged or in denial about their best player potentially leaving. They seem to think he’s worth £60-80m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
