January defenders

Lol. That will be at the same time we swap Mendy for Foden.
Doubt Maddison can play along side Foden, so do you think Rodgers a manager renown for dirty defensive teams, and with Ndidi, Maddison and Teilemans arguably the best defensive midfield in the league, would play with 1 defensive midfielder and so expose his defence in the same way as Pep, for me there is no defender at Leicester as good as what we have, it will be interesting seeing who you think could play the Pep way
 
Tah & Koulibaly would be amazing. Would need to free a few foreign spots though.
Something about Tah is throwing me off. He’s been linked all over the place over the years yet no one has really seriously gone after him, including Bayern who could’ve used a guy like him for a while now.

Tah is not Bayern quality. And there is no need. Bayern have Süle, Hernandez, Boateng, Pavard, Alaba and Martinez who can be great central defenders far better than Tah.

It is anyways a question of the system. Bayern had 2 shots on goal - both from far out of the penalty box - in the last 4 matches. With Pavard as right back, Martinez, Alaba (Boateng) and Alphonso Davies (do not forget the name!) in defense.

Just a tip: When Pep leaves, find the right successors...

I would imagine we will get a defender that no one on here have heard off . All the same names keep being banded around but got a feeling it will be someone we haven’t even thought off
 
who decided that not replacing Kompany is good idea? We would not have won the title without him playing in the run in, yet they do not replace him. I don't understand the complacent attitude the whole club has when we win. Instead hand everyone new deals and act like we have squad impossible to improve on. Always be ruthless, this is not charity.
 
This is going against our overall transfer policy but we could do with a temporary signing. Scratch that make it a couple.

The club has done it every season we've won a title.

They get complacent which allows other teams to catch up or overtake.

We’ve won the league multiple times in a row with record points. You can hardly say we have a complacent attitude.

We can’t win the league every single year forever. Teams go through spells where they are out of form

We do have complacent attitude. Only bought Mahrez who was not even needed in 2018. Again 2019 bought DM and RB but only because we needed DM and RB because Danilo wanted to go. We have dined on the 2015, 2016 and 2017 summer business.

and if legendary player goes, you replace him no matter what.

Are the club complacent ? Do you think Pep is the type of person who is prepared to let things drift ?

The team has been seriously affected by injuries , but perhaps there was no player that the club saw as a decent replacenent for Kompany, that represented good value for money.

Today was a poor performance from the team as a whole, where the pace of the game was much too slow, but to always trot out the same complaint is just a poor excuse imo.

The injuries are seriously affecting the squad imo.

You mean two years running!! that is hardly multiple times in a row!!!
 
Skriniar now linked heavily with a move to Real Madrid with Inter Milan looking like they have lined up a replacement from River Plate joining in January. Ruben Dias priced out of a move now his buyout has increased. Koulibaly would require negotiating with the impossible De Laurentiis so again likely to be priced out. Soyuncu’s agent has already publicly stated that his client is happy and not looking for a move.

The popular choices on here don’t look like they will happen.

Time to gazump the real madrid deal then
 
If Skriniar is potentially available then should go for him absolutely. Might even be cheaper than the Leicester defender we seem to be after.
