Not thrilled by this to be honest. I want Anwar El Ghazi, he looks the real deal and this guy is lazy when it comes to defensive duties.

Not impressed with anyone coming from Serie A and don't think he's the answer. Serie A is crapp compared to the PL and he'll be too slow.

Piffle

Milan are interested in El Ghazi. Overmars reckons he's not for sale in Jan.

Leicester more likely than milan to be fair,

Not necessarily. They're a bit crap at the moment but it's still AC Milan we are talking about.

The pull of milan is huge
The city itself is huge

Leicester has a space museum though

Don't forget our King!

I for one think that Eder would be a fantastic signing for our club.
Quality striker/finisher, good all round game.
Just the sort of player that we need to rotate with or put pressure on Jamie.
Fingers crossed that we get the last snag sorted and get this deal over the line for his home debut against Liverpool.

All joking apart
Eder has looked the business for a while now and has a great shot for the euro's in the summer

Would give you a lovely fluid trident

That's one of the reasons he'd be taking a risk moving abroad midseason. It's not like Italy's other strikers are pulling up any trees.

Do we have any other strikers

Speaks volumes that a nation of our standing, has to rely on Pelle

That's why form after January will be important. Wonder if Balotelli will go if he can produce good form for Milan. Immobile is back at Torino now also.

Poor options compared to what Italy used to have.

Leicester Clock Tower or Milan Cathedral and shopping??, dosn't matter as it's more money and better than going to Manchester or Licerpool if you think about it,

Gabbiadini can deliver but will he

Hope conte trusts berardi and insigne

I'd be surprised if that happens.

Me too bit they're capable of that bit of magic we badly need

Yeah that fella we got from Seria A last season was terrible wasn't he, what was his name, Esteban something?

Obviously I'm only kiddimg Arro your point is sound but not evry Serie A player will struggle and we have to trust the scouting team
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah of course, I know what you mean mate but, Cambiasso took time to settle though and he's world class.

If we were signing him in the summer I'd be ok with it but coming into the PL in January and getting up to speed straight away is unlikely.

Our scouts found Kramaric and he didn't turn out too well, just saying 😊

Arro you have heaped praise on Steve Walsh this season, however you don't want LCFC to "waste" money on this guy who he has clearly scouted if the report be true of course....Is your reluctance simply because he plays in serie A and the French division 2 is mush better or what?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A couple of reasons.

I read his scouting report and wasn't all that impressed. It says he doesn't work hard for a start and abandons his defensive duties. Not really what we're looking for is it?

I'm not overly enamoured by players coming from Italy at this stage of the season because I don't think he'll get up to speed straight away, will probably take 10-15 games and that's no good. If it was in the summer I'd be a lot happier.

We do have a great scouting team, who scouted Kramaric and look how that turned out. We have a good record but not perfect and this is a really important, possibly season defining and I don't think this is the guy.

Fair enough?

So you're gonna turn down one of serie A's top scorers because it's Jan not July

No wonder people tell me you're a tool

Nah to be fair to arro I can see where he's coming from.

Coming midseason can be disruptive to a player or team's form. Getting a player in the summer and giving him a preseason is probably better for integration.

In principle that is, because not ever transfer worksout like that.

Yeah basically because I don't think he will come in and make a difference this season, too tough of an ask.

Still not impressed by his scout report though, take a read.

I personally think we can do better.

Cassano , Balotelli and Berardi. Gotta love a moody Italian striker.

arro, to be fair, I don't think January signings are views as much as a big deal in Serie A as they are over here.
