Lucas isn't a midfieder, he's a forward.
Let's get that2 out the way first of all...
If you're gonna be a condescending twat then let's try and get the basics right first shall we?
We could sneak one on without anyone knowing.353 you say?
With our set up he is very much a midfielder / winger
Feel free to list the players Leicester bought in the last five years which won them the league six years ago.
:bergwijnconfused:
No he's not.
And even if you want to include him as a midfielder in our current setup under Conte he played the vast majority of matches as a forward under Poch.
Nonsense comparison lol
im sure baldy can concoct a plan
Don't shoot the messenger.

"Ok so I've been holding back a little bit because of reactions to ITK posts over the last few windows. Prior to that I've always been fairly to the point and as in depth as I could, but the sheer number of creative ratings given to various ITK posters and certain posters purposely twisting posts just to create a certain narrative meant I couldn't be bothered in all honesty. I carried on sharing within our back of house group as have others, but believe me when I say there's a fair bit you are no longer hearing because some of you can't take ITK for what it is.
Nothing is ever set in stone and things are fluidly changing all the time, sometimes by the time it's been posted on here it's done a complete 180 and back again. Depending on where the info has come from there may well be agenda and or opinion attached, which can skew things. Personally I try and say if I believe this to be the case and depending on the source sometimes that's easier to do than at other times. I generally say when it's come from an agent(but sometimes agents are better placed than even Levy would be depending on the player involved). Or it's from someone I know at the club and has been there for years. So with that in mind I'll try again, and probably for the last time. As I say take it for what it is which is info that has been passed on in good faith and at the time of hearing was as it was.
There are no lines to read between, and no fucking smokescreens!!!

Doc, TN, Dele, Rodon, Davinson, Bergwijn are all deemed surplus. There are others we'd accept offers for but they'd have to be above what we consider their value to be. Conte wants 3 in in January, and 3 more in the Summer. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if we only got a couple in now but 6 was what they agreed to be realistic and necessary over the next couple of windows. The priority right now is for a CB that can play left and center a RWB and an attacking option. I know there will be a plethora of you out there with the opinion that other positions are more important, but Conte would like these first, and it has to be done his way now. As I say things are fluid and if the right player became available in another position we would of course look to bring them in as well.
As I posted yesterday It's always been about being in the right place for the start of next season. This next few months are effectively a huge pre season where the players are to learn their new roles and ethos of how the manager wants to play. He wants to first be solid defensively, it's his main priority and the hardest part of his system to get across to the players as it's usually a different system to anything they've played before. From what I was told he feels it's for easier for a good AM to slot into any system and find runners, than it is for CB's or WB's to understand how he wants them to play during different phases of play. That's why he wants to get that side of things established and in place first. Like I say should the right AM become available we'd not turn our noses up but it's not the priority as of right now.
Conte knew exactly what he was getting into when he came in, nothing at all has changed FP has been working on things and I expect us to get at least two and probably the 3 Conte wants this month. I certainly wouldn't rule out more than that if we can get players moved on which again is down to FP now. January as we all know is always difficult but I think FP with all his contacts will find it easier than we've found it in the past.
You need to give it time folks because one things for sure we won't get a better chance than we do with Conte, and anything we can get from this season is a bonus."

Actually Moura is very much one of the top of our worries.
We lack creativity and goal scoring outside of Kane and Son. Moura provides neither. He is one of the guys that needs definite upgrading in our sqaud.
Have they brought in a pay per word policy for ITKs over at SC?
Be on his way to Man City soon then... :hugoshock:
Like the one we did for Moutinho , fax it through 2 mins after the window has closed, they won’t be expecting that
Read Newsnow.com…….sprinkle in a bit of Contes own interview and VOILA!!!
I have inside knowledge
Brilliant
We are talking about one of the few players who actually looks like he gives a fuck & do you suggest going back in a time machine to prove your point ? He’s playing as a midfielder now & as I’ve already said , he is the least of our worries , I can think of at least 4 or 5 positions that are more in need of replacements than his role.
It's almost as if he is hinting at blaming people laughing at ITK for our problems.
I thought you were a fan of Lucas ?
You always seemed keen
Kane with 4 goals and 1 assist in half a year?
And Moura with 2 goals and 3 assists?
Yeah Kane isn’t a problem
Again you are wrong.
We need goals and creativity in this squad more than anything. That should come from Moura's spot, especially as we move to the 3-5-2 we should be playing.
Might be usual Sun bs but they are saying manure are after neves. Possibly £35m!
If we are going to wolves then get him rather Adama. Surely that is a no brainier? Sell a few of the dead wood to raise some money then put in 50m
Offer for neves. He would improve our team straight. Look at him and moutinhio v manure just them two in cm ran the show. Never of them are tacklers or hard men. We don’t need to play with a boring midfield of skipp and PEH/winks. Get some technical players in there!

We constantly play 2 defense minded midfielders & have little options to add anything . I don’t get at all how you view matches but it is totally different to the majority , Lucas is one of the few who try to go forward the majority of our midfield prefer to play sideways or backwards
