[Arsene Titman 146]

We’re allegedly interested in him although the competition looks stiff

If we are in for him, the advantage we have is that he probably doesn't have to move house. 

[Boycie 16,901]

He’s not a player I’m overly excited for us to be linked with tbh.

[hintonsboots 2,183]

Surely if we firm up our interest in him Villa will step in.....their squad is a bit threadbare down to the last 67 players.

[Nick_Ram 250]

This isn't a rumour at all... the bookies are just offering odds to sign a player. Shouldn't even be a news story!

[SchtivePesley 5,324]

At one point he was the jewel in Leicester's crown.

 

[therealhantsram 1,281]

The rumours usually have some basis in them... of which positions we have been scouting for instance.

Noticeable (and surprising) we are not being linked with any centre backs at the moment.

The King and Kamara rumours do suggest we are looking to make some changes in central midfield. Mount is a shoe-in. Who plays in the other two slots still up for grabs it would seem.

I suspect it's more to do with next season than this season - Lampard seems to be bringing in players he sees for the next 2-3 years at least - And I keeping banging on that officially our CM options by August 2019 are Holmes and Evans - Bit light for a 3-man midfield

As a midfielder you’d surely love to play under Frank

Do we really need him? Can't think who he would replace, unless Bryson is off somewhere.

If he’s playing centre half then I’m all for it

[DCFC1388 1,258]

Surely this would only be happening if some centre mids are close to leaving? Got plenty who are out of favour. Maybe loan with a view to a permanent? We need some CM's on permanent deals.

Ledley, Wilson & Lawrence with the Welsh connection to get him to join!

[Alpha 23,113]

He's not sure whether he wants to play for a top 6 spot and stay where he lives or up root and move to Wales to play for midtable

It sounds a tiny bit like complete bull poo

[Millenniumram 6,539]

Really? He’s pretty distinctly average to me. I mean we do need numbers in centre mid so if he’s cheap I can understand it, rather a bigger upgrade on what we have though. It’s an area that definately needs work.

We have plenty of options in midfield but it remains our weakest area.

Remember thinking the same of Matt Oakley.....

[DCFC1388 1,258]

Ledley Bryson Johnson Butterfield Huddlestone - all out of contract in the summer. Leaves us with Evans, Thorne & Holmes if you want to class him as a cm plus youngsters like Bird & Elsnik so we need some more players in there.

But I can't see us going for him now unless 1 or 2 of the previously mentioned are on their way out?

[Sparkle 3,795]

He hasn’t played a full game for over two years has he? Then again we have got a few like that
