p_mards 1,363 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Whilst we're well stocked on CM's I think having Cabaye for his set pieces alone would add a huge amount of goal threat from us. I'd love it to be him. If it's any of the other CM's named then I can't see much logic in it. If we sign a further CM then we're surely going to have to move on some CM's like Leadbitter or even trying to cancel Besic's loan. Link to post Share on other sites
Tom 2,492 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Just been told another player too, this one currently plays in the Prem. Off the striker. Similar to Tuncay. Not sure how solid the info is that I've had but passing it on. Interesting, sounds like the role of a Vydra type who plays just off to link the play but also run beyond if needed? Okazaki? I'd bloody love that. Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Will be Mulumbu, wasn't he with Pulis at West brom. Could go down as the most pointless and weird signing in the clubs history. Not only another cm but a sh#te one at that. If it is him it's not the first time we've tried to sign him. For anyone with a long enough memory we actually tried to sign Mulumbu when we got promoted because he'd just been relegated despite heavy interest we never got him and he stayed at Norwich for an extra year. If it's Mulumbu I kind of see the logic in it but Mulumbu's problem is the same as it was when Pulis pushed him out the door at WBA he gets injured too much. Link to post Share on other sites

RealSlimSladeyy 766 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Wont be okazaki surely. That seems above our level Potentially. Wages could be an issue I suppose. But he’s getting on a bit and wants to leave Leicester due to lack of game time. Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,363 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 I'm guessing one of Penaranda or Nkoudou for the player to play off the striker. Link to post Share on other sites

And Penaranda is probably as far away as a Pulis player as you can get, looked great in that youth tournament a while back though. Link to post Share on other sites

The role a holding midfielder such as Clayton (or someone like Cabaye) does in our system is completely different to the role that our more advanced midfielders such as Wing, Saville, Besic and Howson do as they generally play as box-to-box midfielders, so I think signing a holding midfielder will have virtually no difference to Wing's chances.
