Long and Dunne v Leicester?
If so, a massive challenge. I'm sure they are up for it, though.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
If Tarks is still struggling with the stubbed toe (ahem) then it will be won't it? Someone o here said it would be a disgrace if we started with Long and Dunne and was quickly shot down as that scenario being a non starter.
Hopefully it will be (a non starter) but at least Dunne had a decent game o Thursday. I'm less worries we will get hammered if Tarks isn't there.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
If it’s Long and Dunne, I can see Pieters playing a sweeper role - would make sense to assist in protecting the back 4

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
Nothing against either of them but I’m hoping Tarks is back with Long. In a situation where we have not received an acceptable bid, I think it’s inexcusable not to play him given our current injuries/transfer window activity (lack of).

They'll do their best but if Vardy runs at them with that electric pace of his, I really dont think they'd be able to live with him.
So Pieters playing behind them might be a good idea.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
I have a feeling his toe won't be fit for tomorrow.
So 4-5-1 might work better. Give the defence a bit more protection, while also filling central midfield with bodies.

But that shows that we will go 4-4-2, because Jay and Wood are nailed on starters...
I suppose we could do a 4-4-1-1 with Jay in the old "10" position.

The fact that this is even being discussed as a realistic option is in itself a complete joke.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
I never thought our squad could ever get worse than when we resumed post lockdown. If Dunne and Long start it already is. I cannot believe people on this Board are in acceptance of this sad situation. Dont have an issue if the situation forced us to partner Dunne with Mee or Tarks, but both Dunne and Long starting against a hungry Leicester side is criminal.If it happens its either because Tarks is going, or its SD's way of showing up the recruitment team and MG

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
If it gets too late in the window, we need to keep Tarky and tell the bidding club to come back in the next window. The points we would drop and the potential relegation from a defence not being good enough could be more than what we'd get for him.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
Isn't it strange if Tarks does not start that no mention was made by SD at the recent press conference.He spoke about Mee, Barnes, Cork and JBG in detail. It could have been something as simple as"Tarks has got an annoying injury to a toe, which is why he did not play v Sheff Utd, and is touch and go for Sunday"
I am afraid a number of this message board readers would be useless in forensics. My bet is he does not start and the club is using the time to find a replacement from the proceeds, which is why they are hanging in for money up front and minimal add-ons

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
Burnley have apparently already said they want £50 million. I'd be surprised if they decided to accept £15 million less, when it means we're knackered in defence.levraiclaret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 7:47 pmMy foxes supporting neighbour says he has heard that a deal has already been agreed with Leicester at £35m.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
For me, and my mind works in a certain way, there is sufficient evidence that hes going. Its probably unfortunate that we are playing Leicester and thats where is move will be. Wouldn't surprise me if Rogers & SD who are mates have spoken, and SD has said you can have him but we are skint.We need a bit of time and the money upfront so we can get a replacement. Bear in mind Tarks lost the captaincy in the friendly (and he was a brilliant captain and performer post lockdown) and has also kept low and remained quiet in all this

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
There is evidence that he may leave, and if he does he does. But we don’t know that for sure, it’s pure speculation. There’s also evidence that he’s staying. If we knew he was leaving before Thursday’s game then I have to wonder why news of a bid being accepted hasn’t been made public, these things aren’t often kept under wraps.warksclaret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 8:01 pmFor me, and my mind works in a certain way, there is sufficient evidence that hes going.

I think your scenario with Dyche and Rogers is fanciful as neither will be involved in transfer negotiations.

Pieters is not a good header of the ball.He has many other qualities but if you watch him at full back, he will climb but lacks direction in placing the ball

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
Good! at least then we'll get the £50m to reinvest in the squad. I'd rather we kept Tarks, but if he's set on going, then we need to maximise his value. And if that means selling to Utd then so be it.Bordeauxclaret wrote: ↑Sat Sep 19, 2020 8:10 pmI wouldn’t be surprised to see United come in for him this week.

Realise it’s £50m but I suspect they’ll know they wouldn’t have to pay it.
There’s been no links that I’m aware of by the way, all speculation on my part.

Re: Long and Dunne v Leicester?
May not have been in his mind then (thinking Tarky would be fit) but could have been since.
Anyway it was just a thought in response to those who were saying Pieters playing sweeper, which is never going to happen.
Bit concerning is a Long and Dunne partnership against Leicester. I think Tarky will play though.
