That's not enough is it? A powerful centre-forward would probably keep us in games for a bit longer, and it'd be good to get someone like Bridcutt in, but we need players in at least three other positions — beyond those — before left-back. It seems an annoying hindrance and perhaps we should have moved on Knudsen's contract before we began dropping like a stone. [Post edited 29 Dec 2018 20:16]

Competent second division players who clubs might be prepared to release with six months left on a contract because, as you say, we need more than two players. I think a loan keeper is now a necessity as well. It's back to the days of Andy Marshall in goal the amount of errors from both Gereken and Bart this season. | |

Yep, really need a few like that. We're within the threshold going into January that I identified as being survivable-from, and I still think we can do it — but it is a desperate situation and we need some real masterstrokes in the market if that hope is to be sustainable beyond the next few weeks. | |

I would feel a bit better had we ground out a few gritty points but the away form has been so poor. Although, on the positive side I've just read something by a Norwich fan describing how he went about things in the Premier League - it was the same positive approach, accepting they would lose a lot too. We just need to add enough quality to win a few more matches as most of the other teams around us are equally crap. | |

Agreed. What is the point of it? He’s clearly not going to get a game at Leicester ahead of Chilwell or Fuchs so why try get him permanently. | |

Not sure about this loan, has less Championship experience than Kenlock and is two years older. As you say seems a bit odd. | | | |

Indeed, might as well play Kenlock, rather than wasting a loan spot. | | | |

What would they ask for him do you think? Anything but giving him away probably rules us out doesn't it? | |

Agree doesn't work as a loan at present, as we have a greater need in other positions. Wonder if it might be a loan with a view to a permanent? Would make a bit more sense.... | | | |

Wouldn't that be fairly pointless though as it'd take up another loan spot? | |

No idea, if his contract is up in the summer might be achievable but guess that is just wishful thinking | |

Agree it's a bit pointless, but we can have as many loans as we want - only limited to the matchday squad. I can only think; If he is a loan with a view to a permanent he could come in, be part of the squad, be cover while assessing him; clutching at straws i know. | |

According to Wikipedia his contract runs out in June 2019. (might not be correct though). | | | |

His contract runs out in 2020. He signed a one year extension in September, which came as a surprise to Leicester fans as he's never been anywhere near the first team squad. He did pretty well in pre-season, but was then left out of the Premier League squad. Christian Fuchs will be leaving Leicester in the summer, and there has been a story that the club sees Elder as a potential backup to Ben Chilwell next season, but they want him to get some game time in the Championship first. | | | |
