If the house was falling down and built on toxic waste then it might be worth it!
-
Shame he's not left footed!
-
The problem is that buying players that immediately slot into a top 5-8 side is expensive. Our business plan appears to be buying those players who might have the potential to become first teamers. Some times it takes time sometimes it doesn't happen. God knows where Vestergard and Bertrand fit in that model though.
-
Cheap cover for Barnes, is he as good as Lookman?
-
Fofana, (No one) would be better than Fofana, Vestergard
-
Why? He already has, you don't think he puts any thought or investigation into these tweets do you?
-
Fofana - First choice Evans - First Choice Soyuncu - Lacks confidence Ndidi - Weakens midfield to play him as CB Amartey - Energetic, but not very good Nelson - inexperienced Brunt - Inexperienced Justin - Only in a 3 If we keep Amartey is 5th choice then we need 1 more, if Soyuncu doesn't improve we need 2. We should not let Vestergard anywhere near the matchday squad.
-
On the first point I agree. On the second point, I am still hoping for big things. I hoped that he was coming back here to fight to take over from Kasper when/if he leaves next season.
-
Committed to heading it clear? I thought he hesitated and let the striker in
-
But what do they do when they have spent that and still have wages to pay? They couldn't afford the wages on 100percent of their income.
-
Is that because you think he's good or you don't care as long as we sign someone?
-
I think this is the right approach, our owners aren't stupid, we need to get rid of the deadwood and keep the best player, not the other way round.
-
There is no suggestion here that we have any intention of selling him. This is just Tanner trying to drum up more clicks
-
We might want it, but we have to admit we screwed up and aren't going to get it. This may be the problem, whoever screwed up doesn't want to acknowledge the fact by letting them go for what they are worth now.

Summer 2022 priorities (and realistic options)
Merchant_Banker replied to Allenho11's topic in Transfer Talk
Ward Amartey. Vestergard. Soyuncu. Bertrand Mendy Choudhury Soumare Tielemans Perez. Iheanacho Covid outbreak decimates squad and this is the starting line up for First game of next season. Prate still left out because Rodgers hates him. What do you think? 😊 -

This is the problem, we are paying the fringe players more than they would get elsewhere. -
Very sensible post, what are you doing on here!
-
What formation would you play with 2 up top? If you play 3atb then Barnes doesn't play. If you play 4atb then either Maddison or Ndidi miss out, or you play Maddison wide right.
-
KDH is the Robbie Savage compared to Tielemans' Muzzy Izzet.
-
Players we should keep: - Schmeichel/Iversen/Ward (Schmeichel starts next season, Iversen takes over as number one before Kasper leaves in summer 2023) Perreira/Castagne Fofana Evans Justin/ Thomas (Soyuncu leaves, two CBs needed, one experienced leader, one younger, Amartey may stay as cover) Ndidi KDH Maddison (assume Tielemans is leaving, Praet will not get game time under Rodgers, Mendy and Choudhury can also leave, decision needed on Soumare. Would love to get in a big physical destroyer in midfield and to help with set pieces) Barnes (Sell Perez, Buy Lookman as competition on left, two RWs needed and competition for Maddison at 10. Albrighton may stay as cover for RW or if we go 3 atb) Vardy Ihenacho Daka (We need a striker who can play on his own up top. Vardy is suffering with more injuries and Ihenacho/Daka cannot play on their own) I have listed 16 players to keep, 3 possibles and 5 to sell, so we need at least 6 players, assuming a 25 man squad, possibly 9. I know this won't happen, but we can dream can't we? Just seen the post above and totally forgot abut Bertrand and Vestergard, so two more to add to the sell (or shoot) list.

Soumare? Tielemans? Sangare?
