Saturday?

Maybe there should be no club badges because following a football club (like ours) can cause depression.

I am wondering what the intention is with this game. They have done 45 and 60 minutes in the last 2 friendlies, so you would expect 90 minutes for some of the players, so will he choose his possible starting 11 with a full bench and leave 14 players with nothing to do or will he use two different line ups to see who has absorbed his proposed tactics?

433, Winks, McAteer and El Khanouss behind Monga, Mavididi and Fatawu. 5-4 every week and we might win a few of those!

I think Monga would be better on the wing or at 10 rather than CB alongside Nelson!

Souttar is 6'6", Vestergaard is 6" 5'. Not sure if they count as players though!

Louis Page?

He'd be brilliant in the Championship. For the 3 minutes we played him. #CifuentesOut

He is a fantastic player and a great leader on the pitch. (Just in case prospective purchasers are reading this)

Every time I see new posts in this thread I hope to see a real link to him leaving. The problem is everyone knows he is not good enough.

Anderson?

If we shift all of the deadwood we would need to sign at least one striker to replace Daka and Ayew, we would also need a defensive midfielder. As you say though, any incoming players should be players who could develop further and whose value would increase through the period of their contract.

They would be more tempting for him.

Oh wow, I didn't expect that. Notice he is not holding a shirt though.

Conor Coady pleads for Rangers transfer green light from Leicester as star wary of ticking Champions League clock - Daily Record I thought we were pleading with him to go. It says that Cifuentes wants a look at him before sanctioning the move, if so #CifuentesOut.

Sell Faes, Coady, Vestergard, Kristiansen, Soumare, DeCordova-Reid and Daka, buy Hayden Hackney and Josh Sargent. We would have to fight off lower PL competition, but I am sure they would rather come to a well run club like LCFC!

Yes, we have to sell to buy and no one wants our crap.

31 years old, probably paid a lot and plays in a position where we have plenty of talent and cover, no chance.

As soon as the team is anounced for the first game with Faes, Vestergard, Soumare, DeCordova-Reid, Ayew and Daka all starting and none of the academy kids in the squad!

It's enough, Andy King has them fit and doing the basics. Cifuentes will add his special tactical sauce, whatever that is, and we will be champions despite the 15 point deduction. #EternalOptimist.

Rumors of a release clause?

Dodgy given that they value him at 15m Euros, but he allegedly has a relase clause well below that.

Souttar is out until end of year, I would play Okoli based purely on pre-season and would keep Thomas at LB.

This is a symptom of the situation we are in. We are linked to older players who are no longer good enough for PL teams, but can do a job in the Championship. We need to focus on younger players who can compete in the Championship now, but have the potential to be PL players next year.
