Ric Flair Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 If indeed true it backs up my suspicions that we don't want another expected starter at the back over Maguire, Huth and Morgan. I think we're content with the options except for Benalouane and we are perhaps only looking for a backup to him.
Fox 4 Life Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Wasn't Maguire "cheaper" because he was in the last year of his contract? If he had multiple years I am sure Hull would have wanted 20-25m - and you can see why!
yorkie1999 Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Sakho Sakho he's our man if he can't stop them no-one can.

In all seriousness, we've spent about £55m and got back about £12m this summer. So, I'd be surprised if we would fund the purchase of any other signings without there being someone going out. On this basis, if we got Sakho on loan, I reckon that would suit all, no?

We don't unfortunately - Wes is being influential shall we say or rather we do, but senior players are putting pressure on the club.

Not to sign another starter at CB which would make wes and Huth bench warmers 'the lunatics are taking over the asylum'. It's one thing for the players to dictate but they need to deliver in the league and they didn't last season. If the senior players are making the running in stopping some recruitment then they can't moan at the end of a disappointing campaign that they need a move to experience success again or move their careers on.

Sounds like a major disadvantage to having CS in charge

brucey Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 As long as the players are delivering on the pitch I won't moan too much about this 'self-managing dressing room' business. They better bloody hurry up and heal up though.
HighPeakFox Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Can I safely assume that this stuff about the players pulling strings is nothing more than speculation based on not much at all?

Ric Flair Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 There can't be many other reasons why we aren't actively pursuing a centre half, I've been saying it for weeks. It could be our downfall being too loyal to this aging defense.

The fact that we don't have coverage for injuries has to be obvious to LCFC management.

baldeagle Posted 25 August 2017 Posted 25 August 2017 Players are only human. If you look at it logically no one wants to lose their job or be replaced by someone younger so of course your going to moan its human nature. I know if my boss was getting someone else in to do my job I wouldn't be happy and I'd do everything I could to keep it . Doesn't mean the boss is going to listen though .

How fcukin hard is it to find a centre half?i'm telling you mate, we aren't that bothered. We certainly aren't going out of our way to get one in. The bid for Evans was apparently before Maguire signed so in the last 8-9 weeks we've done fcuk all in regards to our defence yet in that time Huth's got injured, Morgan and Maguire have picked up knocks and Benalouane has turned in to Raoul Moat. As you were. We won't sign another CB this window, if we do I'll hold my hands up but it certainly won't be someone who's starting material.
