It'd be nice to get in a midfielder who will go forward ie Tielemans and somehow get rid of James and King. Sounds ominous 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be truly amazed and shocked in equal measure if we even had a chance of getting him in! Just saw that they managed to increase his release clause from €30 million to €120 million. Welp, it was a nice fantasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a link player in midfield, a new striker is a must (Wilson would be a very good shout, if he can get back to some of that pre injury form). I think Scott Sinclair and Daniel Sturridge could be on our radar, given their affinity to Rodgers, too. Both vastly experienced and both will only be 30 at the start/near to the beginning of next season. Lallana and Ings may also fall into that bracket but I wouldn't be surprised if he looks to some of his old clubs. I think we could see quite a busy summer, actually, thinking about it. Not probably on the same level we had with Sven but not far off. Filling the squad full of injury prone 30 year olds... nope! We perhaps need a couple of more experienced players, but injury plagued ones scream trouble ahead. We don't need to buy loads of players. We have loads of young players here already that need to be progressed. It's been the clubs mantra, he has a record of working with kids and said himself we have lots of young exciting talent. Buying players puts them down the pecking order, makes no sense. The gaps are glaring, striker, left back backup, CM and maybe, maybe a winger. Anything else would depend on selling a player which won't be easy. CM is an issue, I like the look of Tielemans but we look so raw in there at the minute it screams out for an older head to help them. But that might change the more he plays in the league.

It's more the issue I know from other managers that they have certain players who follow them, anywhere they do. Cloughie had it with some of his squad elsewhere... (will refrain from uttering their names). Sinclair, for me, is the most likely of his ex players. But yes, I definitely agree with you re Tielemans. Another thing I hope he gets us doing is spreading the play more across the width of the pitch. We have a tendency, sometimes, to get boxed in and then the idea breaks down and we lose the ball. If we are to play passing football (which is still my preferred method, ironically), then we have got to be far more composed when in possession.

North Leeds Fox Posted 1 March 2019 Share Posted 1 March 2019 Sessegnon delph tielemans Che Adams/mitrovic This is dependant on none of our big players leaving and having gray and nacho raising their game before the end of this season.

Milner is the one experienced player who we tried to sign in the last few years that I'm gutted we missed out on. He would still be spot on for us. Henderson would also be very good here, would likely come and be Rodgers captain. I think if we dont get Tielemans then he will launch an ambitious attempt to get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milner would be brilliant. Given that he's unlikely to get offers from any club in the top 6 and he's worked with Rodgers previously, it would be a pretty realistic transfer. Out of contract in the summer according to transfermarkt. Seemingly happy to be a squad player, capable of covering multiple positions*, model pro. Wouldn't surprise me if we brought him in as a player-coach, even, to work with some of the youngsters. *Including both FB spots, which means we wouldn't have to go out and buy a backup LB (tricky given Chilwell locking down that spot) and instead could focus on developing some of the youth prospects. Never been a huge fan of Henderson, but he had a great world cup and Rodgers seems to rate him, and he could fit in nicely as an alternative to Tielemans.

Henderson is underrated, he might not be as dynamic as Tielemans but he wouldn't fall in to the same trap that our other midfielders have done during the Puel regime. He is a class above. Got a feeling he will leave in the summer as Liverpool will chuff up a load more dough for signings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotch Posted 1 March 2019 Share Posted 1 March 2019 Delph totally went out of my head. Would be perfect signing. Cover for left back, cover for CM and an experienced head to bring on our youth. Tielemans Mitrovic Delph And a winger. Go all out for Brooks? Those four would cost a fair amount but with the players we have would leave us with a very good squad...

Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 1 March 2019 Share Posted 1 March 2019 Our squad does not need a drastic overhaul; we have some very good players who simply need to be (correctly) coached. I can see 1 or 2 CM's coming in and 1 striker. I'm hopeful that we will sign Tielmans. In regards to strikers, I think Alfredo Morelos has the potential to be a bit special; and more importantly attainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerard Posted 1 March 2019 Share Posted 1 March 2019 (edited) 20 hours ago, rachhere said: Really starting to think we might have a shot now in getting Tielemans, so that's a priority for me. I am going to be surprised if Sturridge doesn't come so he can reignite his career with Rodgers - he still should have a few years in him yet, and while no doubt he would want more playing time than he's getting at Liverpool, should be ok with not being a regular starter. Other than that the priority for me is a young striker to understudy for Vardy and replacement full back with both Simpson and Fuchs moving on. I think Tielemans is a strong possibility now as well. He'll probably be impressed with Rodgers and the quality of players around him at Leicester especially as many of them are of a similar age to him. If Silva performs at Monaco which he has up to now then this makes the deal a whole lot easier. Edited 1 March 2019 by Gerard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
