“There’s no doubt we need more options going forward. If we have European football next season it will increase the number of games and of course we’ll then need to improve the squad for that,” he said.

I read 'going forwards' as in we need more options in the future (not position specific) rather than we need more options up front.

None of those quotes from Rodgers indicate that we're looking specifically at a striker. I wouldn't be surprised if we were, but that article itself is a bit pointless.

Brendan said yesterday on the Radio that they will be looking to strengthen the forward line.

I think most LCFC supporters could have wrote that, the areas of weakness in the squad are pretty easy to spot.

TL;DR: We want a striker and a winger, especially with Europe on the horizon. Rodgers prefers to work with a smaller squad, so don't expect a huge influx of players.

Without doubt we need quality over quantity.

If it was any other journalist, I would agree. However, as it's Percy I tend to take what he says on us as gospel.

 

But yeah, nothing in there we all didn't already know.

I would expect 5/6 coming in personally. The club is just keeping its cards close to their chest.

I think we'll only get more than four if Chilwell leaves, and even then I would be surprised to see them sign six players.

 

A striker, a winger, a centre-back and a cover attacking midfielder will do. Offload Gray, Amartey and James, send Bennett back, let Mendy go, and keep one of Knight or Dewsbury-Hall.

 

The club only went for four players last summer and then a 5th when Maguire left. In the end, they didn't get the CB replacement so settled with keeping Benkovic.

 

Given the training ground, potential to miss out on CL, the COVID situation including rebate and lack of matchday revenue, I don't think there is much appetite for big spending. Unless they were to do lots of loans with obligations to buy next summer to avoid short term cash issues?

I get so excited at the thought of a new striker coming in, don’t know why as lately they mainly been poor. Gotta change sometime. A slimani/ulloa build with vardy still of play would be amazing. Am I dreaming too much? 

Considering Rodgers has been on record multiple times as not resorting to Target Man tactics, I think the only striking partnership is likely to be one like the one we have right now.

I think nacho has looked stand out recently. Since he's been playing better, he's been able to keep the ball and offload it well, at first I thought he was fluking it but I feel like he's actually a lot more nimble on the ball then I thought lol. I think nacho can score a decent amount over the course of a season given a decent run. We are definitely crying out for a real quality winger though. Mahrez style if possible. Looking back at Vardy's 100 goals, so many involved a great set up from Mahrez.

So is Chelsea basically planning on signing everyone?
