For the 1000th time, Slimani will not come back here, other members of the squad WILL NOT play with him, they don't want him around. It's been repeated about 500 times. Slimani and a couple of others in our squad didn't get on.

source?

We went a whole window where we wanted a CB, we couldn't get the primary target so took a loan deal to let a prospect get 6 months on loan. You know, a carbon copy of the January 2017 window where the club wanted Maguire or Gibson, couldn't get either as their clubs were fighting for their lives, settled for Wague on loan as cover, then got their no.1 target for pennies in the summer. There is nothing worse than scrambling around and paying over the odds in January, cough Andy Carroll to Liverpool cough.

 

Nobody would've thought we'd have needed Bennett given Benkovic hardly played in the first half of the season (not in the league whatsoever) and the fact our injury record is the joint best in the division by far since promotion. Shit happens.

 

You can say I'm spinning it but I'm looking at the facts of how the window works. Those easy deals that I mentioned mostly get done first, if the club don't have primary targets among those groups of players then they won't get them. We are then chucking £20-40m, huge money in difficult and drawn out negotiations in a time when every penny counts, it takes time. The club are not going to do one deal at a time and risk the rest getting snapped up, it's not just Rudkin sat on his laptop on his own.

We were folks to let beckovic go on loan... we needed cover.  We ended up having to get bennet in and play him. I hope we have learned this lesson

But we sedom do more than one deal at a time, got a poor track record of bringing multiple players in over a few week period. Koch for the price he has gone to Leeds is a huge disappointment, lets hope Kabak is the one we want more.

Short memory sure rarely we put more than one deal at a time but 2 years ago we completed Evans,Maddison and Ricardo on 1st July 2018, if the targets have been identified and the right price is available the club will put through more than one deal at a time.

Obviously reading this thread and others its clear certain posters are not worried about our current position re lack of transfer activity.  Lets however look at it another way.

 

Read what into it whatever you like but the facts are this current crop of players we have have won four games since January......yes four games.

 

We will be now going into another season with the same group of players bar one Chilwell.

 

We have extra games to contend with in the Europa league I think Wolves last season played in excess of 63 games.  Considering how many they had they did bloody well to compete.  I would arguably say their squad overall does have better players when you compare the respective benches.  We are going to need better quality in the squad in order to compete.  We already have injuries to key players Pierera, Maddison Not including big Wes who quite frankly should retire.

 

If one of Vardy, Tielamans or Soyuncu were to get injured early in the campaign it does not bear thinking about.

 

At this moment in time there has been no mention of Evans, Ndidi or Perez.  Where are they?

 

We need at least four new signings.  Another striker, a  left back to replace Chilwell Thomas is not the answer.  A wide player and perhaps an attacking midfielder too many of ours are passive.

 

I for one am extremely worried for this season.  Silence from the club is deafening.  We show no signs of delving into the transfer market or addressing our problems.  We should be showing ambition instead we are relying on a 36 yr old centre back and a deluge of young kids to see us through this season.

These players have proven to be a minimum of a midtable team for three seasons running.
 

Yes the form was and is a concern, but it’s not about the players because we’ve all seen what we can do. It’s just about getting it out of them. Buying a load of new players doesn’t solve a problem if Rodgers similarly struggles to get performances out of them.

 

We also have plenty of time to make transfers still and let’s not forget nobody else is really strengthening either.

 

I’ll worry when there is something to worry about about. This happens every summer, people throw their toys and then we sign players.

I always  felt slimani has the potential but it was a bad fit, we had a working trio of shinji, vardy and ulloa.  I dont think slimani is a bad player its just not a case of circle for a circle hole.
