With wilf and hamza able to fill in at centre half he's a solid option in the midfield. He's the best holding midfielder we've got apart from wilf. I thought this looks a lot thinner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is Mendy not making the squad an example of Rodgers egotistical ways? It was a choice between Mendy and Hamza for the last spot and Mendy was half way out the door and Hamza fits the criteria for a home grown player in Europe - it’s not rocket science. Preat was a different story, he didn’t want to be a bench player and fair play to him - but when every is fit, he’s not in our best 11. Also Iheanacho is not our top man, he is a decent player but anyway you look at it, our third choice striker. Because Rodgers likes his players his way or the highway as the yanks say. That's the truth about it. Praet didn't play at all in the end of last season when perez and Maddison were awful. Now kelechi only plays as a striker when he's more versatile than that, which limits him. We all knew benko wouldn't have done anything him ever, shouldn't have registered him over mendy. Don't get me wrong I'm not Rodgers out, but these are all small examples of his biggest issue, which is his willingness to be more pragmatic. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Under could win the Ballon D'or elsewhere it doesn't really matter. He was pretty poor here, the simple fact Lookman has had more of impact. Comparing the Ligue 1 and the PL is also like comparing Suzuki to BMW, which probably explains why his doing well. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 31 January 2022 Share Posted 31 January 2022 He's not good enough. Offers almost nothing in possession and doesn't ahem the legs to be much use defensively. Leeds at home last season he was just out of his depth and pulled out of position constantly and couldn't protect the defence at all. He's costed us something like £292,500 per appearance, giving him a new contract and then not registering him in the squad was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LCCFox96 Posted 31 January 2022 Share Posted 31 January 2022 The Turkish window does not shut until February 8th so he does conceivably have time to play all the way through to the final and still make a move. IIIRC there was interest from a few clubs that never quite materialised in the summer. He could easily make that move in this window but it's deathly quiet so I agree with everyone saying a re-registration is more likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was Galatasaray last summer he tried to go to on deadline day but because he was with Senegal there wasn’t enough time to complete the deal Hopefully they renew their interest - would think after his performances in AFCON there would be some slight interest somewhere 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s certainly had a good Afcon and is getting a few media shoutouts which definitely won’t harm our case if we are looking to sell him this window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 2 February 2022 Share Posted 2 February 2022 This might be the greatest example of improvement by disassociation ever. He's miles off it.

Can’t move for people calling him player of the season so far last year (when we were still winning…!) Yeah plenty were speaking highly of him and he did have a couple of decent games but I personally think it was slight overcompensation due to how many had totally written him off. I just don't really see what he's good at. You have to play three defenders to cover up the fact teams steamroll us through the middle when he plays which costs you a player elsewhere and he's not really got any ambition in his passing either. He's decent at 'recycling' but honestly, I'd back the vast majority of midfielders to be able to do that if that's what they limited themselves to. Given there's a squad space free then he'll be registered but he's not the answer and I just can't be convinced of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
