Our lack of depth in attack is embarrassing when compared against the clubs ambitions. Really !! There is something embarrassing here but I don't feel it's our lack of depth.

Secondly, It's not anything to do with one bad game, this has been a problem for years. For years? Yeah really struggled to score goals for years. 2 of the highest scoring midfielders in the league but yeah its been a problem for years! Look at the bigger picture. The money isn't there to risk a signing. Big clubs aren't going to loan us players as it could back fire on them. With Covid and Brexit it's made bringing in players from abroad pretty much impossible. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox85 Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 (edited) 5 key players out injured currently. 2 for longer than a month potentially 3 depending on Castagne. No incoming transfers is poor business from the club. Ground hog day of last season incoming the poor form will drop. Going by the way this season is going we could end up 10th in no time. I suppose we can all hope for the best thou but another window we have absolutely failed in Edited 1 February 2021 by Fox85 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To get us through the season with the amount of games with Europe Cup aswell. The recruiting team have dragged their heels and ****ed us. Plenty of good players signed for other teams while we have sat back and tried to sign Chalobah absolute shambles. As for your crystal ball method the manager needs to take in account for future injuries and also the run of games and force transfers/Loans. Hopefully we have been smart and we continue to do well but I can see the same as last season happening Edited 1 February 2021 by Fox85 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one wants to do business with us who we'd normally be able to get a loan deal in from. No chance the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal were ever sending us anyone Exactly, we aren't going to be strengthened by teams around us. It's a setback of doing well and means we have to look elsewhere, unfortunately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're missing the point and to spell it out we obviously don't have the money to risk it and pay over the odds in probably the toughest transfer window ever.

foxes_rule1978 Posted 1 February 2021 Share Posted 1 February 2021 Liverpool have had to sign a 25 year old from Preston, not saying he is bad but shows the problem. Covid and Brexit have made it tough to get any proven quality in. It is a gamble for liverpool giving he will be going straight in pretty much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It showed the rest of the league that without Vardy and Wilf were easily beatable something we will more than likely see again on Wednesday.

You need to look at the bigger picture. When you do you will realise we are doing amazingly, are ambitious and are threatening to do something every club bar 6 in the country can only dream of doing. I really struggle to engage on this place after a defeat as it's always seems to be treated like the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with both it is obvious that we are short upfront and it's rammed down your throat every 5 Mins by commentators that Vardy isn't playing. It's just not an easy market to be buying in. If a team like Liverpo with the pulling power, financial resource the sheer desperation they have shown to try and get cover for their defense which they have need all month as well. I'm sure we won't be having this sort of conversations on deadline day in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
