Heymister2015 Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 If we’re planning on making a poor signing like last January that doesn’t lift the group! Then my suggestion adebayo akinfenwa from Wycombe. If we’re serious and want to give the group a huge boost going into the final months of the season!! I’d Suggest Thomas Lemar or Jovic on loan.

BKLFox Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 Those knocking Dele Alli probably also knock John Stones but either or both I wouldn’t mind signing as they would thrive under Rodgers. I’m not a fan of Alli’s character but then I don’t know the kid to see if what I see on the tv is him or not, I do know that he can play and at some point somethings happened to knock him off track this could be injury, personal life or manager we know Jose has his ways. Likewise for Stones at some point that performance or confidence will return him back to the starting 11 for Man C, it’s starting happen now. A lot of forum experts live in the now and past performances or future potential are just a blur either side of the ‘now’ that’s why we get a new ‘player’ thread after every loss or win either slating a player and calling for him to be dropped or lording up a player that hasn’t played for awhile and should now be played, all after a single 90mins. I respect that everyones entitled to their own opinion on a football forum but doesn’t it get exhausting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammo Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 Anyone mentioned Manor Solomon yet? Watched him a few times for both Israel and Shakhtar and he has stood out every time. A really exciting young (21) penetrative attacking midfielder or second striker with an eye for goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect that everyones entitled to their own opinion on a football forum but doesn’t it get exhausting? I only think Ali would benefit from Rodgers for a very limited time if at all. Mourhinio hasn't dropped him for no good reason, the fact is that Kane and Son are simply better. Ali is sulking because he either can't appreciate that or he's a sulky character if not getting his own way. Gone it seems with him to try and improve to fight his way back into the team. Who would we realistically leave out of our team for him because he's significantly better than? Rodgers wants players like Fuchs and Perez who, if not playing, is well prepared when called upon. Whatever I've said about Perez in the past I do salute his apparent attitude to not playing. We use the term managerial arm around the shoulder but Ali needs a kick up the arse. As for Stones, he's always a mistake waiting to happen, Rodgers hasn't got a magic wand and he wouldn't get into our team at the moment plus he'd be an expensive bench warmer. If we want to spend money we've got more pressing priorities than these two positions. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fox_up_north Posted 12 December 2020 Share Posted 12 December 2020 Ali is a very good player, when his head is in the game but he needs a worker next to him. If he's in a team with Ndidi then absolutely I'd be interested - if the price is right. But I doubt it will be. He doesn't strike me as a head down and focus type. Plus, aren't we supposed to be signing players with a winning mentality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wouldn't get into our team ahead of Maddison or Tielemans and if he can't get motivated to play for Spurs there's no chance he would for Leicester.

All I’ve said is that he’s really not dogshit. On current form he’s not even close to Youri. Madders we will see I think it’s a big season for him. But your opinion is your opinion.
