The Romanian player looks interesting, but now that we are Brexit Britain, it's going to be very hard to get players like that in these days. Patson Daka is a great player, and that could be exactly the type of player I could see ending up at Leicester actually, depending on when he leaves. He's the sort of player that is most likely going to be very good (but not Haaland good), but needs to go to a team where he can play every week to learn the bigger leagues without being under huge pressure. Possibly next season, if not definitely the one after, I imagine Vardy will be managed a lot more carefully and I can only see him playing one game a week. That would be the perfect time to bring someone like him in, though I think it will be someone else. It wouldn't surprise me if we landed Edouard from Celtic instead though. Actually though I have to say that the Red Bull clubs really piss me off, as it seems massively unfair that they can essentially trade players among themselves! Now to be fair, we are clearly trying to do exactly the same thing with OHL, because our owners are smart and can see what the future of football is going to look like. But I think it's massively dangerous and crappy that we are going to essentially end up with a few "franchises" that control the football world, making it next to impossible for anyone else to get in. These bigger franchises will scout the best talent in developing countries, use their tier 2 teams to develop them, and then transfer them to their tier 1 teams without anyone else being able to contest the player sale. It is indeed a bit naughty but might be the only way we obtain players on a level playing field with other countries who don't have the same excessive restrictions in recruiting players from all over the world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 We need to stick £20m of the queens big ones under Salzburg’s nose for Daka. Kid is an absolute monster. Send Kalechi back the other way. Come on Brenners get on the blower and get it done. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heymister2015 Posted 1 January 2021 Share Posted 1 January 2021 What about the winger Man U want from Atalanta. Same offer! Just more game time and a better training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liverpool managed to snaffle another U18 overseas player last week too, surprised we didn't look to make one last push for such players either last summer or in recent weeks.

Also Under is a much more impressive player. Edited 2 January 2021 by honeybradger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But knowing us we will start chasing Edouard.... which would be a proper marathon leading to us over paying for him. I’d much rather we turned our attention to the many other ridiculously talented young forwards that are knocking about. Snap one up now to sit under Vardy would be ideal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxfanazer Posted 2 January 2021 Share Posted 2 January 2021 Seen us loosely linked to Ryan Christie. Wouldn't cost too much as he's out of contract in a year but not entirely sure he'd improve us too much and it's hardly a position we're desperate for. Of course it could just be lazy journalism due to the Celtic/Rodgers link. Arsenal and Southampton also said to be interested in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laugh when supporters attach players to managers. All about our style of play and finding players and managers who fit the profile. Club infrastructure, not the whims of a manager, are one of our most important assets. Edited 2 January 2021 by SO1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we all know Rodgers has an absolute hard on for ball playing CB"s. The moment I saw Soyuncu with the ball at his feet it was a match made in heaven. The rumour at Celtic at the time was that it was a career ending / recurrent injury. If its not then we should absolutely be in for him. Id imagine Congerton still has him on the radar if the situation has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
