Chocolate Teapot Posted 6 May 2021 Share Posted 6 May 2021 Just now, Babylon said: There seems to be a lot of genuine links going around, for players that make a lot of sense. So we're either spending big or selling someone. Rodgers has also been on record to say that we'll sign a striker so chill @filbertway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've lost one winger to injury and decided to change the whole way we play. Also, forgive me for not taking Rodgers at his word He talks the talk and says what people want to hear, but it's hit and miss whether what he says comes to fruition.

Priority signings are those 2 positions, Gosens or a left back and then move on to a combative midfielder once Hamza is or Mendy is flogged. I suspect a 4th choice CB will join as well.

Absolutely agree ,Gosens would be very good but is not top priority , we still have periods when our control is not turning into goals. If we had had less of those we would be not far behind Man.City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans63 Posted 6 May 2021 Share Posted 6 May 2021 I think the issue is that what we need and what is available are often two different things. If a player like Gosens becomes available, and at a good price, we have to move or risk losing out to a rival. I'm sure the powers that be are well-aware of where our priorities lie but it's not Football Manager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty good chance we already have interest in Hamza given how close he came to leaving in winter. Wouldn’t be surprised if we already had a PL buyer lined up already, hence the interest in Soumaré.

Yes but like last season we couldn't get everyone we wanted due to finances. If we have the same issues again then the positions I'm less concerned about are DCM and a centre half. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genesis1 Posted 6 May 2021 Share Posted 6 May 2021 My issue with this is if Justin gets back to his best in January/February, it's a lot of money to spend on somebody for 6 months, it's 50/50, if Justin gets back to where he was, then one of them is benched when you feel they're to good for it, if we don't sign him, and Justin doesn't get back, we wish we got Gosens. Could be another Ricardo and Castagne situation I'm sensing where Justin doesn't look his old self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have every confidence JJ will come back even better. He is one of the most determined self- improvers I have seen. He will work and work until he becomes the best he can be. He is one to keep for the next seven or eight years. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My impression of Justin is that he is an excellent full back and decent cover at centre back, Gosens is an excellent wing back and a decent full back. Luke Thomas is a decent full back or wing back who could go on loan in January if Gosens comes in and Justin gets back to full fitness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However do think business will be done early this year - Gosens, Soumare and Edouard look most likeliest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the names we've been linked with will certainly move us forward. Gosens, Edouard, Soumare. All great players. If we can get them 3 in for under 70 Mil that will be great business. Then move a few out Praet, Hamza Mendy possibly . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolate Teapot Posted 17 May 2021 Share Posted 17 May 2021 I don't think he's coming even if we get champions league from what i've heard - wages massive and we've not pursued it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
