kingfox Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 If no big departures, then two more in will see us set well for next season. An experienced CB who can step in for Evans, then a winger of some sort, not sure why fans are clamouring for a top class one though, you have to ask yourself, where would he fit? 4-2-3-1, you’d be leaving two of Vardy, Iheanacho & Daka out most weeks, can’t see Rodgers doing that. 3-4-3, you’d be leaving out Maddison and two of Vardy, Iheanacho & Daka, can’t see Rodgers doing that. 3-4-1-2, the we wouldn’t be playing with wingers at all. Ideally we need someone with potential, either permanently or on loan, who can start every now and then, but would find himself on the bench more often than not. One of Mikel Damsgaard, Dan James, Noni Madueke, Francisco Trincao, Michael Olise or someone of their ilk would be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the rules regarding the number of foreign players that can be fielded at any one time? Or has that rule gone. What difference does it make if a player is English? Was that ever a rule? I believe your 25-man squad for European competition has to have at least 8 players who trained in the country for 3 years between the ages of 16 and 21, including 4 who did that at your club. None have to play, and none have to be English, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a good academy which has produced at least 2 quality first team products. Long may that continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 We all know we need a right winger, preferably left footed, who’s going to score around 10 and assist a similar number. Someone who’ll start the big games. I’m struggling to think of viable candidates. The likes of Ikone, Stengs, Bailey, Faivre & Olise all have something to offer, but aren’t we now looking for better, more (forgive me) ‘oven-ready’? So if it’s not Berardi, I do hope it’s Trincao. Who else is there that fits the bill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CloudFox Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Doku looks like he has a lot of potential, but he's right footed. He has tended to play on the right, but he's not the left footed right winger we're seeking, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He came on in the last two games after missing the opening ones so it looks like he could be ready to be more involved. He is seriously talented.

sacreblueits442 Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 9 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Bailey has played the majority of his Leverkusen career on the left, but he can absolutely played on the right which he did for a spell at Genk that earn him the move to Germany. Given we may be pursuing loan moves with options/obligations to buy I do wonder if Ajax would be open to a deal on Neres. ...would love to have Neres here!!! Have looked at him coming here for the last three seasons but the liklihood of this happening is pretty much a pipe dream. In an effort to improve a move to the Premiership with a new style of play and defenders he will come up against will be a learning opportunity and they need to look to challenge themselves or stagnate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that valuations on that site turn out to be as little as 50% of the actual transfer value. Wouldn't that put him out of our reach? There are the usual risk factors associated with him too - playing in a lesser league, fairly frequent injuries etc. On the other hand, a left-footed right winger is our dream ... Will be interesting to get a look at him this evening. Edited 3 July 2021 by deep blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will be interesting to get a look at him this evening. I may be wrong but I wouldn’t have expected him to even cost that much to be honest coming from the Ukrainian League. I will say though that there is a Ukrainian premium when buying from Kyiv or Shakthar as they have really strict foreign player limits in their league so Ukrainian footballers do always go for a bit more.

His defensive work rate is what ought to appeal to Rodgers, nevermind how strong he is in attack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 20 years old, has the pace and technical ability to be top player in the next few years. His all-round game is already very good for his age just needs a bit more end product. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolo Barella Posted 3 July 2021 Share Posted 3 July 2021 18 hours ago, Ric Flair said: If that is the case then we've learnt absolutely nothing yet again. Our problems for a 2nd season running last year was not having enough quality attacking midfielders and wingers. We can have all the strikers and defensive midfielders in the world but if you can't create the chances or bring goals from elsewhere then we'll not break that barrier in to the top 4. It's not it anyway, we will bring 2 more in. We'll get a RW in for sure but I heavily doubt we'll get another big signing in after that, if we get anyone else in it will be on loan or a free, or for very cheap.
