Our squad is full and we need to work out who is to move on if we are to continue to strengthen the squad. We may sell one or two excellent players as we could struggle to keep all the players happy. If all our full-backs were fit, I would imagine at least one would feel a little disgruntled at lack of game time. If things are going well, hopefully there will be no need to buy in January. If we are doing well with a settled squad with few injuries, this would be ideal. ...the only reason we would be dabbling in the January window would be if Vestergaard and Evans along with another CB are not likely to play for a few more months!!! We rarely trade in the January market and would be desperate or foolish to buy in that period.

But that would depend on outgoings.

I do not envisage any out goings in January nor anyone coming in to sure up the squad. The cost in January is far too high, and clubs would rightly be looking at charging a premium, in order to release players to us, as they themselves would have to find cover for the player being released. With the lack of real movements which has taken place in the recently concluded "window" there might be a plethora of comings and goings, although I really do not see this happening.

FoxyLeon Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Maybe not in January, but come the summer, I wouldn't be surprised to see Rodgers go after a left wing back, like we had the link with Gosens. Rodgers likes an option of 352, he used it last season, and at Liverpool too. ..........................Schmeichel ..........Fofana.........Evans.......Justin Ricardo...............................................LWB ............Tielemans...Ndidi...Soumare ....................Iheanacho....Daka Ward/Iversen Soyuncu/Vestegaard/Amartey Castagne/Bertrand/Thomas Choudhury/Mendy/KDH/Maddison Barnes/Perez/Albrighton/Lookman Vardy I think in Jan/Next summer, we need to look at improving and replacing Choudhury/Mendy and Perez/Albrighton, and a left wing back.

Ric Flair Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 Very early days yet but Luka Sucic at RB Salzburg looks like he's going to be a player. He's that sort of attacking midfielder that can play anywhere that Rodgers seemed to love as a player at Liverpool and Celtic and could develop in to a winger or be an 8 or 10.
CloudFox Posted 8 September 2021 Posted 8 September 2021 (edited) Very doubtful we'll sign anyone. I'd thought it was a bit of a myth that we didn't spend in January, but looking back on Transfermarkt, the last time we paid a fee in January to sign someone permanently...was Wilf. In 2017. How time flies eh? The only reason we would go into the market then is a) if we have no center backs at all or b) someone unmissable and attainable becomes available for loan (see: Tielemans). If the latter was Sané then, well, I think we all will need our collective jaws collected from the floor. But hey, no harm in dreaming eh? Edited 8 September 2021 by CloudFox

As for Mahrez, no!! Some people are unbelievable. Leroy Sane is streets ahead of any wide attacking player we have. His attitude is something else, his ability is unquestioned. He hasn't fitted in at Bayern doesn't mean he's not a very good player. So you wouldnt take Mahrez back and play him instead of Albrighton or Perez?? Ok mate suddenly I don't value your opinion at all.

All very well having the skillset but no one is going to touch you with the baggage that you bring. Irrespective of Mahrez's quality, I have no love for the player, due to his antics and claims that we took away two years out of his career. Contracts works both ways and it protects himself as well as the club. 1
FoxyLeon Posted 9 September 2021 Posted 9 September 2021 22 hours ago, Jimmy said: all the people writing Vardy off again Who is writing Vardy off? Suggesting he needs to be rotated more isn't 'writing him off'..... I guess you've missed our last 2 seasons then, when Vardy's form has dipped because of being overplayed, and the likes of Ndidi has been injury prone from over playing? Maddison still playing when unfit/injured/not bothered/out of form? Barnes injured from overplaying.....No doubt Justin's lack of rest was a factor too.....Evans being rushed back for every game possible? An injury like Fofana's, in a pre-season game, is bad luck. But it's not a coincidence that the likes of Barnes/Justin/Ndidi/Evans who were never getting rested, were more prone to injury. Tielemans somehow getting through last season without issue is an exception to the rule, not the rule itself. In Europe at home, and against sides like Norwich/Palace/Watford/Newcastle/Southampton etc, we have to be looking at times when we can rest Ndidi/Vardy/Barnes for the likes of Soumare/Daka/Lookman or do it by changing the system.

FoxyLeon Posted 9 September 2021 Posted 9 September 2021 Carvalho has looked decent for Fulham, but we're desperate for more physicality in this side. Justin's physicality is an underrated loss. Probably why we were looking at Spence from Boro too. Joakim Maehle looks like he was born for PL football to me. Get Fofana/Soumare to have a word with Kamara too.
Ric Flair Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 Barcelona are a disgrace, they've failed to register Alex Collado and have terminated his contract. We need this kid,get him signed and in for January.
I am an Ostrich Posted 19 September 2021 Posted 19 September 2021 Ismaïla Sarr & another CB Sarr is just the type of right flank player we need, always looks forward, and Evans appears broken. Vestegaard for a big lad is a bit of a powder puff and Cags well what can i say.
Ric Flair Posted 19 October 2021 Posted 19 October 2021 I don't know at what point this lad will get a work permit for over here but he's going to be a star - Odin Thiago Holm
Vindaloo FOX Posted 19 October 2021 Posted 19 October 2021 Probably don't need him but wouldn't mind us going in for Harry Souttar.

casablancas Posted 20 October 2021 Posted 20 October 2021 Anthony from Ajax and Diaz from Porto would be my wet dream. But think that’s a football manager fantasy seriously talented lads though.
