Wingers I’m less sure on. Sarr interests me but isn’t consistent, and I’d even consider Traore for a bit of chaos and create some space for others Take out Barnes and our lack of pace up top that worries defenders is a crime. I know loads of people on here say Sarr or even to a lesser extent Traore wouldn’t help us against a low block but we struggle against any block. We need to go back to some form of high press football which can only be done with players who have the legs (brain) for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeg67 Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 I like the idea of bringing in loans to help us get through the season without going down, and leaving the choice of permanent additions in the hands of the new manager. We should be in a better position in terms of squad bloat and salary next summer, too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst I agree if the tough times really do kick in and have to show a bit of fight not sure a player on loan has that mentality. On paper, I love the idea too just feel our club is heading into a very dangerous place right now….Rudders (even Top) have a bit of answering to do, sleepwalking is the best phrase right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no “even” to it - this is happening on Top’s watch. He’s allowing it to fester. I admit there are risks in going the loan route. But can you really let a lame-duck Rodgers choose new players to bring in on permanent deals, that the club and the new gaffer will be saddled with after he’s inevitably fired?

st albans fox Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 Quick question - how many of the suggestions for a CB or RW or YT replacement would get a work permit without an appeal process which may not go in our favour ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st albans fox Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 So you can buy any player from German/French/ Spanish/Italian/Portuguese premier divisions and they don’t need to have represented their country at any level, nor played in a European tie ??

escape2victory Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 In an ideal world the next few days would see us obviously confirm the Fofana sale, Perez off on a free and somehow get rid of Vestergaard and Soyuncu. We then bring in 2 x CBs, a back up left winger and a starting right winger. I know in reality it will just be Akanji coming in on deadline day, on loan with an option to buy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jock's Hill Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 Difficult to see how we can achieve any sort of success in this transfer window. We needed to get players out, well Soumare has now changed his mind and Vestergaard wants to fight for his place. Perez may or may not leave on a free. Presumably Fofana will complete his move to Chelsea at the beginning of the week leaving us 2-3 days to get replacement(s). This will still leave us with far too many players and several will probably not get a place in the Premier League squad. What then happens with them? It all feels like nothing will change. We still have Soyuncu, Vestergaard and Amartey as central defenders which is where our weakness is at the moment. Fofana's replacement will have to be good and stay fit. Ideally we need to ship out two more players than we get in. So, if the ideal is a new CB and a RW then 4 players need to leave. Not holding out much hope that anything near this scenario will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarkFox Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 (edited) This summer/January: 2 creative players (wingers preferred) 1 new CB Perez/Fofana - leave Next Summer: Goalkeeper a new No1 New Natural LB Target man upfront to give us another dimension. Someone like Ivan Toney. Get rid of deadwood - Ward, amartey, albrighton, mendy.

It's made it easier to sign non European based players who feature in the Champions League equivalent in South America and Asia but made it harder to sign players from outside the top 5 European leagues unless the players play the majority of international games for their country and feature in Europe for their clubs. Absolutely no hope of getting players from 2nd divisions in the likes of France, Spain, Italy etc any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FerrisBueller Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 I’m clinging on to the hope that we usually do our business quietly and that the Fofana replacement is not one of the names already mentioned. I mean, they wouldn’t not replace him would they…? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
