Our fans naivety about what we pay people never ceases to amaze me. What's him still being here in September got to do with anything? He might just want to sit his contract out, as after being crocked for a full season almost, he would definitely have to take a pay cut. Interested to know how you can confirm exactly how much everyone is earning?

Yeah because he's been out for most of our season anyway, so he quite clearly isn't going to get more or the same as what he's currently on also factoring in his age. Regardless of how much that actually is. Edited 25 June 2022 by Tommy Fresh
Finnegan Posted 25 June 2022 Posted 25 June 2022 1 hour ago, Tommy Fresh said: Sorry but no way is Bertrand on £78,000 a week Wouldn't surprise me. Signed on a free, was available for any and all to offer a contract to, we clearly had him lined up very early on as our priority to be cover at LB and we made an offer he didn't seem to need any time to think about. As shit as he's been for us, it'd be daft to think we were literally the only club in the world that gave him a contract offer and we had no competition to sign him.
Vindaloo FOX Posted 25 June 2022 Posted 25 June 2022 5 hours ago, Bordersfox said: I really hope we don't try and offload Soumare this window despite the rumblings. I know he has looked well off the pace. However, we'll make a huge loss presumably. He's a young player and he's had one stop start season and perhaps some personal issues which haven't helped. The scouting team must have seen something in him. Rodgers is allegedly an elite coach, so coach the b@stard and let's not write him off just yet. I feel he could turn it around, Soumare's biggest problem is work rate and being more physical. All things he could easily improve on if he wants to. 1

Thank goodness we didn't fall for the trick his agent tried to play though, he moved the goalposts and wanted a 4 year deal 😂😂😂😂 1

Hopefully he’ll return a different player this season

Regardless of how much that actually is. Bertrand's business brain is as sharp as a razor , so I would expect his contract to be a nice little earner. However I would have thought the club would have laid it off to an insurance company in the event of any injury absence.

To be honest, I don't think he's said anything wrong in regards to a rebuild. We have yearned to see a large chunk of fringe players or players that don't want to be here gotten rid of to free up the flexibility to then get players I'm when we see fit for 3 summers on the spin but we find it so difficult and we've now hit a brick wall. I don't know what the answer is, I feel like we can afford to lose 8 players and bring only 2-3 in. I'd honestly look at paying some of them off like Hamza, Perez, Bertrand etc. The problem I have with it is that he was responsible for a lot of the ones we need to clear out, or it at least happened in his time here. I'm quite cynical about the things he says after that particularly ridiculous interview after Everton. I've got a feeling he might go this season but will successfully frame it as the club letting him down rather than the other way round. 2
Sankey93 Posted 25 June 2022 Posted 25 June 2022 What about Vinicius Souza ? Lot of teams want him. Oh and he’s Brazilian! 1
JimJams Posted 26 June 2022 Posted 26 June 2022 Bit luxury unless Rodgers can get him arsed to do more. 1

Shane Posted 26 June 2022 Posted 26 June 2022 I wonder if we will try sign Tagliafico again. We’ve been linked with full backs and he’s available for €6m.

JimJams Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 Rumours Brighton are looking at him to replace Cucarella.
FosseSpark Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 I'm easy now if we don't sign anyone until January, post world cup. 23 below including the 8 highlighted players who missed more than 100 league games between them. Have listed the 9 most likely u23s to feature after their progress last season). Presuming we will move Vest and Choudhury on and assess Bertrand after pre season. Schmeichel Iversen Ward Justin Castagne Ricardo Thomas Bertrand Fofana Evans Amartey Soyuncu (Nelson, Brunt) Ndidi KDH Tielemans Maddison Mendy (Braybrooke, Wright, Madivadua) Barnes, Albrighton, Perez (Alves, Maswisinhe) Vardy, Daka, Iheanacho (Hirst, Popov) 1

Our priorities will become more apparent after a couple outgoings anyway, who knows who we will manage to shift on. Edited 27 June 2022 by Nicolo Barella
fox_up_north Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 This season will be a mess for everyone. I think a lot of clubs will just be looking to get back to normal in 2023. If we sign a CB and RW (even if it is Lookman) Youri's situation gets clarified and we shift some dead wood, I'll be happy. Next season will be awful as it'll be the inevitable Evans/ Vardy/ Kasper decisions.
BenTayfour Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 RW/LB/CB Versatile Squad players Ridle Baku as RW/RB Maxwel Cornet as LB/LW Ait-nouri as LB Rayan Cherki as RW I can't think of a sensible CB except for Tarks which is gone already.
sylofox Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 If we don't sell I only see us getting Lookman in and perhaps a CB.
sylofox Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 Perhaps Ericsksen on a free. But that's perhaps why he's holding off.
stu Posted 27 June 2022 Posted 27 June 2022 What is going on with Tete @Ric Flair? Any noises that Lyon are likely to sign him on a free when his Shakhtar contract expires next week, or could he be up for grabs?
