FoxyLeon Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 It's not really any different to any other year. In the past we've had regular interest Mahrez/Kante/Maguire/Soyuncu/Mahrez/Vardy etc. It seems worse because of the lack of transfer incomings, and our poor recruitment under Rodgers's tenure. That's the truth that his admirers don't want to listen to. In the past, we knew we were going to lose a key player every year, but we knew our recruitment team would reinvest the money and make us stronger. Under Rodgers, we've actually sold less key players, but his signings have been so poor, we haven't progressed the strength of our starting XI. Ultimately, with our change in the way we recruit, we have played ourselves. 1

However, as has been pointed out many, many, times Rodgers is just one small part of the recruitment process and not even the most important part. Criticise his tactics, man management or whatever else but do please stop banging on about recruitment as if he is not only coach but chief scout, head of recruitment and commercial director. 5

Quite agree, but….
moseeds Posted 30 July 2022 Posted 30 July 2022 Yes and no. I think when you start playing at this very top level you have got to wise up quickly and play just as dirty when necessary. Takes time to learn.
Spudulike Posted 31 July 2022 Posted 31 July 2022 It can't be far off now that certain journos decide that KDH is too good for us and should be playing for a dirty ESL club.

I think the post said ‘under BR’s tenure’. He has made changes to the recruitment team and process and whether he is directly responsible or not, the recent transfers haven’t paid off in the way they did in the past with Maddison, Wilf etc. I think it’s fair to criticise his overall tenure including transfer dealings. For what it’s worth I’m actually a Brendan fan on the whole, I just try to have a balanced view. 1

I have been very critical of Brendan but I do get frustrated by people trying to lay the blame for poor transfers at his door. We have scouts, a head of recruitment and director of football. If Todgers really is the omnipotent force controlling all of our business (God help us) then let's sack the lot of them and save their salaries. It's just factually a nonsense. He will have some input but I very much doubt the first or last word. 1
cruzFOX Posted 31 July 2022 Posted 31 July 2022 Very very weird funk our club is in regarding transfers. No way to sugar coat it. Hope the powers that be can sort this out. don’t like being in a vulnerable position.
STEVIE B Posted 31 July 2022 Posted 31 July 2022 We're just part of the food chain, aren't we ? Hardly being played. We don't sell our 'star' players as easily as we used to either. At the end of the day, if a player's head is turned by a so called bigger club with European football included, there's not much we can do. 1
