Guest Mickyblueeyes Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 He is a squad filler signing at best. A waste of wages when we are desperately in need of a good goalkeeper - a premier league standard keeper. Aside from the cb and the rw, adding another midfielder who may or may not adapt to Rodgers style is not the absolute priority.
DezFox Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 (edited) When will we ever improve the first team. This is a signing that we used to laugh at. Other fans will genuinely be saying now, “that is such a Leicester signing”. Please LCFC wake up!! You’re undoing years of progress. Edited 29 August 2022 by DezFox 3

ARM1968 Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Everything I’ve read about this guy screams BELLEND. Also, he’s not very good.

NasPb Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Tomorrow i will do a bit of a review of all the information I've compiled from my sources regarding him, (besides by own knowledge) and I'll write it out well. One thing needs to be clear though, he's not coming here as a praet replacement. Not even the same position or style. 1

st albans fox Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 My FIFA kids have given him the thumbs down in isolation this is not relevant when added to those who’ve made an actual assessment of his play it could be rather more significant…

Looks more like Maddison's position on the videos I saw. If that's the case then why oh why are we signing squad players as he's not exactly taking Maddisons place. We need first team ready players. Maybe he can play wide but it doesn't seem his normal position. This seems a typical Rodgers signing take a CAM and play them wide. If we are going to take a punt on someone at least Bowler looks a no brainer for a few million.

I think he'd be used across the front line, rm, lm, cam and even as a false nine. He had relative success last year under sampaoli in these spots. I won't be happy if we ONLY sign him though 1
NasPb Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 To put it this way, he's a player who drifts, he's not an out an out winger. He cuts inside a lot

He cuts inside a lot His technique at crossing, shooting and passing as abysmal. He seldom gets good contact on the ball and is one of the worst long range shooters of any creative player I've seen in quite some time. He is neither a Maddison stand in or a Barnes or the elusive RW stand in either. He is very good at running with the ball though and getting out of tight situations, can see why he was billed as the Moroccan Coutinho.
Foxxed Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 The board must hate Brendan at this point. "Do you remember the Under disaster?" "Yeah... why?" "Do you like Morocco?" "Yeah, alright for a holiday I guess." "Great. Then welcome to your rebuild. Enjoy"
Foxxed Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Newcastle is owned by a murderous regime Man City is owned by a murderous regime Forest's owner has attending court regarding bribery, match fixing and drug smuggling Our new attacking midfielder killed someone in a car accident and settled it for 300,000 euros Just give the league over to organised crime and be done with it 1
mozartfox Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 Mother of God Recruitment Team please sign any fvcking body.
Sunbury Fox Posted 29 August 2022 Posted 29 August 2022 How strong are the links to this guy? Could this be another Preki moment?

Just not a fan of naming managers as part of a transfer responsible group. But it is perhaps me who got the wrong end of the stick on this!
Pliskin Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 This idea of signing “Damaged” or wayward players that Brendan likes is just a ridiculous way to conduct business. This lad is genuinely shit, I know some fans don’t like it when we judge players before they have played, but trust me, when we say this geezer is shite, he is shite. Josh Bowler would probably do a better job and he will cost around £5m to sign. All Brendan will do is oversee some more hideous transfers, and then get sacked in a couple of weeks.
st albans fox Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 If we are signing this fella then it may just be as cover for a few areas and not as RW. Our RW target may not currently be attainable we could see more 3 atb whenever Barnes is unavailable if he doesn’t have the strength then unless he sticks out wide he will suffer the same fate as ghazal and diabate who became lost when they ventured out of that safe haven area and were swallowed up by the physicality of the league.
Nick Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 So if he’s crap and we have reservations about a signing, that’s a Brendan Rogers signing. If he’s good and we are keen it’s a Rudders and Wheelan masterclass. Brendan Rogers really is the forums new Wellens... 2
alanf0x Posted 30 August 2022 Posted 30 August 2022 I’m just surprised how many people on here have seen him play on a regular basis!!! Never heard of him!! 2

If what you’ve said is true how the hell did he pass as a fit and proper person?!

Like with the Stockport game - he fielded a strong team so he wasn’t giving youth a chance, and he was branded a coward (for wanting to win a game!). But you can bet if he’d have fielded 2-3 youth players he would have been accused of not taking it seriously. I don’t really think we can point the blame at Brendan for the things going on ‘behind the scenes’, recruitment or contract situations. Modern day managers are coaches of the first team.
