Pliskin Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 10 minutes ago, Claudio Fannieri said: I honestly believe there is a massive disconnect between Brendan and the club as to the profile of players and recruitment policy. I think the club want to return to the buy young hungry prospects and sell at a profit, whereas Brendan wants to buy ready made established players who will command higher wages and have limited sell on value. I think the club are cutting their cloth but also withholding funds ready for the next couple of windows that will likely be led by a new manager, who buys into the clubs strategy. I wouldn’t be surprised following the cleverly selected wording explaining the sacking of Scott Parker if we don’t use similar to justify our reasoning for letting Rodgers go over the coming weeks. I agree with you. I think the board are withholding some funds from Rodgers due to then no longer trusting him…. Just look at last seasons assets? One has disappeared, one is absolute bollocks and is refusing to leave, Soumare still shakes like a shitting dog on match day, and Daka is still playing in his slippers. Either way, they can’t be impressed with how Brendan has handled the squad recently. I think he is likely to be gone by Villa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxyJim1987 Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 I honestly think the club has possibly one day to save the season, it's that major. If we don't get one or two quality players in that can change the mood, change the course of our season, then we are in massive trouble of relegation. I am firmly in belief that Top is being over careful. 100m training ground and now stadium expansion on top of large net spend last summer, plus the very real possibility we have to find 10m plus to sack Brendan in the coming weeks. Fofana sale was not planned or accounted for, and probably not for the fee we've got either, we've been truly screwed over by a little greedy baby who couldn't have possibly spent another season here after playing just 30 odd games. His behaviour has forced us to sell. We probably expected Youri and a few others to have gone too, but hasn't happened. I'm sure that we aren't in financial trouble, or our owners are, as we wouldn't be planning such a large stadium expansion. But and this is a big but, we are in disarray due to bad coaching, poor confidence, game.management, and with the fixtures ahead, we need a change of something. Someone mentioned Adama Traore, this kind of signing can just make a huge difference, wouldn't cost the earth, yet would provide us with a right winger with pace who can affect a game. Perez or Albrighton can't do this. We have to make the opposition scared again, make them think. We are too easy and soft to play against. Get some signings in, please God, even if its more than we planned to spend, just do it to save our season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 We won’t sign anyone else on a permanent deal by the sounds of it, might make up the numbers with some squad fillers on loan if we can sell any more of our better players.

I think the club want to return to the buy young hungry prospects and sell at a profit, whereas Brendan wants to buy ready made established players who will command higher wages and have limited sell on value. I said this in the "Mess" thread a few weeks ago, this is exactly why you have a Director of Football and exactly why you give the Head Coach a voice but only a limited one when it comes to squad management and recruitment. In a world where coaches are in and out of clubs in short spells, they are all going to lean towards short termism when asked to recruit. They're like Politicians in office looking for popular quick wins to impress and cling on to their jobs. A DoF should have the time to put the best interest of the club first and build a squad designed to protect us for the future and guarantee more long term success and stability. Rudkin should know and understand the type of player Rodgers wants on a tactical and technical level, there's no point signing Riyad Mahrez for Sean Dyche or Wes Morgan for Pep Guardiola but that consideration should be something he has the intelligence to factor in without Rodgers actually dictating targets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozartfox Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 You would hope Glover has some names he can throw at us, he has done wonders at Southampton. Youngest Team in the EPL currently. But never mind we will bring in Craig Dawson and Gary Cahill. The Recruitment Team are under the spot light now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gav_LCFC14 Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 Problem is who is going to let their quality RW leave this late in the window without a replacement. We'll only be able to get the scraps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SafewayFox Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 As others said….Lacroix please. I really would love for us to somehow pry Sarr from Watford but unless we play a blinder and free up funds from the dross that we haven’t budged in months…looking very unlikely. Serious question - if the KP are that skint, is it arrogance/ignorance that they’re not seeking external investment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmayne7 Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 Faes Boga Bowler Another centre back That's not the most exciting but it would fill the gaps and wouldn't cost too much. Would obviously love a Madueke/Tsygankov type on the right with Bowler backing that up, along with Lacroix/Tapsoba as a more exciting centre back but seems that we won't spend £20m+ on a player even if we make some more money.

Scotch Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 In... Faes - £15m Diallo (Loan) Garner (Loan) Bowler - £4m Matheus Periera - £20m Out... Tielemans - £20m Fofana -£70m Vestergaard - £10m Perez - Free Praet - Loan That gives us... Two options to find a partner for Evans. Two options in finding a starting RWer with Bowler and Periera. Depth in cover for Barnes and Maddison in Periera. A straight replacement for Tielemans in Garner who may be more suited to playing alongside KDH in a CM 2 with Maddison ahead of them. This may also suit Soumare if we can find his role in the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB87_LCFC Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 (edited) Given the lateness of movement In Faes (£15m) Harit (loan with option) Boga (loan with option) Alban Lafont (£20m) Todibo (loan with option) Out Youri (£20m) Cags (£15m) Fofana (£70m) Praet (loan) Hirst (loan) Perez (free) Quite underwhelming but realistic at the same time, Lafont is an achievable move, Faes is pretty much done and so is Harit by all accounts. I think we have to have a sense of realism as fans here, yes we should be identifying better players but we don’t have the finance to do so, offset some money, stick with what we have plus additions, then go again in January.
