Popular Post Kopfkino Posted 31 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2022 This is definitely a case of Brendan with his broken silver medalist or whatever his spiel is thinking he can coach them into a worldbeater. Almost certainly plays ‘Fix You’ down the phone when he’s convincing them to come 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volpeazzurro Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 Haven't a clue what he's like. However, the mere fact that Rodgers or Congerton may have remotely been near him or spoken together about him makes him tainted goods for me. Wonder if Rodgers son is his agent 🤔 🤣. Would sooner risk Bowler from Blackpool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post LFox99 Posted 31 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2022 Don't get me wrong, I'd like Bowler but I'm a bit confused as to how he's become this sort of messias figure for our RW problem. He's a 23 yr old player who's not done too much in his championship career. Someone was slating Boga for having 24 goals, 10 assists in his 130 appearances; Bowler has 16 goals 7 assists in 100 appearances at a worse level. Again, I'll gladly take Bowler as an option in the squad but seeing him as this magic pill just because "well Bowen turned out alright" is silly 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JimJams Posted 31 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 31 August 2022 Interest in Boga confirms my conspiracy theory. Our recruitment policy revolves around some sort of Wordle game. Wes Fofana out, Wout Faes in. We're now linked to Jeremie Boga, Josh Brownhill and Josh Bowler. And the only explanation for the Jannik Vestergaard signing is because he shares a link to Jamie Vardy. Theres something in this... Holy shit we were linked to Jan Bednarek too ! 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 Incidentally I'm still at the point where my conspiracy theory has absolutely f#*k all behind it other than spotting an odd coincidence. If I can make something up I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely we need a continue are past policy of buying young up and coming talent for peanuts and sell for substantial profit every year to fund our recruitment because we don't seem to be get big cash injections from anywhere else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Realist Guy In The Room Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 If we get him, top 6 is back on. A proper difference maker and will suit us down to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably would've had the same debate last summer had we been linked with a young Luton player called KDH. Circumstances different, but would we have taken a 'risk' on him?

desertfox2 Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 I thought we got rid of Congerton because he was thrown under the bus by Rodgers for all of our poor transfer business despite everyone saying he was a really bad choice anyway when he joined. So why the fock are we linked to every player at his new club good or bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigGibbo Posted 31 August 2022 Share Posted 31 August 2022 So we're going to end up paying more for the player that Ademola Lookman knocked out of the Atalanta Starting lineup than we could have payed for Lookman himself, who was already an underwhelming potential signing? Jesus Christ this better be another smoke screen. That or Rodgers and Congerton are just trying to stick it to us for "not backing" them... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's absolutely no positives for a player who didn't score or assist in an inferior league to ours last season. He's had 1 decent season and the rest crap, where have we heard that before? He's not young either, I don't see how he's worth the effort. So many better players available. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t work out certain clubs for some players, he had a superb season at Sassuolo, probably shouldn’t have left by the looks of it. Would be okay on loan to rotate with Barnes (and allow us to play 433 more), but given they just paid £20m to make it a perm, I don’t think we should be buying him… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This cannot be the best we can hope for as a club, how the fcuk has it got to this? Not having it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
