reynard Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Feels a bit like when we signed those two Hungarian guys under Holloway and that ended well. We're just so desperate it is a joke. This guy has never done any good anywhere he's been the very epitome of bang average or just under bang average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I've said it a few times but the more I think about it the more I am convinced that cover for Barnes is a bigger priority for us than a new RW. Honestly, I actually do think I agree with that. If Barnes is injured we have to change the whole shape, where as we've got multiple options on the right that Rodgers will happily play and keep the 433. In which case, it makes it even more ludicrous that we didn’t bring Lookman in for £14m/£15m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 26 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: I get it, but the simple solution to all of this is you sign an actual right winger who CAN play on the left, not the other way around. Then if Barnes is injured they move to the left and Maddison or Ayo play on the right. I don't disagree fundamentally I'm just saying I don't think the club are wildly incompetent for signing a left winger. Everyone's acting like Rudkin needs to tattoo L and R on his hands but I'm pretty sure it's actually a deliberate strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iran Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Do not feel optimistic about this signing... but I will give him a chance of at least kicking the ball I guess? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had no money, so it's not that ludicrous. If we'd managed to sell Praet, Vestergaard, Tielemans, Soyuncu amongst others, our window would have been different. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don’t take risks enough. And eventually it will catch up with us… We have for the last two summers - no departures from the club and grew the wage bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxinNotts Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 I'll be viewing it as back up for Barnes. But that leaves us with Ayoze Perez and Albrighton as our 'natural' RHS attacking options, which is just pants. I can't get my head around the lack of urgency to get in a right winger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont buy it- we could easily have found that money from somewhere if we had wanted to do it- £15m is absolute peanuts- we knew money would come in at some point- could of got a bloody payday loan for that amount- lets not give the club any excuses- this window has been horrendous mismanagement from top to bottom- pardon the pun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrianBeane Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 At what stage do we start to think that we are deliberately targeting LWs or CAMs to play on the RW? It happens so often it has to be deliberate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Would not have been overly reckless to have paid the £14m for Lookman (given it would have been amortised over 5 years at just under £3m a year) and accepted the £7m we were offered for Praet and the likelihood that we were always going to sell someone come the end of the window. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FosseSpark Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 May as well bring a youth player. Alves and Maswasinhe can play RW right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you're wrong, but the key to signing a left winger being getting rid of a midfielder who plays on the right is very Leicester 2022.

ceebeefox Posted 1 September 2022 Share Posted 1 September 2022 Has anyone thought that, heaven forbid a right footer may actually play on the right and be comfortable hitting the near post for Vardy’s countless runs rather than cutting in and being blocked out? Our full backs crossing is abysmal so let’s have a right winger with a right foot ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peanuts compared to the kind of money Premier league teams pay for players- spending that 14m would not have been reckless considering how we would have payed it and the knowledge that some would have gone out this window no matter what Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
