Rodgers does love to make an excuse for himself, but this team is almost at the end of the line. I didn't realise all of those defenders are on the way out! I think this squad has come to the end of a cycle, it's time to refresh with new energy and new leaders. I assume the club may want to hold on to one of Evans or Amartey, but I imagine Evan would need to take a pay cut. Amartey is an interesting one as he will go to the WC, if he plays ok he could have a number of suitors. I still think the club made a conscious decision to hold off on a squad rebuild until next summer when we have load more wriggle room on wages, with 6 players out on a contract that's 300k plus per week of the wage bill. (15m + a year) Players out of contract in the summer. Youri Tielemans Ayoze Pérez Daniel Amartey Nampalys Mendy Jonny Evans Çağlar Söyüncü Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPH Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 Time to get Del Boy involved in flogging some players we don’t want. They are clearly suffocating us. or at least employ an agent who specializes in finding sellers for players we want gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All well and good finding clubs who want to buy but no point if the player and his actual agent aren't arsed about rushing out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu Posted 30 October 2022 Share Posted 30 October 2022 I see Madueke is back playing for PSV. Scored today too. Hope he over his injuries problems now, as I’m convinced he is and has been top of our list for a RW. Jan could be when we make a move if he says injury free between now and then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in their youth team having left Chelsea academy 2-3 years ago. Can play anywhere from wing back, winger and up front. Left footed. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone care to summarize what he said? January? “You’re constantly reviewing it. I’ve got a meeting today with the recruitment team looking at January. It’s ongoing. There will be gossip around players, but that doesn’t concern me. Hopefully we can do some business in January.” Add to squad? “I’m hopeful we can. You can see the impact one player has made to our team, and if we had another four of those, that would help us. Let’s see if we can do anything in January.” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
