An Sionnach Posted 4 May 2023 Posted 4 May 2023 Almost all the players who have joined this club since Rodgers came have been hailed as game changers on here by somebody or other. We are now fielding teams 75% of whom predate Rodgers. We have found very few answers , if any, in the transfer market. Why should that change? In my opinion the only ones who have done a decent job are defenders , Justin and Castagne have done pretty well. Faes and Souttar may yet. We have a very dodgy record and if we carry on this way , we could end up in even more serious trouble.
Future Fox Posted 4 May 2023 Posted 4 May 2023 (edited) Reiss Nelson out of contract soon could fit on our RW may be looking for more minutes. Kayky also a young RW option. Gnonto as a LW option Kyle Walker-Peters Lavia before Manchester City have a chance with his buy back clause in 2024 What do others think? Edited 4 May 2023 by Future Fox

Kayky - Too young/developing. Will be loaned out asp. Gnonto - Decent. But backup to Barnes. KWP - No thanks. Justin is better. Lavia - Done nothing for the Saints / overrated.

Yeah I agree with Kayky he is a great development project though buy and loan back to the club he is at then OHL Gnonto I agree because at the moment we have no real cover for our wingers and able to develop further and could potentially take over if we lose Barnes down the Line depending on his development. Nelson is a brilliant fit can ease him in with a Kelechi and Nelson impact sub for first few games and earn real minutes. I agree with KWP point hopefully JJ with a 3 year age advantage can develop further along with Kristiansen Opoku looking promising will fit in this attacking line up Lavia I agree too maybe have a look how he ends up in a few years but for now a pass maybe he needs a loan away from Southampton in a foreign league.

lcfc sheff Posted 5 May 2023 Posted 5 May 2023 This summer I hope we aren’t scared of selling assets. This team has run its course, it’s certainly not about keeping the “core” anymore.
Leicesterpool Posted 5 May 2023 Posted 5 May 2023 Be interesting to see what happens to Callum Wilson, seeing as if Newcastle do go on to make the champions league they may look to invest in a couple of new strikers. Not sure if Maddie was to go to the North East a bit of an exchange deal with cash could be arranged, £65-70million + Wilson.

Then you're getting a striker who can probably be relied on for about half a season through injury. He stays at Newcastle, they'll get one more striker in at best and he'll move down the pecking order.

Yeah, you can't just hoover up academy players and expect them all to be PL quality from the off. However, it does make you wonder if we stay up whether we'd be better trying to build a squad that if you had your own way you'd build if you were in the Championship and aiming to piss it and kick on. I'd focus a lot of recruitment on the best young domestic players from academies and Championship, with some value for money recruitment from South America, Belgium and Scandinavia. 4

But 42 goals in league five of the pyramid equals 8-10 at most in the Prem. At 26..pushing 27, probably not the next Vardy.

JimJams Posted 5 May 2023 Posted 5 May 2023 Think you misunderstand. We won't be getting 65-70 plus Wilson for Maddison, because we won't be getting 65-70mill for Maddison regardless. 50-60 straight deal.

BroughtonFox Posted 6 May 2023 Posted 6 May 2023 We’ll go back to signing younger players from abroad or the championship I’m sure. January was the start of that, I think we’ve learnt our lesson with Vestergard and Bertrand 1
JimmyC74 Posted 6 May 2023 Posted 6 May 2023 (edited) Massive summer ahead and the first decision we need to get right is the manager and then a close second *should be* the DofF to revamp the recruitment strategy. Stay up and we need someone who can work under a budget and potential transfers will want to come and play for - buying into a project of getting back into Europe over a few seasons. Go down and we need someone who is able to clean up the mess of relegation / large turnover in the playing squad and rebuild. Some big decisions ahead that we must get right. The likes of Brentford and Brighton show it’s where we target transfer spend (markets / player attributes) rather than how much we are spending. Edited 6 May 2023 by JimmyC74
Ric Flair Posted 6 May 2023 Posted 6 May 2023 Quite possibly needs one more season in the Championship (perfect if we go down) but Adam Wharton at Blackburn is getting rave reviews.

Ric I see rebuilding our midfield as our biggest challenge next season (with Madders, and possibly Barnes exiting, Ndidi a shell of the player we first saw, KDH struggling etc). Do you see any potential targets who could transition to top EPL performers like Madders where there is value to be had? Edited 6 May 2023 by JimmyC74 1
