Curious what Maresca will make of Jannik

 

(and no, don’t say a table.  )

It is quite curious that everyone that was largely shit last season and prior has been afforded the excuse of it being under Rodgers tutelage but Vestegaard is spared that excuse and is seen as the spawn of the devil.

Vesty?

you know there’s an argument that he’s our best ball playing centre back, that’s actually the one thing he’s good at. 

 

Footballs a funny old game, stranger comebacks have happened than this.  All depends on his attitude of course but he might be better suited to the style maresca wants to build. 

 

Early pep was quite happy to have crap defenders as long as they could pass a ball

I had this exact thought myself but I would assume he's on high wages & the club want him gone.

Isn’t Zach Awe a free agent now?

No links so far though, if we've got him I'd suggest we use him if only as 4th/5th choice back up. Remember we still have Ndidi who can fill in at CB

His wages are now down to 50k. Still high but if he doesn’t want to leave then we can’t force him out. If he’s staying then we should use him in games where we are sure to have a lot of possession (and we have someone with pace alongside him)

Just an update: He was due for his medical on Friday but didn't materialise, now due for next week. 100% happening 

 

Steffen deal still expected to happen(Loan)

 

Was expecting movement with another player on a free transfer, Hopefully will come to light next week.

I hope you’re right mate. Watch out if you’re not. 🙃

Few people have had digs since posting what I've been told. I know it's coming at some point.

I've been as honest as possible; like Caballero I don't mention some names because people freak out, also sometimes the info has altered, wrong or it doesn't come off.
It's amazing how many football fans don't understand how drawn out transfers can be, too much Fifa/FM and they think its done instantly.

Mate, I’m the last person you need to be telling the ins and outs and how things can change at the very last minute. All you can do is be honest and all people should do is take it for what it is.

plus posting it on here, where some of our fans seem to be more bipolar than the weather

I wouldn’t bother if I was you !   You just open yourself up when things change.

Keep posting people, love the insight, most come off, but I still take it with a pinch of salt

I don't understand the reaction some have to information that doesn't pan out or even the information that's nonsense. Just because someone says something, doesn't mean you have to buy into it. 

 

I've only ever gotten pissed off with such information. 1 time when someone was urging people to bet on their info. That's too far. 

2 the lad who was demanding thanks for his information (that was utter b0llux) about us talking to Martin O'Neil about taking over. That just wound me up.

Admittedly the old fax machine gave us a problem with Silva ... but this could be way worse.

Keep posting mate as most of us appreciate it, even if things do change. The people that get pissy about it are either trying to make some money by getting bets on (this doesn't work as the betting sites already know what's going on before we do) or they are trying to look clever in front of their mates thinking they know everything then get annoyed when they look silly cos it hasn't materialised.

I hope you ignore any negativity, I can’t speak for all posters but I genuinely appreciate the information you share and I fully understand the complexities of modern day transfers, so there is never a guarantee. 
 

There are so many moving parts plus overlay that with the fact the club are currently involved in a significant overhaul of the playing squad, therefore we could currently be speaking to up to 30, 40 or 50 players/agents, so there will always be credible links that never come to fruition as they may have been no 3 or 4 on the list of targets for that specific position but the club will have made initial contact with that player’s representatives to establish if there would be interest in joining us. 
 

Also deals can be very much like a house sale where there is a chain, and a move can collapse due to the fact that player x didn’t join club y and therefore the subsequent deals don’t happen. 
 

I don’t understand the need to try and discredit posters who come on and post information, I take everything I read on here at face value, over time you learn who tends to have credible information, but I also am old enough and wise enough to understand that sometimes things change and information provided will be correct at that point. 
 

I really hope you do keep posting what you hear as it is really appreciated.

Hope this one gets over the line soon. Don't want another club to swoop in and take him!

I learnt the hard way when we were in for Nicky Maynard. Wore an old Leicester shirt to work & Sharpie'd his name on the back to wind up a brizzle city fan at work 🤦🤣

Can't take any info to serious as it's always complicated but I enjoy all snippets & feel my brain can differentiate between certain positive posters & the KFC working ones!!
