Cannot believe how starved we were of wingers under Rodgers.

Bit harsh Ric, he did listen to you eventually  …

Going Celtic

[Edingleyfox]

Would rather go for someone up and coming either a striker or attacking central midfielder.

He’s 26, more of a winger I’d say, rather than a 10. 
 

About as injury prone as Lee Morris during the last 12 months, maybe even worse. Celtic were in at £5m apparently. No doubt we see him as the El Khannous replacement. He can play as a 10, however gives us options out wide to back up Fatawu as well. 
 

The transfer makes sense. 

[honeybradger]

Generally it's best to leave injury prone players alone. Hopefully he ends up going to Celtic.

[Lambert09]

Worth a pop but I’d be worried about an obligation. We’d end up paying 10m for someone who played 4 games or something daft 

[Vindaloo FOX]

Loan deal 👌

[Bluearmyfox28]

I do wonder if we are after two players that can play the “10”. Marti has shown he’s not the biggest fan of Alves and I could see him going out on loan again.

 

Rego and Stengs?

[MPH]

Mavididi replacement?

[Bluearmyfox28]

 

Be rude not too. Supposedly available for £5m, recent article about the rumours to Celtic.

Like everything else at the club does anyone have any confidence in who we buy ?  Our scouting is shit 
 

Occasionally we get a good one but their few and far between and it’s more likely we’ll get a duff who we put on a 5 year deal and give them 100k a week again. 
 

I don’t trust our judgement at all so here’s an idea, don’t bother !!! 
 

If they’re not in the academy, go without ! 

[Phenom]

Strong attacking and passing numbers when he plays

[LCFCJohn]

With the injuries and the fact Celtic want him now (after we were linked in the past), this seems like one of Rodgers ‘broken’ players. 
 

I know we are desperate for some news of incomings but desperation has got us in the mess we are in so I’d pass on this one.

In his last 50 games, he has played AMC 30 times, CM 10 times and RW 10 times. 

 

Looks like a Bilal replacement to me. 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

At this point we’re like when David Brent gets introduced to that group of girls in Chasers - “Nice to meet all of ya... anyone's fine…”

 

 

We’ll take ANYONE!

Loan with buy option, but only if he promises to play really well and not get injured 🤪

Heres an idea 

Don’t buy anyone !!!

But we are crying out to be freshened up and desperately need a striker 

[Edingleyfox]

If funds are as tight as they seem should Leicester be looking at a player with recent fitness issues and top wages. Celtic seem to have rued him out

[honeybradger]

Stengs isnt the right option for us.

 

1. Injury prone

2. Not a natural 10 - with our weakness in midfield we cant have 3 wingers and Jordan Ayew in front of them. We need a 10 who can help the CMs control the game and also carry their weight in terms winning the ball back. Stengs does not offer that.

 

Ideally we would go for someone like Titraoui or Joao Rego, natural midfielders who can stay fit and support our weak centre midfielders.

We’ve sold I think 7, and we’re still not refreshed need at least another 5 gone. 
The point is do you trust their judgement  ? because based on what we buy I don’t 

id rather stay down than buy more crap 

[CloudFox]

A couple of years ago, I'd be excited by this. His injury record of late is a pretty big red flag though. Is he robust enough to play in the Championship, playing twice a week?

[Brainy]

I get why people are negative however nothing about our transfer activity this summer, particularly the last two or three weeks suggests we're about to spunk 100k on wages for a player
