At the start of the summer, we would've said RW, ST, CM (assuming we sign MT) were the top priorities. It turns out we circled back to get our CB from January. I'm glad we got him and he could prove to be a bargain. But i wouldn't have said it was a priority position. IMO anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not a priority, but I wouldn't ever again want to be 1 injury from potentially having to throw Lascelles into the mix again. I'm personally thrilled he's signed, doesn't change the fact we still need a couple of attacking players of sufficient quality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxedup Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 11 minutes ago, The Prophet said: Sorry fella I haven't read all of your posts, Rogers gave the impression today that you'd need to sell at least one big name. I gather that isn't the case? Feel free to quote an old post if you've already been over this. Rodgers said absolutely nothing about selling a big name. He said assets, every player on the books is an asset. “It would have to be about trimming the squad or selling your assets.“ The aim is to sell or loan out fringe players and always has been. With the exception of Soyuncu or Tielemans being in their last year. We have to sell or loan out to buy. But we don’t really need to buy that much. Gk Ward / Iverson RB Ricardo / Castagne CB Fofana / Soyuncu CB Evans / Amartey / Vestergaard LB Justin / Thomas RW Perez / Albrighton LW Barnes CM Tielemans / Praet / Choudhury Maddison CM Ndidi / Mendy / Soumare / Dewsbury Hall ST Vardy / Daka / Iheanacho We have too many CM’s and not enough wide men. So we’d want to lose two or three CM’s (not Maddison) and get a winger. Next would be sell a fringe CB and get another better CB. Then perhaps a cheap third choice keeper.

relámpago blanco Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 3 hours ago, The Prophet said: “I became aware towards the end of the season that the club would have to balance it’s books, then of course that becomes very difficult. “The club will not look to spend money they don’t have and that is where the club is stable and they will always be very sensible.” “It would have to be about trimming the squad or selling your assets [to make new signings]. That’s something that the club are looking closely at. “It’s where we’re at. The squad needs to get trimmed. Until that happens, I have to concentrate on the players that I have.” It's a good squad tbf., they need a keeper though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it, the club really rate Iverson and we have another top class young polish keeper. I think they want a progression route for them. Kasper hasn’t been amazing, this season. So it’s a good time to make a change. Still gutted as he’s a legend though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not always up to the selling club which players to sell though. Its a good squad. What are your keepers like? You seem a bit light on the wings as well. Perez is not a winger, I know you play him there but if you want the best out of him he needs to be a second striker. That's why his returns are so much lower for you than he was for us and he plays in a much better team now so should be a lot higher. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a number were already on loan to other clubs before who we know still have interest in them. It’s likely to all be late loan deals. And we juts loan players in, our RW both of last two seasons has been a loan, so we’d just do it again. Edited August 4, 2022 by Foxedup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 The one thing I will say, Foxedup seems so desperate to convince us that they aren't selling Maddison that I think he is very worried about losing Maddison.

He might be right. He might be trying to convince himself more than us. Would be weird if he wasn't worried. If we were hearing about offers for Bruno from a big club or a club on the rise we would be shitting it aswell. I suppose because of our current owners wealth its not quite the same for us as other clubs because we are going to hit the stage of having all sponsors in place, tv money rolling in, we hope European football so more revenue, and all the other things that generate revenue and we will be able to replace no trouble. We will also hit the point of having players that we can actually sell for a decent wedge. Currently we have nothing really so we're just spending. Great times coming! Not that I'd ever want to, because we couldn't replace his personality. What a lovely guy he is! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
