Good window so far. I would say a 7/10 rating. Add a CM or RW and it’s a 9/10. Add both and it’s a 10/10 window. 

Aye can't argue with that.

7.5/8 out of 10 over the 2 windows I think, with the way the January window players have turned out plus what we've signed this one

I could see Rodgers going rouge and allowing Maddison and Tielemans to leave with Fofana, then sit back and say I told you so to the club. 

 

He knows he's not there long term. Why should he care who they sell. Looks better on his stats selling them on and recovering money.

Who cares how good he was for England 4 years ago? It's about who he is now, and nobody knows because he hasn't played for two tears.

I get what you're saying and if we signed him I'd be more than happy to trust Howe, but until somebody with any authority gives us something else we can only go on what we've witnessed, which is very little.

I don't think we should sign him personally, I'd rather we continued to develop Anderson. However, if Eddie thought he could get a tune out of him and signed him on a free I wouldn't be worried - it's pretty much zero risk.

I just think this blanket writing off of players and saying this guy is shit because that similar guy was shit, is harsh. Some players thrive in the right circumstances - settled into the area, the right manager, the right players around them, supportive fans etc. I've always liked Barkley as a player and i hope he comes good and proves a few people wrong.

Brave to assume it’s Rodger’s making those decisions

Not sure he has that level of power.

Don't think he's got that much of a say to be honest. Can't see their owners selling all 3 now. Be suicidal

It's not, but he'll have a say and has resisted so far. He stops making a case for them to stay then it changes things.

They're not going down. Could bring in half the value of the club in 3 players and then the club is sold this season.

I couldn't give a shit about him myself. He chose a Chelsea salary over his career, he doesn't need any sympathy from me.

Lots of stuff about Tielemans and also haidara at leipzig.

Understandable that Longstaff is not deemed good enough to cover in there, he is allright at closing games out when we are a goal or two up but he gets caught in possession too much and is too slow on the ball release...

He last won a cap over three years ago. A transfer to Villa didn’t occur because of how he played there on loan (shite). He hasn’t been selected for Chelsea, seemingly because he simply wasn’t good enough. At coming up to 29, sadly, he’s seemingly done man. We’re not the club to resurrect his career. Being given away by Chelsea, he should be being snapped up by a lower PL team hoping to hit lucky, or a good championship team even, but even that’s not currently happening. I can see the likes of Rangers taking a punt. 

Obviously I'm speculating here, but the fact he hasn't moved to a lower PL team strongly suggests he doesn't appreciate how lucky he's been. Nowt I hate more than a player who flops at their 300k pw job, then refuses to take a reasonable salary.

We don’t seem to be interested in these type of deals but if Grillitzch (sp?) is still going for free, he’d be a very solid cover for Bruno.

I’ve been thinking this all summer but *apparently* he has a stinking attitude and why a number of clubs have walked away from a deal for him (inc Brighton)

I’d imagine that At 300K a week it’s very easy to convince yourself that you’re just on the brink of a breakthrough.

Stopped an almost inevitable goal in the early stages against Wolves.

I think on 300k a week it would be easy to convince yourself you're the Queen of fucking Sheba.

Really don't understand the mindset of club agrees to pay you X amount for 5 years and then expecting the player a couple of years down the line to say sorry you're paying me too much you should be paying me Y.

I’d read it was his wages or his agent asking for a large commission. Always something.

I'm with you, would prefer Haidara as he's better defensively. Tielemans is a very good footballer in general but I think we don't have a midfield destroyer as such, other than Joelinton, and he seems to operate more left side. Tielemans seems better at the attacking side of the game, not sure he'd fit into Eddie's pressing style so well.
