How do you know no one will want him? Musa was a relative donkey and we got ALL of our transfer fee back for him, Ghezzal was a poor signing for US and even though he smashed it in Turkey we are now only able to get a small fee for him You can't predict how this is going to go and you definitely can't predict what the future financial implications end up being for him.

On the flip side, he could fulfil his early potential and be worth £40million in 2 years time. Who knows! Our scouting has been pretty spot on with players recently, so I am happy if they are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romano has a pretty wide network for getting his information, but even he isn't going to be privy to every single transfer that goes on across the continent. If he'd heard something concrete enough to report on then you can bet he'd be tweeting about it, but if he doesn't have the right combination of involved parties (be that agents, clubs, players, etc) within his network then he's not going to stake his reputation on it. There might be nothing at all to the rumour, or equally he might just not know/be aware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This season I really don't see the League or FA cups as a priority. The Premiership and Europa League have to be our priority if we don't want our better players to leave at the end of this season because I think they will without Champions League football and I for one wouldn't blame them at all. I don't know how 'ecstatic' Kabak will be merely parking his arse on the bench at Leicester because from what bit I've seen, he's certainly inferior to our other 3. Allegedly, one of the reasons Liverpool weren't interested was because of his wage demands which, if true, tends to suggest he has an inflated ego of his own abilities. Surely, with Van Dijk fit, he'd have been a decent cheap option for them also if he was that promising. His price has plummeted drastically for a reason. Where possible, you want a centre half pairing to gel and get to know and rely on each other, changing only due to injury or fatigue. Whilst lucky with injuries in our winning season, how many centre halves did we need then exactly? If playing with 2 centre halves and with one competition more, we already have 3 first class centre halves and 2 back ups. Part of the problem last year was Rodgers trying to make Ndidi and Castagne unsuccessfully and needlessly into centre halves instead of exploring better formation options. Each time he did it, he not only weakened our defence but our midfield massively also. Whilst injuries undoubtedly played a part, for me personally, it's Rodger's that needs to carry the can for not getting us into the Champions League last season and not the players, some of whom looked very frustrated at times with Rodgers tactics. Do you understand the use of paragraphs? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You go for the worst scenario every time. perhaps it’ll be 3 years at 30k a week. we have a number of players on less than 50k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Managers don't always explain their decisions and we don't know the ins and outs of these things. That said, it did look like BR must have thought that he was not the right option, although he was happy enough to put him in when needed at other times.

Why would he make that up. Obviously his contact could be wrong/not ITK on that transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange way of working if that’s the case It depends on how much case we've got available doesn't it - if there's 10m left we might prioritise the greater need - eg, right wing. We may also be looking at loans to buy rather than outright buying. I can't see our net spend being much greater than 40m and I don't think the club would spend on the basis they think they'll get some back at this stage.

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 20 July 2021 Share Posted 20 July 2021 If we get him for £8m that’s a steal. He’s a young international CB who has some (albeit limited) PL experience. We need another CB regardless of what system we’re planning on using and won’t get better value anywhere else. I can see us getting him this year and Tarkowski on a free next summer 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
