Do you think Rodgers will get 3 new player’s ? I personally think we’ll be lucky to sign one and that’ll be on loan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he probably doesn't negotiate the deals but they will be done on his say so, he has a lot of power, he got it when he signed the new contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Posted 2 January 2023 Share Posted 2 January 2023 (edited) the transfer situation boils down to this for me, he will know the score, if he's not happy with it walk, making sly digs shows everyone he's unhappy including the players, you cannot do that, so either walk away or find some enthusiasm and get on with it, we need attacking players and we have a bunch of talented ones in the U21s, they may not make it but give them a chance whilst we have no depth someone may pop, look at Rashford and remember he was chucked in before they wanted to due to injuries who knows maybe Popov, one of the Pennant brothers, Maswanhise or others could show themselves to be good enough for us if you actually play them and put some faith into them. If Alves was injured I don't think he'd be on the bench in the league even now. Its easy to do it in a cup game against lower league sides but if he is truly someone that develops youth players have the balls to do it in the league instead of having so many defensive options on the bench Edited 2 January 2023 by Jimmy 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans will probably start dropping Wilf to the bench meaning we'd have 3 CB's and 2 DMs on the bench with Albrighton as full back cover and probably someone like Wormleighton coming in to fill the empty spot. Why not leave Vestergaard, who he never wants to play out, leave out one of Wilf or Mendy, Brunt covers left back CB and DM so fine but you should still have 3 spots for players like Braybrooke and 2 attacking players from the U21s. We literally have not other senior options so we have nothing to lose. Its not like Dewsbury-Hall every really stood out at that level it was when he got to senior football he suddenly showed what he had Edited 2 January 2023 by Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDH did have half a season in League 1 and a season in the Championship before having a go in the PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't sound that powerful to me. Meanwhile the dof who signs all the transfers and heads up the whole football operation gets zero stick.

Several like Braybrooke should have been loaned out. If they aren't loaned out this window, we won't be able to keep them. Either play them in the first team or loan them.

Quite astonishing how many are out with long injuries. Braybrooke disappeared in recent weeks to from both the academy and 1st team training.
