Shane Posted 16 July 2022 Share Posted 16 July 2022 Brendan next season: ’The reason we’re in a relegation battle is because we didn’t get the rebuild I asked for. Wee little Leicester have always been underdogs, so we have to be realistic in the market. Thats why I made it perfectly clear to our recruitment team I wanted Bednarek, wee Joe Allen and Nathan Redmond. But we didn’t sign any of them. What more can I do?’ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted 16 July 2022 Share Posted 16 July 2022 In all seriousness though, it is pre season. We will look up to speed by the time we play Sevilla imo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 17 July 2022 Share Posted 17 July 2022 He is a clever bloke, Rodgers , from obscure origins and a very modest playing career he has managed to climb the greasy pole with very few slips. If you judge him on his career , he is doing pretty well. He is principally a politician and chooses his words carefully but where is the passion and the heart. For all his weaknesses Claudio was like MoN a man you liked and made you believe and the club is lacking that now. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryn Posted 17 July 2022 Share Posted 17 July 2022 I mean he's ****ed the dressing room surely? He basically called the players out for not being good enough about 2 months ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd think so, but the bloke seems to have this uncanny ability to treat people poorly and then still be liked by them. It really does remind me of someone stuck with a narcicistic partner and they're the only one that can't see it when everyone else is implauding them to get out of it. I think he's very good at convincing people that his presence is something they should be thankful for and it gives him a fair bit of slack. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happened, we don't finish the season like we did, and there'd be far more speculation perhaps before now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Posted 18 July 2022 Share Posted 18 July 2022 I’m assuming he made the transfer comments last season, as he knew what we were projecting at that time in terms of available money for transfer dealings. I’m also sure he knows what we’re forecasting for the next three years in terms of cash flow. In reality, we do need a rebuild, be it this season, or next. Next season we’re currently set to lose: Tielemans - £130k / week Soyuncu - £45k / week Amartey - £57k / week Perez - £83k / week Vardy - £160k / week Schmeichel - £130k / week Evans - £100k / week Choudhury - £61k / week Bertrand - £78k / week Thats £864,000 per week, or just under £45,000,000 a year. If we’re standing still this year, Brendan and the team will need to know how to fill some of these voids in 12 months time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the club is genuinely paying Dan Amartey 57k, Perez 83k, Choudry 61k, and Bertrand 78k per week then it absolutely deserves to be in financial dire straits.

It’s no wonder Soyunchu has been playing crap for the last 2 years, he found out Perez is being paid nearly double he’s on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told we’d offered him a deal, improving his wage but he’d declined to sign it. Since then, we’ve not offered him improved terms. Not sure how accurate that is. Bertrand is in the wages you’d expect for a free transfer. Choudhury signed a new contract not long after that Liverpool performance and was being touted to grow into a genuine, future England midfielder. Perez was signed for a large sum; therefore he’s going to be on big wages. Although, in all of this, it’s as much about focusing on having a 25 person squad, as much as it is about the money. We don’t want to be in the situation where we’re paying anyone to sit at home. Mendy was bonkers last year, for us then to cut Benkovic was disastrous. In fairness, if we can shift Bertrand, either by mutual consent or on medical insurance, then we’ll see some movement. Soyuncu, Choudhury and Tielemans can all still play a part in the upcoming season for us. If we have players identified for next summer, that have the raw ability to surpass our current squad; we might just be treading water for the next 12 months and focusing on achieving a steady Premier League finish, that this squad is more than capable of doing without additions. With our wages to turnover ratio one of the worst in the league, we aren’t in a sustainable position to add to the squad without offloading current talent. It’s as black and white as that. If we can bed in Nelson, Alves, Braybrook and Wright, then they maybe form part of the squad refresh. They are new faces. We still have other players on trial with the development squad, like Badley-Morgan (Chelsea), Paul Appiah (Free), Deniche Hill (Free), then three lads from Thailand. None of them are making that step up this season, however in 12 months time, maybe the fans of the precious clubs they’ve left, will bemoan their club for flogging them to Ajax for £20,000,000. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, that’s par for the course in the Prem It’s who they are being paid to. For this kind of money a club like Leicester can and should do much better. I think it’s indicative of our recruitment in recent years. Not good in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 18 July 2022 Share Posted 18 July 2022 There are so many inconsistent players these days , one great game , two bad ones. An excellent season followed by a poor one. Its hard to know what they are worth and we are not the only club overpaying flakey players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
