One that we haven’t been heavily linked to, an ‘oh ****, we’re massive’ moment. I can feel it when I piss, something is brewing nicely in Brendans pot. There's not a huge pool of left footed wingers for that to happen though. Neres is the one if we miss out on Bailey (seemingly so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a lot of the right qualities just needs someone to help him make better decisions with his end product. Terrifyingly quick which is always nice. ....we are going on a wish and a prayer.....again...!!! He is comfortable on the left, why are we taking a gamble with a half baked idea and a price which would be £25m. Makes you wonder if we actually do look at potential players or is this once again an afterthought.

IIRC, he had a good start of the season last year and his performances only seemed to dip as he got fewer minutes. However, I do think @GingerrrFox makes a fair comment about him being a square peg in a round hole out right... Makes it a tad riskier than I would like but I trust BR to know how to get the best out him on that side. ...wasn't Rodgers last choice for that position Perez...!!! We are still looking for ways to properly integrate him into the team, where we can see discernible results. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffschlupp Posted 21 July 2021 Share Posted 21 July 2021 A good list @Ric Flair but how much better is Adli than Sowah? Left footer with similar goal contributions in Ligue 2 to Sowah's in the Belgian top flight? If we can't afford/attract the top bracket of Bailey etc. then we are going to have to look for someone with the raw attributes and potential to explode i.e. Barnes 19-20, although even then he managed 6g8a that season. Reading a bit more I like Chukwueze, but probably still unaffordable if Bailey is too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super impressive in training so far and looks set to be pushing for a starting place from the off. Massive pre-season for him. This is really exciting news, and also for me the best thing about the club. Sure we all get excited about who we are going to sign, but developing young players and making them better is really where we want to be. One of our best attacking players is Harvey Barnes, a player developed in our own academy. If only we had the right sided version, then instead of worrying about who to sign, we would just give that player a chance instead. I know we have Sowah, but most likely he goes on loan again. Though perhaps he will get a chance or two during pre-season also. But I noticed that KDH has been used a lot on LCFC TV for interviews and Sowah hasn't, suggesting to me that KDH is being primed for the first team, whereas Sowah is not. Usually the first game is about fitness, but I hope we see some semblance of who we are going to play this season too. I think KDH starts Saturday, and am looking forward to seeing what he can do. His attitude thus far both at Luton and Leicester has been first class, and that for me is the real "Leicester way." 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty confident what I said was that the club have an obligation to the young players it produces, a duty of care for their careers. I don't like to see Premier League teams holding on to young footballers forever when there's no clear pathway for them to the first team. He was about to turn 22 at the time, he'll be turning 23 this year as the season starts. In football these days that's quite old to have been nowhere near the first team to date. I hadn't seen much of KDH at the time and was speaking mostly in general terms, it's looking increasingly like the club have either played a blinder with him as we did with Barnes or his development has taken us by surprise, either way I'm happy to be wrong about that. I'd still stand by the point I was making at the time, though. For every Barnes or Dewsbury Hall there's scores of young guys their age across the division that go to waste being strung along by major clubs looking to squeeze out an extra quid or two who deserve to have a permanent move engineered so they can go and get their careers started at an appropriate level.

UHDrive Posted 22 July 2021 Share Posted 22 July 2021 5 hours ago, Ric Flair said: Based on us liking to exploit players with only a year left on their contracts, here are a list of right wingers/attacking midfielders who are left footed. David Brooks Mohamed Ihatteran Abdulkadir Omur Amine Adli *** (think this is our target) Matteo Pessina Federico Bernadeschi Kang-In Lee Adnan Januzaj (bleeeuuurrgggh) Luiz Araújo Adam Ounas Fabio Vieira Michael Gregoritsch Angel Di Maria Not that much to pick through there that I'd want, Adli I think is the one we will be in for. Pessina looked good in the Euros but is more of a ACM, Kang-In Lee still massively raw. It's possibly worth looking at players with only 2 years left whom clubs will be conscious of moving on if a good bid comes in rather than risk losing significant money if they refuse a new deal. Here are some that fall in to that category. Leon Bailey Jonathan Ikone David Neres Viktor Tsygankov Tete Samuel Chukwueze Thomas Lemar Charles De Ketelaere Maxwell Cornet Luca Orellano Nathaneal Mbuku Gonzalo Plata With that level of detail and info I swear you must be one of Rudders's subordinates at Seagreave..

That's the only way he would come here maybe in 18 months time, personally see him moving aboard. We are only linked with him and Coutinho becasue of BR so it's very unlikely.

FoxesWalk Posted 22 July 2021 Share Posted 22 July 2021 Will be an interesting summer at Liverpool. Salah, Mane and Firmino all about the same age and deals coming for renewal soon, they can’t realistically give all 3 long term contracts for the rest of their careers, they have quite a few first team players with similar ages and contract situations. It’s going to be a problem for them. I can see them selling one of the front 3 and signing a younger model this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 22 July 2021 Share Posted 22 July 2021 I wouldn't be against Henderson for the right price if his wages weren't astronomical but he wouldn't be a guaranteed starter, so not sure he'd come here without them assurances. He may as well sit on Liverpools bench rather than ours. His experience and leadership skills would be class for us but it ain't happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
