Berardi is the most expensive option and we don’t have ‘endless pots of money’. We also have no plans to sell anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy_Jeff Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 If are unable to bring someone in I’d be tempted to try 3 in the middle with Maddison from the left and Barnes from the right. maddison cutting in and play Daka through excites me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Eaton Fox Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 Rodgers has said that basically their is no more money in the pot except for maybe a CB if Evans is going to be out for a while. So we go with what we have. I think if we take the best performers out of today, that will be top 6 potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference between not having ‘endless pots of money’ and ‘no more money’. I think it’s plain he wants a right-sided attacker. Sowah has played himself out of contention (if he was ever realistically in) over the past two games. So we’re left with Albrighton, Perez & square pegs for round holes. I wouldn’t object to us trying a Barnes Vardy Maddison front 3, but would much, much prefer Berardi or Pereira or Madueke alongside Barnes & a central striker! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnup Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 Can't see nobody coming in. It'll be a loan and there's some decent options about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 Important to realise we simply don't have the budget for a 30m plus player, perhaps even a 20m plus player. A key foundation to our success is a sustainable, longer-term approach so we're not going to see a splurge in spending. Like many have posted, a loan with a view to a permanent move is the most likely scenario. Pereira fits the bill but looks like West Ham are willing to pay the fee West Brom want. Alternatively, Brekalo (yes, know he's right-footed but is can play on either wing) and Brooks might be the most affordable, with the latter's contract running out as @Ric Flairsaid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peach0000 Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 Everyone saying Coutinho, he’s only played as a right winger 23 times in his whole career. I’m all for getting him but not if we are planning to play him right wing. It’s just going to turn into another Perez ie playing a player out of position and hoping for good performances. If we are signing someone for the right wing position we should sign someone who actually plays there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was based on what budget I think we have as it stands but if we sell players, then we’ll naturally be able to buy higher fee players.

It’s worrying that we were extremely weak on our right side last season and we’ve actually lost 2 right wingers since then - Under and Gray. Madness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 I'm hoping he gets asked about the winger issue because I'm fascinated what he thinks. He demands goals and assists from his attacking players and he's not going to get that from Albrighton, Prrez and who knows with Sowah just yet. Nuts this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't get him and will not get Berardi either. I would say main interest is Berardi and until we can't then Pereira. I also feel, that Pereira's agent is aware of this and it is a waiting game. West Bromwich will need this to move on as they would need a replacement in place or they will require the funds in order to get someone in. I would think the middle of August will be the latest, when we find out who we are bringing in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 Looks like the only way we’ll make this happen is by selling players, the trio of Perez, Praet & Choudhury should see us get around 30 million. If not we’ll either have to be shrewd or make do with a loan, probably James or Hudson-Odoi 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UHDrive Posted 31 July 2021 Author Share Posted 31 July 2021 This is getting comical. I'm hoping he's made that remark because of the extra CB need (whether Nelson has a tick in his notebook I've no idea). He might have thought that the winger was squared away but the Evans injury has thrown those transfer funds around. We've conceded 4 goals already, and far too many as usual by set peices and corners, just like last season. If he could get Tarkowski for £20mil and loan Coutinho then that's my first preference. Second preference is Buy Berardi and loan a defender (who's available) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxOnWheels Posted 31 July 2021 Share Posted 31 July 2021 I don’t really think we need a centre back and we’ve conceded more goals than usual due to how many changes we are making during games and weaker players getting more minutes than normal! Nelson and Benko can cover plus Justin when back can do a job there! Spend rest of our budget on a RW it’s not even a question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
