In my dream tonight Berardi is going to be in the Seagrave swimming pool surrounded by hookers and champagne after signing a deal with us and after drowning Perez as a condition of that deal. .....come to think of it, what is the situation with Berardi!!! Wasn't he agitating for a move in this window? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 On 26/08/2021 at 17:46, deep blue said: Is it too fanciful that Brendan might make do with including Maswanhise in the squad and giving him the occasional go, starting at first as a late sub, and hoping he improves quickly enough to make an impact? That would be some sort of solution to the RW problem without shelling out for one. This. Looked good in pre-season, scored in the last reserves game. He’s 19 in a couple of months, I’d personally prefer to see him given the chance than bring in someone underwhelming like Lookman or even James. We don’t have an endless pot of money, after all… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooper Steve's shin Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 With Hudson-Odoi and Lookman apparently being lined up this late in the window and both seeming to perform much better on the left, maybe Brendan’s “strengthening of the attack” has been about getting a back-up to Barnes all along. He might consider Perez, Albrighton, Ricardo and Maswanhise give us enough options on the right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love him or hate him Perez's stats show he's one of the best defensive wingers there is. I think he fits Rodgers system and he is looking for a left winger instead.

Could well be right, we have no real cover for Barnes. Up to a point you need to consider the combined attacking and defensive contribution of the RB and RW together. They’re a team that have to work together and Ricardo and Perez do this well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers demands goals and assists from all 4 of his attacking players in a 4-2-3-1. He wants his players to be able to press and defend well too but its not one or the other. He's said this time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fox85 Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 I honestly think we will sign Lookman and somthing out of the blue that will surprise everyone. I genuinely think we are getting 2 wingers in today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And agreed, even if he's not exactly what we want on the right, Sima looked absolutely class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'll be max one player, lookman, if that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Maswanhise looked a decent player/prospect in pre season, looked lively and got stuck in, throw him in at the deep end with the 1st team squad (better than 2 keepers on the bench) and use him as a sub for the last 10/15 minutes, might unsettle teams…..

He's said this time and time again. Well then you'd think he would be trying to bring in a right winger, which he doesn't appear to be. He appears to be very content with Perez and Albrighton as his options on the right. If he wanted attacking output on that side he wouldn't be. I suspect he's happy with the output coming from the full backs on the right side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

majaco Posted 31 August 2021 Share Posted 31 August 2021 BBC reporting English players and players from English clubs at a premium. Not enough time to complete process for international players from foreign clubs. If we were interested in Neres but hadn't made an offer, it will be too late. So it could be Lookman or no-one. I can't see us being willing/able to afford CHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's been done plenty when clubs sign players without work permits, we did it with Sowah I believe. With the new point system for work permits you can guarantee who will get one and who won't so it's pretty low risk to do so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still my point stands, can you not sort all that stuff out after the deadline if they have the required points total? 4 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: Hahahaaa that's the same thing is it not? It depends on the country. I don't have a clue about the UK but I know over here I have both a visa and work permit. The Visa lets me into the country and the work permit is a separate piece of paper that gives me permission to work and says things like who I can work for and in what industries. That being said I was always under the impression in the UK they were the same thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
