Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 25 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 25 August 2021 The language that will come out of my mouth if we sell him and don't get another winger in before the end of August will be obscene. You don't sell this late in the day without having an incoming deal agreed, so we best not muck this up. Playing wi' blokes livelihoods here. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at it from Sowah's point of view, more money, more playing opportunities and Bruges is a beautiful city. From our point of view , another wasted opportunity with a young player and all for 7 million. If we were Nottm Forest , that would be a fair deal but we are a top premiership club and that is peanuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised though, it's not usually how we do things with young players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last twelve months Grey, Ghezzal and Sowah off the books and Under rejected. All wingers, you have to assume Rodgers is not a fan of this sort of player.

NewquayFox Posted 25 August 2021 Share Posted 25 August 2021 Has Sowah gone? If not i think we should keep him and give him a go, especially now as Madueke has signed a new contract at PSV when some on here said he was a ‘nailed on’ City player… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 25 August 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 25 August 2021 1 hour ago, Jimmy said: have a feeling the incoming winger will be Ricardo with Castagne playing right back Even in this case, where is the back-up? The current situation is that we have 4 players that can play as a winger; Harvey Barnes, Marc Albrighton, Ayoze Perez and Ricardo. How many times has Ricardo even played the position for us? Twice? I'm not even sure if he's done it under Rodgers either. If we had started the season playing 352 then it would make sense to get rid of wingers, as that would be the preferred system to use. But so far we have started 4231 against Villareal, Man City, Wolves and West Ham. It is really weird though, that's for sure. Perhaps it will all come out in the wash soon enough. We know this club is brilliant at getting players when they want them, see Vestergaard, Daka, Soumare and then going back a few years Ricardo, Maddison, Ndidi even. My take on it right now is this; getting such a player is almost impossible. The best way to do it, as risky as it sounds is to wait till transfer deadline day, or near enough and take advantage of the madness as big moves happen to get someone you otherwise could not with a cash bid. It's going back quite a few years now, but I remember that's how Arsenal got Ozil, because Real Madrid needed the cash to sign other players. When you see players like Sancho and Sane go for over 50m, it puts it into light how hard it is to get a top class winger. All that said not signing Jarod Bowen now looks like a big mistake, as that's someone we could and arguably should have signed. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricardo played right wing for us a lot with Amartey at right back when he first arrived, it wasn't until after Dan broke his ankle Ricardo moved permanently back to right back, both Ricardo and Castagne can play further forward then full back Edited 25 August 2021 by Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
