honeybradger Posted 4 April 2022 Share Posted 4 April 2022 If we sign this guy he will be another addition to the list of players who we've signed under Rodgers that dont immediately improve or fit into our starting XI. We need to learn to start waiting for the right players rather than what's available on the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted 4 April 2022 Share Posted 4 April 2022 18 goals and 9 assists for the season now. Excellent return for such a young player. Maybe he’s a perfect fit for this christmas tree/diamond formation we’ve been playing recently? CM, Mendy/Ndidi, KDH CDK, Maddison Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to learn to start waiting for the right players rather than what's available on the market. Does anybody remember Bertrand, Vestergaard, Soumaré, Perez, Praet and even Daka.. This season we have gone back to a team that mostly consists of players that predate Rodgers. We just cannot keep adding to a bloated squad. As we have found selling our surplus players has proven to be very difficult. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty clear with young players Rodgers doesn't think of them for the season they are brought in but the season after. As if we want to immediately improve the squad we will end up buying 28/29 year old players and would most likely end up like Everton in a couple of seasons Edited 4 April 2022 by Attywolf 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On your everton comments we've had multiple poor windows under Rodgers now and are still relying on the backbone of the squad that he inherited for the most part. If we continue to sign players without any long term vision for the team such as De ketaleare (who could be a good player but doesn't seem to be the right fit for us) you can't really say our transfer policy has been any better than that of Everton's since he came in, we've spent a lot of money for very little squad improvement.

Is that what we should have done with Fofana too? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to learn to start waiting for the right players rather than what's available on the market. ....he can link the play well, seems very comfortable on the ball, needs to play as the second striker or a "false 9"!!! He does tend to link up well with Noa Lang (Club Brugge) their #10, and with Maddison it will be a very good partnership. Reads the game well, loves to get on the end of moves, a total change from what we have at the moment. The closest we have to him is Nacho, with better ball control, decision making, link up and unselfish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 4 April 2022 Share Posted 4 April 2022 He will replace Maddison in my opinion. I think we will look utilise his good form and sell him to Arsenal in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing we’ve got to keep in mind is the club want to make some big changes in the summer. Selling fringe players alone won’t stretch far enough to match the ambitions of the club I don’t think. I think there’s three players the club will part with if they can get the right deals in place. Maddison Kelechi Cags. You’re going to get a decent amount for those, plus the fringe players leaves you with a nice amount to play with to bring one or two players in after the main targets are secured. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where would he play? we just signed daka for striker, maddison plays CAM, we've seen that shoehorning a player into the right wing position in the case of perez doesnt work. Our transfer business needs to be more patient and wait for players that fit the side rather than signing what's hot property on the market and shoehorning square pegs in round holes, such as in the case of soumare.

Madueke looks like he could be the right option for us as he seems like an actual specialised right winger rather than a player who covers multiple positions. I havent given up with soumare as a player, i think he's talented and if he doesnt succeed here he will succeed elsewhere, i just think that there wasnt a proper transfer strategy behind his signing other than being a young talented player available for a good price. Soumare just doesnt seem to be suited to what Rodgers wants from players and from what ive seen so far there doesnt seem to be a plan to find him a spot in the starting XI where he can excel, i can see the same being for de katelaere where he's not really a player that we need but he's talented and young so therefore he's in our crosshairs. edit: for the record i would rather we went for two strikers rather than wingers but if wingers is the plan then madueke looks like a good option Edited 4 April 2022 by honeybradger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just not been good enough at it. He's not a defensive midfielder. Never has been. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 5 April 2022 Share Posted 5 April 2022 I'm wanting to think he's the midfield equivalent of Fofana. Fofana was a calculated gamble worth taking. £30mil was a gamble but I think it's pretty obvious he's worth double that at the absolute least. It's the only way a club like us can attain world class players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
