moore_94 Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 I have never really been a fan of the idea of us loaning young players from the big clubs, unless there is a chance we can sign them (which I don’t think there would be with McAtee) But if we have no other real options… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McAtee and Colwill even only on loan would be worthwhile for us to try and compete in the top ten. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigga Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 Reality is, we need to focus on what we have with us… sick of all these links of players that we know we have no chance of buying as we’re skint until we sell.. CDK we were never getting with No Europe. the players on our books that we need to get rid of are nowhere near leaving us, no credible links.. so if they go, late in the window what chance do we have to replace them ? If we have a list of potentials, the chances are they will already be snapped up by other clubs.. if we keep our stars,,players stay fit which is crucial this season then I see us possibly having a flirt with EL and finishing 7-10th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splinterdream Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 An article in the sun today popped up on my feed somewhere that says we need to sell players due to FFP. What’s this due to then, wages I take it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's basically them parroting from a mixture of Rodgers interviews and a piece Percy did the other day essentially confirming what we already suspected. Our wage bill is catastrophically high and we have too many senior players we can't register them all. We have to get some people out of the club before we can bring some in because we can't keep hoarding senior players basically it's not sustainable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have any left footed right wingers/ACMs coming through, nor have we ever had an academy player score and assist about 50 goals in a single season.

Plastik Man Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 5 hours ago, LestaLad said: Yes please. Bet you like the look of this @Ric Flair My brother in law up in Manchester actually played golf with McAtee's dad a few weeks back. As a Burnley fan he wondered if Kompany could get McAtee in on loan but he was told Man City rate him that highly they didn't want to let him go out on loan. True story. Whether or not they will ultimately loan him out I guess we will find out! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrysalis Posted 22 July 2022 Share Posted 22 July 2022 On 12/07/2022 at 00:22, Grebfromgrebland said: If we're only making one signing it has to be a CB. Soyunchu isn't picked and we can't have amartey in the team for too long. We must get CB cover or somehow revitalise soyunchu which seems unlikely. CM would be next priority and the wait for a specialist RW might have to go on. We buying CBs every summer and its hurting the rest of our team for once a winger needs to come before CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really if they didn't trust him with the budget and have a lack of confidence, he should have been sacked at the end of the season. I dont think we can afford to sack him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is the kind of project that Rodgers would like. I can't see why we wouldn't be all over that. Even just adding 1 player to the starting 11 would be an improvement. We still need a CB but he would solve a problem. The space he would make for Madders, Vardy and Barnes and he is a Right Winger. It's a yes from me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think playing with a striker like Vardy would actually bring the best out of adama, someone who will make all the right runs and keep up with him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
