South Shire Fox Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 (edited) Really would not surprise me if we sold Fofana that Rodgers would spunk a large proportion of it on some Premier league filth like Tyrone Mings or Lindelof Edited 9 August 2022 by South Shire Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFS Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 So if reports are to be believed we are trying to actively move on: Vestergaard Soumare Choudhury Bertrand is milking it and needs to retire and we don’t have to register Ricardo for this next 6 months at least. That means 5 out of the 25 shifted on. I am really hoping that means at least one addition and we’d have to make our minds up on whether that’s a winger or CB. Of course the above is contingent on keeping Tielemans and Fofana. If either of them went we’d need a replacement on top of the net new add to the squad. This year really is a filler for LCFC before a huge revamp next summer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention Belotti and Grillitsch.... the Free transfer list is still looking stacked considering it's August! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegaffa Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Grillitsch and belotti would be excellent free transfers, especially the stature and aggressiveness of Grillitsch in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have suggested him before Would be a smart signing as he is very much a ball playing defensive mid, he gets stuck in, and he can also actually play centre back pretty comfortably Problem is there seems to be issues around his dad and how he is getting involved in deals, he has already messed up moves to Fiorentina and Galatasaray for him this summer Edited 9 August 2022 by moore_94 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This year really is a filler for LCFC before a huge revamp next summer. Next summer FFP regulations get even tighter. We will lose half a team or more of players. If Wes doesn’t go now he goes then. Same for Youri and possibly Madders. Next summer there will be blood on the dance floor, most of it ours. The big boys will cruise on like nothing has happened and the rest of us will be squeezed boneless - just like they planned. Eventually it will get so infuriating we will all actually applaud the European Super League so these rich wrist shakers can sail off and stop cornering the whole market. They will still do that of course and the rest of the teams in the paupers leagues will slowly suffocate. Nice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 I’m sure many will have seen this and it’s in another thread but if not it was very useful to me (if true) on what’s going on and why we haven’t sign anyone yet. sorry if it’s been posted in this thread already.

Ric Flair Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 For about the 3rd summer running, Alex Collado looks to be being mugged off by Barcelona. He'd be an interesting signing, left footed ACM/RW. Celtic are sniffing around but he's good enough to make an impact in the PL IMO. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defensively outstanding, won everything in the air, cant remember him losing a challenge, covered well and made 1 or 2 good interceptions. Going forward he picked the ball up and drove at the Millwall defense on numerous occasions, made overlapping and underlapping runs, although his shooting was a little wayward He's far too good for that standard of football. ....thought I would take a look at him on YouTube...!!! It was the game against Millwall and he looked bang average. We might as well have been an academy player like Callum Wright. Edited 9 August 2022 by sacreblueits442 Spelling Error.

Not sure how far your gonna get playing Callum Wright at centre back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 10 August 2022 Share Posted 10 August 2022 Isaac Lihadji from Lille, year left on his deal. Still a bit raw and unpolished but was being billed as a potential superstar when at Marseille when he was 16/17. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the avenue we're likely to need to go down in the future, plus he's a left footed right winger and a current France U21 International which is no mean feat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that you're applying logic and thought into this. Get a pin and twat it at a random page of L'Equipe, cross fingers, hope. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and for about the billionth time, the database is actually a part of the professional stat set purchased by and used by most top teams in Europe. It is used as a way of narrowing down targets for scouting - because it is THAT good. Honestly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers of ‘starlets’ who are identified on FM who then come through to be amazing is unreal! That was the first place I’d seen Vinicius Junior, for instance.

Like I knew Neil Lennon and Muzzy Izzet would be godly due to the previous iteration of FM. It is incredibly accurate and widely dismissed by idiots.

Kim Kallstrom was always my second signing (after Taribo West) when he was like 17. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
