Dahnsouff Posted 12 July 2022 Share Posted 12 July 2022 Apart from the odd outlier (Leeds players), the larger wealthy clubs seems intent on keeping the wealth within their 'circle' by selling amongst themselves Is this my imagination? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with Villa’s early transfers and Newcastle’s capture of Botman. A lot of clubs appear set on padding squads out. Possibly sensible given the congested part of the season post World Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely could have framed his original question a bit better. Have to remember as well though that not all Leicester fans now were brought up supporting Leicester. Recent success will have brought on lots of new admirers who won't know a massive amount about the clubs history etc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just asking 🤔 I think Top is being cautious about backing Rodgers after last summer when he was backed massively, which at the time was the right thing to do because we had just finished 5th twice in a row and won the FA Cup. The question is, why should Top do that again when Rodgers has displayed a clear inability to consistently recruit good players? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this talk of rebuild, money being available, yet 6-7 weeks into the transfer window and nothing. Pre season has started and the new season will do so in a few weeks, yet guys like Youri, who apparently had a whole load of suitors after him is still here. Everything is up in the air, we've got several players on large contracts that aren't good enough and nobody else wants. Youri and Cags can walk away for free next summer and we have no money to spend unless we sell. It's not the best situation to be in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers is but one cog and not the most important one in transfers; that’s down to the recruitment team primarily. I realise it’s easy to blame the boss (he isn’t) but it’s misplaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only constant is that Rodgers at nearly all the clubs he's been at has not done well with transfers under his tenure but improving the players he inherits he prospers in. It can't just be bad luck but you are right, he's not signing off on all of these deals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on say it again, I dare you. I am no fan of Rodgers, this is my opinion and I'm entitled to it, as are those who think he's the man for the job. I very much hope he proves me wrong next season. However, as much as you may dislike Rodgers as coach to blame him for transfers when we have a Director of Football, Head of Recruitment and a team beneath them smacks of blinkered belligerence against the man. It is pointless to reason against that sort of attitude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what you took from my post to illicit the response, but I was saying transfers have not that much to do with Rodgers, it’s the recruitment team mainly. I am indifferent to Rodgers but do believe he deserves a chance this season, but expectations are quite low, or pragmatic as I see it anyway. Top 8 would be ‘ok’ any higher quite encouraging. We need to tread water for a few years until the hoped for youth production line comes on stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know all of this. Everyone knows all of this. I thought it would just be implied that I meant most of the signings made under Rodgers' tenure haven't improved our starting 11. As manager, he is the face and voice of the club, so naturally his name will be mentioned alongside any criticism or praise, it's a natural part of his job. No need to be patronising.
