KFS Posted 20 December 2022 Share Posted 20 December 2022 28 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: We definitely need a left footed defender and a winger, surely it's got to be a right winger though before we entertain getting a back up to Barnes. I know but with Lookman not returning and the Boga links I get the impression he thinks we’re set with Maddison IF and Praet the backup… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Praet seems to want out again though, so we are way short out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
South Shire Fox Posted 21 December 2022 Share Posted 21 December 2022 Desperately need some pace in this team. Albrighton, Praet, Maddison and Barnes must be the slowest set of players used as ‘wingers’ in the history of the Premier League Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 21 December 2022 Author Share Posted 21 December 2022 Contracts expiring in 2023: Tielemans Soyuncu Amartey Perez Mendy Bertrand Contracts expiring in 2024: Praet Vestergaard Maddison Ndidi Iheanacho Thomas Vardy Albrighton Smithies We need some low cost, young squad fillers. The Justin signing was the perfect example, when he needed him he was already well intreated and he didn't break the bank. I don't think we have the finances, nous and capability to make 5+ decent signings in consecutive seasons. There's players in Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Belgium, Austria, Serbia, Croatia, Poland and the big 5 second tiers we can pick up for a few million. That's the profile to target rather than the £15m+ 'sure thing' each time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post moore_94 Posted 23 December 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 23 December 2022 From Rodgers Press Conference: Transfers? “We’ve a couple of areas we would like to improve and we hope to do that. There’s been plenty of work behind the scenes. Hopefully we can improve the depth.” Where transfers? “It’s clear we’ve lost a number of our full-backs, so we’ll look at the left-back position. And also for an out-and-out winger on the right side is one we will definitely look at.” More backing than summer? “Most definitely. It was a challenging summer for us. Come January, we’ve looked at that and we hope to be able to spend wisely.” 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t have to be a massive outlay at all, just some smart transfers that fix problems we have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest though, Faes showed the improvement that can be made when you bring someone into that role, rather than just using cover. If Evans can't be relied on, and Vesty is on the scrapheap, we must buy. We have to find a way of getting Vesty off the books in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 23 December 2022 Share Posted 23 December 2022 I just hope we have a few leavers early in this Window. As I don't think we'll see many singings if we if we can't get the fringe players out early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If at the end of Feb we have brought no one in, then Rodgers is going back to full on strop mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 26 December 2022 Share Posted 26 December 2022 With Alves now out injured as well I think we need at least 2 attack minded signings. A RW and either a back up LW or another ACM / 10 that can come on and hurt teams. We need to throw everything at it in January as I genuinely think we can still win something and/or qualify for Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, this squad needs serious investment and at least one very good transfer window - whether that be January or in the summer. Add CF to that list. I hope I'm wrong, I really do, but I'm starting to come to the conclusion that Daka hasn't got the necessaries for this level. Looks like he's running in treacle with the ball. Perhaps it's just a confidence thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daka was diabolical today, clueless and I'm massively worried he's lost his way which is really frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
