Popular Post Mark 'expert' Lawrenson Posted 20 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 20 January 2023 Lookman for 15 million was a snip, we could of had him for a couple of seasons and made a good profit after. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuchsntf Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 I Wonder after so many windows without forward-transfer success.. Why we didn’t go in for players like Ings or even a return of Wood…both proven PL scorers,at a better rate than present.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfanlee23 Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 Honestly at the moment it's all sounding a bit desperate. The problem with media talk is you're led to believe you're genuinely in for a player when you never were, so as fans we sit here thinking we've missed out on loads of players. But some of the info that's coming in like Outtara and Gonzalez seemed quite real, and the fact we've been turned down by that young polish defender to go on loan at ****ing Gent really is worrying. I can honestly see us ending up with nothing, or a journeyman player on loan who offers absolutely nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe i I could have explained that better. I wouldn’t be on here if I didn’t appreciate other views and learn from them. But there are some views that you will clearly disagree with. I try not to get antagonised by those. Football is an emotive subject. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn’t be on here if I didn’t value other peoples views or learn from them. Some I just don’t agree with and I accept we all have a right to different viewpoints. Football is a very emotive subject though so I try not to get too antagonised by views I will never agree with. Back on subject I still don’t think lookman is a journeyman and I think at the price been offered at the time he would have been a good addition. Even then I think we knew we were struggling on the financials. I get what you say about sticking to the strategy but I don’t think most people at the club would have wanted to sell Barnes and now is not a good time to sell him. We have to hope his form will return and help us push up the table. If we can get Maddison and KdH back and firing I’m sure that will help him too.

Rigga Posted 20 January 2023 Share Posted 20 January 2023 Does make me wonder what goes on behind the scenes on our transfers.. absolutely crying out for players.. they would have been scouted.. we would have lists of potentials.. it’s like we literally wait until 2/3 weeks into the window to firstly get linked with players and then in the final week, we may actually sign one.. we are a proper car crash right through the club at present… owner board manager players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes will still contribute to us but we could do with the £30m+ it could’ve made us. ...Barnes is an English International, he is worth a lot more than £30m!!! We would not have sold Barnes, we would then need a backup for the left wing. Lookman would have been on the bench as a sub for Barnes or start at Right wing when we are brave enough, on the occasional days that Rodgers comes to his senses. We are not a front-foot team, Lookman is good at getting in great positions, if he had the finishing ability I believe he would be a terrific player.

Shane Posted 21 January 2023 Share Posted 21 January 2023 Wouldn’t mind Reiss Nelson. Fast, direct, can play on both flanks.. Him, Barnes and a new right winger would be decent competition. Out of contract in the summer. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sort of, my point is what whilst yes, the media will hype up loads of players that we are in for, there are still credible journalists and people in the know who are telling us we are in for players, but are getting turned down. For example Nico Gonzalez, Outtara going to Bournemouth (although slightly more obvious) being turned down for GENT etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
