I was thinking post-career. Maybe I shouldn’t have referred to his CV.
When he’s dandling his grandkids on his knackered knees saying he played for LFC and Meelan, will sound a lot better than including Crystal Palace in the list of clubs he played for.
This is a joke, right? And I’m not talking about Naked Gun reference. They’ve just burned a truckload of money on a Chelsea sicknote. I think it’s fair to expect something in the region of 25-30 million pounds for him.
I do applaud the team (Hughes and Edwards) for the business they have done this summer, especially the sales, but boy, our quality depth is nonexistent, particularly compared to our rivals.
Not sure if it is. I think there is a lot of labelling of squad players as kids but Leoni in my view is ready. Yes you don’t want to overplay these lads but it’s short by two players in my view.
If we go into rest of the season with the attacking options its a totally disgraceful for a team expected to challenge for honours. Isak on his own isn’t enough and Rodgers would be a bit underwhelming.
I believe we still need to strengthen our attacking options. I would not be mad if we added another in the middle. defence is ok with leoni and potentially Marc coming in.
If you aren’t happy with Isak and Rogers in addition to what we already have, then you are spoilt, entitled, and have no understanding of the club or the game.
This has been a fantastic window so far and I find it quite difficult to label it as anything but… almost no matter what happens in the last day and a half.
We almost (that is what we are now trying to do) rebuilt our squad in one window. One window with 4 new starters. Perhaps some people feel like we should have made a more gradual change… but that is a question of strategy. We have fit almost 2 or 3 season’s work intro one window.
And we got Wirtz (I know the excitement has died down), the previously thought to be unattainable best player on the market.
At the same time we really moved on a number of players at good prices.
Now I’d like Guehi, but to be honest I think the work is more on Slot to get the guys integrated and firing than to have Hughes buy another which will determine if we lift another trophy this year.
