January Window

[miller0863]

I doubt we’ll bring in anyone during this window, as unpalatable as that may be.

[miller0863]

Should have saved our Wirtz money and gone for this guy.


Chelsea are lining up a 150m euros (£130.6m) bid for England and Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers, 23. (Fichajes - in Spanish)

maybe they want Slot gone? so won't part with the cash? theres rumours he will be gone by the summer anyway. so who knows. I blame the recruitment staff for a lot of the issues. Maybe Slot didn't want half of the players. and wanted others. and instead of understanding..the recruitment people would rather get rid of the manager. would lead to a lot of tension behind the scenes

[miller0863]

It’s a combination of poor recruitment and weak management.

[justme]

I would never go to Chelsea they buy players and have no idea what they are doing.. I personally think we should try and do a deal with Bayern.. see if we can get part deal with Olise and Wirzt. would mean our right side would fixed then when Salah leaves. Just need another midfielder then. and several other signings

Nice punchline. Care to explain? I mean, go into detail as to why it's poor recrutiment and weak management instead of throwing out silly phrases which don't mean anything. Tell us what you know about management and recruitement that Slot, Edwards and co don't know?

If you're not willing to explain, then give it a rest.

A lot will depend on where we are in January.

For me there are 4 senior players that could move in January that would be seismic in terms of departures.

Mo, VVD, Konate & Maca.

I think a lot of our problems this season come down to their performances & attitudes.

When it comes to the dressing room being lost, VVD & Mo seem to be the stand out guys.
Both were awful v psv and Jones did the talking post match after their performances.

Salah will go down as a legend but hes been like this before doing pressers like tonight when Klopp was in charge.

It's the 1st time Virgil has disappointed at LFC for me, but he's been shocking this season.

For me, it is similar to utd with Jose. You can sack the manager all you like but you need to get the players out who'll tank our club when it suits them.

If MacA & Konate want real they can leave too.

Clear as day that many others are giving it their best. As a man once said, attitude is more important that talent.

Unsurprised by MacA's comments really, they match his performances.
Calling for teamwork whilst talking shit and directing the blame away from himself. Snake.

Last year we had Captain, Vice captain and Legend running their contracts down.

We had Diaz post photos out socialising and a local media interview aired whilst others mourned and buried Jota.

Good points. Salah is acting like a diva and it's not a good look but it does highlight something is clearly wrong backstage.
Absolutely right about some giving it their best but it only takes one or two at this level to be below their best and before you know it it results in this situation.
What id like to know is what has started all this. Where did it begin? Hope to God we aren't at a point that Utd were where there was real poison in the camp.

It really started with Bosman and the rise of Player FC & Agents.
For me its a case of moving on those who put themselves above the club.

Not sure if i believe the rumour but real madrid want gravenberch for £105m.
Cant see us turning that down if true.

[Kev0909]

Mentioned mane from wolves before, had a stormer v west ham won't be there next season that's for sure at this rate.

Not saying we should sign him but he looks like he'll be a player- direct pacey- has end product too, a upgrade on Rio by the looks of it.

Is Rio 18 yet ?
Not like you to give someone a chance, Kev 🤣

Is that pretty much how Chelsea are run? That would be a disaster of we ended up like that.

he's talking shite anyway as usual "rumours he'll be gone in the summer" well if things carry on and we don't get top4 it's pretty obvious how it ends.... maybe I should start making up rumours and get clicks on a website..... so dumb

16 just 2 days before the season kicked off. Too young to buy a beer.

48 minutes combined this season and has 1 as many goals to his name as Florian… The winner on the toon.

Think - (hope) - when Kev says ‘upgrade’ he means - a more senior player. Which wouldn’t be unfair. Currently it’s Gakpo or a child.

well we need a option, obviously rio is to young to be given a chance by the looks of things if he can't get much of a look in now, and he's very raw as expected...... p.s some of the top players was class at 17

Like I said, not saying we should sign him but who knows if we can get him at a decent price when wolves go down, might not be a bad shout- and could be sold for profit further down the line if it doesn't work out.

need to look to the future Ian, doubt chiesa & Salah will be here much longer, but never fear, at least we have Gakpo!

That's the world we live in unfortunatly. Make something up for clicks and likes.

I'm not even referring to sacking the manager but the recruitment, where the manager has no say. If we were going that route we are in seriously trouble. Manager and upper management need to be aligned, especially when it comes to recruitment.
