New ex-players (and managers) thread

[londonfox]

It's telling that they couldn't find a pic of him playing for his most recent club

That was my initial thought too

 

[Blue Maniac]

I’m always curious how “interest” arises in a player who’s been shite for years.

 

[FOX Franks]

Off to Celtic he goes

Quite possibly, Rodgers working his magic already.

Celtic may sign new defender due to injuries - Rodgers

Celtic will "look at" recruiting defensively after three players were ruled out for eight weeks, says boss Brendan Rodgers.

Reflecting on Rodgers, enormous money aside it must be humiliating to go back to Celtic. To drop them then have to crawl back.

And, by the looks of it, to be doing a shit job of it too.

I said it at some point last season, but I think missing out on that 4th place finish with us in such a depressing way - and doing the same thing in consecutive seasons - destroyed BR mentally. I think he's associated so much with Liverpool's title miss and the Slippy G moment, that then being a nearly man yet again with us twice just ruined him, and he can't come back from it.

A combination of that mental side and perhaps his tactics being outdated or just a stubbornness that his ideas will work when they're not, and I think that's why he's got to this point.

How things have started for him at Celtic so far looks like he might be done.*

*although "done" for a football manager often means although he'll never get a top job or any real success again, he'll probably still get offered a lifeline by a struggling & desperate Premier League side for the next 5-10 seasons.

Yeah, he's got that look you could see on the face of Little or Adams.

We've always had a way about us for ruining a manager.

Evans and Bertrand eh? What a fabulously run club.

 

[H T B]

Luke Shaw is supposed to be out for while, but I'm sure [!] there are better options, but you have to love it though

 

[FOX Franks]

Evans and Bertrand eh? What a fabulously run club.

What the actual ****, that absolutely cannot be true

What the actual chuff? That can't be even remotely true...

They'd be better off bringing Jesse Lingard back and playing him there.

It's probably as true as the KDH to Manchester City story I read earlier.

Oh, you don't believe that KDH story???

I take it they're giving us Bernardo Silva plus cash in that deal.

Easy to confuse KDH with KDB.
