Speculation The hysterical and annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded winter 2022/23 rumours thread

If our net spend in recent years is only £10 million then please can someone explain how we are constricted by FFP rules?

I assume it's because we are paying the absolute shite that we've signed a **** load.


Not to mention our hugely overpaid manager

Massive squad/staff paid massive wages. Way beyond our income level which is mediocre. No European football this season also means a big drop in income.

Wages

Which is probably the reason why we won't sign anyone until someone leaves 1st

Feels like the whole thing started falling apart when we missed out on top 4, twice. Genuinely think the whole business plan was focussed on that CL qualification, rightly or wrongly.

Despite the fact I think Rodgers should be sacked and is a whining excuse making prat, he does have points. He's right when he says the squad is in need of big investment and a major refresh. Top has taken the position to prioritise improving the infrastructure and I suspect that has clearly hampered our ability to improve the squad. Having said that, Brenda's track record with new recruits so far has been pretty grim. He hasn't been able to get a tune out of any of last summer's recruits and at the same time certain players in the squad that were already here are going backwards. It would be interesting to know just how much input Rodgers had with the signings of Daka, Soumare, Vestergaard and Bertrand. End of the day there's a choice for Top... back or sack. Give him the money to refresh the squad or get rid we can't just keep plodding along like nothing is wrong and it will work itself out.

Atletico could move for Leicester and Turkey defender Caglar Soyuncu, 26, as Felipe's replacement. (Matteo Morretto on Twitter - in Italian)

I'm not even sure that the main problem is the transfers.

We can't seem to keep any of our players fit. At all.

If, like me, you know nothing about Nico Gonzalez, this is quite an interesting read:


I'd be very excited about us signing a right winger to be honest.

The injury record sounds a concern though, especially given how we injure players who weren't previously injury prone.

Yea, we aren't signing him mate

Spend the money sacking Brendan and it’ll be like having 25 new players

Madness.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Madness.

60m Euro for the next Callum Wilson or Danny Ings. Football is silly.

Our loss position is about £120 million.

Serious desperate wibble

I predict it won’t be done until the last day of the window.

Pretty solid source there…..
