    There’s never been any planning since he brought Congerton in. You just have to look at the Dembele and Boyata shambles.

    We’ve went backwards majorly since he came in because there’s no forward planning when it comes to recruitment and it’s going to catch up on us big time.

    Mctominay is an uninspiring target. Another loan as well.

    I'm not against them but c'mon to *...we've spent £2m so far.

    Something isn't right and Rodgers comments aren't encouraging.

    It doesn't matter if some of the signings are loan players , a signing is a signing and we have been lacking severly in that department , the main objective is to make the first 11 and squad as strong as possible we and Brendan have not had that luxury since the summer transfer window we had going to places like Hearts , Hibs and Huns with a makeshift team and not even a striker on the pitch that's why the league is still close we thought we could just get by with what we had easily enough still top sure .

    Happy we are at least making moves to rectify the problem and give us fresh impetus.

    You are reading wayyyy too much into that.

    It’s as clear as day he’s talking about the 2 guys that he actually has for 6 months.

    No wonder the guy might leave, he cannae fart without it being micro-analysed.

    I dont think we have had a strong transfer window for quite some time now and I dont think this one is shaping up to be any better. I think we are and can do a lot better than what we have been getting.

    “Quality over quantity” used to be the term used.

    We’ve £20m in the bank from Dembele alone, why aren’t we spending some of it..

    If we don’t bring in a first choice RB and a CB even on a pre-contract for the qualifiers we will have failed again.

    They could argue that money covered the loss of champions league and increased contracts and future contract offers.

    That’s £20m plus the money we already have in the bank, so it’s not a viable excuse.

    Lawwell has said we budget for the Europa league so that money should be used to help the squad.

    Possibly not but some of it will go to that. The 30m we dropped by not qualifying could even it out.
    The problem in my opinion is so much * coming in that don't even go on loan like Gamboa, Hendry, De Vries, Benyu and Compper. Then you have players like Kouassi, Hayes, mulumbu and Simunovic who have been fine at times have never made an impact. Those salaries mount up. 36 men in your squad is far to many. It should be no larger than 30.

    The amount of people employed at our club and amongst our support that are overjoyed that we have essentially become a training club for the financially doped oil rich parasite club's in Europe is depressing, using us as a vehicle to essentially increase a players value so they can maximise profit for them or prep them for their own first team. And we pander to them in the hope they'll throw us a scrap or two when they no longer have a use for them.

    His comments about not signing a CB because they’ll want to play are absolutely baffling.

    We badly need someone in to overhaul our recruitment even if it * him off.

    We can’t just stop planning for the future because of him wanting to play players who won’t be here next season.

    It’s already caught up on us big time this season. If we just keep going window to window because him and Congerton are inept when it comes to recruitment then we’re going to be in an absolute state when they leave.

    I don’t get why Rodgers has said he would rather play two players who are not going to be in the summer before bringing in two centre half’s who will be here past the summer?

    It’s very confusing indeed? I mean why would you rather play them? To me it seems like Rodgers is becoming a yes man.

    Looks like his Liverpool days regarding defenders. Does this mean he won’t be here come the summer? Because if you are planning long term why wouldn’t you get someone in to bed then into the squad?

    * horrendous.

    It's about time the fans let the board know it's shocking how little has been invested in the squad of the last couple of years

    MASSIVE rebuild gonna need done in the summer, looks like well be losing our captain, lustig, benko and boyata(good riddance) and possibly brendan. If were gonna reach the 10 we are gonna need proper money invested in the squad this summer but wont hold my breath as going by our past few windows I have no faith at all in the board or recruitment team. If people had been doing their jobs right the past few years we would be out of sight but the board seems content to get by spending just enough to keep us ahead of those * across the city. What the * has that * lawwell done to deserve a 2.3 mil bonus.
