    Since 22 our business has been poor? From the 23/24 window onwards - Kuhn, Bernardo, Idah, Jota, Schmeichel, Engels, Trusty, McCowan. Back up keeper also sorted in Sinasalo.

    There’s been some players that are nowhere near the requisite quality, granted, but that’ll always be the case.

    If he hasn't actually signed a pre contract then there still might be a slight chance of keeping him if hasn't totally burned his bridges with Rodgers. I mean the chance is there now if he backs himself to establish himself as a first teamer.

    He has signed a pre-contract..

    Edit: Actually looks like terms agreed but not finalised.

    Where's it been confirmed? Genuine question because when it was being reported that WH had bid yesterday he still hadn't actually signed the pre contract even if the terms had been agreed in principle.

    You could weigh up the above with Palma, Holm, Yang, Kwon, Iwata, Oh, Kobayashi, Nawrocki and Lagerbielke.

    Our manager has had to rely on his contacts book to bail out our misfiring recruitment system with Idah on loan and Schmeichel.

    Kuhn is an example of a good piece of scouting and a strong piece of recruitment. Jota coming back is a positive. Engels looks promising.

    One thing I will say is I don’t think scouting or target identification is our issue. Guys like Bazoumma Toure, Sondre Orjasaeter, Mathias Kvistgaarden and Alvyn Sanches amongst others all look like good prospects who would fit our team.

    However, we really seem to struggle to get deals done and in an efficient manner. Idah and Bernardo were prime examples last summer in how long it took to get them done.

    I feel to this point this season we have done really well, league cup in the bag, commanding lead in the league, and qualification to the knockout phase of CL having made over £50m from the campaign.

    We are on course for revenue north of £135m this season, income as a whole including player sales will be around £185-190m. With FSR rules now being in play, that January was a big chance to invest in the team whilst we have the opportunity to do so as we are not certain of CL football next season but we have ended the window with more to do in the summer where we may not have as great a scope.

    Couldn't agree more with what you said above @Foley1888, a real missed opportunity unless we can use the time before the window opens to get players signed up for the summer.

    Did Rodgers mention Cummings at all in his presser today? Really want to know whats going on there.

    To be fair too, palma looked brilliant when he first came in. Really can’t understand what happened there.
    Holm looked a brilliant prospect; again not sure what’s happened since.
    Yang isn’t necessarily a bad player he just isn’t a starter quality player for us but he cost us about 3p so there’s no harm done there. Kwon, probably same applies as Yang.
    Iwata I think personally was a good signing and player, never put a foot wrong just didn’t really suit us because having a solely defensive midfielder in our squad is wasted domestically as we attack so much. (Hence why we haven’t signed another DM since).
    Oh wasn’t bad, just didn’t get more than 10/15 mins most games and had to play behind kyogo and Giakoumakis. Always gonna be hard but we still made money on him.
    Kobayashi-failure but cost us nothing and didn’t we get a fee for him too?

    Nawrocki and lagerbielke for me are the weirdest transfers we’ve made in years. Paid what £8mil total for the two of them? Lagerbielke came with the title of best Swedish defender…. Nawrocki on paper looked like he’d be a player too. Both then suddenly looked terrible, lightweight and not suitable at all!

    our scouting team in recent years has been brilliant on the most part and even when it’s not worked, it’s only been on low value players apart from the last 2.

    We still need to continue looking for prospects though otherwise we’re gonna keep running into this issue of older players who probably don’t want to move to a league like ours at the stage of development they’re in in their careers. Exactly like we’ve supposedly found this and last window

    * sake, never seen that. Daft bint

    Kinda goes hand in hand I suppose, if we don't see him as someone who's gonna be anywhere near our 1st team over next couple of years then we arnt gonna give him 4 to 5 grand a week.

    Moving for money at 18 makes him look even more of a * tbh

    That was obviously a fake. Why would his mum be doing a round robin txt message to her pals like that. And one of them was so pal-y with her that they immediately posted it up on a website. Aye ok.

    He will rightly not be involved unless real emergencies emerge, what would be the point?

    He didn't look near the level of the first team when he came on against Aston Villa.

    Didn't look like he had the build/mobility to do anything. Probably wouldn't even be getting a game at Raith Rovers or Partick Thistle.
