    No guarantee CCV will still be here and is missing loads of games though injury now.

    Jury is still out on Trusty (for me) and Scales isn't good enough, ultimately. I wouldn't feel comfortable with having those 3 as our only options in next year's CL again, put it that way.

    Probably taking the paperwork down for KT to sign to save a stamp.

    The board sucks, the opportunity to build from a position of strength even at the cost of some of our bank balance doesn’t even register for them, this proves they won’t back the manager.. summer signings were all covered by O’riley sale and Jota signing was covered by Kyogo sale.
    If you take into account Bernabei sale and CL earnings they are underspending by an unprecedented amount.

    The drop off from out starters to back ups is frightening.

    Arguably not weaker, we have maintained the status quo. Kyogo was missing sitters right, left and centre. We got a very good wedge for a thirty year old.

    Let's not kid ourselves any longer, Kyogo was/is our main striker. Idah is on fire, and the other strikers will be hungry to make their mark.

    The board are fully responsible, Rodgers made clear he needed his squad strengthened, we’ve got the funds and they’ve failed him

    It's really as simple as that. The fact some people are just ignoring it is incredible.

    How much have we actually spent in the summer and this window compared to what we've brought in? There absolutely no excuse for not getting a striker.. even on loan to ease the burden on Idah..these * need chased.

    We had such a chance to build on the amazing story of Jota's return at the weekend. All most of us probably hoped for was a half-decent striker - even on loan. The fact they couldn't even do that.. *, I wish our support would show some anger at these *.

    Sick of the happy clappers telling us all how successful we have been domestically. We basically have a free hit in the league. We can absolutely go up a level with better scouting and ambition. Why have they admitted having so much money in the bank is bad business, yet seem incapable of ever not balancing the books each window?? It's like a mental * illness, so it is.

    We've made almost £7m profit in transfers this window alone, if you discount the fee for Schlupp.

    If the words "it is hard to get players in January " are uttered after selling Kyogo I'll take a massive dump on Nicholsons desk.

    In a nutshell really.

    But it'll still be defended by some.

    Wissam Ben Yedder is available but he’s in talks with Venezia. Appears to have been a very good striker for Monaco for a number of seasons. 34 though.
