    Last January was poor in that we didn't get a left back in, that was murder. Again though, anyone thinking we just didn't bother our * trying is just looking for drama.

    I'm always of the opinion that any player we bring in has talent and deserves the chance to turn that into good performances under the pressure here. Never a guarantee but first and foremost I back them until it's clear they will never work.

    That Mark Lawwell period imo was a genuine attempt at building a recruitment structure. It never worked out, most of the players he brought in failed and he subsequently lost his job. Like I said yesterday, it's tough at the top. We move forward and go again.

    I think it's shows a lack of ambition even a lack of professionalism. Are we not meant to be aspiring to regularly competing at this level in Europe?

    If so.. then you have to act like a big team. Not the the loss of Kyogo....but the lack of replacement is the unprofessional part. We are going into the Bayern game less capable of beating them than we were in December.
    That's how I'm looking at it

    This is something I'm probably concerned about.

    It's a must that we keep this squad together till that qualifier is done. I'd like to think Hatate is maybe the only one we lose. Hopefully.

    Otherwise it's just a case of more work being needed

    Rodgers had issues with that window as well though, remember. He gave a similar interview last year which alluded to us needing to be "braver" in the market.

    We eventually followed it up with good investment in the summer.

    We need to do that again. And we also need to get away from our manager having to make public soundbites about it. The board should hopefully see the benefits it brings not only on the park but in the mood of their manager and the support.

    Well luckily the summer window is a better bet for bringing in quality. And we have a top manager who will expect to be backed and will be by a board that also want success.

    We're playing the long game mate, and it's working a treat.

    If a CL-level club want Kühn or Hatate and they play in a qualifier for us, can they play in the CL proper for them or would they be cup-tied?

    Think they could be registered for the group stage.

    Yes but I also doesn't help thst we are very proud of our bank balance and tell everyone....there's AGMs that tell everyone how much profit we've made.
    Brondby also know how much money we're getting for reaching next stage of Champions League. It's common knowledge

    Price depends on who's buying
    If Real Madrid wanted that Kvistgaarden they'd be getting quoted a higher price than that one.
    It's what happens

    I would be worried that Brendan would be so * off with this that he'd jump ship again. But I dont think he will. He's on very good wages and knows where his bread is buttered.

    If he does though. It wouldnt surprise me if we just start getting our managers on loan deals. That'll be the next thing
