trublusince1982 243 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Been said Liverpool loan out their better prospects for free but you have too pay 100%of the wages and agree to start them in 70% of the games in agreed upon position. We might have fallen but we sure as hell ain't guarantying starting positions for other teams youth players and nobody should want us too 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buster. 4,808 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 The post-match SG comments, "serious lack of quality in the final third" and "I'm concerned with the lack of quality in the final third" almost sounded like a plain and blunt message for those in the boardroom. At the sametime, if the reports of a 3M bid for another centre-half are correct then it heavily suggests we are waiting for a loan deal to bring in a forward with some perceived quality. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,217 Posted July 18, 2018 Author Share Posted July 18, 2018 Not exactly a message to the board, IMHO. The latter enabled a mere 10 deals thus far and then there is this Cooper thing. More like a timely reminder for Windass and Morelos to get their act together and rise - again - to the challenge. That said, we are not halfway through our pre-season yet. It could well be that we have deals for a striker or two lined up, but their parent clubs or other technicalities hold them up. After all, the window does not close tomorrow. If it has to be loans, you'd obviously want experienced folk like Sadiq, not EPL 2 youngsters who will probably don't like the attention of their Scottish defenses' counterparts all too much. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I've said before, I think SG might have wanted to view a number of players in a "competitive" environment before making further changes. It has been clearly evident that the defense has been lacking over the past couple of years. However, we scored the most goals in the SPFL last season, so something was working up front. Given how SG is setting up the team, he may have wanted to see how the existing forward line works with that setup. Again, it might not mean wholesale changes upfront IF SG can instruct/guide the current forwards in a more effective way to operate. What is clear now is that he has had 2 competitive & 1 friendly matches to see his "goal scorers" in action & clearly isn't overly impressed. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To tell Windass and Morelos that they seriously lack quality, opposed to say a lack of understanding/cohesion is more or less saying you ain't good enough and I need new, better and/or more committed players. To get these you need finance.............. Sadiq plus one decent loan makes logical sense BUT IMO we seriously need to look at the Morelos situation and deal with it before this window closes. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
