They will send them to Leipzig, but only if they are good enough, to further increase their value, but if Salzburg get a offer that they like, they will accept it. Haaland, Minamino, Mane, Lainer are a just a few who left directly to non-RB clubs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those clubs seem to have a crazy eye for talent and also teach players to work very hard off the ball. Real pressing machines, which I guess is why so many have ended up at Liverpool lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like they would suit the way SG wants to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nepal_villan Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Lacks any bite. Always lose 50-50 balls. Can't string passes together. Needs a shakeup this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that will be the priority in the summer - one, possibly two (if Luiz goes) starting midfielders. Could make all the difference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Luiz can pass. Mcginn has a ping and can rattle. Ramsey has legs. They all have their faults but it shouldn't be difficult as it looks to get them playing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Afro Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 None of them are consistently good enough at the moment. Luis and Ramsey are young enough to get there but SJM is probably at his peak now. None of them are physical enough. Two starting midfielders of suitable quality would massively improve our performances. Although I would be happy to keep all of our midfielders to be part of the squad I think it’s likely we will sell one or two. I suspect Sanson and Luiz will leave.

Luiz and McGinn are chalk and cheese, they both have good attributes but they simply don’t work together imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Will be a bit controversial this post but this area of the field is our biggest problem and requires some major thinking over the summer. Nakamba - obviously limited but retain as our back up no6. Luiz - would like him to sign a new deal and retain to fight for his place as an no8. Will have to be sold though if he doesn’t sign a new deal this summer. McGinn - would honestly move on for a top price. We need to improve on McGinn if we want to break into the top eight. Sanson - perhaps there’s a reason why he doesn’t play? Smith and now Gerrard haven’t fancied him. Move on in the summer. Chukwuemeka - would love him to stay and sign a new deal but perhaps he’ll leave. J Ramsey - big future and been a bright spark this season for us. Iroegbunam - could be the surprise package next season. Looking forward to seeing what he’s about. I honestly think between three or four of the above could go in the summer. A couple out of choice and a couple because they won’t sign new deals. That means possibly three or four coming in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messi11 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Nakamba - Can be our back up number 6 KEEP Luiz - Utter shite, lightweight, cant tackle, cant run, no creativity in his bones, SELL McGinn - Fails to do the simple things on a PL football pitch like to be able to keep the ball and pull of a simple pass to his teammate. Wont miss his trys of hollywood balls every game. SELL Sanson - No point keeping him here is he not gonna get a chance. its either now or never. SELL Chukwuemeka - Need to start him this season to get him ready for the future. KEEP J Ramsey - Brightest spark of our season. KEEP Iroegbunam - needs to be starting games soon to get him ready for next season. KEEP DM- New Number 6, Nakamba, Iroegbunam CM- New CM, New CM, Ramsey, Chukwuemka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fail to see this, He also very slow on the ball. Slow in general. he would offer nothing for us has a number 8 role. its laughable to even consider him. He just not got it that's all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted March 20, 2022 Author Share Posted March 20, 2022 We needed two central midfielders in the Summer before this season started. We didn’t address it and it’s why we lose a lot of football matches. It’s a shame, because I think we have some very good players in other positions. Our midfield is piss poor. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would cost way less and is younger. However if we had a midfield of Ramsey, Camara and Bissouma we’d be horrible to play against.

CVByrne Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 McGinn and Luiz aren't good enough to be starting football matches in a team that wants to compete for the top 7. We should focus investment on signing two new players and letting one of them leave. McGinn in particular isn't capable of the level of passing required for the way Gerrard wants to play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new central midfielders needed in the Summer. We seemed to have spent a lot on every other department since being promoted, now we need to improve this area in particular. TWO new central midfielders is important. I’d let Luiz and Sanson leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
