Ollie and Danny will be trusted with the main bulk of the games IMO.....Assuming with the better midfield, they will be more consistent. Someone will be brought in to mix it up a bit and give us some variety for options. I’m the opposite mate, I think they will be buying a main striker for reasons I’ve outlined before. It’ll be interesting to see what happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We desperately need to start moving some of our players out the door too. Always seems to be our most problematic issue., baring Jack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see the point of signing an ageing or young striker unless the young striker is way better than Archer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong, its just how I see it.....I think SG still believes in them. Edited June 17, 2022 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wants them around because he needs options but I think he was getting frustrated with them, they also don’t really fit his style, they weren’t delivering so I wasn’t surprised with Suarez rumours, and/or Percy and some other credible sources saying about interest in a forward. Gerrard isn’t here to buy back up/squad players with most of his buys being starters and I don’t think the same will be about the rumoured forward we are interested in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHY Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 2 hours ago, nick76 said: Can’t agree, McGinn scored 3 league goals, Luiz 2, Konsa 2, Mings 1…these figures aren’t enough. How are our big CB’s not scoring more for example. The delivery from set pieces that why, it’s pathetic. Hard to score when you constantly hit the first man. McGinn should score more, Luiz was a DM for most of the season. Not many get more than 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul514 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Honestly I’ve seen no value in a striker this summer but Ekitike and that is a high ceiling development player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree a lot of the set pieces weren’t great but I remember many times when the likes of Mings and Konsa not hitting the target when it seemed easier to hit the target than not. Anyway off topic for this thread so I’ll get back to buying players talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMAICAN-VILLAN Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Does Nathan Collins have a high enough ceiling for us to move on Konsa and/or Chambers to get him in as RCB/RB backup and long term successor to Carlos?

We’ve heard a couple of times the notion of selling either of those two dismissed by the club but we’ve also been told the club are interested in a forward.

useless Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I seriously doubt that Rory Wilson will be anywhere near the first team, he will probably start with the U18s with potential to move up to the U23s if he does well, he's the same age as Kadan Young, so not even first year scholar age until next season, last season playing for Rangers U18s he was playing a year up, most players his age would have still been playing U16 football. If Archer goes out on loan it has crossed my mind we could potentially keep one of the other young strikers around, so either Barry, Young, or Caleb Chukwuemeka, as it would be nice to have one available to train with first team squad and to give game time to in cup competitions, which is kind of how Archer burst onto the scene last season. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanVilla Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think last season taught me (and I’m mostly talking about Grealish and the Sam Lee debacle) that our ITK’s know nothing and the only people who have a slight indication are the more trusted Journalists (Collomoose, Percy, Ramano etc.). This year they seem to be suggesting the focus is now a back up left back. If that’s the case I think people are going to be disappointed because they are expecting a world class number 8 and striker. The management team seem happy with ings and Watkins as our strikers, McGinn is likely to be captain next year and Ramsay is one of Gerrards favourites. So I’m more inclined to trust the journalists on this one. Although I’m massively in the camp of our starting XI is no where near good enough to compete with the likes of Arsenal/Spurs, I’m content that the signings we’ve made in the Gerrard era have been really good and we’re heading in the right direction. Think it’s gonna take time and patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then benches Ollie and Ings and forces a loan move for archer. I just see it being spent elsewhere atm. I suppose if we sell Davis, traore, trez and Ghazi we’ve lost a lot of attacking options so maybe there’s a need for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wezbid Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 I think Neco Williams would be a shrewd investment. He is comfortable at both RB and LB and Liverpool have cover in both positions now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 If Gerrard wanted us to sign Bale, I’m sure he would already be a Villa player. Given how quickly we have done our business when an opportunity arises, I think we’d have no difficulty bringing him to the club on a free.
