Diego21 2014 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 The club's strategy, for the moment, does not seem to be giving too many clues to the press. The players that we have signed that have been more expensive have hardly been mentioned or it seemed that they were going to another team. Isak and Tonali arrived overnight when there were no rumors for them. Botman (Milan) and Bruno (Arsenal) did make a lot of noise, but because it seemed like there was a war that we had lost. Those who have really sounded the most have been guys like Diego Carlos, Maddison or Paquetá, and they never came. The Trippier, Pope or Burn thing was also sudden and almost without knowing. Gordon never made a sound either and when it seemed like he was going to Chelsea or Tottenham, suddenly we made it official. If Szoboszlai doesn't end up coming, he doesn't worry me, although he seemed like a good player to me. Surely the club has other ideas that have not yet come to the press. And if the level of Almirón or Murphy is the same as last season and Gordon and Saint Maximin can really contribute more than last year (something easy to do), it would not seem like a drama to me not to sign anyone. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9304 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Honestly, I'm bummed that it looks like we're not getting Szoboszlai. He's a really exciting player. BUT, I have to remind myself that we're 3-5yrs ahead of schedule and Szoboszlai is the kind of player who moves to an elite club. We're not there yet.

None will be more upset about it than me (on here). Even more so if he goes to Liverpool. Sure we're not there yet, as far as being an elite club, but we're in the Champions League and they're not. I believe we have an elite club level hierarchy in place and an eager manager who is doing a phenomenal job and IMO will improve because he's young and adaptive. We need that sort of signing to try to maintain our champions league status through increasing our overall quality and depth.

We have a thin squad which is largely inexperienced playing in multiple competitions. Brighton and Villa may still be a threat too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and we have that sort of signing in; Isak, Bruno, Tonali, Botman, Trippier. And there'll be more to come. Just maybe not this window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 5116 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 We'll get an other 2 or 3 in at least, no bother. Teams will start dropping their pants soon when they realise they can't get what they want for player X when the deadline is approaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isegrim 8987 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 I am not fussed. Many of us having seen only little of him, including myself although I could have watched him a lot more than you. He was very good for Hungary when they played Germany most recently and had some very good performances for the club as I can gather. He is certainly talented but there are definitely other players who are as good as him or even better. It will be interesting how much Liverpool will actually pay for him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4296 Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Seems to me like weve stepped away from central midfield with the Tonali deal done. No bids were reported for Maddison after that deal and so far its the same for Szoboszlai at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
