a 30 year midfielder on a free , a replacement right back , an 18 year old whose balls havent dropped , a back up keeper and a Brazilian who's an unklnown quantity in the EPL? Hardly cleaning up from where Jr and I sit. Sorry but I've seen Rodgers squander too much money in the past to be excited by anything he does. Having said that , I do hope Firmino is the biz but jury's out yet.
One question- who's going to score the bloody goals???
guess it depends on your state of mind!
my state of mind is just a neutral looking at your signings.
I don't care about the 18yo and the keeper, but for me, Milner, Clyne and Firmino for less than 35 mil in fees is daylight robbery. Clyne and Milner in particular are amazing value, you guys certainly weren't the favourites to sign them as little as 2 months ago. ManU have been chasing Clyne with big bucks,and Milner had other offers but chose you guys to get more starts. I also expected Firmino to go to a Champs League club somewhere in Europe.
Our squad was woefully under strength last season and although there is no CL to speak of, there is Europa and whether or not anyone rates this competition, I'd like to see us do well. This relies on 2 - 3 players per position (not for each position, but players like Firmino who can play in 3 or 4 spots).
We'd have quite a starting line up - maybe not title challenging but something quite exciting anyway.
I'd have put Markovic in there but I can see him going on loan. Also add Ibe into the first team as a regular
