Well aye, what is the point in just forgetting football players eh, it happened. Bellion, Kleberson, Djemba Djemba, Taibi, Obertan, Manucho, Beattie, Rothen, Faye, Webster, Healey, Kerkar... There isn't a manager going you can't just list of failed signings for. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it shows we've been hit by injuries. Aribo, Jack, and Roofe could all have played a part yesterday if fit. The manager has already said we need more in midfield and I can only imagine a lack of funds is holding that up. You could argue that midfield should've been addressed first but Morelos looked very likely to go with Lille putting in a solid bid. I would guess we brought in more strikers first for that reason. If we didn't bring in more strikers, and Morelos had been sold, our only recognised striker would've been Defoe. This will be Davis and Defoe's last season in football.

Not every transfer will work and that's true of every club and manager. celtic have pissed a good amount of money away in recent years too. What Rangers could make selling Barisic and Kent would more than pay for every piece of business Gerrard has done and then some. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cedrick 8,048 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The mentality and physicality should be studied in depth before any signing is made , you’ve not got that you’ll not cope in a number of spl games like we’ve seen the last 3 seasons Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That limits Gerrard's options to just Davis, Kamara, and Arfield. He's already said we need more in midfield, he's been saying it for weeks. I can understand why he brought in strikers first since it seemed very likely Morelos would leave at one point and we couldn't be left with Defoe as our only recognised striker. I'm sure it'll all be sorted out before the window closes. More midfielders will come in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluenoz 30,681 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Gerrard has always maintained he wants 2 players for every position. When Katic went down, he got Balogun. We are short in midfield due to injuries and he has publicly stated we are looking to add another in midfield. I think the whole Morelos situation has stalled a few options. We will get someone before the deadline. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiritofBillStruth 167 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Grezda, Murphy, Lafferty, Flanagan, Polster, Coulibaly, Firth, Ejaria, Sadiq, McAuley, Stewart, Hastie, Jones, King, Kamberi, Barker, Ojo..... that's an horrendous list of pure dross. That's more than 50% of his signings all utterly useless pointless wastes of money. The rest the jury is out but none have been able to deliver silverware. We haven't made a profit on anyone yet either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't think its a disgrace that we took 10 defensive players to easter road out of twenty, Gerrard has spent nearly 30million quid, its his 3rd season and we went to easter road with ten defensive players out of a a squad of twenty, gave davis the full game, and had barjonas and jones on the bench Id say thats a fucking shambles no question about it Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson and Bassey are their replacements. Katic is out for the season so Balogun was brought in to replace him. Patterson was promoted from the youth system, Bassey was a developmental fee, Balogun was free and has looked solid when played. How is any of this a bad thing?
