Joe Garner and Dembelle on same goals scored total. Mind you it's taken Garner all season to score 3 and Mousa an appearance off the bench in the second half and he only cost less than a third of what Garner cost.

Boyata is only one away from deadly Joe 🤕.

Bit harsh JFP lol. He's had his moments (he coould continue to) but I've been clinging onto a hope Boyata will come good. If he can play to how I think he can, and find a level of concistency, we'll have a cracking CB on our hands.

{Ed007's Note - I'm a bit of a Boyata fan as you know, JT and if he continues playing the way he is working hard and learning as Rodgers wants him to he could save us a few million in the transfer market. Rodgers always told him if he got fit and worked hard in training he would get a chance, even Toure is helping him out .
2 or 3 from Simunovic, Sviatchenko, Boyata, Lustig and Ajer when he comes back isn't too shabby imo. I'd like to see O'Connell get a new deal as well. People forget that Boyata was injured, he wasn't dropped and would have went to the Euros with Belgium if he hadn't been injured. If we do spend on another CB this summer I expect it will be someone with a bit of pedigree that will immediately improve the squad.
People want to fill our squad with CL players but that's never going to happen and players like Boyata, McGregor, Henderson and even GMS if he can bulk up and find form are all more than capable at the domestic level and we need players like that when we're playing the amount of games we do.}

It's not a bad dept. at all Ed. I'd personally push Lustig slightly out of that equation. As in, yes he's an option there, but unless another RB is signed, that's his main position, providing he can stay fit. We could always sign a first choice RB mind, that would change things. I'd then not take up the option on Kolo, and put his wage (plus Ambrose's) towards that pedigree walk into the side CB you're on about. I'd sign O'Connell up too, but look to loan Ajer out again tbh. I look forward to seeing Ajer eventually as a regular for us. But because he came with that next big thing reputation (I believe lots of big clubs were looking at him but RD stole a march) unless he's definitely playing regularly, loan him out. New CB, Erik, Jozo, Boyata, O'Connell.

{Ed007's Note - It's a good position to be in and one of the best bits of business we done in the summer was keeping Simunovic.}

Couldn't believe we even allowed simo to speak to anyone, he looked quality under Rd, got good game time n played through an injury as most know, out for a while but what I saw of him felt he was class with big Erik alongside him.

As for boyata as Ed said he was going with Belgium as if u look at his form at that time, he was actually playing well, though u couldn't tell due to all the Rd haters finding fault with everything n constantly berating him among others.

As Ed and JimTim have already said we are strong in that department n with the players on board with the 24 hour athlete thinking, which they should already have been the last 2 seasons.

we should see many improve or at least everything is there to improve them but it's up to them if they want to be the best or just stay as they are, right building blocks in place can only benefit the club as a whole now n in the future.
