Squad needs trimmed again and tbh quite a few are Rodgers signings that haven't worked out.

We have a ridiculous amount of midfielders. Of them I'd be punting Biton, Allan, Hayes and Christie(I like him but can't see it with Morgan signing and the emergence of Mikey Johnstone on top of Rogics inevitable replacement)

The defence, Tierney, apart, if we can get money I'd get rid of the lot and start a fresh. It aint going to happen but hey ho. I'd keep Lustig as back up to a better right back, Ralston may need another year to see if he can make the grade. I'm not including Hendry in the above, he looks no bad back up.

Strikers, it all depends on the possible sale of Dembele. Has his value increased, stagnated or gone down since last season? Turned it on against the huns recently but for a few months he's being doing ok, nothing special imo. Since coming back from his hamstring injury, he seems to have rested on his laurels. If Marseille/West Ham want him, I'd accept anything over 20m or 15m with a big sell on, knowing we will have funds to play with and make the squad better.

Goalkeeper, should be upgraded to someone who can fit the style Rodgers expects, Bain is decent enough back up if Gordon doesn't fancy playing 2nd fiddle.

Massive summer in between vital qualifiers, that will now be against tougher opposition. Letting the contract situation across the squad get to this stage is an error, that could and should have been avoided.

Edit - forgot to say, I'd sign Eddie in a heartbeat. BR says its less than the 7m, if so that's an easy decision.
Also,we won´t get anything near 15m for Dembele. We´ll be luck to get 10m.

I know our squad is a tad bloated, but losing 18 players and signing 5 seems a tad drastic :lol:
BR said his ideal squad would be around 23 players. So that seems about right.

It probably isn't. He said that when he first came in, but the demands of europe and competing for the cups means we need a bigger squad than most. There can't be many teams have played as many games as us this season. You need a big squad to do that.

On the ones most likely given form, family circs or time in contract

DDV - buttons

Gamboa - buttons
Jozo - not a great deal given need for medical
sviatchenko - 1m
Compper - big wages saving

Armstrong - 3-4m
Allan - as makeweight on Mcginn deal
Bitton - don't know how long left on contract - few million

sinclair - ?m
Roberts - big saving in wages
Ciftci - we live in hope
Dembele - 20-25m


and only on list cause signs are he and partner want to move on Rogic 10m plus even if last year

I hope we can keep rogic and would like to see roberts stay too and if they do we'd still have best part of 35m plus wages plus last years Cl and this years to strengthen

really big summer for us

Compper and Musonda will both be given at least preseason to prove themselves.

Gamboa and Svistencho cards are marked

Armstrong will go unless he signs contract.

Would be surprised if either Bitton or Sinclair leave. They are both highly regarded by BR. Bitton gives cover for both DM and CB.

Roberts is definitely someone BR would keep but it comes down to money.

Is the McGinn / Allan swap an itk post? Or just speculation on your part?

I'd take a punt on McGinn as I think he'd do a job in the SPFL for us and you sometimes need those players in order to rest the CL level players - and i don't think we're equipped to accomodate 23 CL level players.
