Yet we haven’t a clue what they will be, so exciting times await as thing’s start to unfold clearer. Signs already that there is going to be an increase in squad numbers, yet no indication yet of what our CL squad could possibly look like yet, as still believe there will be a number of changes to ones that we could pick currently. Players who were thinking of moving on, might be having a rethink now, or there minds may well be already made up? Thing’s will start to become clearer when players start reporting back for pre season and the actual international transfer market opens up next week.
We always faced a summer of decision making as a club, and only change is the person making them decisions. That landscape has been in place for such a long time now, and very little chance of it changing anytime soon, even if a change of scenery in another league would be welcome imo. That may well be the case, yet for most there career highlights remain mainly with the success they enjoyed while wearing our famous colours. We also can’t compete against the EPL which is still regarded as the strongest league worldwide, so for many players getting that opportunity to play within it, means getting to the top of the ladder within there career. We could of course increase our wage structure to combat it, but wouldn’t be the cleverest move by the club and highly unlikely also. This team, this club, will be stronger when the window closes than it is right now … I genuinely believe that.Īs a club there is nothing that can be done if players want to move on with bigger wages on offer elsewhere. No departure will be the end of the world. If our village burns down, rest assured the insurance settlement will more than pay for a new one, and perhaps one which makes what we’ve lost look humble. We have a list of targets, and a list of replacements. So players – top players, players we’ve come to respect and even love in the past two years – are going to depart for pastures new and it is not just a small consolation that we’re likely to reap huge profits from their sales, it’s the whole point of the exercise. You cannot look at the makeup of the team right now and just the names we’re linked with and not see that some folk have to go. The next team is being built before our eyes, and part of that will be players in the current squad moving on. Ange Postecoglou won us five out of the next six trophies, and we were told that the minute he was gone the whole club would fall apart. Still, we surveyed the damage and found that worst coming to worst wasn’t as painful or as searing as we had feared.
That Edouard and Ajer and Brown going was the end of the world. That losing Howe was the end of the world. We were then told that losing the league was the end of the world. What happened? We won another two trebles. Then losing Rodgers was the end of the world. Then it was losing Tierney was the end of the world. With Brendan Rodgers at the helm, with his seven trophies out of seven, we’re in a better place than we’ve been in a long time … and so what are we worried about?Īll the way through the first two years of the Quadruple Treble we were told that losing Dembele would be the end of the world. How many of us still care about ten in a row? Two years on the Ange Express reminded us of what our club was about, and the supremacy we’ve all been enjoying this past decade.
