It’s a conundrum.
Luka and Jairo, as far as we can see, show no sign of wanting to leave despite not being in the first team picture.
This inevitably has an impact on our wage budget as they can’t be forced out.
Luka looks way off the pace and I think those who still include him in our first choice lineup are doing so for reasons of nostalgia as opposed to form and fitness.
What interests me are the areas Vieira wants to strengthen as he has made a few references in recent weeks of the need for extra players without specifying which positions.
For me the critical position remains an additional midfield player who can immediately make an impact in the first team.
In a way it would have been preferable if it was clear at the end of the season that Gallagher was definitely staying at Chelsea.
This ‘will he/won’t he ‘ seems to have compromised our transfer policy.

SSN just confirmed we are interested in the player. Leicester purchased him last season but he has not featured.
Just reiterating what was said.

In dog beers I’ve only had one.

Apparently, Rodgers prefers to use Dewsbury-Hall so Soumaré's star started to wane once the young D-H's began to shine in the second half of last season.

Age aside Is he an upgrade on Kouyate?

This made me laugh, thank you Willo. I agree with you wholeheartedly.

Why would he want to come here as a squad member if that is what he is currently
