I suspect/hope this will mean Johnson is shipped out. I don't rate any of our fullbacks bar Flanagan, so bringing two hopefully decent young full backs is good news. LB has been a gaping hole for a long while now.
TWO NEW FULL-BACKS!

Heh. And I think he looked a bit shit in the 2 pre-season games against Brondby and PNE. I suppose he's here to provide some cover / challenge in the U-21s, given he's Inglethorpe's ex-student.
After watching City game, we needed fullbacks so badly...i dont know how to express it, i ll just leave it to 'badly'.
So not surprised that immediately after City's game, we finally agreed to pay 20m up front for Moreno

sorry but I think you guys also forgot about Coates (23)
I think he has no chance of making it with us.
It'll be interesting to see who's right!
I agree. Has never had the technical ability to make it as a winger. He might have made a decent striker as he's got that scoring knack, but I think it's probably too late to develop him there - there'll be others coming through close behind him who he'll never be as good as like Sinclair and Canos.
Not to mention that Origi is actually the same age as him too.
I think Peterson has just this window of one year to prove himself, before Origi arrives and Sinclair and Canos are another year closer to the first team. While he isn't an outstanding winger, he has two things which IMO put him above Borini in terms of potential: good pace and decent dribbling. Let's see what football intelligence and hard work can make of him in one year.
The problem is, that day was probably more than 1.5 seasons ago. I can't really remember the last time Johnson had a game when I didn't sigh in exasperation at least once. Maybe December 2012?
As a striker, I think the strongest competitor right now in the U-21s for Peterson is Dunn. The window you talked about actually applies more to Dunn than Peterson IMO, as at 20, he really should be starting to get loan-outs or pushing for a place in cup games. I like him a lot but somehow he hasn't had the break he needed under Rodgers to demonstrate if he's good enough for us. If he still doesn't get a chance soon and do well with it, I think he'll probably end up being released. Which would be a pity, as he's someone who came through looking like a very good CM, but whose versatility meant he had had to play elsewhere to help the team, being used to plug gaps for the U18s and U21s in the past couple of years, ending up playing as a striker last season.
You'd be more right, I've seen little of him probably by comparison, I've just been impressed on the few times I have.

surely this mo-fo has to play a big part this season !
I'd rather keep the cash.
Given the 3 munters in close proximity - it's probably shrivelled back up inside him.
Moreno looks absolutely shite from the clips available on him. Why bother?
Based on this Enrique will be first choice lb/wb this season

I am very sceptical to these two players. If CL quality Atletico would hang on to him themselves, and not loan him out for two seasons.
Great stuff. Nothing's gonna stop us now.
