El Scorchio - I think Cresswells move to Stoke was a decent one for a player of his age. Coufals move was also pretty good. Can't disagree with the rest though. Couple that with the fact that we generally sell our players at a loss just highlights how shit we are at recruitment and squad management...

I think picking him to play on Saturday was more a message for Areola. His days are numbered and he can find another club.
 

Right now, I'd take some sports washers - Newcastle style.  They have enough money to employ the right people in the top positions to make the right decisions.  Everything else then falls in to place.  Like Newcastle,  you wouldn't get instant or regular top 4 positions, but you'd be closer to the t...

1 - Liverpool
2- Chelsea
3 - Arsenal
4- Man City

18- Brentford
19- Burnley
20- Leeds

1-2.
Just because I refuse to start the season being negative, lets see how long that lasts!

Hermansen played the whole game with 2 keepers on the bench including Begovic who they signed a few days ago.

We've signed far worse players than KWP, for a lot more money and wages.

Whether he's a squad player or first choice, its not going to make or break our season. I would have been  happier if we could have included JWP as part of the deal and freed up some of his wages.
 

My brother joined in the late 1980s, he deserted after 6 months.

0-1.
Ever the optimist. 

I'm surprised at how much Liverpool have paid over the last year, considering how few signings they have made.
A quick google only showed a keeper (30m), who was loaned back to his club, and Chiesa (12m) plus a handful of youths.

I thought ours would be higher.

Reasonably confident, based on the last two results.
Wouldn't be too upset if we get the same line-up.
2-1 (as I can't see us keeping three clean sheets in a row).

10 Feb 2025 16:45:11Background, WH had talk with LIverpool re goalkeeper, Kelleher, the Keeper has intentions to leave end of June, as Liverpool have the Georgian G/K, coming into the squad, who was excellent at the Euros last year, WH have been informed they are one of five clubs to have made an e...

Feels like a 10th - 12th level squad. ​​​​​       I don't disagree on the whole, but surely Potters job is to make the squad greater than the sum of its parts? Something which I think he is very capable of doing.  Personally I think that Kudus will be sold in the summer to bring in new recruits in ...

I'd let Potter take a look at him, play him in a couple of pre-season friendlies, find out where his head is at, and if Potter thinks he can do a job for us then keep him. If not, sell him on before the summer window closes. As others have said, we need to make sure we've got enough money to strengt...

Brobbey seems good value at the moment a season where he's had a bit of a downturn in form lowering his price. A bit of a gamble that the downturn is temporary but at 22 a gamble worth taking in my opinion  He's a massive unit with a bit of pace and would give us some presence up the pitch which wo...

Do we know what the asking price is for Brobby?
If it's circa £25m I'd take the gamble. 

Our squad has plenty of players who had no premier league experience, and they've all served us pretty well.



 

I wouldn't mind Ferguson on loan, providing he's fit enough to play for the rest of the season. If he's not, it would just be another wasted opportunity to improve the squad.
Not sure I would want to sign him on a permanent due to his previous injury record and glass ankles.

Personally I think that every football fan should see their club relegated at least once in their lifetime, suffering is all part and parcel of it. It would put a lot of the current self-entitled whinging into perspective. Unfortunately Spurs won't go down this year, if ever. I hope they keep the au...

Thats possibly the laziest match report I've ever read.
1/10 - would not read again.

Can't see anything other than a comfortable Villa win, unless Potter can perform a miracle. 
Our attacking options are weak, and our defensive options are even weaker. 


 

Can't say I'm too bothered, but I know I'll be in the minority.
