S-Platt Posted November 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted November 11, 2019 Anyone mentioned Zlatan on a free? Could teach Wes a thing or 2 and be the man to keep us up! I will get my tin hat on now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 (edited) Wonder how much money Liverpool will throw at Ryan Fraser, what role they are offering him and if they will wait until the summer to sign him or if they will try in January. Obviously we can't compete if they really want him, but would be a very interesting signing for us. In general I can't remember a season where so many top quality players are sitting on expiring contracts. Granted many of them are getting on a bit but wow.

No doubt the media will tell everyone that it was £0.5m so that they can continue the narrative that Liverpool (Klopp) hasn’t spent any money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been linked to a few clubs in Europe but he still has most of his business interests in the US so he may still remain there. He recently sold his flat in Milan, not that this really means anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange signing as they have a lot of options at the top end of the pitch. Salah, Mane, Origi, Shaqiri, Firmino. I wonder if they'll be letting Origi or Shaqiri leave?

James Pearce, the guy covering Plop for The Athletic is claiming it is nothing in it. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He also would not move his family to Birmingham. Manchester was a one off because he wanted to prove himself and his doubters that he could do it in England but generally it has to be a big "hip" city where Helena and his kids can live and enjoy. Not sure Birmingham can offer this and commuting from London might be a bit much, even if we give him a helicopter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know lots of sports media have been raving about Leicester's scouting but we also made a few boners along the way & it's looking like Iheanacho might be one of them. strikers in general, vardy is an obvious exception, you can argue Ulloa and okazaki served a purpose but after that you've spent almost £130m on perez, ghezzal, Iheanacho, slimani and musa, that's mental money Rodgers did sign dembele and Edouard for celtic so who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bile and hatred LFC fans have for their own players is astounding - particularly Henderson and Lallana. It was far worse than any other team's twitter feed I've followed. It was far worse than anything Villa fans had for their own side in our relegation season. I'd hate to see it if they actually lost a game....

TRO Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I hope we sign some players with some battling qualities.....players, who can give you something when the chips are down. Its all very well having moments in a game and flashes of talent, sure we all love that.....but We want/Need 90 minuters who can help you stay in a game and grind down the opposition.

Definitely agree our midfield gets exhausted and run off the pitch by 60 minutes especially mcginn. I also think we need to look at a 6'0+ midfielder who can win aerial balls and bully lads.
