To be honest, given how highly you seem to rate all of our players, I'm surprised you're not disappointed we're not in the Top 4. You've already told me to make no mistake, and I'm not disagreeing with you. But I'm also sure that Man Utd wouldn't be playing him either if he was in their squad, even if he is a generational talent at 16 like Rooney. Yes, I am serious It wasn’t long ago that we were languishing in The Championship. We have come a long way in a short space of time We’re a long way from the top 4, the top 4 have spent billions over decades Feeney is special, make no mistake, we can let Hause leave and Feeney can take his spot in the squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, make no mistake, Gerrard has not come here to keep us in mid-table. I'm going to leave this here now as it's moving away from January transfers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we sold him, it would send out a bad message to the rest of the squad I don’t think he is good enough and we could buy better for the money we would receive for him.

I disagree, I think he is good enough but I don’t know what the manager or board’s aims are Who could we buy that is better than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think Chukwuemeka will be ahead of him. We can't stockpile players and need to free up wages. In terms of Feeney, I think we would be taking a big risk to play a 16-year old, with little to no experience outside of youth football, at CB. I’m happy for a very highly rated 16 year old to be 4th choice, not third 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m ducking out of this thread I'd rather buy the 25 best players in the world and keep them all but reality bites and you have to cut your cloth to buy more points. I believe if we sold Mings, and brought another defender with the money we would get more points. If you have to sell mings to get the cash to do that then you do that.

villalad21 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 So it's looking like Coutinho is happening. Alright then, the main question. Can he play DM? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
