OutByEaster? Posted July 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted July 29, 2022 The thing we do know is that she is prepared to arrange her career around his - she passed up on the Euros this summer so that she could go on holiday with him - if she's staying here for the year, then you can be pretty sure it's because he is.

I think it’s a bit unfair to dismiss that and say that she didn’t go because of a holiday with Doug. Her ex played for Switerland as well, it may have been a bad breakup and she didn’t want to be around her all summer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had a fantastic summer of parties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 i might be reading in to his words, but Gerrard said today in his interview: "the majority of our business is in place" (referring to Kamara, Carlos, Coutinho, Olsen etc). So hopefully that means we do have at least one more quality signing in the pipeline, or expect to make other moves in the market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Women footballers more often than not sign short term contracts, one or two years is the norm, so I wouldn't read too much into Luiz's situation based on the length of Alisha new deal. It might even be that that was all we offered her, she's a good player for where we are at the moment, but someone we will probably want to improve on, we've already got young players that will become better than her as footballers and we've signed other attackers this summer as well, if she was to leave tomorrow she wouldn't be going to one of the top clubs.

Gerrard has his favourites remember ! But on a serious note and back on topic. I reckon one more incoming midfielder. Outgoing expect Guilbert, Traore, AEG and maybe Sanson depending on if we get a new midfield in or not. If we’d used all 5 subs and Ash was on the pitch when we got an injury or a sending off for the goal keeper, I’d be very suspicious that you knew something none of the rest of us knew. Under those circumstances I’d be tempted to slap a few quid on at the bookies that he was about to go in goal! Which Far Eastern betting syndicate do you work for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burchy Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Hypothetically here but if we’re in agreement that the 7 players that are being shipped out/possibly upgraded on are…. ST Davis, LW/CAM El Ghazi, CM Chuk, RB Guilbert, RW/CAM Traore, CM Sanson CDM Nakamba Who we replacing them with? Guilbert’s replacement is KKH so that’s a given really but the others, who you got? Mine would be (priorities in bold)….. ST Patrick Schick, LW/RW/CAM Rayan Cherki, CM Konrad Laimer, CM/CDM Kephrem Thuram I would ideally like a pacey option wide left, similar to Bailey (Marcus Thuram) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sne Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Luiz signing a new contract would make me feel as positive as any realistic new signing would. Obviously I'd be delighted if we managed to make some unrealistic signing too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition for kamara is iroegbunam and nakamba, we need competition for mcginn and ramsey , they cannot start regularly for us to move forward.

Hmmm, I’m reading that as saying no major signings planned… just a few outgoings and maybe someone coming in IF a good opportunity presents itself.

RicRic Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I have a really strong feeling we will sign Konrad Laimer (RB Leipzig) for around £30 Million figure mark… id welcome him into the side i have seen stuff on YT and he can certainly improve us , hes about the 4th player down on my list for a new CM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few hours ago I read on here that he isn't signing a contract and he is leaving Villa next summer.
