He had a nice holiday in Naples for 6 months and got a pitchside view for games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went to Napoli but that didn't work out too well. I don't think Gerrard rates him, if he did rate him I think he would have given him more of a chance at Villa. I would be very very surprised if we saw him back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are an evolving project and gains have to be looked at in a much broader way than just short term league position. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with that sentiment, I just don't believe we have seen enough of Gerrard to make the decision to go through the pain now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the few comments I’ve seen it was the usual we’re happy with what we’ve done but still keeping an eye on the market sort of vagueness that promises nothing.

He’s not going to say we actively looking at X player is he though? He did say the club will keep its defensive options open. He’s already been on record saying he wants a new number 8.

jacketspuds Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Just watching the “For The Love of Paul McGrath” podcast, where Duje Caleta—Car is bring discussed.
