Jas, he's dogs**t now haven't you heard?

He's been written off on here based on people seeing his poor performances for an abysmal Italian side. 

It's over, your stats mean nothing.

I'd rather Felix over Chiesa

Chiesa would be a much bigger gamble, considering the amount of injuries he has had

[Adbo9]

whats the ruling on champions league squads?

Is it still 4 "club trained" players - so i can only see ramsey qualifying - unless we keep Archer thats 2 - which means were 2 short, so can only name a 23 man squad - or 21 players apart from ramsey and archer............. 

If thats the case, i reckon itll be a big sales job on before we bring people in

Well Villa i'm waiting...

Correct.

We have so much deadwood that needs shifting.

Chambers, Dendoncker, Olsen, Hause e.t.c.

If we get more than 5m for all of those i'll be surprised.

Not surprised given he's on 80k a week. What a eye wateringly daft contract.

I think we will use a keeper as well.  Giving Gauci a loan at a decent Championship club and have Sinasolo as third keeper might work.  It's very quiet regarding Olsen, I think he may end up staying.  We will struggle to get a fourth unless we bring back a certain player on loan

[PeterSw]

KKH is there too as a home-grown option - if he isn't loaned out. 

Fully expect a young GK to be named in CL squad to make up numbers

You can't sell if you don't have a buyer and this is all our own fault.

It is, but every club has a handful of these players. 

[Keyblade]

Felix and Chiesa would be overkill. So far as attackers go we have Ramsey, Rogers, Buendia, Diaby, Bailey as well as McGinn who regularly plays all across the front. We need a striker before a player in any of the positions behind him.

And then if you don't have the players that tick the box you have to leave blank spaces 

So if it's a 23 man squad and we're 2 short we can only name 21 players, the blank spaces are classed as club trained 

[paul514]

Felix over Chiesa any day.

You do however have to sell someone to fit one of them in.

lets not forget that Donk was a Lange signing.

I saw an interview with Gerrard where he said it was a last minute thing that lange put forward.

I dont like Gerrard, but lets be fair when it clearly wasnt a Gerrard signing.

[Mazrim]

Sticking my neck out here. Dendoncker isn't a bad player.
Obviously I wish he wasn't on a massive contract and if he's not going to play at all its best he's gone. But I've never thought of him as useless at all.
