    So an improvement on our below average CB performances this season?

    Totally get it from your point of view. Sort of a weird one from him though. Brighton given him chance in prem, got into first team and just getting to be a regular at CB with Dunk out injured. I guess he knows that dunk Webster are first choice 2, although in a back 3 he’s perfect LCB option. Be interesting see if he can perform in a team that play very different football atm

    If you were a footballer and got the chance to play for Liverpool in similar circumstances, wouldn't you be tempted? Supporting a club does tend to throw logic out of the window and let the heart take over - even if your logic is correct.

    Yeah absolutely. Like I say, he’s going back home, getting a big contract for 3/4 years? At his age it’ll be his last one so sets him up well.

    Can’t blame the guy, just be interesting in a years time if he’s suddenly 4th choice and being shipped out to some championship club if he’ll regret it? Or who knows, he steps up a level, becomes a very solid player for 2 or 3 years and helps get you up to European spots.

    Other possibility would be doing his coaching badges and setting himself up for a coaching role in the future.

    Burn is a solid signing. Better than what we have at the moment at the back, for sure. Not every signing will be Trippier and Guimaraes level

    He's better than what we have which is a start. A solid defender who's highly rated by bha fans.

    I make it we have now spent just over half of the £165M that we are allowed to spend this window without breaking FFP rules.

    34 hours: 22 mins to go................

    Over £80M spent so far in January. I'm so glad I was wrong with my 50M prediction... These guys are the real deal. I'm still overwhelmed by it all. Worth the 28 years of pain and near misses!

    Henderson has had one good season and im not convinced, but having him and Dubs would be great

    I think another cb will come plus maybe a loan or two.

    I think we've had our big present

    Tbf the cb could cost 30 ms plus.

    I just can't see a top striker coming which I feel we definitely need.

    Burn a Howe pick to add to Wood.

    They'll do for now but we need a bit more quality in the summer.. Im sure that'll come if we can stay up
