    Don't know if I can in public. But if any one wants to know that badly just pm me. That's just say he isn't that well liked by a few people.

    I don't mind. Just don't want to post the info were any one can see it. Actually if I spoiler tag it no one of the site can see it right?

    I wasn't really meaning moving to another club. I was thinking retirement or....well....the other thing.

    Ah **** it.

    Reed has pissed off a lot of the academy and their parents. A certain ITK who is now working for a Prem cub that are a arse ( won't say his name so he doesn't get in trouble but it is obvious) and a few players relatives I have talked to have both told me this.

    He was one of the reasons Debayo left.

    Probably. Been told it's due to him "more then trying"to get the academy players to sign with his son. Who is a agent...

    You can't make an omelette without breaking eggs etc etc

    Can't say I'm desperately concerned, or even mildly concerned, but he has an ego. For sure. But then who doesn't.

    Yeah, it's why I view him as still good for us.

    Think we have discussed this before and both agreed to disagree!

    I love Tadic and he is our most creative player. I just really highly rate lallana!

    I rate both! But think Tadic just edges it. Shame we haven't got a few more players that can take the load of him.

    Okay, the bit about the academy kids I had assumed, but that's a conflict of interest and a half.

    Lallana has improved since he left us,,,,as most young players do as they mature. However, the most important point is that Tadic is with us and Lallana isn't. Would Tadic do better if he was supplying the Liverpool front line instead of ours. Who said that?

    Well he might do because [here we go again] we are a quality, in-form, fit striker short.

    What might be worthwhile is to list the players we brought in since the transition to the Premiership and whether they've made the consistently made the first team or not. For every VVD or Alberweireld, we've had a Juanmi or a Mayuka - not necessarily bad players, but they never quite made the first team on a consistent basis.
