Liverpool are in talks with Preston to sign Ben Davies from Preston for £2m and deal looks increasingly set to happen. It's likely that Sepp van der Berg will go to Deepdale on loan, also.
Liverpool have now agreed a fee in the region of £2m with Preston for Ben Davies. Sepp van den Berg moving on loan. Paul joyce
Proper random that. Tbh I don’t see why he’d want to come. play for maybe 10 games until all our defenders return and given way Phillips and Hendo played at CB with Fabinho returning in a week can’t actually see him playing in first team. will no doubt be sold or loaned next season
Never seen him play but reading some scout reports - he’s quick, very good on the ball, and decent in 1v1 duels. Not good in the air though. I think we bring in one more who is more experienced and RCB
Sounds like we struggled to get any short term loan deals, hence cheap crap lower league player. Makes me think, is he any better than Phillips?
Errrrrrr, he will probably double his wages and get to play with world class players. Who wouldn't jump at it??? Andy lonergan left us with medals! This guy will go from midtable championship to playing in the cl. Who wouldn't DREAM of it. Its clear to me its a case of we are at the limit on the foreign players so have to get an English player. After that let's just see ourselves what he looks like before writing him off. I won't second guess anyway, cos I just don't know. What he does do is give a guy who can be 4th choice behind vvd at lcb which is not easy to find.
I think the main point is he plays left side so can allow someone play right side cb be it Phillips or whoever. He's meant to be at least able to pass it so who knows. We need henderson back to cm ASAP. Miller is already on borrowed time in there so we just have to hope we can improve as a result of this cheap shopping. (Though 2mil plus a loaned to a side that is losing the guy in the summer but is in no danger of threatening play offs nor relegation seems steep)
lonergan was 78 years old. Not 25 and in his prime and could be going to Celtic / Bournemouth and playing week in week out. he won’t really get to play with WC players because he won’t play unless Hendo Fabinho get another injury
No chance we start a prem or Cl game with him and Phillips at CB together. So question is, is he any better than Phillips who has been training with squad and system all season?
