    Not very often they get done over mind, but that looks way too high. Think they are over compensating for spending nowt last summer.

    Not sure. Plus I think both of those in your team compared to 1 Wirtz offers significantly more value.

    Gotta be pretty naive really to think any player in the modern game really means it when they say things like "best fans in the world" or "love the club" (the only possible exception being boyhood fans like Dan Neil).

    Every player will say the exact same thing at every club they play for, it's just lip service. Imagine if one of them came out in the press like "it's alright here, fans are slightly above average but I've played in front of better" <laugh> they'd get crucified

    Maybe they think they owe Slot as he won the league with effectively no new players. Crazy price that.

    Maybe Diouf wouldn't be out of our range...

    There were actually respectable sources other than Alan btw.

    The FC Metz accountant reacted like Zizou. In England, 48 hours before the DNCG, 1 year before the end of Sabaly's contract... Bournemouth and Sunderland have already contacted Bernard.

    Would any take a punt on Issac Price? Bit of a similar history to Mundle with a weird detour to Liège and now been at WBA since Jan.

    Knocking them in for fun for NI (was watching Hume & Ballard) would defo be squad option only at this point but seems to have potential

    Not sure if this has already been mentioned, but it's the African Nations right over the festive period and in to mid January.

    Can we really be targeting African players in this window, knowing they will miss around 8 Premier league matches. I'm not sure we have that luxury for where we are now, and will need players available for the duration of the season bar injuries and suspensions.

    I really really wanted him in the championship, I'm not totally sure now.

    It's definitely something that has to be, and will be considered - but also does the positive impact they bring in 30 other games outweigh the negative of losing them for 7/8.

    This is a huge deal. Liverpool don't pay this kind of money for everyone. They've probably been watching him for 2/3 seasons and know exactly how they're going to build the team around him.

    We are going to have a right battle to stay up. Weakening ourselves for 8 games is suicide.

    I think they play Salah as the number 9 next season and go down the Ronaldo route of prolonging the career of a world class player.

    Frimpong will do enough running down the right anyway.

    We currently have nobody who represents an African nation, two or three would be manageable imo. Say we signed a left back like Diouf then Cirkin can play 7/8 games. As long as we bring in strength in depth.

    In the right places, I think it's fine. If we signed that left back for example, Cirkin is going to be cover during AFCON, then you have Alese, Huggins and Hume as emergency cover. I think you survive 6 games if he's a player for the next 3 or 4 years.
