If we are to buy a striker it is not going to be the one that will go and play for AFCON in January 2026 . That would make Alexander Isak suitable expect for the price
Liverpool thunder towards sublime Guehi agreement with crucial next step inching closer Liverpool transfer news: Key agreement 'very close' for blockbuster upgrade signing
We'll never get a player that's twice as good as Kenny. I just thought 2x7 .... his name is synonymous with number 7 .... so let's go for it.
Hmm. I like him, but reports are that he's demanding a starting place. Unless we're offloading Ibou because he won't sign a new contract (sad, but understandable if we're getting rid for that scenario) then I can't see how he starts ahead of Konate. Presumably though, if we're letting Quansah go and strategically offloading Ibou, we have another CB as well as Guehi lined up, and hopefully a HG lad? Branthwaite would cause ****ing ruptions.
Even if we could offer a starting position, I wouldn't want us to give in to a demand like that. Every player must earn their spot in the side.
very much doubt he is "demanding" a guaranteed starting place . I would though naturally expect any incoming transfer prospect enquire what role the manager sees for him prior to any agreement .
Konate is always in and out so he’ll get his chance and will have to show he’s undroppable when it comes. If of course any of this is true (I hope it is as I rate him)
I do too, but £50m for a quite decent CB is a bit meh. Then again, we're paying an HG tax, I suppose.
We want to have over 60 games next season. Just saying. 1 community ****e gsme for the fa slush fund. 38 league games. There's i hope 8 cl league stage games then 2 last 16, 2 qf, 2 sf and 1 final. Thst 15 There's 7 in the fa cup. There's 6 in the league cup. That's 67 games. Obviously as you lose in a cup the games drop off but you'd like 60+ There's no way we can go play 60+ with just konate and vvd. We have gomez right now so if guehi wants to sign then sign. If he wants assurances then go to Chelsea. Chedlea have a 20% sell on for guehi so palace refused 70mil last year and are now in a 12 month left scenario but got the fa cup so they need to be sensible and do the best deal they can. Exactly the same scenario we are in with konate. We have to move him on this summer if we have any inkling he thinks like benedict Arnold. In any event guehi is a midget so.makes zero sense unless you try a 3 at the back Alisson Gomez vvd guehi Frimpong garvenberch macallister kerkez Salah wirtz gakpo This seems to be more for amorim than Slot but there you go I don't rate guehi much. He's bang average on the ball.and not tall enough.
I can't see the current captain of his side wanting to move to a club where he's not first choice. I hope we're trying for someone else.
I'm sure he was running the contract down and would be very happy to play in Europe for palace but he has no intent of signing another. Palace should be moving him on. But we will see. I'd much rather do put another 20 to it and go for zabarnyi but even he is not tall enough.
My favourite non lfc go to website is thisisanfield. Non-homegrown players (18): Alisson, Mamardashvili, Van Dijk, Konate, Robertson, Tsimikas, kerkez, MacAllister, Gravenberch, Wirtz, Szoboszlai, Endo, Salah, Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Chiesa, Gakpo Obviously 5 guys holding spots thet have zero value to slot so we will see movement there Homegrown players: (13) Mrozek, Davies, (due to go on loan to crawley) Gomez, 1 Frimpong, 2 Quansah, Bradley, 3 Phillips, Beck, Ramsay, Stephenson, Williams, Jones, 4 Elliott, (likely to be sold) Morton Obviously most of this list has.zero value to slot. He only needs 8 from this list. He will only have interest in 4 of them Notable U21s: Pecsi, Nyoni, McConnell, Danns, Koumas, Doak, Bajcetic, Chambers, Gordon Not a single one of these will get a game next season and several will be loaned or sold off.
one of Robertson or Tsimikas does have value to Slot since they will be back up / competing with Kerkez at LB
Yes, one. I marked both as I don't know which will go. Neither in truth would do much bar be carried through games in the prem at this point. If I make out the cup side at this point. Marmdashvilli Bradley gomez guehi? Robertson Endo jones ??? Szoboszlai Diaz Jota Midfield is piss weak but that's 5 of last year's first team at times. If we can get a 9 to replace nunez and think about how really to cover salah for the season it's going to be fun watching
Think too much been made of Robertson last year. He was no where near as bad as people made out. He had a couple of stinkers but prob hasn’t helped that he’s had no real competition for 5 years. He started 30 games for the title winners. Hes not a bad player and if he rotates he has a lot to offer.
