I’m pretty sure Alex Crook’s ‘sources’ are just random people on Twitter. He’s like a human news now.
Would be pretty stupid get a back up LB considering we already have 2 - would rather the money go on wages for RLC or someone in a position we actually need cover.
Even though he only ever seems to play LB for Utd, their fans regularly seem to say that he's actually a RB. (But comfortable enough to play LB too.) A back-up FB is hardly a priority for us. But I would be worried if we lost KWP to injury. So getting cover for him (whilst also providing further cover from Bertrand) doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.
Urgent telephone call to St Marys this evening at half time from Anfield when caller with a strong German accent said "Help! You guys have always managed to help us out when we are in the ****. Do you have any good players we can by urgently tomorrow. Ideally we would like Ings back".
I just said exactly the same on the PL thread! Would be an ideal purchase for them. £100 million for him and Carrillo?
Deadline day tomorrow then. We expecting a couple of loans or **** all? We still have loads of time for Jackson Irvine as he is a free transfer and we can sign those for another month or so
Fair play to him, at least he agreed to cancel it and go and play. Sure he got a big pay out, but he could easily have sat around draining wages
A good clear out this window, well done to our management, one good flair player loan tomorrow and I think we can celebrate a great summer
Yeah, agreed. I didn't understand it at first - as I didn't realise he was actually a RB playing on the wrong side - but as we know, Ralph doesn't trust Valery (and neither do I, tbf) and Williams has PL experience of playing full back and can cover on both flanks. Seems sensible enough as a loan.
I think we lack a bit of creativity in the middle. We aren’t going to sign another CM so a winger who can also drift inside and create more chances would be lovely. As previously mentioned, new signings can also bring out better performances from current players. As long as we get a better player than our last deadline day move (Danso).
