    ....but reports are saying Liverpool are favourites to sign Vorm.... really? After the season he's just had would he be an improvement on Mignolet ?

    Don't care how much he loves him, if a club like Liverpool comes knocking he'd be a fool to turn them down.
    If he leaves it has nothing to do with who is our manager.

    Because it's an opportunity to play for one of the biggest teams in the world. Only an idiot would turn down that sirt of opportunity roof.

    Valley I think you are right, most people would be mad to turn down a big club like Liverpool. But some of these moves can be the graveyard of ambition. Especially for a goalkeeper. He is not better than Mignolet. I fear he will do a De Vries and spend a season sitting on the bench or playinging in the Carling Cup or hoping for an injury to Mignolet. I just dont see this as a good move for him. Unless it is for the money as Sinclair did.
    If he was an outfield player there is more of a chance of getting football. He could actually go there and play no football whatsoever. That surely wouldnt be a good career move.

    No thanks, I'd sooner Colback who's always come across as a grafter. I guess he needs to work really hard so people see past his gingerness...

    I watched him Monday night v Wales , he put a shift in but with little end product .He was booed constantly which is ironic considering his latest comments in wanting to join us .He's damaged goods now thanks to poor advice imo

    I think you are right. If he signed for us would obviously want him to progress and do weel. However as we all know there will be a lot who will want him to fail and will be straight on his back as soon as he does anything wrong.

    Didnt HJ say that we would only going to sign players that would improve the team not the squad. Do any of these actually improve our starting team. Whilst Williams looks a great prospect and would like him here. None of these would be in a starting 11 would they.

    If Derby don't come up I'd like us to get in Will Hughes though I reckon a few will be after him.
