Neither did Ralph towards the end of his time here. Maybe the issue is with Stu

It was obvious when he signed that he would get very little game time. He'll be out on loan in the next year and then permanently sold within 2. He was superb for Fulham last year but Liverpool was a leap too soon

Vitinha benched by Braga tonight against Benfica. The other two forwards have just scored so maybe they might look to cash in on him. Also I see Fabio Carvalho on the bench for Liverpool tonight. But with Gakpo arriving, Jota and Diaz returning from injury eventually, plus Nunez, Salah, Firmino, Elliott, Bajcetic and the Ox all seemigly preferred ahead of him, perhaps a sneaky loan bid?

Has a 7 year old wrote that or is it just a terrible translation. Air cannons, far pole and theres a risk that Moffi could put on weight were my favourite bits

The last ex-player nostaligia signing worked out well for us. Ox is a much better player than Walcott at this stage, but we'd be lucky to get 10-15 games out of him a season with his injury history

I dont think 3 signings would be enough. 4 is what I think is likely needed. A message needs to be sent to the current squad that they're not doing the business and will be replaced. I would target a CF, an AM, a winger and a DM. CF - Moussa Dembele (Lyon) - very good scoring record and out of contract in the summer. If Dembele is too unrealistic then Vitinha (Braga) as an alternative. Top scorer in this season's Europa League to date AM - Jesper Karlsson (AZ) - was only second to Tadic in assists in the Eredivisie last season. Regularly gets on the scoresheet and is an excellent free kick alternative to JWP. Winger - Benjamin Bourigeaud (Rennes) - tricky winger and will be 29 next month so will bring some much needed experience. DM - Rani Khedira (Union Berlin) - big physical presence but great on the ball too I would also look to bring back Nathan Tella. Direct and full of confidence right now. We desperately need goals and creativity. These players would certainly bring that

His heads been turned already

Not sure the Athletic article actually tells us anything groundbreaking. Im not sure who Tanswell's contacts within the club are, but when asked they've likely told him that the club are considering all options for the window including recalling those on loan. It's normal for a new manager to want to look at the entirety of the squad. They've obviously enquired with the loan clubs to get their views on whether it would be feasible should we want to take up the option. Whether we do so remains to be seen

DCC, ABK and Salisu have all played multiple seasons in a top league. Not sure how to quantify what experience we actually need, but Bednarek or Stephens are not the answer

Did indeed

Lopetegui had 6 weeks to work with his squad. He chose not to manage their last game before the break (vs Arsenal)

3. Any harder questions

Vitinha, Jesper Karlsson and Naby Keita. Hopefully its enough

Yep thats exactly why he signed. Nothing to do with the fact that his salary has probably been doubled

Injuries permitting.... McCarthy KWP ABK DCC Perraud Lavia JWP Aribo Armstrong Edozie Adams On paper that is a decent side, but obviously void of confidence. We need as much creativity on the pitch as possible and to me thats the best front 4 we've got. Also need to deal with the threat posed by Mitrovic. Perhaps Lyanco wouldnt be so bad in this game, could end up with both being sent off 😂. ABK and DCC for me. We badly need to start grinding out results, even if its ugly, and obviously stop making defensive mistakes. Going with 1-1, but will likely be another 3-1 loss.

Maybe early in his tenure. The last year or so some of his interviews were just delusional. We always seemed to be hard done by or really unlucky, when in reality we were outplayed and deserving of nothing. Jones is new in the job so he cant be laying into the players already. He has also talked about the importance of man management so we'll be getting plenty of watered down interviews

https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/statistik/endendevertraege Some decent names on there with their contracts expiring in the summer. Should go all out for Benzema, Depay, Kroos and Gundogan 😂😂 A CB we've been previously linked with is on there - Evan N'Dicka. Maybe we could be moving Salisu and/or Lyanco on. Previous links Moussa Dembele, Ryan Kent and Ben Brereton also on there

Lingard injured. Hammy it seems. We need all the help we can get

Just seen that Naby Keita is out of contract in the summer and will be available at a cut price. If there is any substance to the Lavia rumours then I wouldnt be adverse to selling him for 30m+ if (big if) we could bring in Keita for less than 10m and give us funds to strengthen elsewhere. As much a talent that Lavia is, his injury record for a kid is pretty poor. Keita has had his injury issues but would bring much needed experience. The problem is, would he want to come to a team bottom of the league. Could maybe do a 6 month loan

The Forest game already looking huge. They look every bit as uninterested/disorganised as we do

He has definitely upped his game since Fulhams last PL stint where he looked lost. In fact quite a few of Fulhams players have been revitalised. Silva doing a fantastic job there

Bring Tella back. Bednarek can do one

The only way we would be in for a new CB or recalling Bednarek is if we're planning on shipping one or two out. Salisu still not signed that new contract... Not our priority right now 🤦🏽‍♂️

Couldnt agree more 👍🏻

Revenue, capacity? Forgot they win you games of football. I'm sure the likes of Sunderland, Sheff Utd, Birmingham etc thought they would be safe because of their big support. Fact of the matter is the recruitment and the coaching of the players has been poor for a while now which is why we are where we are. Clubs like Brighton, Palace, Brentford etc with much less capacity, revenue etc are light years ahead of us right now in those depts
