That's a big blow. Isn't Mawson suspended as well? Might be a chance for Stephens to get a game.

That doesn't tend to happen often!

I've no idea why Liverpool haven't signed Bertrand already, TBH.

Agree with all that. I'd quite like a partner for Romeu, but we are probably assuming Hojbjerg will step up this season.

Agree. 1 good season & they are worth pretty much double. Don't see us having that much cash without selling anybody.

Marcos Llorente - Very good player by all accounts.

Gardos cover is not a position we should ever be looking for

Liverpool have watched him. Left back. 17m release clause, apparently.

I didn't think £25m for Bertrand would be bettered in the laughable stakes today... http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/25/report-southampton-defender-cedric-soares-wanted-by-juventus-15m/

I know. Imagine supporting a team where you have your existing squad, and you just add 3 or 4 to improve it. Wouldn't that be lovely?

PALACE TO GO FOR IHEANACHO Crystal Palace will look to back boss Frank De Boer with big money if the Dutchman agrees to take over at Selhurst Park. According to the Daily Mirror, Palace are set to confirm De Boer “within days” and will sanction a move for Manchester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho. West Ham and Leicester have also been linked with the Nigeria international.

Who's better?

He's had an utter 'mare really hasn't he? I half expected City to sign Rose & Poch sign him as his replacement.

Yeah, I'd rest a little easier if it wasn't quite as much cash. What the heck is happening with Gardos? On the plus side, Semedo didn't look all that great when I saw him play either. #BlackBoxMalware

Now you've done it - I got battered on here for comparing the 2 scenario's of loan moves aiding development of young strikers.

If he wasn't too expensive he would be ideal & fit our recruitment when it's at it's best - Young, talented & being looked at by the big clubs, but seemingly none of them think he's ready yet.

Master plan by us for him to have a shocker in the tournament.

Isn't Tierney in the £30m bracket now himself?

I liked him. The key question - How does he get on with Les?

The only way I'd remotely support us not signing a replacement is if every penny goes into signing somebody like Sigurdsson.

:D

That would a hell of an ask for McQueen & Targett to step up.

Norwich set asking price at £12m, apparently.
