You know takeover talk is picking up when Morph posts!

Yes please.

Bad thing IMO

Indeed. All we be very much forgiven if we can beat Inter.

Telegraph sport had nothing to do with the sting as far as I know.

We know Liverpool love Bertrand.

This might be his "Villa" game for them

Le Tiss says it was a brilliant goal.

Liverpool - already?! https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/2074676/sam-mcqueen-to-liverpool-reds-to-battle-leicester-for-southampton-defender-after-impressive-string-of-performances/

Who's up front now? Olomola & Isgrove?

--------------McCarthy------------ Stephens Yoshida Fonte McQueen ----------------Reed ------------JWP---Højbjerg ---------------Boufal --------Rodriguez Isgrove

He's English though, so probably valued at £200m.

We offered him a new contract apparently, but he looked elsewhere. Good for young Jake Vokins, I suppose.

The goal of our academy to get them into the 1st team IMO. The team was weaker tonight because 5 or 6 are likely to be involved with the 1st team on Wednesday. I think we've got our priorities right.

0-3

Exactly. Agents don't get money by players staying where they are.

Gardos with a decent finish for the 3rd

Thanks chaps.

3 at the back tonight? Or is Gardos in midfield?

Yeah, I see no reason why Claude won't look to make sweeping changes for this one again. Similar midfield to the last cup tie, IMO. Perhaps Boufal at No.10 or further up.

physioroom.com lists the following as being out for them: - Mannone - Denayer - Kirchhoff - Cattermole - Larsson - Januzaj - Borini

Craig Maskell

There's certainly a noticeable difference in the 5 / 6 year contracts being dished ou t- I'm assuming the TV deal helps us out with this. Those 4 year deals did stitch us up in the past as even if you keep hold of them for that 3rd year, you get pittance for them when they go in the final year. Lets hope Virgil does stay an extra year - I've no doubt EVERYONE will want him.

He's got 6 months left on his contract in January.
