Saint Matty 76

van Dijk or Abdennour.

1) Not in the near future, because the English youth is quite simply not good enough in comparison to the foreign talent comign through. When a player does actually come through (Sterling, Shaw, Chambers...), you have to hideously inflated fees to buy them. 2) If we're going to progress, we honestly need to do it. I love having an English core and signing players like Forster/Bertrand, but if there isn't any reasonably priced options out there, what's the point. Whilst being commendable, it can't hold us back and we need to find a successful middle ground. Also, any updates on Toby?

For all we know Toby may still want to sign, hopefully he gets asked if he's spoken to him since the Tottenham interest came up.

We'll find out a lot today with Koeman's presser and he's had an interview with Adam Blackmore. He's normally reasonably open with this stuff.

He'll be the Chambers replacement as a back-up/EL right-back.

This is interesting, considering we're such a professional club usually I think it must have been a mistake.

Gueye to Villa isn't far off being confirmed, looks like we must want Clasie.

SSN saying our asking price is £30m apparently, seems more like it.

Would have no problem with him staying around and being part of the squad to be honest, especially for Europa games.

Who are you by the way?

Inter.

No, I wasn't assuming anything. It was down to injuries.

26 years old and only managed 30 league games once in his career, not saying he'd be an awful signing but we'd need Reed a lot more than we did this year by the looks of things. His last 5 years at Dortmund; 31 games 24 games 20 games 19 games 13 games

Liverpool Echo aren't reporting a deal agreed.

Sissoko would be a great replacement for Schneiderlin, played on the right for Newcastle mainly but plays that CM/CDM role for France really well.

18 in 35 in comparison to Pelle's 12 in 38. Austin in an absolutely dreadful team where chances are much more limited in comparison to Pelle who gets multiple opportunities per game. Also 4 years younger and over double the assists, it's pretty obvious.

Most useless loan spell since Iago Falque.

See ya later Filip, cheers for nothing.

Djuricic is awful, just a nothing player. Okay at everything not great at anything.

1-0 Liverpool COME ON

Austin is quite obviously a pretty big improvement on Pelle.

Tottenham STILL trying to give us 6th but we're too awful to take it.

Oh my god.

Have you even watched the goal? Can easily win the ball and just power puffs it into the guy who goes on to score.
