For those reasons I wonder if RK wouldn't mind seeing them out of the door, whilst of course making the approporiate noises about the club trying to keep them etc, then bringing in players he believes are better disciplined and he can rely on.

Ronald

you forgot 'the pensioners'.

Sign him up to extend his contract, with the promise he can join RK at Barcelona in a few years.* Sorted. *for £60m

Do wonder if we'll witness a 'Clough to Leeds' situation unfolding. Hope so

Some of these names are constantly linked, Ziyech for example, and other were mooted last summer, Praet and Hiljdemark. Janssen from the little I've seen and read looks more of a goalscorer - in the Austin mould - than a replacement for Pelle who has become more of a target man. Of the names mentioned Dost appears the closest to a direct Pelle replacement. I'd give Redmond (two relegations is that now in three years?) a miss, and never convinced by Townsend. Neiether up to Manes standard. Wanyama ? MS won't come back. So no idea who that leaves, someone we';ve never heard of perhaps (although the link to the Denis Zakaria bloke looked as if his 'job description' matched up, although only 19 and unproven). Praet linked in a few places now, anyone any knowledge of him ? (Youtube clips aside). Personally, I'd like to bring in a couple of young up and coming players from the Championship, Hughes at Derby,Cook at Leeds. And bring AOC back. Almost pointless discussing it though as our recruitment phase will probably change direction again once Zlatan signs and we've raised our profile in the market. VW et al will be begiing to stay.

Are you a speechwriter for David Cameron ? If not you should be. He'd love this scare factor to touch a chord with the ordinary bloke.

RK might fancy chancing it with Depay, but I expect he'll be looking for stupid money. No real knowkledge of Son so can't comment, but the Morgan suggestion is fanciful in the extreme. If Mourinho turfs him out I'd expect Poch to be at the front of the queue.

With Leicester in the CL next year there's every likelihood that he'll get game time as they look to rotate the squad a bit more.

No doubt he's happy here, but would he be able to resist the lure of Anfield ? Klopp,Kop, tradition, most special fans with their terrace wit, (second only to the bestest), YNWA making your spine tingle every game, and of course those special European nights. All of which adds up to ££££

I wasn't the one suggesting the squad was fine without them. I was replying to the post from Nolan showing a depleted squad and saying "I don't see an issue"

Black Box didn't really cover itself with glory last summer though did it ? (with exception of VVD).

I certainly see a few "issues" there tbh. RB needs improving, CB cover is possibly weak with Yoshida and a largely untried Gardos returning from injury. MF is too weak by far. Two of your strikers are unknown quantities in terms of fitness. Apart from that, and the need for a bit of pace, no problems.

So bloody obvious that they won't think of it !!

Agree, what a c^nt, happy to do his stupid dance in front of the camera when he scores but doesn't want to be filmed after a defeat. Makes you laugh really.

Excellent viewing. Great to see some of the favourites on there again, Jaidi, Billy Sharp for example, two players who contributed greatly in short periods with us.

That groupof players won't be together much longer though, Klopp will shift many of them, Nivea and Lolvren amongst the early exits I should think

Let's hope it doesn't ! Not mocking your technical skills, but the design is a no from me.

Didn't bother watching the match, but 1-0 down at HT, coming back to win 3-1,does must count as "one of those really special European nights..." that the commentators always carp on about where Liverpool are concerned ?

Thought the allocation was 10,000 each. Not to say of course that the scousers have managed to obtain tickets through other channels, and locally on the night.

Looks Arsenal to me..

Depends if you want two qualifying rounds of Europa League or to go straight into the group stage.

Yes, only Pardew missing from the Liebherr era. KD also had the following managers, Burley, Pearson, Poortvliet, and Wotte. May have forgotten someone (SCW ???) Perhaps Burley was there, just slumped under a table.
