Liverpool, like Saints, will have at least 50 games next season, there's plenty of time for everyone to get plenty of playing time. Football has become a squad game and if you don't have reasonable cover for every position you get wild dips in form.

Who's being dismissive, I keep hearing that we have some fantastic players in the academy, I'm just waiting for one of them to step up, play 25 or 30 games at 80 minutes + and not be sold the summer afterwards.

Never mind,don't we have some fantastic players in the academy who'll step up and see us through, then again I remember hearing that a couple of times already, in 2008 notably.

plus they've got a few other Belgians, do Belgians have a herd mentality, don't remember it in Wallonia but perhaps in Flanders they do, the dutch certainly like to hang out amongst themselves.

Morgan will replace him in the French XI anyway because Cabaye is on the slippery slope in the role that Deschamps insists on giving him, ie sentry in front of the defence, Pogba and Kondogbia could do it but Deschamps considers them too impetous and prone to absent mindedness or gung-ho charging forward, he keeps saying that they both have to improve on that sector of their game.

And even then it would depend if Reed actually controls the purse strings. He may want to sign the player but isn't permitted to agree to the amount in question.

Perhaps but as Toby has always said it's up to Atletico Madrid, perhaps they're just hacked off at having to pay us an extra 2 million euros in the first place, perhaps they've been subsidising Toby's salary for the past 11 months, we know nothing except that that he says.

Occult meaning hidden or dark.....they're still under investigation as far as I know, they were all hauled up before investigating magistrates a while back.

Odd transfers are one of Wenger's foibles. There have been a few, like Miyaichi and Squillaci. In fact he seems to go for players with the Ch sound in their name.....

Ah well, bullsh*tting is so widely spread now that it purports to almost anything. There only used to be 2 main reasons for it, getting someone to lend you money or get a chance at sha@gging some poor girl who was probably out of your league. Nowadays it's just a popular pastime because you've nothing else to do.

But if they could all move to say Ostend or the Hook to try their luck that would be extremely handy. We've half of our army on street corners watching out for terrorists as it is already.

Now I know it's all to do with flux and all that but these odds do really surprise me. To me, being the ultimate cynic, I think that this is just a rumour that we've allowed to be put about to gee up potential buyers. Players are back next week and we need to be getting our next season's squad sorted and we can't do that until Morgan is gone.

Would about 60 million French count?

Not for any of the "targets" that I've read about on this very forum, the pole won't sign because we're beneath him and we won't pay any more than 13 million for either Gueye or Clasie, perhaps there's someone else that I missed. If we should break our transfer record I expect it will be for Toby, then again you'd have to factor in the 2 million € that they have to give us first.

Wasn't that Tim ? Could be both I suppose, not taken much notice of either of them.

Especially when they're still offering 2-1 on a "done deal" in the case of Skybet. A couple of hours after this bomb of information you could still get 4s.

ah yes 10sport, wasn't that the bunch of clowns who were putting it about last summer that KL wanted to sell, nay was desperate to sell and a firesale was the order of the day. Do not take any notice of anything they print, it's all bolloaks and agent hype.

As you like, for me anything out of Marseille is on a par with Portsmouth. Don't forget how they blew the championship last season. That was about player mentality.

It's not a French problem at all, it's a Schengen problem, once they're in the Schengen space there are no controls until they try to get out of it and into Britain. Thanks to the catastrophic gouvernance of Hollande and his loony left acolytes we now have 3.55 million people totally unemployed and another 2 million on very reduced hours. All of this because the loony left insist on letting people for whom we have no solution stay in the country and refuse to close the borders. Sarko threw a load out and Brussels came down on him like a ton of bricks. Just wait and see what happens when the Front get elected.

Not necessarily, perhaps the contract being offered isn't very good and he thinks we can do better. Doesn't mean he doesn't want to be here at all, just that we might be taking the p*ss on terms.

And is now refusing to return there because they have no plan, no direction, no project. Since Dreyfuss died they have become a one ringed circus and it affects players. Couple this with continual investigations into tax fraud, occult payments on player transfers and agents fees and you doubt anything that comes from there.

As I said it's a personal opinion, Marseille is an awful place and I'd not recommend any OM player to anyone, we'll see how West Ham get on with Payet.

There is a strange sort of mentality in the place, the OM is a complete shambles and it seems to rub off onto their players. You never know what state of mind you're buying into with an ex OM player. Look at Gignac...signed for some Mexican outfit ffs, what respectable european footballer in their right mind would do that for a few quid more. Valbuena took the roubles from Dynamo Moscow because they were the highest bidder and now regrets it because they've been chucked out of Europe for continual FFP abuses, to get a 4 year ban it must be serious. There is something rotten in the kingdom of marseille.

Trouble is Imbula is actually French....comes from the Congo via Belgium or something. Personally I'd not sign anything that's ever been anywhere near Marseille.

Did you hear that from an independant source or does it come from the bloke who writes in the Sun on Twitter ? If there's any substance to the rumour then the bookies are just asking to be shafted, except Unibet who suddenly made the move to Arsenal odds on yesterday in the late afternoon.
