Another con lib government then. Well, they didnt do too badly I suppose. I welcome it

have you been hiding in my wardrobe again ?

I feel the same, a deeply liberal seat, and tbh I think usually they manage the area quite well however Im completely opposed to the building plans. Not that I think a vote in either other direction is going to matter one iota but if I dont vote I may aswell complaign to a brick wall

No idea, but Im pretty sure you cant both enjoy MOTD like that

Now, me and Adrian have had a few ding dongs in the past but I really dont see the point in what you have posted here tbh. Sorry to tell you that you've gone and wasted you're time again. Lovren was a excellent excellent CB for us, he really was and many of us feared him leaving as it didnt seem likely that he would be so easily replaced. Nobody could guess the complete capitulation in form he was going to have at Liverpool either. Now, Lovren, early season last year was performing as arguably one of the best CBs in the league, he definately tailed off towards the end but was still very good. Alderweireld however, IMO, is the best CB I have ever seen in a saints shirt, his athleticism, positioning, strength and ability on the ball is far far better than Ive seen. He really is quality. Agreed that two of the 'arguably' best 3 DMs in the prem infront of our defence, and now what seems like a very competant (yet on here much maligned) goalkeeper behind them probably makes their job easier. So no, I dont see what he has got wrong here at all

Better than golden tbh

I must admit, I love the bloke but can never figure out if its slow motion or not when he dives... Seriously

That looks like a relatively attractive katie hopkins... No thanks

Lets test Derbys resolve over little hughes, absolutely top top little player ready made for the red n white

They're definately better than nuns

Its like when I tell the missus 'I probably wont go to the pub babe' It keeps my options open, makes it look like there is a chance Ill be home from football at a reasonable time, allows me to look good if there isnt an option to go to the pub, but all in all Ill probably still go to the pub

I couldnt have any less idea what you're on about

Yes.... But on what Lou ? Is that a large cable tie she is holding ? Is this some sort of 50 shades of texas ?

Just started watching it, I had it recorded Genuinely not surprised with that Madrid midfield, Ive said it time and time again. Success on a pitch is down to having a good midfield. Its where games are ultimately won and lost

Yeah, and Djuricic hasnt added that either Shelvey or Sigurdson would be ideal, preferably shelvey

Yes thats exactly what I want to do, why would you buy worse than what you have ? Thats an ingredient to go backwards. If we are to buy I expect to buy better

Cheap yes, but ultimately not needed. Perhaps there is some creativity there but he wasnt A. A striker or B. Have out and out pace, which is what I thought we needed in January. That said its another body I suppose, and Im not massively against the lad. Just dont think he has shown much more than Hesketh could offer

Well yeah, top flight you are right, nothing really. Thought he was impressive in the cup final. I obviously concede the overall quality of that game is not the same as a prem game in reality but I saw enough to want to see more. I think I lot of it is that I didnt understand the Djuricic signing... And still dont. I think Hesketh offers just as much

Is he genuinely though ? As Im not convinced. Ok I dont watch training etc but from what Ive seen on the pitch Hesketh looks promising and Djuricic shows very little

He is ok, but needs a foil. I dont see us playing much different to this year, and so we wont go for a 'poacher' so to speak. That and his 100k+ wages are a no for me

Worth getting excited about, certainly a better option than Hernandez for me

Manè is better than Mahrez Long is probably as good as Vardy, but we have J Rod coming back too Pellè is probably better than Ulloa. So IMO none of them are worth signing

Agreed. Djuricic has shown me nothing to believe he is worthwhile signing. Elia has looked ok in fits and starts but nothing long term. Hesketh has ability, stick him on the bench ahead of Djuricic.

I dont agree with the injury arguement either btw, I just think RK sees toby as a better midfield option than Reed when accompanying Wanyama. I think Reed is ok with Morgan, as Morgan can play further forward. Something that both Reed and Wanyama struggle with IMO. As per the DM vs CB arguement, its a strange one and probably depends on the opposition but Id say a good DM playing against a good midfield would be as stressed (as far as duels are concerned (in air and on floor)) as a CB with probably more sprinting required.

I think he is better there than Reed because he is more expansive. Though Reed is very very good defensively I think a midfield of Reed and Wanyama is almost over defensive, if that makes sense. That said you are right, looking now I think we should have held onto cork until the end of the year. As for his injury, maybe, though Id argue playing DM can be as stressful on an injury as playing CB, I expect if you look at the stats the top DMs have more tackles per game than CBs.
