I really am not a fan of Reed but he is behind getting these players in. I do wonder if there is incentives of commission on the sale of a player. Much like managers used to get. If so it is a conflict of interest. I would keep him, but there are question marks about his tenure

that's what we had under the last manager lol

If Man City want a player they can get him I would have thought. Klopp has thrown his hat on VVD being the answer and has got Liverpool to sign him, add to their defensive woes they had to get him and so pay over the top ( if 75m is true)

Interesting that Pep says he didn't want VVD

it has been like this for years now. Forget not when we had the meltdown when we sold Lallana , Chambers , Rickie and Lovren the board told us the money would be reinvested. We were given the impression it was then and now but turned out to be in the future and would also include wages. Cynical use of words. It would be great to know what the real fee is, the published fee maybe a lot different to the real one. Its all smoke and mirrors

isn't Burnley his level though? He is doing a magnificent job moulding hardworking players to their best, but I'm not sure he will play the silky football our fans demand

I agree about Rodgers and Dembele, but not selling McQueen and Redmond. A good manager would get the best out of them. Pep obviously can see the potential that Redmond has, and is also frustrated seeing his progress stopped.

Forster, I have been banging on about it for a couple of seasons now, our goalkeeping coach is useless. The first goal was pathetic. Forster rooted to the spot when a cross came in 3 yards from goal. In sport you need to be on your toes ready to spring and move quickly, Forster's feet are buried in the soil, he also is far to tight to the line. Any half decent coach would utilise his height and reach to clean out any forward. Its about time we got a coach in to hone the advantages Forster has, he is a massive investment in wages and so we need to get someone who can make FF the keeper he really can be

we have got a lot more money, and Liverpool have not had the chance to go for the league. I wonder if VVD has made a major mistake in his choice of club. He has been put to the Liverpool fans as the instant remedy to their defensive woes. Every goal will be looked at, and if is see to be making mistakes the pressure will grow on him. Yes in form he is a fantastic defender, but he was lax on a few occasions last season, especially when forwards got in front of him at the front post

don't worry ive sat through many turgid games under many managers. lol

that is a risk

Not before his medical anyway

I assume one or 2 people pointed out his error lol

Fair point Ron, lets go forward together as Churchill said lol

Eventually we might get used to it, and see every player as a mercenary. The poor kids who worship a player and then they move off within a couple of seasons. At least when I was kid the stars stayed quite a long time before they left, like Davies nd Channon

he's looking to get into the media and so wants to get a name for himself

but a lot of players we have never heard of before they arrive. The full back at Bristol City looked pretty decent the other day, there must be others around

Oh the better fan thing. I didn't think you were that pathetic Ron. I cant go due to my business commitments, running a retail business doesn't give you the luxury to take Saturdays off. I was there during the dark days , before the new PL fans arrived, but you are right, I rarely get to many games now.

yep Rodgers would be fine but would he be looking higher than us?

not my hero by a long way, but I do appreciate what he did and what he could have achieved with us

lol

Left side choice, Dean Smith, he has made Brentford a pretty good footballing team. Hell of a risk and not a big name to please the fans

Crabby, you seem very confident of this statement.Where do you think he is going???

what have they won though, except a massive wage. Strangely enough they could have won a trophy here if they had stayed, but of course its not really about trophies, just money

well he;s gone now and you must leave games elated. The football must be so much better
