Yes, yes and yes IMO.  Bednarek is possibly the worst CB in the league also IMO.

You realise we have Jack Stephens on the books right ?

[Saint Matty 76]

There's no use in a player who wouldn't spend any time playing, regardless of some Fergie quotes from 10 years ago or not.

I'd much prefer either of the Burnley CBs on a free if we're looking for an experienced player in that route. Tarkowski may be less achievable but Ben Mee perhaps not so much.

[nta786]

I’d like us to go for Bergwijn for about £20m-£25m if possible. 
I just don’t like dealing with Spurs though.

At least Stephens has the advantage of being able to ping a half decent pass out from the pack. That's about it though. The pair of them are completely inept.

But you also have to consider that Stephens is an up and coming young talent and still one for the future 😉

Thankfully, you personally wont be.

Jack Stephens > Jan Bednarek

JS, actually a fighter, passionate, will get stuck in. Problem is doesn’t play regularly which is where his best form comes out.

JB has been poor for ages, constant errors, he might be tall but he’s weak physically and mentally. Constantly flails his arms in the air, majority of the time is when it’s actually his error.

[Lighthouse]

I’d probably take Bergwijn for £15-20m. He’s looks decent enough in fleeting spells for Spurs although he mostly seems to be an 89th min sub.

Yes, but he's only available 1 game a season whereas Bednarek usually makes 40+.

not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

Criteria #1 for me, in any position, is being fit enough to actually get onto the pitch nine games out of ten. For that reason I’ll pass on Bale, AOC, Jones and any other, "hey wouldn’t it be great if he came here and stayed fit!" Player.

Does anyone know for certain whether Jack is still on the books (or will be come the end of the month)? No sign of a renewed contract (unlike McCarthy who it was rumoured signed one last Summer and so it proved). His absence from squads late in the season suggested perhaps that he was being let go, but then he suddenly appeared again out of the blue. Thought the Retained List would have been published by now.

I reckon in the right team, Jack could be a revelation, with his leadership mentality, experience and attitude. Maybe Leeds.

I agree with the second part. Not the first. He's had PLENTY of runs in the team and been utter garbage. He usually does quite well when he comes back for the first game or two and then reverts to type.

Caoimhin Kelleher unsure on Liverpool future. He'll never oust Allison who is only 30, played well when he did play last season, and Klopp has previously rated him as the best number two in the country (or World, i forget which). HCDAJFU for the right price?

of course Klopp rated him as the 2nd best in the country.  I am just surprised he is not rated as the 2nd best EVER in the history of the world.

Very much so. For all the talk of Bale, Jones and Chris Bart-Williams this is exactly the type of signing we look to make.

Could probably replace Long and Walcott with one player given how little they featured.

By "Saintsy", do you mean targeting a young player with potential to improve and be sold on for a tidy profit or targeting a player that ultimately we lose out to a Premier League rival? Both approaches are equally "Saintsy", I guess. 😃

[Turkish]

Have we signed anyone yet?

My definition of "Saintsy" within this context was your former.

Cheaper, young, kind of off the radar. (I don't mean any of that to be negative, BTW).

He must fit  right in at a club with the greatest ever CB (VvD), and a player so magical he can see things others don’t, and probably better than Beckham, Cafu and Zidane all-in-one (TAA)

Regularly see this kind of comment regarding players, not just ours. To say he's utter garbage is just silly.

A young championship level striker who doesn’t score many goals, course we’re in for him

[HarvSFC]

Double barrelled surnames are very Saintsy. Don't know too much about him, but he pretty much won all of Hull's end of season awards at 21.*

*They finished 19th, so his competition wouldn't have been too great.

[beatlesaint]

If we haven’t signed anyone have we at least got rid of any of the deadwood yet?

Often plays wide. 13 goals not shabby at only 21.

It's the hunger.  That's where the potential is.  XG takes hunger into consideration.

Adams and armstrong also were on fire in the championship....... its a big step up.

Hull played 3-4-2-1, with him on the left of that two. Left winger.
