Mmm “grooming”. Sounds more Rochdale than Madrid!
I get they are big, glamorous, successful and it’s warm and a nice city but…. It’s the arrogance I hate, the entitlement…. Oh and the financial cheating with the government and local council.
And Ramos….
No.
Why? He is an excellent 3rd/4th option that can fill in every position of the backline. He is still young and he is homegrown. He won’t fetch some ridiculous fee either.
He isn’t even injury-prone, he’s just been extremely unlucky with the severity of his injuries.
That came out wrong - even though I was one of the first posters to ask for his sale two years ago when his extended run form was pretty weak. Taking everything into account, I wouldn’t be against his sale if it opened up a spot for a new centre back who has potential to take over from Van Dijk in the future and also if it guaranteed more minutes and development for Quansah.
If we want to add at CB, and I understand the argument for that being among our priorities, then we probably need to make room for whomever it is we bring in. Gomez is the obvious choice for that given the age and status of everyone else. There is a scenario though where if Trent leaves and we cannot find who we really want as a replacement that he gets kept on for a year to be Bradley’s #2 at RB.
That is probably an unlikely scenario so I’d say the chances are pretty high that not only does Gomez leave but he’s played his last game for us. Imagine the scenes if he makes it back in time to play against Palace and comes on as a late sub, going up for a corner and…
Isn’t there a place to discuss defence elsewhere.
Morgan Rogers name being touted if AV sign De Bruyne
I thought he would head off to MLS.
He leaves on a free transfer - AV seem interested (apparently)
"What’s next for De Bruyne is unclear. He’s made it clear he doesn’t want to rule out a move to another Premier League team. There’s even been suggestions that Liverpool could make a move for him.
The latest though seems to suggest he could be heading to another Premier League team instead.
According to Melissa Reddy, writing for Sky Sports, Aston Villa have begun internal talks about the possibility of signing the Belgian star on a free contract."
Well that’s kind of why I thought he would head out there.
His hair colour wouldn’t be great in a hot climate like SÃ.
It’s been tried before and lots of ‘blueys’ have survived just fine in SA, SA and SA.
As @PeachesEnRegalia knows, it’s having to sunscreen your noggin that makes things tough
Reported.
No need for this sort of thing at all.
Rodgers yes please. Cannot see it happening. Too much money.
De Bruyne?
Oh fuck off. We don’t need that ginger prick
He grew up a Liverpool fan.
If the wage demands aren’t exorbitant, and he’s happy to be a rotational option at his age, I’d sign him in a heartbeat.
Bruyne is boss. 
Szobo could sit and learn a bit how to be creative, other than hitting top speed sprints and knuckle shots, knuckle passes, knuckle handing the remote control to his wife, knuckle everything.
Not gonna happen though.
Rogers is very interesting, but I don’t see us going (big) for him at this moment.
I hope if we do get him people will learn how to spell his name instead of associating him with that other not-so-good person…
It’s Rogers.
Pedant.
