@TheMaestro probably meant hassenhuttl? Dunno
Sorry, Dean Smith.
Apparently he told the AV Board he wanted signings, not sign-IngsâŚ
The waiting is getting to meâŚ
That was a good one
Now can we please have a bidding war between Southampton and Brighton over Origi.
Loser gets Minamino for half the price of OrigiâŚ
Not really new news, but SSN reporting the following;
Liverpool wonât allow Xherdan Shaqiri to leave the club for free this transfer window.
Sevilla, Villarreal and Napoli have all been linked with a move for the Swiss international, who looks certain to move on.
Liverpool are adamant they want around 15m euros (ÂŁ12.75m) for the player who has two years left on his Anfield contract.
What an odd statement for them to make - why would anyone think we would let him go on a free this window?
Itâs because of an article doing the rounds yesterday form the Italian media that said we would let him go to Lazio for âalmost zeroâ. Most presumed it was a mis-translation and just meant a cheap price. Others were fuming about him going for free. Theyâre always fuming.
Tbf, most of the number will be zeroes. Seven of them with only the number 2 at the beginning.
Nobody is going to pay 25m for Minamino
No he wasnât, he went on to score later in the match.
Donât think he was even booked.
This post just reeks of âhow dare you try to change someone elseâs opinions theyâve formed with their own two eyes with solid factsâ.
Nothing to do with the fact that I was merely pointing out that his ratio looks terrible because of the substitute appearances. In fact, if you think about it (as opposed to just âfeelâ), having that ratio as a substitute is actually pretty good, and pretty much what we want from a player who is not going to displace any of the starters.
Itâs almost as though many in this forum, simply treats players who have indeed contributed significant amounts to our success as absolute toxic waste we need to dispose of immediately just because theyâre not the hottest new toy. I canât imagine whatâs going to happen to Firmino in a couple of years time. Calling our own players lazy and unmotivated despite the documented history of them having forced their way back into contention through sheer hard work and drive.
Itâs almost like Youâll Never Walk Alone only matters if youâre the hot new toy to some.
Strong ties with the club perhaps? Ambition perhaps? I think if he was going to leave this easily he wouldnât have bothered trying to fight for his place in 2018, and would have just left the club then.
As itâs a day for stupid statements, I may as well join in.
PSG wonât allow MâBappe to join Liverpool for free this summer.
Howâs that for stupid?
On the Fofana tackle, itâs a serious problem. It wasnât so long ago that Larouciâs leg got snapped in two during a friendly against Sevilla.
To be honest, given the way the PSG ownership seems to operate, I wouldnât be surprised if it was âfreeâ.
Mbappe denies to join Liverpool on a free transfer as the number 7 jersey is not available.
Mbappe refuses to take the number 7 from James Milner as he has always idolised Milner. He has chosen the number 77 instead in a homage to Milner, and will play for Liverpool for free as long as James Milner is still in the team.
I see what you did there.
Contrarian statement incoming - I donât see THAT much wrong with the Fofana tackle. It is far closer to unlucky than nasty to me and think its an example of people overracting to the outcome than the action. I have far more problem with a dangerous tackle that the opponent walks away from than from a tackle where the ball is taken cleanly but the player ends up hurt. The challenge from Loftus-Cheek that has put Partey out of action was far worse
