Slot has questions to answer for sanctioning this

There’s irony in us being down to bare bones and wanting him for the summer, while Chelsea need two dressing rooms to fit in all of their players, yet they want him now.

Chelsea is a pyramid scheme though.

Our position may be fine then in this case

If Geertruida joins, would that be on loan from Leipzig? I don’t think he is the first choice at Sunderland, right?

Any Dutch players we’re not linked with these days?

Waiting for us to finally sign Frenkie de Jong.

Yeah, it’s a loan - and nothing says ā€œLiverpool are having an amazing seasonā€ like them signing a defender on loan at the very end of the winter transfer window.

perhaps some of our fringe players should change their names to stand a better chance of more playing time…

Wataru Van Endo?

Enrico de Chiesa?

Calviin Van Ramsay?

to name a few…

Kurt de Jong

Is Geertruida a straight loan, or with a buy option? If it’s the former, it’s a band aid designed to get through the season, and then the club can reassess defensive reinforcements in the summer. And I’m sure Slot would be happy to get the help from a familiar face.

Oh, and thanks, Jurgen.

So far they’re reporting a loan, no mention of a buy option. Sunderland don’t have one, either.

Checklist for a new player:

A)Is he Dutch?

B) If not, why isn’t he Dutch?

C) can we get him a Dutch passport anyway?

D) Are the Musical Youth his favourite band?

Slot demanded no one in his first season, we also knew that he has had little decisive making in transfers, he deserves many sticks but he is not related to transfers.

Is there any acceptable answer to this?

Mainly a right-back, he can also play as a centre-back and defensive midfielder.

Seems to make sense as a cover option

Good move. If Sunderland need to replace him then loan them one of the youngsters we have just signed. Win, win.

I really don’t understand this. If he is on loan at Sunderland how on earth can we get him?

Same as Hull got Koumas, who was at Birmingham.
