And Hato apparently being our alternative to Kerkez is also amazing in terms of thought process.

The mention of Hato was as an example I did know he was a LB/CB, I wish we had kept Quansah.
We were linked to Hato to replace the Greek scouse though.
Thatâs what I was referring to, I donât understand how it was Kerkez or Hato. Especially now that Iâm really getting to know Kerkez. Doesnât make much sense.

Itâs difficult to find versatile defenders, Calafiori after having a very good Euros just before Arsenal signed him wouldâve been a good pick up. Believe we were also linked with Timber at the same time.
Isnât Gomez supposed to be that for us? Isnât the only reason we stopped him from leaving in the summer due to his versatility?..but Arne has no intentions to play him at fullback which is the only position heâs looked good in for the past 5 years. Heâs opted to play Quansah, Endo, Jones and Szobo there over himâŚwhy?

Was thinking of the other 5-1 v Arsenal where Bobby got a hattrick. Was under Klopp of course

In the 5-1 under Rodgers we were actually more in a 4-3-3 that day, it wasnât the diamond shape (we did use it in some games, especially later on). Suarez playing in the right half-space, well explained by Rodgers why he wanted Luis against Arsenalâs left side of defence that day. Sturridge was up top, Sterling on the left.
Was that the one where he didnât look at any of the finishers.
And one of the Arsenal players ended up on his arse, ah those were good days.

I thought that was the one where we scored 4 inside 20 minutes under Rodgers, I woke up that day after being out late to a text from a mate saying I can enjoy the rest of the day thinking whatâs he on about.

Hato looked absolutely pants in the one start he had in Chelseaâs away draw at Qarabag

Itâs not so much the quality that I wondered about, but the style. How we had Hato as the alternative to Kerkez is confusing. Frimpong and Kerkez alone are confusing. But I also understand that the media doesnât know everything.

Wasnât sure whether to put this in the ibou thread or here, but either way Madrid have rather understandably been out off by his performances this season

They really watched him and said
Damn it!

What? They watched more than the one game he showed up for.
No club in their right senses would sign him now,even a pub team would think twice.

Suppose itâs better to not sign someone you have doubts over than to sign someone you think will transform your play, only to find out pretty early on youâd left yourself in a world of disappointment.
Always need the numbers.
At this rate weâll soon get an article "WBA drop interest in Konate in their pursuit of a Nat Phillips backup.
