Maldini

Someone needs to tell them we need a left-winger as well

Apparently he's on less that £20k a week at the moment which is mad in this day and age

That loan getting detailed could end up being a blessing in disguise for Harvey if Slot gets sacked

Didn't realise he only has a year left on his contract come the summer. Why do we keep doing this to ourselves?

U21s just beat Arsenal 7-0. There's some decent players in there that would have had more of a look under Klopp I think. Surprised we haven't sent more of them on loan.

Pep will probably play him full-back now after all this

I just don't understand how £35m for him with 9 months left on his deal crossed the line on the Opportunistometer 2000 but £20m with 6 months left didn't especially when we have 3 senior CBs of whom 2 have poor injury records and one has been one of the worst players in the league this season. Sometimes it seems like we are allergic to doing the obvious thing and only move when it makes us look dead clever.

What's gone on with Marmoush there? He was great last season now there's talk of him going to Villa?

The MIEC (Multilateral Investment Equity Consortium) shall inherit the earth

Guardian's rumour mill linking us to Jacobo Ramón, 21-year-old CB from Como, moved there from Real Madrid in the summer

A "come and get me" plea! How retro!

We've signed 19-year-old Scouse CB Noah Adekoya from Burnley. You wait 4 months for a CB and then 3 come at once.

Signing this lad when he turns 18 this week apparently, another young CB https://www.instagram.com/p/DS2PnWFDWtb/?img_index=2&igsh=MTFyZDFxc3U1MGI0MQ==

6'6", that's a big Duk

He looks vey similar to Konate in playing style except way more comfortable on the ball and a much better passer

It hasn't been like that for about 15 years, in the last couple of years especially they've become more like American football plays with blockers and movement

Feel sorry for him, he's meant to be a great coach. Set pieces have kind of become a specialist job now

Abe was at the last Real game as a guest of Trent's brother who is acting as his agent. Guess he's off then

Manger (a)

Joseph got a hat-trick for England u16s today. I think some of this might be down to Trent's brother by the way. The club cut all ties with him after the way he behaved over the transfers and he represents several academy players.

Winger Kai Morrall is going to Leeds and Harry Lee Frith the keeper who's meant to be highly rated said he's going too. Joshua Abe who's the best in the age group has Chelsea chasing him on a revenge mission for Rio

Seems like there's a bit of an exodus going on at The Academy, two of the better players at u16 level have said they're leaving this week. A couple of others heavily linked away too

It's funny, when you hear people inside the game, players, coaches, scouts etc. talking about Jones they all rate him way higher than the average punter does.
