Ed2. One for the rumours page.

I saw you did a list the other day on potential outgoings within the Liverpool squad. Are you aware of our plans for Nunez. Is he on the not for sale list or is he available if the right bid comes in?

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any plans to replace him.}

1.) 18 Apr 2024 17:53:46
Okay, cheers Ed2.

Although he has frustrated the life out of many of us of late, including myself. I would like to see how he fairs in a different system and approach.

{Ed002's Note - Sure but he is not looking like a €100M player.}

2.) 18 Apr 2024 18:41:19
Ed2. Sadly I agree. He certainly is not looking like a €100 million player.

3.) 18 Apr 2024 22:23:42
He’s not looking like a £30m player to be honest.

4.) 19 Apr 2024 02:04:15
Don't lie Ron, we all know you love Nunez ;) .

5.) 19 Apr 2024 06:39:34
To be fair to Darwin, he was beginning to look like he could be the real deal - then we inexplicably decided to revert to the late years Wenger / Guardiola lite style of play that was such a disaster last season (presumably to boost Ljinders stock for job interviews or push sales of his book) .

It doesn’t suit him - or most of the squad tbh - and just exposes the weaknesses in his game.

Hopefully Amorim and his coaching staff play to his strengths and we can see the real Captain Chaos again.

6.) 19 Apr 2024 07:45:20
I thought he was doing alright causing problems out in the wing for a bit. But that only seemed to last a few games before he was moved central again. But then, what do I know…?

7.) 19 Apr 2024 08:02:03
If you need an example of what the right or wrong tactics can do for / to a player, look at Amorim’s current star striker - Viktor Gyokores.

In Brighton’s system he looked like a player who’d struggle to get a game on Stanley Park.

But stick him with 2 managers who play to his strengths (Robins at Cov and Amorim at Sporting) and he’s flying.

8.) 19 Apr 2024 08:03:43
He needs to play LW, can't be relied on as the main threat.

9.) 19 Apr 2024 12:50:20
We are overloaded with right footed left wingers.

Drawin is not the best of them.

10.) 19 Apr 2024 18:46:26
Nunez is in the top 5 goals/ assist chart in the top 5 leagues of Europe, which is not a walk in the park, however his easy misses have cost us points, and his erratic nature does not seem to be improving.

21 Aug 2023 11:42:24
Ed2. Has Liverpool looked at Konstantinos Koulierakis the young centre back that plays for POAK in the Greek Super League?

The lad looks a real talent but I understand AC Milan are very much interested. Seeing if there is a possibility for us to make a deal happen.

{Ed002's Note - No, he would not get a WP for the Premier League.}

1.) 21 Aug 2023 14:12:56
Okay cheers ?.

2.) 21 Aug 2023 15:47:07
Football manager? We should look at roony bardgjhi too! and that diouf kid from rennes for midfield!

3.) 21 Aug 2023 18:16:43
@Liveburd031 Football manager? I have a life so don’t have time to be sitting in front of a PC playing football games.

29 Jul 2023 11:12:32
Ed. Do we have any interest in Florentino Luis? Are Benfica even open to selling this summer given the right price or is he in the not for sale category?

{Ed002's Note - Florentino (DM) Scouts continue to watch Benfica but they have no interest in selling Florentino Luis unless his buy out clause is met or nearly matched. Seen by Barcelona as a potential Busquets replacement, but, too expensive although they would look to include a player or two.Borussia Dortmund and Liverpool spoke with his agent last summer. Manchester City want to upgrade Kalvin Phillips and Florentino fits the bill. For Liverpool he would realistically be a Fabinho replacement but they are looking at others so can realistically be discounted. PSG were interested but have moved for Ugarte so they can be discounted. Napoli, Arsenal and Milan offer less likely options although with Tonali now departing Milan we may see an increase of interest in him but at nothing close to his buy out clause and they will want to include players. Wildcard would be Chelsea but they have a much preferred option. His sale would also be dependent on buying a replacement and the one they have in mind is edging toward a move elsewhere.}

1.) 29 Jul 2023 12:08:08
Cheers Ed2. Much appreciated ?.

2.) 29 Jul 2023 13:06:07
Isn’t his buy out clause about £100m. That’s going to put a lot of clubs off.

3.) 30 Jul 2023 12:22:25
If we are signing any player for 100m this season, it should be Gvardiol.

I know, Ed02. It's not going to happen.

15 May 2022 14:28:23
Ed2.

A lot has been said about Jude Bellingham and his next destination for the 2023/ 2024 season. However, I have seen a few outlets reporting that we are interested in his younger brother Jobe Bellingham. Can you shed any light on whether this is true or which clubs are looking at him?

{Ed002's Note - He is a 16 year old kiddie - I would need to ask around.}

1.) 15 May 2022 22:26:57
No problem. Cheers Ed2.

2.) 16 May 2022 09:34:23
Not wishing to be cynical but clever move by the club if looking ahead to tempting big brother Bellingham over next year.

3.) 16 May 2022 10:52:52
like bowen but would only be an option if salah left.
liverpool have raided relegated teams before (robertson, wijnaldum, shaqiri) .
could raphinha be a target if leeds go down?

27 May 2021 18:59:28
Ed2. Respect your opinion on transfers. Daily and Sunday Express seem to think the club, or should I say Michael Edwards is scheduled to meet Bissouma's agent tomorrow. Can we chalk this down to the media selling a story knowing we have an interest in him or is there some truth to this?

{Ed002's Note - I have explained before that three interested sides (there may be others) have spoken with Michael N'Cho about the player and two are serious options that will see if a deal can be reached. I don't know what his plans are for tomorrow.}

1.) 27 May 2021 21:07:25
Hey Alonso, Fabrizio confirmed today definite interest from Liverpool and Arsenal. Says that he's not first choice for Arsenal (looking at another style of midfielder) I suspect Buendia, Odegaard, Aouar etc.

Ed002 may I ask what sides are interested and the two serious options that Bissouma has? I didn't realise negotiations had moved so that concrete options were available. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Why do I have to keep explaining that Liverpool and Arsenal are very interested. It is particularly tiresome.}

2.) 27 May 2021 22:19:22
Thanks for time Ed2, much appreciated.

3.) 28 May 2021 08:57:23
Apologies Ed002. Note taken - Liverpool and Arsenal like him!

I'm proud of the boys. Got a little teary seeing VVD emotional at the final whistle. Proud of our captain. His first trophy as captain and many more to come.

26 Jan 2024 12:02:17
Ed1. For me, I love what Xabi Alonso is doing in Germany and been quite vocal about that. I didn't think the time would come as soon as this summer to think about it. So my question is. Do you see the club bringing in Alonso?

To Klopp. All I can say is thank you for the memories. You made me hold my head up high amongst any fans in the league. I remember crying with pride the night we won the League. You bought us every trophy possible. What I hope to see is the boys push on and see him off by winning the quadruple!

YNWA.

{Ed001's Note - I just don't see any other candidate out there.}

1.) 26 Jan 2024 12:31:03
Best way to put is he’s a generational talent and character. Certainly no one who is not replaceable. its really tough recognising a replacement in all honesty, but if the club has known since November they must already be considering candidates or at least have a short list.

Would Xabi be in that list I really don’t know.

2.) 26 Jan 2024 12:32:39
Ed1. I hope you’re right. He is the obvious choice and hope the club are aware of him.

Just in complete shock about this news to be honest, and the only comfort would be Alonso taking over.

3.) 26 Jan 2024 12:33:18
Alonso IMO, the real question should be: Who else is out there that can come in esp. one who knows the club and it's supporters and the fabric of the club on a deeper level other than Alonso right now judging by the madness he is doing at Leverkusen right now?

4.) 26 Jan 2024 12:33:20
He's certainly the best candidate if not the only 1, just hope pep doesn't get the role.
True legend Jurgen. Above all players past and present. True legend.

5.) 26 Jan 2024 14:09:02
Pep is off, Magico.

30 Sep 2023 21:07:45
Despite the atrocious and quite frankly inexcusable decisions I'm proud to be a red and proud of my team. It took a last minute own goal for Spurs to beat a 9 man team. We pick ourselves up and we go again and show why we can be title contenders. YNWA.

1.) 30 Sep 2023 21:16:50
Hear hear.

2.) 30 Sep 2023 21:19:24
What happens now, when a legitimate goal is disallowed post VAR check? How was the goal even disallowed? What will be the consequences i wonder.

3.) 30 Sep 2023 22:21:40
The refs ref the refs.
Oh we made a mistake. sorry. and move on to make more next week.

Call them out and you get banned. So they have a free pass to be as incompetent as they want.

4.) 30 Sep 2023 22:47:29
If Harry Kane can file an appeal and have a goal that was credited to someone else credited to him, why can't Luis Diaz file an appeal to have a goal credited that was not credited? There's ample factual evidence that would back his claim.

16 Sep 2023 14:49:42
Szoboszlai is only 22 years old. Just let that sink in.

1.) 16 Sep 2023 20:26:12
Did he have a good game?

16 Aug 2023 12:54:21
For Ed1 and fellow fans.

Would you be happy with Cheick Doucouré for a reported £50-£60 million in addition to paying Andre Trindade's £34 million release clause to bring him in now?

I would be more than happy with whose two and a LCB. Been researching more on Andre and everyone in Brazil seem to think he is the best of his generation, which is a big claim. Whether they're right or not and he fulfils his potential is another matter.

Not sure which Liverpool outlet did an interview (YouTube) with someone in Brazil who is close to Andre and those around him. But he was echoing what a lot of people are saying about him in terms of his ability and potential. Interestingly he said Andre wants to come and if we went in for him this summer he would jump at the chance. We are his first choice apparently but with how things have gone so far - until the player is in a Liverpool top I will take that with a pinch of salt.

{Ed001's Note - I would be happy with that, I like Doucoure. Not seen Andre play but I hear great things about him.}

1.) 16 Aug 2023 13:39:28
Yes, Doucoure can put himself about on the field which is what we need.
Another more defensive midfielder and centre half would be great but I don't know who that should be.

2.) 16 Aug 2023 13:41:53
It would be great if we can secure Doucoure.

I personally still can let got of the chance of getting Gravenberch for a reasonable fee (£25m or so if reports are to be believed) . This is a guy who looked a world beater at Ajax, but who's career has stalled at Bayern, but he's only 21. He's not unlike Pipco who didn't look all that at Milan, but was able to grow and flourish with us.

Andre looks great too, but I'd rather we do a deal now for January (when AFAIK his price will be a bit lower as Fluminese can keep him for the rest of their season) and give him half a season to adapt before Thiago leaves (or sell Thiago in Jan if there is an offer that suits him) .

Need to get a LCB done too.

I was hoping for Fofana as both Eds are fans and he is a fair bit cheaper than Doucoure, but I guess PL experience is crucial if we don't want another 'transitional season'.

3.) 16 Aug 2023 13:43:24
Ed1, Same here. Florentino and Andre would be even better but I like Doucouré.

Regarding a LCB. Do you know why we haven’t activated Inacio’s release clause? I could be wrong but if we pay the reported £39 million then we don’t have to negotiate with Sporting. Same way we activated Szoboszlai’s release clause, which meant RB had no say in the matter. Or am I missing something?

We need a LCB and there is one staring us in the face. Would be good to hear your take on it.

4.) 16 Aug 2023 13:46:10
I 100% agree Rigsby. Another defensive midfielder and centre half and we challenge on all fronts. Fingers crossed ?.

5.) 16 Aug 2023 13:49:19
yeah I'd be happy with that whilst a bit guttered for Bajcetic.

6.) 16 Aug 2023 13:54:03
Ed01 if you are interested, I just read a great article on the Liverpool city website (not sure I can post the link on here) about Doucoure and how he rose through the JMG academy (the one run by Jean Marc Gillou which produced, the Toure bros, Gervinho, Bissouma etc. ) in his native country Mali and it's director gave a full account of Doucoure and his attributes and qualities as a player.

He essentially said that Doucore's talent are not defensive alone. In fact, he says that he is very creative in possession and is always looking to start attacks after winning the ball and that is how RC Lens signed him before he then moved to Palace and is now hopefully, on the verge of joining us. If waht the academy director says about him is true then, we have a gem on our hands should we get him and by all accounts, he is super keen to play for us.

{Ed001's Note - he is a very good player, not sure why we didn't sign him rather than go for Caicedo to be honest.}

7.) 16 Aug 2023 14:00:32
@Zeddicus - Waiting until January for Andre is a good shout because his price will be lower. I’m seriously worried if we do that other teams can come in for him. Would rather pay the release clause and bring him in now.

@Faithinworks - Baj is a top talent and only 18 years old. Even if we sign two DM’s he will still get plenty of game time due to injuries, suspension, domestic cup matches and Europa.

{Ed002's Note - Why will the price be lower? It is not as simple as paying the release clause.}

8.) 16 Aug 2023 14:38:20
Alonso1786 like you've I've read good things about Andre Trindade but I think one of the issues is that his club will not sell him while they are still in their version of the Champions league so won't be available until their season finishes in Jan (I think) and if that is the case then Jorge needs to get that deal agreed now so we don't have any more issues then. Would like to think we'd get Doucouré plus another DMF but wouldn't be surprised of we played stefan bajcetic until the new year. Also we agree we definitely need a LCB. Here's hoping it gets done sooner rather than later.

9.) 16 Aug 2023 15:25:13
Sorry Ed002, it may be my misunderstanding on Andre. I thought you had said that his price will be higher now given the fact they are midway through their season, I probably read it somewhere else.

I am aware that his deal is complicated by an element of 3rd party ownership which would need resolving.

Alonso, I meant to say to agree a deal for him now to come in Jan - hopefully will suit the 2 clubs (albeit maybe not the 3rd party! ) and thereby make the deal easier to agree.

{Ed002's Note - The difficulties are that the transfer window in Brazil has closed, Fluminense are still in midseason and doing well, and they only own 80% of his rights. Sporting have suggested they might yet try and strike a deal. Liverpool are putting their efforts elsewhere.}

10.) 16 Aug 2023 15:37:47
Regarding Andre, let’s sort the immediate things such as the lad from CP, sign the lad from Sporting if possible, then organise Andre for Jan.

It’s the way I see the priority imo.
As Ed’s have stated it appears Andre has been on the radar for 2 years, so we should know all we need to.

Ed’s, maybe Dacoure was not above CM of now Chelsea, due to Afcon? Maybe.

{Ed002's Note - Chelsea have been talking to Crystal Palace about others - not Doucoure.}

11.) 16 Aug 2023 16:07:56
Thank you Ed002. From one of your earlier answers, does the €40m that Fluminese want only represent their 80% owenership?

Therefore Andre would cost that element to Fluminese plus whatever we have to pay for the remaining 20%?

{Ed002's Note - Of course - they can’t sell what they don’t own.}

12.) 16 Aug 2023 16:23:45
I nearly got a heart attack when i started your reply there ed02.chelsea have been talking with cp haha.

13.) 16 Aug 2023 17:00:59
I'd sooner have a whole Doucoure than four fifths of Andre.

14.) 16 Aug 2023 17:37:53
Depends if the 4/ 5 of Andre could be selected by the purchasing club?

We could do without his arms as he could just do like Dom and not use them to pull down opponents and therefore avoid red cards.

Also, his 'auld fella' we could leave behind as sex before games is meant to be detrimental to on field performance.

I still think we could get an effective DM from 4/ 5 of Andre.

15.) 16 Aug 2023 17:41:43
Kew17, I think that Ed02 said that Klopp tapped Inacio up and Sporting got peeved about it and would not do business with us regarding him or any one of their players till further notice. So you can scratch him off that list, sadly.

{Ed002's Note - No, I never said that. Klopp tapped up a different Sporting player, got caught and admitted stupidity.}

16.) 16 Aug 2023 18:19:57
Palace would probs only sell doucoure for 70m Alonso not 50-60.

17.) 16 Aug 2023 18:11:21
Was it ugarte?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

18.) 16 Aug 2023 18:29:09
Ed002 Liverpool are putting there efforts elsewhere I’m assuming Doucoure.

19.) 16 Aug 2023 18:48:15
To clarify, I meant Ignacio and Decoure if it’s viable, I may have got his (Ignacio) club wrong in my above statement, the belief is reading other posts that Ignacio has buy out clause of 40 mill, I assume that’s Euros?

Then go for Andre for Jan, discussions could take place after securing the above 2, that way LFC could ask Fluminese to resolve the 20% to organise the sale to us, providing that is the way we go.

20.) 16 Aug 2023 21:01:21
Ah Ed02, sorry for that. I always thought it was Inacio and not Ugarte. Apologies, man.

Ed2. Has been mentioning Arne Slot from the beginning.

Paul Joyce tweeted 2 hours ago “Feyenoord coach Arne Slot interesting Liverpool. “

Fabrizio Romano just tweeted the following “One more direct contact will take place soon between Arne Slot and Liverpool board to discuss more key points of the project.

Slot, keen on Liverpool job and concrete option as he’s highly rated by #LFC. ”

I don’t know much about him as I don’t watch the Dutch league. All I know is he turned down both Spurs and Chelsea in the last few years.

All I know is when Joyce is very reliable when it comes to our Liverpool affairs. So it looks like our next coach is Arne Slot.

Ed2. I am trying to understand this. I have previously asked why Klopp still has involvement in future transfer decisions, despite being on the way out. You informed me it’s because his opinion is valued. But, if we really wanted Amorim or another manager for that matter and this is causing problems in appointing them - then I’m scratching my head as to why Edwards and Hughes would allow that to continue. Wouldn’t common sense mean they would put a stop to that completely? I mean, great manager and legend he is, that is not in doubt. But talent spotting has reportedly never been his strong point. If I’m missing something here let me know because to me, it doesn’t make sense.

{Ed002's Note - Edwards and to a lesser extent Hughes do not pick the players. Hunter and Fallows do.}

22 Apr 2024 19:39:10
Alonso and Amorim were my first choice. I’ll be honest, I’m not keen on De Zerbi or the other names mentioned. But I have a feeling that we might go with De Zerbi. Tactically he is very good, which you only have to see the brand of football they were playing before this season. And the way managers, not to mention players past and present speak about him. It’s his combative nature that I’m worried about. I will have to trust Edwards as he has brought in players not so favoured who turned out to be brilliant for us. If it is De Zerbi, maybe he will be the same.

I’ll be honest I’m at the stage where I’m beyond anger. I’m even past being resigned to this team and manager putting out the same performance and effort each week without fail. I’m at the stage of just utter confusion. I simply cannot explain it anymore. It is clearly a multitude of things but to me something is off with the players and I’m not just talking about their performances. As for Klopp, I simply cannot recognise who this man is anymore. Because this ain’t Klopp at all. It’s almost like all common sense never mind tactical sense has decided to the take that sabbatical before he actually did. He has absolutely no plan B. On the touch lines he looks like he doesn’t have a clue. A player will play well then get dropped the following game. And for the life of me, why is he swapping centre backs every week, like what top manager does that? He brings on Gomez and Kostas when we are 2-0 down to do what exactly? In fact I’ll go one step further. He brought on 3 defenders when we were losing and left Danns on the bench? And why does he keeps starting Jones? He clearly keeps instructing the team to play at a walking tempo with Hendo-esque sideways passing, and that’s despite performances and results taking a nose dive. I simply don’t get it and it’s sad to see our manager go out like this.

People point to the fact that he told us he was exhausted in January. Well, yes he told us he was exhausted and leaving in January. But the timing of that announcement and the way both Klopp and FSG handled the matter was completely wrong in my opinion. Personally he should have left in November when he first informed FSG. I understand Klopp is human and not a machine. So like most humans in normal jobs that hand in their 2 - 6 weeks notice period, they are not focused. Very few give the same effort. In fact the majority down tool’s completely. Now, take away sentiment for one second and let the fact that Klopp has been allowed to serve a 6 month notice period when he told FSG he was mentally exhausted. FSG should have thanked him for everything and told him he has to go there and then. And Klopp in all honesty should have told FSG himself that he simply cannot do it anymore and he is leaving as of immediate effect, because if he is not 100% it would be a disservice to the club for him to stay on until the end of the season. Us fans would have said you know what, at least he didn’t stay when he weren’t 100% focused. Everything starts from the manager and it filters down to the players. And we wonder why the players are walking around like they couldn’t give a toss.

And talking about not giving a toss, let’s start with Salah. Yes, his legs have gone and yes he ain’t the same Salah. But as many including myself have mentioned some weeks back - his body language is all the way off. He will miss chances and then clearly look like he isn’t bothered. For an ultra competitive athlete like Salah that is telling. And has anyone noticed he is simply not running anymore. In fact someone tell me the last time they saw him press an opponent? He is going through the motions and for me, his head is fully in Saudi Arabia. He is most likely thinking about the reported £2.5million per week tax free wages, the all year round sunshine and being the main man over there. If it looks obvious to a lot of us why is Klopp starting him? Because it’s not like he is playing badly or has poor body language but is still banging the goals in week in week out.

Diaz for all his fancy tricks and flicks is not clinical. Let’s call a spade a spade. Plus it looks like he wants a place in the sun, so he can go. No one is bigger than the club, especially someone who doesn’t exactly have a great scoring record. And as for Nunez, he is testing my patience. We have to make a decision on him in the summer. Either sell him and cut our losses or Arne Slot has to be dedicated to working with him day in day out, because I can’t take another season of forwards not finishing. Personally I’m at the point where we cut our losses and sell him. And lastly Mr Diogo Jota. Screaming Jota the Slotta and he is our best finisher is wearing thin with me. I posted his injury record the other day, which if we are having an honest conversation is quite frankly ridiculous. Just sell him in the summer. There is a case for selling literally all of our forwards bar Danns. I mean, we have forwards who either can’t finish or can’t stay fit. You seriously can’t make it up. The defence is a copy and paste of what I just said about the forwards. We have defenders who cannot defend to save their life’s. And can we talk about Robbo. The guy simply cannot cross anymore, he is not exactly been the best defensively for a few years now and he is picking up frequent injuries. So what exactly does he offer? To compound matters his back up in Kostas is ten times worse. I would sell all our backline bar Quansah and Bradley.

@JK23. Starts of as 4-2-3-1 but often switches to 4-4-2 when the opposition is attacking to provide a solid defensive shape. He has thrown surprises if he feels the opponent is inferior. This is to completely dominate and suffocate the opposition into submission. Slots is meant to be very good tactically and his teams PRESS. Apparently, he will not accept any passengers in his side. I read that over a few seasons (can’t remember which ones) teams managed by him had the most chance created and shots on goal from any team across the top leagues in Europe. I’m by no means an expert on Slot, in fact far from it. Just passing on what I have gathered so far. But in short Its defensively sound, extremely high pressing, ultra attacking, fast paced, goal filled, exciting football.

@Zeddicus. I'm with you on the Endo-like vibes. And the Feyenoord fans are completely distraught.

@TheBeekeper. According to Ajax fans, Ten Hag’s football as good as it was, and I quote, is not in the same stratosphere tactically, both defensively in the way they press and in particular attacking wise. Plus, their demeanours are very much different. Slot apparently has more presence and authority. He is known for his excellent man management and closeness with the players and fans. However, as we know nothing is guaranteed in football, so we will have to see how he fairs over here.

Having said that, and I could be completely off with what I’m about to say. I’m very optimistic that he is going to be more successful than any of us could have predicted.

Any manager coming in would be a risk to varying degrees. Now, I don’t claim to know much about the Dutch league but since last night I have tried to gain a better understanding of the man that is Arne Slot and the opinion of him by all Dutch fans via varies forums, interviews, what journalist say about him and players currently playing under him, and those that have in the past, along with tactical analysis videos.

My personal opinion, and I could be wrong here is this might be a masterstroke by Edwards. I read he was on course to win the league with a team called AZ, which would have been something close to a miracle. But the season was cut short due to the C.V. and as a result no one was declared the champions that year. Opposition fans have said he is nothing like Ten Hag and are confused at our fanbase having meltdown due to his impending appointment. They say they have never seen such good football from any team in recent memory and that he will shock a lot of us. The way they’re talking, and that includes opposition and direct rival fans of Feyenoord took me back, in a good way. Here is just one comment I read on a forum and there are countless others from Feyenoord and rival fans that echo the same sentiment:

“I’ve followed Feyenoord for 40 years. Not since the days of Johan Cruyff at Ajax in the 1980s has there been a coach so attack-minded in the Dutch league. Cruyff only had a few disciples who followed him and one of them was Pep Guardiola. ” “I would say Slot is a Guardiola-style manager based on everything I’ve seen over the past couple of years. The fans of Feyenoord can’t believe what they’ve seen over that time. ”.

Players get injured and I’m sure it’s frustrating for Jota as much is it is for us fans. But the guy is injured every season.

And saying he is our most clinical striker is all well and good but what good is that when he is not available? I would and expect he will be sold in the summer. One, to raise funds and two to bring in someone who not injury prone.

Btw, here is his injury record stretching back to the 18/ 19 season. I would add the fact that he joined us in 20/ 21, so the previous two campaigns below are from his days at Wolves.

23/ 24 - Knee collateral - 51 days
23/ 24 - Muscle injury - 28 days

22/ 23 - Calf injury - 116 days
22/ 23 - Hamstring injury - 31 days

21/ 22 - Ankle injury - 14 days

20/ 21 - Foot injury - 11 days
20/ 21 - Knee bruise - 84 days

19/ 20 - Calf injury - 21 days
19/ 20 - Ankle injury - 28 days

18/ 19 - Bruise - 25 days
18/ 19 - Hamstring injury - 32.

{Ed001's Note - I do wonder how much of a part his long hours playing videogames has to play (sorry bad pun) in his injury problems. It is not good to be sat still for hours on end.}
