Seen a couple of reports today that we are interested in Barella from inter in the summer and also Marmoush from Frankfurt - is there anything in these or just two more added to a list of all the players signing for LFC?

Sofa_Fan

{Ed002's Note - Nicolo Barella (CM/DM) Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have had approaches turned away. Don't be surprised of a significant offer from Manchester City or PSG or a further approach from Real Madrid - but Inter don't wish to sell and would no doubt demand something towards €100M or so. Liverpool or Spurs may show an interest but Inter have not been approached by either although they have sent scouts. The player does not wish to leave and is expected to sign a new contract. Long term interest of Chelsea went with the player wanting to stay in Italy - although they could yet try to persuade him otherwise and have spoken with Ale Beltrami who acts as an intermediary offering up Lukaku as part of the deal last year to no avail. Beltrami has also spoken with Manchester City directly. Interest of Manchester United and Newcastle has gone.

Omar Marmoush (S/LW) Eintracht Frankfurt have no intention of selling the the right footed versatile forward although West Ham has a declared interest. His agent says there is still interest from Newcastle, Spurs and Brentford. Apparently, noted by Liverpool scouts when were watching another player late last season. Chelsea have sent scouts.}

Interesting question. Would have to say yes to that deal bc a. it would be good to get something (anything) for Trent and b. It would be a relief to have Salah’s replacement sorted.


2.) 16 Oct 2024 21:16:04
Lost me with the reference to Trent @Stone.

In the nicest of ways, who are the ED’s or is this the mystery of the site? It amazes me how accurate they are, as I’m sat here with sky sports news on and refreshing this page, where do they get there information from, is it links? Contacts? Or are they in the business and go as ED’s to keep identity hidden ?

Really appreciate all their input, it must be so frustrating at times especially around this time of year ??.

So we have heard planning to improve in the summer - let’s bring our own version of football manager. Who do you think we can realistically go for to improve on this year? (With the 3 OOC gone/ 3 Staying/ dreaming)

For Me if the three go, I would have to be dreaming to improve the squad - summer would look something like… Bradley replace Trent, Bastoni for VVD but also looking at someone like Hincapie or Huijsen (young and already go and do a very good job), look at bringing Kerkez in with either Robbo/ Tsimikas going, bringing in Baleba for competition on the Midfield, I would look at Bakayoko as a salah replacement, but would also try and bring in a “proper” 10 to try and replace goals, I think either Jota/ Nunez goes, so dreaming again throw big money at Isak (would cost a bomb with him and Bastoni but letting the three go is huge) . If Diaz gets a move to Barcelona i would be bringing in a younger LW for competition for Gakpo maybe someone like Nusa.

It’s similar if the 3 stay in my eyes - look at the two young CBs for rotation and future proofing - Kerkez for one of the LBs, a young player like Bakayoko as a Salah rotation option with the view of replacing. I think that strengthens us.

In Dream Land it would be Bastoni for VVD - Rodrygo for Salah - Bradley for Trent with money going on Isak.

Like I said it’s all fantasy stuff but I think there are a couple of gems out there who could make our squad frightening! Who would you guys be looking at for a big summer as promised?

Sofa_Fan

1.) 06 Feb 2025 12:16:35
I like most of those shouts, would love Bastoni. For me

LB - Kirkez
CB - Scalvini/ Hujsen
DM - Baleba
LW - (If Diaz leaves) - Barcola/ Gittens
RW - I'd wait another year and try to get Olise out of Bayern
ST - Isak (if both Darwin and Jota leave)

That's some serious outlay and about as likely to happen as Ruben Amorim is to see the season out. But I'm all for a bit of fantasy.


2.) 06 Feb 2025 12:23:11
Scalvini would be my pick but never happening.


3.) 06 Feb 2025 13:35:16
Cb per kroldrup
Lw Aidan mcgeady
St Brett angell
Gk the monk ( mean machine ) or Richard wright.


4.) 06 Feb 2025 13:49:32
Dream signings (because it’s fun)

LB: Davies
CB: Bastoni
CM: Valverde
ST: Isam
RW: Rodrygo

Realistic:

LB: Hato
CB: Huijsen
CM: Baleba
ST: Cunha
RW: Bakayoko with Salah extension to bed in.


5.) 06 Feb 2025 14:16:45
Reckon we'd be able to get Jimmy Grimble off City?


6.) 06 Feb 2025 14:27:21
If we are playing football manager then I'm bringing in Freddy Adu to replace Salah.

Saviola as our new striker.

Defence, it's got to Ezequiel Garay. I'd bring in Collicini too. Collicini can play RB too.

I'm also adding Aimar because his class.

LB. The young Brazilian Marcelo.

Team
GK. Alisson
LB. Marcelo
RB. Collicini
CB. Garay
CB. Konate
DM. Gravenberch
CM. Szoboslai
LW. Gakpo
AM. Aimar
RW. Adu
CF. Saviola

We'll one hundred percent win everything with this team.

With this team and my god like a ability to turn back time when a result does not go my way, we'll be unstoppable.


7.) 06 Feb 2025 14:30:03
Dani Rojas.


8.) 06 Feb 2025 15:25:46
In 2018/ 19 when we won the champions league. I feel like we missed a trick that summer. We didn’t strengthen when we was on top.
Won the league the year after but we wasn’t quite as good as the previous year imo, and then we slipped further behind.
If we was to go on and be the best this season I’d want us to learn from those mistakes and buy some of the best players around in summer.


9.) 06 Feb 2025 15:27:45
Bastoni or Huijsen
Baleba (not convinced entirely but he has a lot of ability) or Bruno G (not happening)
Isak (don’t even bother with other strikers, quite frankly, Isak is an absolute sniper. )


10.) 06 Feb 2025 16:18:31
@Davey Sulls.

How could you not put in Tonton Zola Moukoko?

SHame about Cherno Samba's career. ;) ) )


11.) 06 Feb 2025 16:38:27
Jorrel Hato to replace robbo or tsimikas, whoever slot prefers to keep

Antoine Semenyo (to replace diaz if he still wants barca)

Matheus Cunha (to replace Jota or Nunez, whoever slot prefers to keep

Elliot Anderson (to replace endo and elliot in CM)

Dean Huijsen (to replace Quansah who i think we should send on a loan to a PL team)

selling Nunez, Diaz, Endo, Morton, Kelleher, Robertson, Doak, Bajectic, Beck, Chiesa should cover most of their costs.

I would obviously also keep Trent, Van Dijk and Salah.


12.) 06 Feb 2025 16:42:13
If all three stay; murillo, kerkez, mbuemo and baleba - if Salah were to leave maybe gyokeres but is a pipe dream.


13.) 06 Feb 2025 16:56:31
LiverpoolFC8, learn from the mistake of winning the CL and then the PL by 18 points the year after?
There's no pleasing some folk!
You don't always strengthen by signing players, you know.
The season after we won the PL we lost VvD, Matip and Gomez with long term injuries and then Henderson and Fabinho went down. You can do a lot about that but we still finished third.
I don't think any team in the world would buy three centre halves and two midfielders in case they lose five players with injuries.


14.) 06 Feb 2025 16:59:31
I still don’t think we’ve seen the best of Alexandre Pato.


15.) 06 Feb 2025 17:36:58
The only version of football manager I ever played was the Kevin Toms version in the eighties and all its telling me that we can sign is Paul Mariner and Russell Osman.


16.) 06 Feb 2025 17:54:53
Not sure there are any dream players out there tbh.

Long gone are the days of imagining Bergkamp, Ronaldo (R9) and Baggio in a Liverpool shirt are gone.

However, extending the contracts of certified dream players like Mo, Virgil and Trent would be pretty cool.

Seriously though, Hato and Baleba would add so much to the current squad.

If there are big outgoings, then of course we have a lot to do.


17.) 06 Feb 2025 18:27:34
Santiago Munez but he looks nailed on for Madrid.


18.) 06 Feb 2025 21:57:40
so many ifs, find it a bit overwhelming hahaha

but in principle without diving into the ins and outs, the players I'd like to see at the club would be Huijsen, Hato, Isak and another player for the midfield. Although if Endo was happy with it, I would be totally ok with Endo remaining in the squad to play that role. Endo's future would seem to rely more on Slot tho cos Endo seems content to stay and play whatever role he's given.

so whoever that midfielder player is I'm thinking should be an experienced and versatile player. I think between the youth of McConnell and Nyoni and Baj we have the 7-9 midfield positions sorted. Guys who cover cups and step into the first team when needed through a long season. baj may even break through next season, who knows.

In brief, I think we need a body in midfield but that it'll be experience to add to the squad.


19.) 06 Feb 2025 21:59:57
Latest getting reported on contracts is VVD very close (we’ve heard that before), Salah less so but still positive he’s staying, Trent gone, Diaz, Konate, Curtis all closing in on new deals as well.

Got to say if we close 5 out of those 6, with Gakpo, Mac, Connor, Szob, Darwin all on long deals we’re really well set for next season.

Add a new keeper in to the mix we won’t need too many new faces in the summer. Say it quietly but Robbo has played better recently as well so perhaps just two reinforcements would be enough, the young Ajax left back who we can ease in to the team and a centre mid to rotate.


20.) 06 Feb 2025 22:50:24
isn't Diaz on something like 70k? he could easily be on 130-150 and I imagine this is all playing into the number crunching.


21.) 06 Feb 2025 23:03:06
I have no idea who might be coming in, haha. If the work is being done, they are doing a good job of keeping it under wraps.

However, I would think there will be a significant change in the squad for next season. While I don't expect all of them to go, I could see any, or all, of Diaz, Jota, Nunez, Elliot, Endo, Tsimikas, Gomez, and Kelleher leaving.

So on top of the CB and LB that were already needed, the team could be looking for 2 or 3 attacking players (maybe Danns gets a shot also), a DCM (I like the link to Stiller I saw recently), and another CB.

I trust Slot to ID the players he wants and hope the team can get them.

Dream signing would be Camavinga and Wirtz, Luka Vuskovic, Hato, and another attacking player.


22.) 07 Feb 2025 00:06:56
Correct rigsby. I’m not happy with just that.
Someone once said this football club should be a “bastion of invincibility”. Im going to follow that guy he knew a thing or two.


23.) 07 Feb 2025 07:26:42
This season’s team is - assuming the accepted wisdom that if you don’t move forwards you go backwards - an obvious exception to the rule.

With basically Chiesa being the only arrival the squad that was here last year has improved by a double digit percentage. It’s like the old days when coaches actually did coach. It’s great to see and being a cynical old git it’s great watching the current generation getting its knickers in a twist because the club isn’t run along the lines of a very, very simplistic computer game.

@Daveysulls. Honestly mate, I lost 2 months of my life playing FM while on tour in the army signing those exact players. Honerable mention to Nigel Reo-Coker!


 

 

03 Feb 2025 14:41:24
Don’t know how well this will go down but fair play to Hendo for his “heated” press conference - I understand players are media trained but holding the media accountable and calling them bang out of order is fair play - would be great if Trent signs and comes out saying the same about the rubbish that is being reported.

Sofa_Fan

1.) 03 Feb 2025 14:58:25
Trents next press conference about signing a contract will be in Spain mate. he's gone .


2.) 03 Feb 2025 15:14:26
To an extent. I think the way he kept invoking his family was a bit cringeworthy. The media were accusing him of wanting to move to Monaco from Ajax, not of being a child predator. I'm sure they'll get over it.


3.) 03 Feb 2025 16:57:30
Not arsed about Henderson. Not anymore.


4.) 03 Feb 2025 17:21:28
i'd rather have TAA go than MO or VVD, ye can replace a full back far easier than a World Class Striker and a World Class Centre Half.

Congratulations to the Arsenal, and also confirming second place!

Suppose "IF" Jota stays injury free till the end of the season, that could be one signing we have made in the window, but usual caveats apply especially a big "IF", same to Gomez as well you could say also? they both could still have valuable contributions for the team till the "Fat Lady Sings"


 

 

08 Jan 2025 15:15:13
Bring on tonight! Looking forward to the new style of ball ? just for banter as I love Nunez but with MA saying that the finishing was poor last night because of the ball - Nunez will bag 5 tonight which will hopefully stop anything slightly negative about LFC being his fault ?.

Sofa_Fan

1.) 08 Jan 2025 16:02:56
Even if he scored 10 mate people would still complain about him missing an 11th sitter.


2.) 08 Jan 2025 16:13:24
I'm pretty sure people would settle for him scoring just 1 goal to be honest.


3.) 08 Jan 2025 16:19:17
I mean I would just like him not to attempt to get a red card.


4.) 08 Jan 2025 16:24:54
Exactly Livered 1 would just be perfect.


5.) 08 Jan 2025 16:32:26
Apparently an appeal has gone in for Nunez 1 game
Suspension.


6.) 08 Jan 2025 16:40:27
I find it extraordinary how he's managed to pick up 5 bookings when he's barely played. It's obviously because he gives 100% every second he's on the pitch (said with just a sprinkle of sarcasm)

{Ed025's Note - after that latest challenge he should be really facing a 3 game ban imo Rome, which would have helped Slot i imagine mate..


7.) 08 Jan 2025 16:47:44
I'm not arguing, Ed025. He doesn't appear to be learning.

{Ed025's Note - i think thats just his robust style Rome, its all cut and thrust with Darwin and his lack of composure especially in front of goal means he may well start fewer games than he wants to mate..


8.) 08 Jan 2025 17:16:23
Do you honestly think the fanbase are HARD on Nunez Salah?


9.) 08 Jan 2025 17:38:30
I know you asked Salah the question, Florian, but I'll give you my take on it. At the ground he has 100% support with fans singing his name, though, to be fair, there's not many words to learn! Regards to on here, as I hardly use any other form of social media, I would say opinion is divided. I want him to do well, to shut me up, but I don't think he will ever cut it. I think we will end up cutting our losses in the summer.


10.) 08 Jan 2025 17:23:53
If Nunez scored 10 tonight us fans wouldn’t have time to moan as we are all about Musk and pop up ads these days.

Nuñez is public enemy number 3. Nobody cares.


11.) 08 Jan 2025 17:32:06
It was always a matter of time before the fanbase turned on Darwin. I thought he had played pretty well until the Newcastle game. Before that, he was excellent against Real and his City cameo. That performance on Tyneside was a really bad one and seems to have depleted his confidence entirely. He is still trying but you can tell every touch is off now.

It seems like all parties are resigned to him moving on now. A shame as I have been and still am a big fan of him. For now, we need him to just stay available and keep trying for the team/ squad. You cannot fault his effort and passion.

14.) 08 Jan 2025 18:19:15
Pelican I mentioned this the other day but there is a huge difference between being critical of one of our players underperforming and turning on them.

Nunez is one of the most supported players at home games. Regardless of what he does the crowd are alway behind him.


15.) 08 Jan 2025 18:24:54
Whatever anyone says about that challenge on De Ligt, at least Nunez was showing some spirit and fight. More than can be said for some on that pitch.


16.) 08 Jan 2025 18:25:00
Nunez isn’t good enough. Just look at Isak. We bought the wrong forward.


17.) 08 Jan 2025 18:27:45
I won't be watching the game, tonight, as I'll be focusing my attention on stopping my pesky pop up ads. Alongside my solicitor, who's drafting a writ to Ed01.


18.) 08 Jan 2025 18:36:56
I don’t think supporters will turn on him, because they rarely do that with any of our players. What they will do, like with others in this present squad who may not cut it at the highest level or suit our system, is take a view at some point and almost be indifferent whether they stay or go.

I’d like all of our players to be an amazing success, and be an 8/ 10 or above each week. If they were we’d either win the league each year or finish in the top few which is more important to me than the individual. No one would moan if he scored a few, it could reignite him because he’s got all the raw attributes, and we need him scoring.


19.) 08 Jan 2025 18:39:31
HessleRedTom, you just reminded me of one of my favourite tales regarding Alan Kennedy. Apparently at half time, when he made his debut for us, he was so bad, Paisley turned to Joe Fagan and said "I think they shot the wrong Kennedy". I'm not sure how true it is, but why let the truth get in the way of a brilliant quip!

{Ed025's Note - love it Rome..


20.) 08 Jan 2025 18:40:51
VictorVaughan, I agree, we were crying out to go down to 10 men.


21.) 08 Jan 2025 18:44:49
More concerned how Arne will react if Spuds set up like Amorim on Sunday, after Carragher doing an eight minute slot on Sly Sports, highlighting how Amorim nullified Liverpools front four press, by utd goalkeeper kicking everything long, no playing out from the back and going over liverpools front four press aerially, so instead of our front four facing utds goal, they were turned purposely to face our goal.

"Well Done" Jamie hope ye never missed anything out for a re-edit. In the old days he would have been put up against the wall for betraying his own club, and I thought Neville did not like LFC.


22.) 08 Jan 2025 19:34:35
Doubt Arnes worried about Carragher killing his tactics.


 

 

22 Dec 2024 18:30:31
Just heard that VVD, Trent, and Salah are all doing the post match interview ?.

Sofa_Fan

 

 

13 Nov 2024 11:38:25
Liverpool have just put a round table video on YouTube with Ali, Mo, and Robbo - really enjoyable watch but what comes out of that is how much Mo loves our club and City - the inspiration he gives the young lads and new players coming in sounds unreal - I know you can’t do loyalty in football but his performances this year show that we should give him a contract so he has the chance to break as many individual records as possible just to cement him as one of the best players the premier league has seen! Worth a watch if you have a spare 28 mins - it’s just a shame that all good things have to come to an end and seeing these players who have given us so much joy leave in the years to come is gutting!

Sofa_Fan

1.) 13 Nov 2024 12:24:45
On back of his performances in the games so far this season he deserves a 2-3 year deal. He’s learnt to adapt his game as he’s getting older to still be a massive impact.


2.) 13 Nov 2024 13:07:23
If Salah continues the way he is going (as well as VVD btw), the club is going to have a hard time explaining to the fan base as to why they let both Salah and VVD go.

Cos at that point, both players (Trent is gone, imo) will have the leverage for a new deal and have all the cards on their side. The club will either have to pay up or face the fan bas's wrath should they go.


3.) 13 Nov 2024 13:50:12
Interesting to hear what peoples thoughts are on whos the most important of the 3 to retain.

I'd love to see all 3 stay but it could be argued that whilst Trent has the biggest sale value to retain he's also questionably the easiest to replace in the fact that we already have Bradley in the squad.


4.) 13 Nov 2024 14:29:44
@Sofa, I just watched the roundtable vid you mentioned and it was an absolute banger. Some great memories were shared in this video and they even went back to Robbo's, Ali's and Salah's younger years when they started their journey in football before they came to us.

And If anyone wants to know why Mo Salah has the mentality, focus and obscene professionalism he possesses, just give it a watch. You'll be amazed. Top guys, these lads and really great human beings.


5.) 13 Nov 2024 14:58:04
Just watched it as well. Agree, Mo is a mentality monster. If I had to keep 2 out of the 3 I would keep Mo and VVD. Still hoping we keep all of them.


6.) 13 Nov 2024 15:02:11
@sofa fan, i disagree. Kissing the badge and saying " i have been childhood fan of xxx club" are the definitive expressions of love and loyalty for the club. Both which were never done by Salah. He only shows off his abs when he scored. Hence no go for me.


7.) 13 Nov 2024 16:44:21
So the club just pays them what they want and for how long they want it to not incur the fans' wrath?
The fans that have no ideas how much they want and for how long?
The fans that also wanted to sell them so the club could receive a fee?
The same fans that criticised their manager for his loyalty?
You couldn't make this up ?.


8.) 13 Nov 2024 17:23:15
At times last season he looked on a decline big time, however this season he's been superb so far for us, some games he's none existent then Bam. Easily gets a 2 year contract.


9.) 13 Nov 2024 17:45:03
He gets a 2 year contract if he’s not asking for something ridiculous. Unless you fancy paying his wages Magico?


10.) 13 Nov 2024 18:02:31
I think because he hasn’t kissed the badge he gets more respect from me - he is a foreign player so the whole “I have supported this club since I was a little lad” is a joke - to many sports where players kiss one badge then move to another and kiss that one, I’m confident to say that’s a joke - he is the first in, last out, he is asking previous successful managers how he can become great and done this wearing our badge - the dedication he shows to be a professional (selfishly or for the team) he is doing it in Liverpool colours.

I seem to wake up each day feeling differently about who I wouldn’t mind going or they can’t possibly leave and it’s probably all based on the last performance - the old saying your only as good as your last game stick in my mind. Today it’s Mo and VVD that I feel we can’t let go, yesterday it was Trent and VVD tomorrow will probably be different but for what Mo has done for the club and how he still speaks about how successful he wants to be with Liverpool, I don’t want him to go at the end of the season.

The difference between Mo's situation this time and last time seems to be that it appears that he really really wants to stay this time. Maybe he has realised now that he has already given us 8 great years, he could potentially give us 2-3 more and move above everyone bar Rush and Shearer in the record books. And possibly he has fewer options in terms of moving because of his age.
Virgil i see no reason to not renew. He has shown no signs of physical decline in a position that doesn't require that much pace either. Right now it looks like he could be the best defender in the world for a few more years atleast.
Unfortunately, Trent seems the most dicey at this point. He has been much better defensively, but this system is not built around him unlike Klopp's teams. So he seems a bit less fundamental as compared to previous years. It would hurt a lot if he does leave though, and I just wish we sign all three.

And what do you think he's worth a week then pecker?

Great video thank you for recommending it!

Not for nothing but declan rice kissed the irish badge when he played for us. Yeah its different I suppose.

Kissing the badge means nothing to me personally. Salah never kissed the badge and he's still hear a decade after. Other players have kissed the badge at LFC and bolted at the first or second opportunity they got. Not sure why this act proves anything, IMO.

Is it just click bait that Newcastle are looking at Gyokeres in case Isak is sold to “Liverpool” then? Or would it be a case Jota is sold with Isak coming in and Nunez a squad player?

Surely if they would be willing to pay £300k to a 29 year old they would offer this to Trent - if he has said no to £300k it’s not about the money is it and if he goes then he wants a new challenge much better way to leave than no offering me as much money as Madrid so I’m off there.

Liverpool where always tight lipped on signings - if we pull out a LB (kerkez, Diouf, etc) CB (Hincapie) and cover for Grav (Gomes or Baleba (wishful thinking) we will be saving in 3 weeks time what an amazing job he is doing - it was under Edwards we didn’t have a clue just seems we have reverted back to that approach instead of “oh we’re after this lad”… didn’t sign - we don’t know what happens so can’t judge - if we then sell Nunez for 85m bring in a young prospect with the Greek lad and replace with someone like Oishmen I would say as a club we are doing really well - plus if 2 out of 3 stay with the contracts surely we would be saying how well the club is being run, that’s even before you add in what a delight Slot has been - amazing how people can pass judgement on things we all have no clue about.

I fully agree that Mo gets a contract, even if it means bringing in a youngster someone like bakayoko so that he could learn from Mo etc - I think what LFC will be looking at if there was any signs showing in the data prior to the legs falling of the midfields that year it did, no one could of predicted that from the end of the previous year - Fabinho seemed to drop of a cliff and Liverpool didn’t seem too see it coming - what is different about mo though is he is an absolute machine at the moment 1% of me things would that drop when he gets what he wants or is his goals this year I want to win everything! It’s just weird that he is saying nowhere near a contract so last year and we aren’t being linked with any RW?

What is Quansah 22? Younger maybe, no he isn’t a starter but given him credit last night he started next to Robbo who is struggling to play his normal LB position to the quality we expect and if remember right all three held the line but Robbo was playing people on side. He is young for a centre back and still learning his trade.

Last time I mentioned this I didn’t word well or people didn’t take it as it was meant - look at VVD, what a player he is world class in his position, because of his quality he has a aura around him like he is untouchable, so chilled out on the field and looks like nothing bothers him. He has earnt this aura because he has the skill and experience to do this - too many LFC players in my opinion try to replicate this aura but haven’t earnt their strips to do so - Quansah is so laid back and it looks like he is looking at VVD and thinking I’m going to take that approach but because of the difference in skill gap and experience he is standing out like a poor player which from last year we know he isn’t. It’s not only Quansah, Trent is quality but at times looks uninterested (he won’t be uninterested) but if your wanting an aura like VVD you have to be putting in 9 out of 10s each week, Curtis is the same in my opinion.

Quansah isn’t starting material currently but he isn’t meant to be, you need to have different quality of players in a squad, you can’t have 4 starting CBs in your squad as if the two main ones aren’t injured the other two “starters” aren’t going to be very happy with the lack of game time. What was VVD doing at Quansah age? Not making any mistakes? I don’t believe that for a second, we are so quick to call a young lad quality and then when they show poor form throw them under the bus.

Side note he isn’t helping his self with all the DMs and comes across as very young and immature but that’s where you want the older lads to clip him round the ear and get his head back onto football.

What I do worry about is that we are being in youngsters who apparently have bright futures (Rio kid) as LFC give young players the chance, but this doesn’t seem to be the case this season - I didn’t see much of slot previously but did he rely on the older players or am I just looking into this too much - this might be different on the weekend and as always will eat humble pie - just can’t believe Harvey didn’t get on last night after some performances on Sunday and last night.

Really wouldn’t want Harvey to leave but could understand it - I think he is and will be a top top player - if he goes to a team and gets regular minutes he will be absolutely quality and one I would always be like I’m gutted he left!
