Could be jumping the gun, but was also thinking about the confidence in FSG accepting this value set by the Saints as to whether this has been ignited by an agreement behind the scenes in principle between us and Barca.

I’m led to believe the deal broke down earlier in relation the instalments not being agreed beforehand.

I wouldn’t bet somebody like Sanchez joining us in the midst of all this next summer. We have to have a good run though in the CL, try and win the FA Cup and ensure we finish 4th. There’s a chance then we’ll show even more ambition and I don’t think it’ll be just about balancing the books.

Mav, you might be onto something there with Stoke to face Chelsea this weekend.

Thing’s aren’t at the moment looking too clever for Bournemouth and I think Eddie Howe’s job’s at risk too.

I believe there’s something in that Nine re Coutinho – most probably though in the summer giving the club time to shop for new attacking players and potential replacements.

It makes you think we the number of attacking players we currently have, not one of them really steps forward to take a free-kick or is purely and simply has that quality to unlock defences and stick the ball in the back of the net.

Going forward, there’s likely to be changes and I can see Sturridge leaving. Salah and Mane are fine as either side flank players, but we would need a new hitman and an attacking player of that Coutinho ilk.

I haven’t Nine, no. I’m not aware of Van Dijk’s fitness levels too. I suppose it’s just about easing him in nicely.

Cheers Pagan. That’s a shame – tough game away from home against Burnley – might have been a dream debut.

Just wondering whether the paperwork can be cleared in time for the Burnley game? He’s left the Saints I’m led to believe.

Maybe I could cut FSG a bit of slack – hahaha 😀

They will show us the money 🙂 🙂

There’s a slight feeling of fear come January that we could lose this boy. I was in acceptance back in summer, but the way he’s been performing for us, it would be very hard for us to let him go.

Nine, I would take that now mate with open arms. Nowadays the way the industry is, not many Managers now hold any real length of service beyond 2/3 years. Maybe at that point that could be an opportunity for a certain Steven Gerrard to step into some very big shoes.

Chucky, if the defensive faults are addressed and if Jurgen can formulate a defensive unit, then that would make us a lot stronger than vulnerable.

I would say though, Mignolet still has that howler in him.

I was thinking about this though and in all fairness, we’re probably talking potentially a good 8/9 years since Liverpool had a really good steady defensive unit. We’ve had players come and go but we’ve papered the cracks.

In fairness too, our Manager needed to get his skates on addressing these matters because in the long run it would impact his tenure and if he can get it right, he could stay with us for years to come.

When I tried to watch the game on tv yesterday and saw Sterling’s goal, the whole thing reminded me of 13/14. Everything’s just clicking for City.

We have similar styles but I think mentally, City are a tad bit more tenacious than Liverpool and know and are able to grind out results.

Good and welcoming thread – filmwise we could do with Julia Roberts.

Kim Wilde and a 1980s Page 3 – Linda, hahaha 😀

The least of my worries. So-called relatives. I have to protect my Mum and Dad. I love my Brother as he is on ball and was calm and cool with them; he broke the news to me, and I love him Candy 1992 Liverpool Football Club – Steve McManaman.

That’s absolutely true.

You need to be able to formulate a team with the right blend that will suit to the chosen playing style and also have the flexibility to other ways of playing.

I’m struggling to get my head around this and my reasoning is down to the array of players United are already equip with:

De Gea
Matic
Herrera
Mkhitaryan
Pogba
Martial
Rashford
Lakaku
Ibrahimovic

Is it really a case of wholesale changes or just fine tuning?

They’ve been pegged back which I find hard to pinpoint as to why but maybe it’s a matter of just simply being outplayed by Pep. Is Pep’s squad better or stronger? Maybe not, but he knows and is getting the best out of those players physical with their sharpeness/agility and quickness, that’s the secret.

He’s insisted I would imagine on those dropping their weight if it meant they would be enhanced in their speed – even by 5%. I don’t think a lot of the time Jose’s pragmatic approach does him any favours particularly when choosing 6-3-1. The whole idea this season was turning those draws into defeats.

Maybe there could be an area to work on ala the Defence, but they already have one of the best Keepers in the world. How much more buying can be done against 3 different Managers since Fergusons departure?

Rebuilding takes time.

No worries Jim, I’ll call it a day tonight. Just one or two cockey on here and ruffle my feathers think they’re on the top step and think they’re a little big for their boots and there’s no way they’re better than me at playing the game! And Argentina too – know that team top to toe from Mexico 86 and I love the game dearly.
