Punch it!

Walk away NOW!!!!

Walk away, now it’s a matter of principles.

Fuck off Palace!

You don’t know. Time will tell, let’s see.

I assume that Pep has you on ignore.

Yes I think we are getting into Europe but I’m not taking anything for granted like some seem to do. I think we are likely to do it. Say one bad injury to Isak or Bruno and it can very easily go not so good. Other teams have strengthened quite a bit too. Not saying that the other teams that look stronger on paper will all do well, but if it clicks for them and they are lucky with injuries. If we are a bit lucky then I think it’s too 4 for us, but so much can happen.

Easy to say. But it depends on injuries. Guehi added makes a big difference to the overall quality/depth. How it makes us much less vulnerable in this area if we suffer injuries at CB. Even more than we already have there. Also takes us up a level. Not just defensively but also in the build up when in possession.

Exactly, i know. But at the time people were like 😬😱

It feels like people think we have 10 quid to spend on a RW because we might overpay a bit for Guehi. The talk from the club regarding ffp/PSR definitely has worked a treat going by the sounds of it on social media and media in general. Yes I don’t think we have ridiculous amounts available, but I think it’s more of about finding the right RW that we can attract, and that doesn’t cost 65m for example. You see lots of financial numbers here and there with people trying to figure out how much we can spend. We probably don’t have tons, obviously. However I’m pretty sure it’s very difficult to guess even closely to what we actually can/can’t spend as we don’t have all the facts.

How much did VVD cost Liverpool ages ago? I remember most people thinking it was a batshit crazy price at the time.

Spot on! Need players that make a difference and not just signing quality for the sake of it. It’s expensive, but the right way forward. Soon we will be able to improve the squad by investing in to top top top young players. For now, 1st team is more important.

Good

No! But because I have seen him play in the PL for many seasons. He has quality. He’s a leader and a good character and has the right mentality. De Ligt is a big name and a massive “talent”. But he failed at Juve and Bayern. U lucky with injuries too at BM. My mates support Juve and they don’t like him that much.

So I’ve heard. I’m super tired. I was just gonna write something short but it ended up long and I couldn’t be bothered.

Hall will start, 100%. Hypothetically speaking if he doesn’t then I’ll be very annoyed.

He’s a has been. Career going in a downward spiral. High wages.

We will have to overpay, yes! But I still think it’ll be worth it. It’s more than a quality player we’re paying for here. Sometimes if you want something in life you might have to pay 20-30% more. It only is he top quality, but signing him is a statement of intent. The other players will gain more belief with him on the pitch and improve because of it. He’s as guaranteed to succeed as it’s possible. We could be signing another CB for 20m less, but there’s nowhere near the same guarantee that this player will be as good, or close even. Never mind hit the ground running from the off. We could spend 35-40 on a player that doesn’t succeed and/or struggles to settle or doesn’t see his future here long term to the same degree as Guehi most likely will. We talk about keeping players like Isak, Bruno, Gordon and so on. Do you think these players will give us much more time if they don’t see that we are taking major steps forward? They love the club but they won’t wait forever to see if we progress. Signing a player like Guehi will confirm what they signed up for. We have some ridiculously good players in our team as well as some soon to be very very good young players. What we need now is guaranteed quality over quantity. Adding the tiny tiny expensive pieces of quality that just strengthens us properly. There’s a reason that the pool of players that we are looking at is very very small. I know it might sting a bit for some of you. But it’s these last pieces of puddle that really take us to the next level. IF we get him which I think we will I’m sure most of you will soon have forgotten about the massive fee we’ve paid when you realise how much ONE player can add to the team on the whole. Get it done, it’s steep but it’s gonna be worth it.

I don’t want him. He’s good but limited in some regards. Wouldn’t mind a CM though, even though I can’t see it this window.

Why the sudden bump?
