Yeah but I'd argue that even on here people begrudgingly understand that he didn't have the correct mentality to do what players like Salah have. The worshipping on here is more to do with the insane talent he possessed at a time of desperation for the club.

Aside Newcastle fans, nobody else in this country really mentions him. From our point of view, he represented the opposite of the Ashley/Pardew era; talent, hope, entertainment. From a technical point of view, nobody touched HBA since Beardsley. He was outrageously gifted. Yes, if you want to be pedantic, there's a few reasons why top managers might not have touched him but that doesn't take away from his talent. Until Bruno, noone has excited me like watching Hatem.

Curtis Jones is miles behind Liverpools other CMs.

Trippier and Bruno.have had this effect on me. Completely forgot what a footballer looked like.

Villa could have 2 in last 5 minutes if they could finish.

It's this sort of Reffing that brings about sendings offs. Challenges left unchecked.

The refs are shit scared of certain managers, is more the problem. Fergie, Klopp etc. They are lunatics who put obscene pressure on officials.

Lads get a bet on a sending off.

Tasty.

Yeah fair enough. Perhaps not the number 1 option. He's certainly someone who we might low ball offer though.

Villa are playing well but you just know that they will lose right?

Douglas Luiz. 12 months left on his contract. Brazilian. Defensive midfielder.

Does this mean getting in the champions league just got easier for us?

I always thought players in the overrated category were players like Coutinho, not fucking Ronaldinho.

I think our intentions will be to be smart with our money but if we get to August without particular key signings they will get the chequebook out.

Cunt has blocked me.

They can't sign him until the window is open but they can have everything in place and announce it as "when the transfer window opens".

Juste our luck.

We already are comfy midtable. We just did it in a backwards way.

If we don't sign Targett immediately after the season ends, I'd suggest we have someone else in mind.

This is key. The more free transfers, or players on final year deals, we can get through the door, the more outlay we will have on other areas and more wriggle room we will have to sell players. eg. Lingard in for free. Miggy out for 10m Improves our squad and raises key funds.

Our current best team is: Dubravka Trippier Schar Burn Targett Shelvey Bruno Joelinton Fraser ASM Wilson Priorities: 1. Striker, because of Wilson's injury record. 2. Winger right or left, we lack so much creativity, ASM and Fraser need someone to displace them. 3. Central defender, I'm still not convinced either Burn or Schar are top 8 players but at least both have shown themselves as reliable. 4. Midfielder, in this position we have the luxury of going for either an AM or a DM because of Brunos versatility. 5. Goalkeeper, only if the right one comes along who can play put from the back.

3 signings of the standard of Bruno would transform us. Anyone can say they want 8 new players to walk through the door but when they are no better than what we have, people will soon whinge. Look at the way people go on about Wood. Let's get the right players, who are MUCH better than what we have. If we get 5, we have done amazing.

ASM looks way better with Wilson on mind. So does NUFC in general.

Only if 17 other sides in this league are also pathetic.
