Nah man, we were hoping that fees would go down in the last week of the window
I genuinely think that was mentioned wasn't it. Didn't that get reported?
Aye, it did.
Makes you wonder if Rafa would have been happy with Dummett as our starting LB but his injury being pretty bad has made him reconsider? Probably just the people above him being utter idiots as per, mind.
It's all I've known. 5th place season under the King is all I've had, and even that included 5-0 and 4-0 losses to Spurs and Wigan.
Oh my God me too.
You won the Champions League with Liverpool man
He's very talented tbf to him, he's just utterly thick. Which a lot of young english players seem to share sadly.
Disputing Pardews Southampton-theory?
Gayle isn't a Benitez type striker, IMO. His hold up play isn't good enough.
Disagree with this like, think it's purely down to his fitness. If Gayle doesn't trust his own body, how can Benitez?
I do get the feeling that this is coming from Rafa and not the idiots above him. The comments about Gayle not trusting his hamstrings, him being left out of the match squad completely on Saturday and then this all of the sudden gathering pace so quickly does it make it seems like Rafa doesn't want him.
I'm not sure either of those things can happen anymore.
We can still loan him after the window closes, right?
Seems an absolute waste to have him sitting as our third choice keeper. Also seems like a good way to make him think about his future elsewhere.
Think that rule has been changed. Not sure though.
(If it were to happen): eggs in one basket time imo. One major upgrade to the attack - whether it's a CF or a No10 -
would be huge for us.
Definitely. We don't need more squad players, we need genuine quality now.
