It's one injury, can't use it as an excuse. We've made a tactical choice here and so far it's not looking particularly good.

Pressing structures are none existent. We should just revert to our normal system.

No need for daft corner routines when your playing with 3 centre halves like.

Let's get this back 5 in the bin.

We couldn't ask for a better opportunity than this. Let's bring it home.

Waiting until 11pm here

Absolutely, he's played a full season with us barely missed a game and will also be playing a lot next season as well. Given he's been playing a higher level than this tournament for 2 years he has absolutely nothing to gain from this.

We won't be letting him leave.

Your missing the point, if the shackles were off they wouldn't be able to compete with us. Have you seen what the Saudis pay? The original point I made was we are feeding off scraps which is true. We aren't players number one choice but the constraints placed on us by the cartel rules are largely the reason for that.

Far too much is regurgitated about this subject for anything unofficial to be taken serious.

It absolutely is the consequences of the rules. Liverpool are only viewed as Liverpool because ourselves villa and city are not allowed to compete.

Good point. I do wonder if the keep plowing money in to that exhibition league after Ronaldo calls it a day. Players like Duran don't bring you any eyeballs despite the vast sums spent.

26 is peak for that position. He wouldn't be a "bad" signing im certain of that, but as I mentioned I'd prefer a more strategic approach. I wouldn't sign anyone who wouldn't appreciate it value at this stage.

You heard ought?

I can't either and if we are being honest that would make him as thick as mince.

I don't see Bruno wanting to go to Saudi.

He's got another year if I'm not mistaken and I doubt we let him walk for free.

I reckon Wilson and Longstaff. U doubt Eddie will want too much player turnover.

Your kind of illustrating the point with this comment. Lamine is 18. Nobody is saying Mbuemo is bad or anything like that, but he's probably at his peak and your paying a premium. We need players with room to grow and whom aren't at the peak.

They can't buy everyone can they

Aye yeah, rumours are he's asking for big money from Manchester red.

Agree with this, I wouldn't be unhappy if we got Mbuemo but at the same time I think we need to be more strategical with our money. We also need to look at central midfield because we lack goals from that area to take us to the next level imo.

Fingers crossed.

Aye they are choosing, we have to wait for scraps. Another consequence of these stupid rules.

Hopefully our lads are incensed and retire from international time wasting with immediate effect
