Yeah I think he started well and then fell out of favour but he’d suit that LCB position in our system.

I think I’d like one of the Liverpool 3
Definitely a top 10 starting 11 for this division, however no one is irreplaceable, I would put my faith in the recruitment team to replace anyone soldI think it’s such a shame having to let one of the 3 go, even if it’s Hamer, a midfield 4 of Hamer, Sheaf, Palmer, and O’Hare with Vik uptop would cause real problems, if we kept them and added a decent CB and LWB, the “Starting 11” could be a real prospect.
Mane’s gone to Bayern mate
That Williams looked like bambi on ice every time he played for liverpoolI think I’d like one of the Liverpool 3
I think so

Thats not good to hear.
I think this is going to turn quite quickly with supporters soon if we have a poor window.
We've done what we've been asked with Merchandise, Ticket sales, season tickets, etc
When people dont see that being reciprocated i can foresee the honeymoon period finishing
It certainly is amazing how we have no money every season
True. Probably around 45k per week there of players who are unused/substandard. Over a million a year. Might be a case of getting through this season until we can get these players off the payrollWell considering the amount of wages tied up in players deemed persona non grata it’s unsurprising. If the manager is willing to or trying to dispense with
Walker
Waghorn
Kane
DaCosta
Hilssner
And we also have tied down players who aren’t if we’re being honest of Championship standard such as
Kelly
Allen
Really it turns into quite a substantial sum that can’t be deployed elsewhere.

Lol yeah shocking maths45k a week is nearly £2.5 million a year. Too big a sum for a club in our position.
Only saw 4-5 games. I’d have to go for Tavares and Howley only. There’s usually a a surprise that comes from nowhere though.If two or three of the U23s step-up and help fill the squad that would be huge. Frees up wages for quality not quantity in first team recruitment.
Question to those who watched the U23s a fair bit last season; if you had to pick three to move up to the first team squad, who would you go for?
If they can free up wages from th first group these will be reusedWell considering the amount of wages tied up in players deemed persona non grata it’s unsurprising. If the manager is willing to or trying to dispense with

any news on Kelly? I know it’s been suggested on here he will leave because he wants playing timeIf they can free up wages from th first group these will be reused
We sold Thierry Katsukunya in January for a decent sum I believe.I don’t think so , think the sale will put money back into club/Sisu to “catch up” from the last 2/3 seasons , we haven’t sold a player for a couple of seasons and we budget to sell one a year and with covid etc . Think MR understands this but if he needs to bring players in future windows he has a bit of collateral . I think if more than one goes this would change

The issue is no mitigation policy on contract length - Hilssner and Da Costa got 3 years same as Hamer. Palmer’s record is sketchy at best and we’ve invested 3 years into him

Yes think the gamble in Walker and Waghorn is affecting us now in terms of wheeling and dealing both were our top earners when signed but Vik’s performances nobody saw coming and helpedWhich was kind of my point. Yes our ownership doesn’t help but with that much money tied up in unwanted players we’re also hamstringing ourselves to an extent.
Kelly especially probably ought to be moved on as well.
Sheaf is classPeople keep referring to the "Big 3", it should be a "Big 4" with the addition of Sheaf, he is top quality, on a different level to the rest apparently.
The others can't compete with him in training.
We have a real talent on our hands.

People need to be realistic, most important thing is the club not overstretching itself. We've already tried that and it ended in tears.
The owners clearly invest in players when they can. As mentioned above we haven't made a significant sale in a while so can't go spending what we haven't got.
Free transfers cost in agent fees, signing bonuses and wages, we need to temper expectations for now. If we make a sale then they will put some aside to make replacements but have to think longer term too
No he has one year left and will be in the squad , he might push for a loan if not being usedany news on Kelly? I know it’s been suggested on here he will leave because he wants playing time
That formation would be very narrow and likely see teams exploiting us down the wings. It would also make our attacking play much narrower, making us easier to defend against, and massively stifle Dabo, even if it might support McCallum's skillset were he to return. But given MR has said how Reid's weakness is his offensive ability and thus pretty much ruled him out of contention due to it, it would them seem very odd to bring someone else in and change the entire formation to suit those exact same things.I dont think MR or his staff give much away on what's happening behind closed doors. I would imagine lots going on and loads of managers, agents and players will have be in conversation on a daily basis. Most will never come to light of day, but MR definitely seems to been part of a change within the club on how they do business. I prefer it this way, let everyone else talk have your targets and if they come off great if they dont nobody is none the wiser. This way the club doesnt have to confirm or deny anything.
Signings will happen, thats the only thing we can be sure on and if i was a betting man id say progrress and improvement will be made to the squad ready for the new season under MR instruction. Who those are i would guess 2 more perms both defensive left sided. And then 1 loan in an attacking position.
Lastly just a thought, could MR be changing the formation to a flat back 4, and go with 2 DM, 2 ACM and 2 up top. If so the type of player he is looking at will be different to what we think. Palmer and O hare i can see behind the top 2, and can see Sheaf and another sitting in front of a back 4.
Was it ? My info is a bit differentIt was around 150k rising on achievement in the future as usual
Couldn’t agree any more with this postPeople get that
We're not asking for the world
From my view its basically, we've done what you've asked in numbers, now you invest for once. No ones asking for millions, just that CB that can shore up the defence, or the LWB that can attack AND defend
If we have a shit window and start poorly that place can turn toxic quickly as we all well know
Was it ? My info is a bit different
It was more a first team player that could command a big fee , Katsukunya would have been adds on based on future achievements that could or could not come off , Thomas,Harris ,Sambou and McCann are examplesWe sold Thierry Katsukunya in January for a decent sum I believe.
