Summer Transfer Window 2017

[bluestevon]

...makes waves. We know this to be true.

Regardless of all that though it's a serious omission so far from this manager to fail to get another LB in. It's not as if he hasn't known for a whole season plus a summer we need one.

I think he's bit dim in that respect. Too much obsessing on players for the centre of the park whilst the periphery of the team falls to pieces.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I think he's clueless at putting a team together.

Why did he have to put an entire team together Dave, did he inherit a team with a lot of holes and full of dross?

Using Squawka then as it's your choice of compassion site mate

Ahh fair enough Dave, you did however choose a weird stat to show aerial ability though i noticed, showing the % won rather than the amount per game like with other stats you showed, that would have Baines coming out massively ahread of Robertson rather than behind him, 0.73 compared to 0.3 per game

You left out Defence score as well which is an amalgam of all stats which factor in other things.

Baines 7.84, Robertson 3.02

Baines comes out a mile ahead in all their category ratings as well, Offensive, Defensive, Possession and overall score

Live by the stats die by the stats mate

Stats can back up and undermine. You asked for stats that showed Baines lagging behind Robertson and I provided them.

My judgement is primarily based on watching football for an awful long time, and I back my own judgement and think it's a sound one on players and what they can offer and no longer offer.

How many games have you seen Robertson in mate? and which ones where they?

On form today mate

I doint see room for progress with Baines. His powers are diminishing. Which is only natural.

He's a bench warmer on any other team with CL pretensions.

I'll have to agree to disagree ( you make a fair argument in an ideal world we'd buy bigger) and maybe I have a soft spot for him but I do think he's more than enough for this season and we can't replace every position.

 

[davek]

He will sit on the bench for the vats majority of games this season and a converted 31yo centre mid will play ahead of him in actuality mate

No mate. Read Klopp's words carefully: he states that Milner can play in many positions and that Moreno had a good pre-season.

He knows they are not best served there at LB before this summer and he's just paid £10M to strengthen it not to pay for a bench warmer.

He'll establish himself as first choice LB by the season's end is my guess.

Loads.

Isn't that what we all do...back our own judgement to be right?

He's good enough for a team with EL ambitions.

...perhaps that is us after all?

To be honest mate, you don't really know what you're doing most of the time.

 

[Brisan123]

Seriously since we completed Keane and Rooney all the players we've been linked with have been complete dross who would cost peanuts.

40/50 m for Siggy is peanuts
In what alternate universe is this a thing

 

[Brisan123]

WT ACTUAL FFFF?!

My sentiments exactly.

 

[Brisan123]

He's utter utter horse tripe

Nah he's a lot worse than that

 

[Niapper]

What's the discussion on about again?

 

[Brisan123]

Yep, WRD1878 said we were trying to sign him. Haven't heard anything in a while so it must of went dead.

I sort of went 'pffft who??' at the time but now seeing the clubs who are in for him he must have some bloody potential.

So refreshing to see we're trying to hoover up these extremely talented youngsters. The future is bright.

He wouldn't start in our first 11 or in any of the other 3 but we would obviously be his best chance of first team football in the future.
However money talks and we are not going to give an 18 yrs old half the money Chelsea or Manure will
