Rotting corpses would do a better job than some of the left-backs we've had.

Just so long as their grieving mothers didn’t call us ‘Scouse scum’...

Watford looking more likely than West Ham.

 

Any thoughts on Ismaila Sarr?  Decent player, only 22 and Sadio Mané says he's "a good boy".

I think he’s potentially brilliant and a perfect fit for us if we can get him for £30M or less

Sarr has loads of potential but he's so raw and inconsistent, not sure we'd be able to rely on him not being shit 50% of the time.

An upgrade on Origi

[AngryOfTuebrook]

Who is worth looking at from Sheffield United, West Brom, Fulham, Newcastle or Brighton?

[The Midnight Rambler]

Lookman and with added piss boiling.

[J-V]

Lamptey

[3 Stacks]

Sheff U, Newcastle and West Brom have absolutely no one. Those squads stink. Brighton have Bissouma, Lamptey, and I don't really see it with Ben White but his name's been around for a while now. 

 

Fulham have a couple. Anguissa is pretty good. Tosin is pretty good. Even the feisty ginger Harrison Reed isn't bad. Liked some of the stuff I've seen with him. 

[Lee909]

Is this a thread on who will pick the bones out of our squad 

[Paulie Dangerously]

Lewis Dunk always plays well when I see him

That connelly lad up front looks mobile too

I like St Maxim from Newcastle, I think we'd turn him into a player 

Buy Brewster back and sell him to a newly promoted team for profit 

[Megadrive Man]

We were vaguely linked with Sander Berge before he joined Sheffield United. He hasn't exactly set the world alight for them but might be worth another look?

Lamptey is out with a bad hamstring injury. We've been linked with that Bissouma lad as a replacement for Gini.

[SlugTrail]

Only player I have liked the look of and it turns out he is on loan from Chelsea, Connor Gallagher looks quality.

He'd fit right in with us, then.

I think he was pretty good before his injury, showing some of the things he did while in Belgium, driving with the ball, winning duels, keeping possession and doing a bit of dirty work as well. He's deceptively quick. I like him a lot. If he can stay injury free, he's going to be a hell of a player. His first half-year was nothing special, not helped by the Covid situation.

 

I'd consider him if/when they go down, but he'll have plenty of suitors, so not necessarily going to be cheap.

[aRdja]

That Robinson guy looks pretty decent. 

[El Rojo]

Saw the same thread on thefulhamway just now. They don’t want any of our players. 

[aRdja]

Lookman

Andersen

[Crazy Dave]

I don’t think they’ll go down but if they did then I’d be tempted by Lookman. Thought he tore Neco Williams a new one yesterday and it was only their soaking up pressure in the second half that stopped him running riot down the flank. 
 

Looks like a younger version of Zaha to me. Would much rather have him in the squad than the likes of Origi and Shaqiri, neither of whom have pace or can beat a man.

Agree we should get rid of both Origi and Shaqiri if there are any takers. But Origi is at least faster than most slow players.

Looking at that list from two years ago, pace doesn't seem to be a huge asset in the PL.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

We are in relegation form.

[dave u]

There's probably threads on other team's forums similar to this where someone said they'd take Firmino if we go down and everyone absolutely roasts them for being stupid. For suggesting Firmino, not about us going down.

Pace alone surely wont take you far in football. Ask Usain Bolt.

Yeah, but that's top speed. Acceleration is definitely quite important because that's an attribute that is useful everywhere on the pitch. Sprint speed is only useful in loads of space when you can get a head of steam.

Lookman is on loan from Leipzig.
