Funky cold Medina, how many times …

I think he did, good memory

And our own TLW scouting of Funky cold Medina, don’t forget.

I scouted Funky cold Medina some pages ago, using google, looks like a good choice to me. Left footed, LCB who can invert and play LB. Welcome to the Medina transfer bus

Suggs is a big Chelsea fan

Let’s see how Endo gets on. What I’ve not understood since Ibiza Jorge started was if his area of expertise is the bundesliga, why weren’t we looking at their players ? So if Endo turns out to be worth a first team DM role, well played Jorge, now get out of Pacha, leave the Gary Abletts for a couple of days and get some more players in.

Didn’t the Super league want to do this, for all it’s problems a max roster and salary cap are great ideas from US sport, keeping things competitive etc but when his English or European football been run to be competitive and balanced ?

There’s a lot of cross pollination amongst some of the teams on this. The head of recruitment at Brighton went to Chelsea. I also read the other day, that one of the reasons Lavia decided Chelsea, bar our fuck ups, was that he was recruited at City, by someone who then went to Southampton and took Lavia there. The same guy has just this summer, in turn moved to Chelsea, so Lavia was recruited by the same guy for a third time. someone commented about our seeming inability to deal with the other teams successfully in transfers and I wonder if this lack of cross pollination hinders us. Jorg on his sun lounger in ibiza is a bit isolated

I think he probably could have done better, but he’s just not defensive minded is he ? In the same way a great striker is tuned to attack the ball, so a great defender has that same instinct. He hasn’t got that instinct. With Trent as RB his attacking positives far outweigh his defensive negatives and once we get the right players in, it will be masked as it used to be, by a better overall team understanding.

I thought the word on the street was we got agreement from his agent they’d accept our offer and terms, however, when Chelsea found out, they went back and upped the contracts terms. I saw £220k per week ? from our man LifetimeFan. So the agent told him to stay in London. I’m sure the player is getting little input, given he was dead set on Arsenal originally. So as I understand it you’re correct, teams do get the nod before they bid, we did but got done by the agent.

You say Caicedo is frustrated, but is he frustrated enough to agree terms with us ? Sky said in the it transfer show that personal terms agreed but not seen that anywhere else ?

He’s the Chelsea StRONanoff

Agreed, if we get him, there is no negativity but but we haven’t seen the lean yet, will he agree terms, Will Chelsea come back and match the offer … that Jorg is a lad isn’t he Chris …

See, Funky Cold Medina is the man …

True but he’s an intelligent experienced player and a better fit, for me, than Jones.

Mac is comfortable as a 6 he played there a third of the time for Brighton. I think he’s a better fit there than Jones. I like tonight’s team, let’s see how it goes. ps of course we need more sign8ngs etc

So the ESL band is back together then

They don’t, but we do. I don’t want us state owned, being self sustaining actually fits us, but if it mean’s we can’t be successful, would we accept that ? I’m quite positive about next season and I think we’ll be comfortable back in the top 4, but in 2 or 3 years time, especially when Klopp goes. I don’t know

That’s exactly it. More venture capitalists, another oil state, some shady Russian, a wealthy scouser ? the question of who would be suitable/acceptable custodians is worth a thread of its own.

Surely the ESL or something similar is more likely due to the Saudis prescience. Maybe with UEFA involved this time as they need to protect their product. In the same way the Saudis threw money at golf, divided it then got a seat at the table.

Agree with all of that, but for him to be the success we all want, he needs to add that composure to his game that was missing last season. Those moments when he has to think rather than just rely on his instinct. As I said, fingers crossed you’re right, I’m certainly on the ‘Darwin will come good’ train or is it a bus ?

Your boy had a bit of stinker in the friendly today. A couple of those moments where he’s not on instinct but overthinks. Fingers crossed you’re right

I’ve mentioned it about 100 pages ago, we’ve seen managers go to war with the owners and how did that turn out. Klopp is manager of LFC and will manage the team he’s given and to be honest I’m glad he is as it’s nit worth thinking about without him.

Have you seen him play ?

Like a fucking red eared hunting spaniel.
