The Woolster

Woodburn is only 6 months older than Brewster, has made 11 first team appearances for us, scoring 1 goal, and 10 caps for Wales, scoring 2 goals. Brewster was top scorer at the U17 World Cup, which was a great achievement, but Woodburn has achieved way more. That's not to put Brewster down, he's very talented, and maybe he'll end up the better player, but the evidence, and I'd say the eye test too, says Woodburn is better now.

Haven't seen any interview with him, but if he's happy to stay I'm fine with that, I've said many times he's not actually that bad a keeper

Yeah, Glatzel has had an extra year at the U18 level, Brewster may well have been banging in as many goals if he'd been with the U18s last season. Brewster also has that pace which Glatzel probably doesn't, which may give an advantage in terms of breaking into 1st team football at an earlier age. They'd probably compliment each other quite well in the same team Woodburn is the one though. David Silva type role for me

In case of confusion, only 1 of those two keepers would be fine, I'm not saying we get both

I'm not usually one for hot-takes, but here's one, Glatzel is potentially better than Brewster... I'm not fully on this yet, but I have been so impressed by Glatzel and looking forward to see how he does with the U23s.

I've liked what I've seen of Larouci. Only recently started playing a LB too I think.

Woolster's wishlist Lozano - from what I have seen of him, which isn't loads I must admit, Lozano would be a perfect fit for the way we play, goals, pressing, workrate, determination etc. Back-up keeper - I think that Adrian at West Ham and McCarthy at Southampton are 2 good, Premier League standard keepers who are sat on the bench at their clubs. They may want to leave to play games, but I'm sure they'd rather be on our bench than at their current clubs Back-up left back - No fucking idea. I'd go for a seasoned pro who could perhaps also cover at right back, like a full back version of Klavan. Wildcard - This time last year I was touting Son who was down to the last year of his contract. Well this year, Eriksen is down to the last year, and as yet doesn't look like extending. Would he cost a shit load? Yes. Is it likely to happen? No. But fuck it, its a wishlist.

Brewtser is no where near Rashford's level right now. Brewster probably isn't even better than Ben Woodburn right now.

The dead need to to take lost of breaks...

And the wildboyz have horses

I watched on delay and just saw him. Told the kids and they asked how I know him, decided to tell them from going to the match rather than telling them I make friends on the internet...

Not sure of the amount of times I've said to people who try to add up net transfer spending to show that we haven't spent much that they are not including costs such as agent fees which can be significant, so I'm going to try and pre-empt that with the figures published for 1st Feb 2019 to 31st Jan 2019, showing that we spent £44m, £17m more than the next highest team. Reckon a big chunk of that is Coutinho https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-6885975/Liverpool-paid-staggering-44million-agents-year.html

I remember, it was the "who do you think of when you see the shirt" thread

I feel like this thread, or one very similar, has been done fairly recently? I remember a few old Hummel ones being posted Anyway Tony, found a nice day trip for you https://mundialmag.com/blogs/gazzetta/mundial-classic-football-shirts-umbro-95-exhibition-manchester

T'was yesterday, but I'm going mad and making a weekend of it, gonna install the latest version of Excel. Thanks everyone!

"So what did you do on your 40th birthday" "Oh, you know, made an Excel chart for a shit joke to post on a football forum."

Ha, love it

Cheers Tony, and I'm looking cool, as per

I'm presumining it is one taking the photo of the other...

And the partner of Sue Perkins on the last page

I'm gonna crack open my third. The kid's match is at 10am, which is relatively early, so will see if I get past 3

Thanks!

Now about to watch our U18s FA youth cup semi final, whilst I plan the subs for tomorrow's match for The Woolsita's U9 team that I coach...
