Glad the health tourist is to the point of needing a build up because he's missed so much time, should hopefully be ready by the time he's due back at Juventus.

He already pretty much is, contracted until June 2025 and I believe there is an optional year extension in there to, Brighton really don't need to sell him currently.

Im not sure I see Brighton letting him go in this window anyway, not with this short amount of time left before the window closes, if anything a deal made now for him to move in summer will be the one. That being said it's also absolutely nuts to me that a lad signed a little under 2 years ago with 1600 PL minutes is subject to offers of £60m+(which will likely be turned down) no matter how good/potentially good he may well be.

They really have become such a massive parody of themselves, it doesn't shock me they've already latched on to that incident as a reason to have already decided he's the best most blueshite manager ever. As above though annoyingly they've probably stumbled in to the right decision with this one, he's plenty experienced at getting his relegation threatened team to go on a jammy run of draws/the odd win to dig themselves out of their hole(even Burnleys last PL season was a close run thing as Leeds managed an against odds win on the last day).

Good good, he'll have those players run in to the ground before they play their next premier league match, he isn't the sort to stick around if he feels the team aren't buying in to his ethos either.

I don't disagree but i'd hazard they become a far less attractive prospect if they go down a league, which is very possible before any sort of buyout is completed.

Glad to see the media darling is once again being pushed at not being part of the issue, poor little Frank couldnt make it work. Fuck off.

Got to have some legs somewhere. Depending on what source you believe Messi may not sign a new contract with PSG which would leave them looking for a replacement in summer.

They'd be mad to take Bielsa on, he'll want six weeks to 'analyse' the squad and get them up to the fitness levels he expects while breaking a bunch of players on the way, never mind the fact he doesn't believe in defending. With that in mind I sincerely hope they hire him, least the banners won't have to be stored for too long.

Controversially i reckon Diaz ends up playing some games in the middle when he's back(to me it has to be in Klopps mind with us having ourchase 900 left sided attackers).

Something I'd not really looked at properly until today but we've scored 1 goal in the league(Faes turning it in to his own net twice doesn't count for me) since the Villa game on boxing day, absolutely dire given our next league match is 4th Feb.

In fairness Brighton drawing away to Leicester has been the theme the past couple of seasons.

More of a foul on him there that this cunt ref has been handing out to Chelsea players all game, Spanish sideshow bob then runs in to the back of Jones and gets a yellow, cant write this shit. No wonder Klopp is going off on one.

Lino got an over/under on corners because im not sure how you miss that one from where he was stood.

Was about to ask the same, wheres his card?

Yup, it's something that really confuses the shit out of me, I get that we have a plethora of LW players once Jota/Diaz are back and maybe Klopp is trying to get Gakpo used to playing CF with that in mind, but the other two will be miles off being match sharp for a good while, just play people where they naturally play FFS.

Ref continues to buy it on the most part so clearly worthwhile for them.

Or yah know play Gakpo where he has spent almost all of his time playing for PSV, stick Mo in the middle until Nunez can be brought on and play Elliott in his natural position.

Seems players join us and lose the ability to hit the target. He still gets a pass for now mind.

Swap deals rarely if ever happen, 100% filing this one under not happening.

Not the best analogy but I understand it... Effectively why would FSG reinvest the money they make from a minority investment/stake in to the club when it's more likely that will be used to fund their latest focus(I believe this is starting a basketball team in Vegas which requires some real pocket change) or a few new fixtures for John Ws yacht.

Might be the case but that shite Wolves team made our supposed starters look like they were the ones in a relegation scrap just over a week ago, far from issues resolved and normal service resumed but at least the team looked like it wanted to press/win balls back and had some intensity to it for the first time in a while.

Needed result, Marriner doing his best to try get Wolves a leveller at the end there.

Still miles from our best, but amazing what a bit of intensity/pace and pressing will do for you.

This is it for me to, that being said we are entirely the architects of our own demise.
