Kirchhoff, good shout, every time I saw the lad play, he was quality.. a cheeky punt on the lad, add in the Klopp factor.. he is German afterall...
I don't think mourinho is a player breaker like van gaal was. the impression i got from van gaal was he would haul anyone with any injury out off treatment and make them train fully. HE broke a lot of players both years I think utd will have a solid 23 senior players plus kids (u21) De gea is solid at GK, romero won't last. RB is a long term project for them. I think mourinho will like Darmian and fonz but the old lads will be gone LB is shaw right now but who knows. CB is interesting. lots of things going on there. Bailly and smalling are good, the other two? CM is heavy Pogba and sneiderlin, herrera and carrick for sure.. rest? have to go 4 psots needed Attacking midfield. mkhitaryan, rooney, lingard, martial. they could do with getting shut of a few and adding another wide player ST: ibrahimovic and rashford.. they don't need the rest
Every team has a "3rd" 11 mainly made up from players drom the U21s.. Agree with MITO, can see a fair few from the second 11 finding their way out of the club, esp. if good money can be had for them. Regardless of Utd "having" the money, as a business, you always want to balance the books as best you can.
Its just for squad morale and stuff... look at the sour puss on a few of ours never mind theirs.. you need them gone to have the rest feeling right. this is why for me markovic must go. last time he sulked and ****ed off on loan.... fine rogers was useless but sulkers make a choice.
Could not make third eleven. Liverpool academy has not produced good players since long time. (Except Sterling who left)
He'll be gone, I think we want to off load him permanently not on loan this time, I guess its finding the right deal. If he had been pulling up trees in pre-season, then keeping him would have been a no brainer, but he hasn't Also, with the likes of Mane, Lallana and Ojo ahead of him and no Europe, he won't get a game, which will no doubt cause the sulking to intensify. Most of the dead wood or those players that didn't make the Klopp-cut will be gone by 31st August. Wisdom is still linked with Celtic. Lucas is close to moving to Turkey. Benteke will be a Palace player before the weekend.
Wouldn't go that formation but as of right now those are the players Karius Clyne Lovern Matip Moreno Can Henderson Mane Firmino Coutinho Origi Mingolet Randall Klavan Sahko Gomez Milner Stewart Lallana Wijnaldum Ojo Sturridge Manninger Arnold Wisdom Jones flanagan Lucas Grujic Markovic Brannagan Ings Benteke You can clearly see why everyon one this site and elsewhere is begging for a CM and an LB.
Grujic? He's not any 11 there.. Also, where's Ings? Ojo? Stewart? Milner won't be 1st XI this year. Think we'll play 4231 1 = Sturridge or Origi (Ings or Firmino as cover) 3 = Firmino, Coutinho, Mane (Lallana, Ojo, Gini as cover) 2 = Can, Hendo/Grujic, Gini, (Milner, Stewart as cover) Still would like a DM, won't have one when Lucas goes and a LB to replace Moreno.
I hope so but we will see... frnakly and admittedly they are not very good compared to the utd dross and hard to shift. UTd will have no bother barring players not wanting to lose wages in shifting valencia, young and the like. they struggled to shift valdes.
Liverpool are reportedly ready to battle with Arsenal for the signing of Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic. That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t the Daily Telegraph), who have stated that following the departure of former manager Roberto Mancini there are a few unhappy members of the squad. The Reds are said to be ready to capitalise on that and are leading the way in pursuit of the player. Brozovic, according to the report, would cost around £25.6 million to lure away from the San Siro. Here’s a glimpse at why the Nerazzurri value him so highly:
Everton buying Bolasie for £30m then.. No wonder were holding out for £32m from palace for benteke. Everton splashing the cash, but splashing it on current prem players from lower clubs. £30m for bolasie, £12m for Williams, £18m for Kone. Fair play to new owner putting money where his mouth is. I like bolasie, good player but is very hot and cold, £30m might be pushing it when Mane was £5m more and his goals/assists were better.
Bolasie is a classic fast runner for koeman. In the end the fees are crazy this year and I think we might as well hold out for top dollar.
Hes always caused us problems, he has bit more about him than that. Delafaou and Lennon are classic runners, bolasie offers a bit more of a goal threat and tricky to be fair.
