A high-octane metronome?

Made me laugh.

And yep, you got it!

Smallman1 how come the scousers get to sign a player like that sub 30m and United get taken to the cleaners every time the chequebook comes out 🧐

Hursty

Jules72 Must have been a contract issue? If he was close to seeing a contract out and hadn’t signed a new one, better to take 25m than feck all

Amps

Jules72 Regardless of what we do on the pitch, the business side of our club is fairly impressive at the moment, such things don’t really float my boat, but it’s clearly better than the alternative.

All down to Woody’s superior negotiation skillz…

Hursty sure but still v good value

Old-Dutch

Amps

Yes, they are doing a brilliant job in the transfer department both in and out

Amps

Kumquat Two folks I know who are ardent Spurs fans are both absolutely adamant they don’t want him to come back.

How do they feel this morning?

Kumquat

Amps I’ve spoken to one of them earlier and they’re still unimpressed.

Do we know if it’s a loan deal with an obligation to buy at the end of it or purely a loan?

Amps

Old-Dutch We’re doing slightly better than 50% ‘working out’ at the moment I think, but the pricing always seems good. Interesting to see if Thiago and Minamino are considered a success in a years time… although knowing Klopp, Thiago might not kick a ball until December.

Taxi!

Old-Dutch

Think Minamino was a great bit of business, not necessarily for football reasons. He’ll be very popular in asia and will help boost the club’s profile and shirt sales etc. there.

Remains to be seen if he’ll deliver as a footballer. Make or break season for him

C_J

Old-Dutch in terms of footballing ability, I think he’s good enough once he adjusts to the style of play.

watching him play for RBS there’s no doubting he’s got genuine class 👍

Amps

Yeah, reckon Keita gets one more go as well, and then it’s the door for him too.

Old-Dutch

Amps

Think we’ll see a lot from Keita this season

Hursty

Never warmed to Keita although I’m inclined to believe the hype still.

I’d be starting Curtis Jones every game, that lad has talent in abundance and it’s clear to see every time he plays.

alistair

Old-Dutch I don’t but I admire your unwavering optimism.

Amps

Yeah, Curtis looked boss when he came on in the Leeds game, looked very natural. I think Keita has struggled with the game here, I’m guessing all his best YouTube bits where him playing absolute fodder where he got loads of room etc. plus all his injuries. Maybe having Thiago next to him will give him some more room.

Still want us to sign another forward or see Minamino get some starts / time.

Old-Dutch

Thought Keita was showing a lot of promise towards the end of the season. Scored a few for us.

Amps

Old-Dutch Yeah, think in my head he’s meant to be some sort of Super Mane who just ghosts through eleven man defences and the like, which seems like a bit of a stretch. Again, it would be good to see him get a few starts and boss a few games.

Amps

Old-Dutch First half, he’s had maybe one touch. Klopp out.

Smallman1

Scored a cracker against us but can’t get any consistency into his game.

Amps

This Jota chap any good?

Amps

Amps All boxed off apparently, anyone know if he’s any good?
