We normally bring them in late in the window as if they start early some usual absolute donkey (probably Michael Keane in this scenario) clatters them before they can even kick a ball for us.
Klopp’s number 2 going to City now? Could this lot make it any more blatant?
Pep: ‘find me a new assistant who’s cool with using PEDs as we’re switching it on big time this season’
‘That bloke who worked with Jurgen is free’

Article on the BBC about the problems Real Madrid is having with the noise from concerts bothering residents and they’ve now ended up in court over it. Could well be a very shrewd move by us picking up the waterfront location for big events...
The whole point of my post is I don’t think we do play a 10 next season, or rather we shouldn’t.
Ndiaye wants to come into that position too much, McNeil does from the other side too, so there’s zero point in also having a dedicated number 10...
I'm near certain the 2 years was just what was in the pre-agreed triggering clause.
Could be a few reasons but one might be we didn't really fancy him, but we were forced to play him because of injuries elsewhere, and didn't want to be stuck...
I think he could play in a midfield three.
If Ndiaye is a nailed on starter from the left win then he is going to be floating inwards into that ten position (like Pienaar did). It would make sense then to have some pace on the right to come in...
When the club made the loan signing they probably considered it a 3 year deal with the intention to always pull the trigger, was probably agreed with the player and agent too back in Jan
Weird that everyone’s assuming the 2 year deal is something the club has instigated rather than the player. He’s 22 and we’re his 5th club, maybe he and his agent want him to keep moving.
We don’t know what Thelwell agreed in January. Maybe one of Everton or Alcaraz didn’t want to have five years in an option attached to the loan so they brokered 2. Therefore the deal is he has his loan and if you trigger the option it’s this...
Maybe that’s what was in the option Thelwell negotiated, hence the wording from the club. If we reopened the deal perhaps it would have invited competition from other clubs. Maybe it was take it or leave it.
