I haven't posted anything in so long. I like to read others comments on here. It's a very interesting read.

In my opinion, we need a LB. Milner is doing a job but he doesn't have a lot of pace. Most pacy wingers run him ragged. Teams recognise this and try to exploit.

Any suggestions/ rumours for LB?

Have a great Christmas fellow Redmen! YNWA.

I think Milner has done really well this season but I do think the idea was for him to play there until we can find the right guy to slot into the team. It seems to be a position a few teams are struggling with and there isn't an abundance of talent out there so we may be waiting a while.

Simple choice for me as I would love to see a Scot in our 1st team again and these 2 are the only Scottish players good enough imo Robertson at Hull and Tierney at Celtic. Scottish players allways win trophies at our club even Charlie Adam.

My concern with Milner is that if Klopp buys a LB to take over from him, then Milner will end up being back in midfield. And that's the last place I want him to be. I have no idea if Milner has a "must play" clause in his contract, but I don't want him to disrupt the midfield, as it is now.

Love Milner and the way he plays. Steady as a rock for PKs which is a plus. My only concern is, at 31, he will start running out of gas too soon late in the season and Moreno can be a liability.

If Milner ran out of gas then he would still have more than most players in the league.

Eds, are the relations with United so strained that buying one of their players is not an option? I am speaking about Depay (and I would also like Schneiderlin to be honest) . We had prior interest in Depay (atleast was reported he chose United over us, and the accuracy of that I do not know) . I think Depay could do well for the right coach, maybe charming, player hugging German.

{Ed002's Note - It is unusual for the clubs to do business and the reasons are all very petty. The relationship seems somewhat strained still and Liverpool were reluctant over making a payment to MU that they had to do last season. Add to that there is no interest in either player from Liverpool and I think it is safe to say that neither will be joining in January.}

Their players are not good enough for LFC 😛.

Why on earth would we want repay when we have ojo and woodburn coming through, get a grip.

What was the payment we had to pay them last year Ed?

{Ed002's Note - I dealt with it at the time it is not worth opening up again.}

No worries Ed.

Depay and Schneiderlin are nowhere near the quality we need. We have much better players as 3rd and 4th choice squad players. From them I'd take Shaw or De Gea and that's it.

Agree7 Disagree1

Possibly not for us but I do think schneiderlin will be a great buy for possibly everyone, either way good player for me.

Scherderlin is great mobile DM. Definitely good value under Klopp.

I have a feeling, all our direct rivals going to drop points this weekend. If we do well, we could see 37-40 to Chelsea by Monday end!

Hey Eds, just curious, with Matip injury being a bit troublesome it seems and possibly requiring extended rest or surgery, will that force Klopps hand to get a CB he might have gotten in the summer window in the january window? Jonathan Tah?

{Ed001's Note - a lot depends on who is available.}

17 Dec 2016 15:04:28
No club will sell their star CB in January and we won`t be paying the stupid money they will ask for hence, we move on.
