Good to see photos of Ekiteke rehabing in LA, seems he may be slightly ahead of schedule, aiming to return during the Christmas fixtures.
Also, Mac getting less then stellar reviews for his WC performances, he was again a passenger against the mighty Cape Verde. All offers should be considered.

Anybody who wants Macca to stay are living off memories of Brighton's Macca.
The thing can't run, can't tackle, and when he does tackle, it's reckless.
Can't track back, does little to contribute to press, or aids in overturns. Rather bring back Phil Thompson and reintroduce Spearing.
Macca needs to be sold.

I didn't watch the Cape Verde game, but I think Macca has been playing pretty well in all the games before that.

He will still be far off. I will count him out for next season.

Yeah, seen the Ekiteke videos. He's working hard to get back asap.

Not a fan then, @Rob? ?

Ed, just curious if a player that get out injured for a long time like Ekitike, do they hire their own personal fitness team to get them back to full fitness? Especially during the summer break when all players will most probably on holiday.
{Ed001's Note - he will still be doing rehab work with the club overseeing and his doctors that did the op.}

Macca is still good. He just struggled against a far more physical and speedy midfield.
LFC won't deal with that, so it's best to keep him.
Cos looking at Wharton tells me they don't get it.

If Real are backing off Enzo and would be willing to switch sights to Macca, perhaps we can ask about Aurelian Tchouameni (ugh, PTSD) or Dean Huijsen.
Otherwise, I can only see it being Atletico as Macca's next destination. I understand they are expecting to sign two midfielders this summer.

Hope Macca has a stellar WC. He can put himself in the shop window. It will be good for him and the club.

He was terrible last night, didn't realise he was playing until I saw him come out of the tunnel at half time.

Macca was one of the worst players last season. I know the bar wasn't set too high, but he looked washed out.
