I see Al Hilal and Neymar have finally parted ways by mutual consent.
Does make you wonder if there’s going to be a big bid for someone in the next few days…
Let the Nunez rumours begin again. I know his work rate and desire is there but I can’t help wondering the different animal we would be with an intelligent, calm finisher up top.
1.) 28 Jan 2025 07:40:11
Like it or not he is a crucial part of our squad, why on Earth would we let an important squad player leave when we’re pushing for all 4 cups?
2.) 28 Jan 2025 08:23:45
Al Hilal can’t offer us enough money to bring in a suitable replacement at this short notice.
3.) 28 Jan 2025 08:57:42
At this point in the window I doubt we'd get an intelligent calm finisher who's good enough, and we could do without panic buying another Andy Carroll.

Could be paving the way to try and entice Salah again in the summer or maybe they will try again for vini as their flagship star.
5.) 28 Jan 2025 09:42:30
With Jota injured there is no chance Nunez goes anywhere until we have a replacement signed in the summer.

@PB esp. since our other option has proven (with historic evidence) that he simply can't stay fit. Darwin is going nowhere this Jan BUT as the OP said, let the media circus begin.

So at quarter to 5 yesterday we were looking at a 0-0 away draw and 48 points, with Arsenal having the chance to go to 46 points with a win against Villa. ?
Instead, we’re the 1st team to 50 points with Arsenal back on 44. And we still have the game in hand. Appy daze. ?
Trent had some never say die attitude yesterday. They all did, but him especially, reminded me of Gerrard just refusing to accept the result.
Wouldn’t have minded a few more efforts from distance yesterday. We have players who can force a save from outside the box, we should consciously use that as an asset against stubborn opponents.
And we may now have the plan B blueprint for low block teams with 30 mins to go…Nunez on and get low crosses in around the 6yd box.

Pompey that’s all we did yesterday was shoot from distance. It was the lack of clear cut chances we weren’t converting that remained this issue until Darwin stepped up.
2.) 19 Jan 2025 16:39:49
We did Frode. But there were other opportunities when we were knocking it around the edge of their box when it was on, but we carried on probing.
Have a go innit? Especially players like Szobo, Trent, Gakpo and Diaz. Even Virgil.
Make sure it’s on target and react to the chaos, or maybe get a corner. Keep up the pressure, do something spontaneous.
This has been a recurring theme with us dominant in possession. I’d say sometimes peppering from longer distance can reap rewards and it gets us fans on our feet, creates momentum.

Can’t see Nunez getting another season from Slot, but maybe his transfer is to help fund Wirtz.
So if Wirtz happens, which seems generally accepted as opportunistic (eg: previously unplanned for), do you think the compromise might be we stick with what we’ve got left up top…
Has Chiesa ever played CF?

Cheers Macca, hope you’re doing well mate.

Antonee Robinson looks good at the moment but Ed has queried his defensive side and he seems very reliant on physicality, which is likely to drop off as he hits 30. At 28 already, this would be a short term solution and doesn’t appear to fit our criteria.
Don’t get me wrong, running faster, jumping higher, tackling harder are non negotiable, but I’d hope for more for our glorious club and preferably from someone a bit younger with room to improve.
19 Dec 2024 17:55:27
Not seen him MK but would prefer a CB or LB.
Thought Endo looked ok last night, maybe Slot might use him a bit more now to give Grav a break
Come to think of it, did Klopp try Endo at Cente half before? Think he was forced into it and it didn’t go too well.
07 Nov 2024 07:35:58
All just opinions innit mate?
But I’d say he’s the nearest player we have to an Odergaard or Guirmares type.
The best players are comfortable receiving the ball in any position and I think Mac could be that for us.
Certainly room for improvement but the core attributes are there for me.
{Ed025's Note - im still not convinced myself PR, i was one of them lauding up his arrival as at Brighton he was a special player, but i mist admit i have been somewhat underwhelmed up to now and all that play acting is really turning me off him, maybe when he was a big fish in a small pond it suited him more i dont know mate..

Vic, he came on and took a decent corner and then did ok. But he’ll never be as good as a prime Robbo. Too lightweight, unpredictable and tends to switch off. Love the fella but not the answer for any team with Prem and Champs league aspirations.
