Cornish Steve Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 Carragher is just trolling blues and plenty fall for it every time. Quite sad really. It makes a bit of a mockery of his "independence" as a commentator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 It makes a bit of a mockery of his "independence" as a commentator. He's a normal person having a laugh. When he's a pundit he's fine and not biased. The sad comment was about the Everton fans, not Carragher. Matt and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EFC-Paul Posted July 4, 2017 Report Share Posted July 4, 2017 I actually don't mind him tbh as a pundit and as a bloke, as said he's having a crack and people's heads fell off far to easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jofanon Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Pickford Coleman Keane Williams Baines Gueye Bolassie Morgan Davies Davy Siggurdson Rooney Sandro Giroud Ross Lukaku I think we should be allowed to play 16 players - that a good team!

Bill Posted July 5, 2017 Report Share Posted July 5, 2017 Remove, Bolassie and Coleman who won't be back til Xmas, then remove Lukaku, Barkley, Giroud and Siggurdson, who won't be here and we are down to ten players. Bout time the club pulled it's finger out and bought a few more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 Just wondering what shirt numbers the new guys will get, Keane presumably 4; Sandro 9? Klaassen 7? Will Pickford get 1 if he wants it? 8 & 10 might be available soon too. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 (edited) Schneiderlin 4 Rooney 9 Sandro 7 or 19 Klassen 10 Keane 15 or 19 Mark, I actually don't mind Pickford having a high number. But that kind of outlay, he should be number 1. But if Morgan is still number 2 I'll lose my mind! Edited July 6, 2017 by StevO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderToff Posted July 6, 2017 Report Share Posted July 6, 2017 So... assuming reinvestment, who are the realistic Lukaku replacements? Is Mauro Icardi a possibility? Inter need to sell someone, they're only in Europa (think they are anyway), and he has an awkward relationship with the fans. Otherwise Anthony Modeste? If we go for him, I'd hope we go for another 18/19 year old wonderkid striker as well. Thoughts/ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DownUnderToff Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 Sandro Lol, ok. Then who are they going to "re-invest" the Lukaku funds on? I'd be pretty happy if they trumped Arsenal to Thomas Lemar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be pretty happy if they trumped Arsenal to Thomas Lemar... No chance, he's playing CL at Monaco why come here? Be realistic. The money is already spent on Pickford Sandro klaassen onyekuru and keane. Andre gray or the like will he signed as backup striker. Rooney played up top or in the front 3. That's it. Pickford Coleman keane Williams baines Klaassen Schneiderlin Gana Bolasie Sandro Rooney Mirallas Barkley lookman to rotate the wide forwards. DCL and gray the centre. That's the attack I bet.

London Blue Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) We will be signing at least 4 more players. Rooney Sigudersson or similar - Grey from Leicester for example. Back up left back Striker to replace Lukaku, who will be a proven goal scorer. Rooney will not be able to play 30+ games Sandro will play across the top 3 We will need a top striker to lead the line, if not Giroud then someone of similar stature. If we don't then all the signings we have made will be for naught as we wont have a striker who can get us 20+goals a season, which is what we need.

Yes, I agree that Lemar is not realistic (just hopeful). That said, Arsenal hope to sign Mbappe and they don't have champs either.Phil McNulty claimed Lukaku leaving would prompt further "heavy re-investment" by Everton. That may just be a Giroud and Gray, but I hope not. Still think Barkley is going, but Gylfi should replace him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 I doubt Arsenal is going to splash another 40-50 million on a striker after signing Lacazette. There will be more signings, that's for sure. markjazzbassist and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 10 players in will be a massive mistake. I hope we don't just spend it to look like we are reinvesting. We could do with another decent striker to compliment Sandro, but we don't need to find the next Lukaku just for the sake of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Blue Posted July 7, 2017 Report Share Posted July 7, 2017 10 players in will be a massive mistake. We need the positions filled tho. We don't have cover for Baines if Garbutt is not an option. We need a replacement for Lukaku, and another creative attacking player as Bolasie will be out till the new year, and we will be signing Rooney.

I understand the need, but as I've said for years and still maintain; massive influx of players is detrimental to the squad. 5-6 per window should be the max. It's why I said the other day, this is going to be a real test of Koemans managerial ability. We'll just have to wait and see, and I'm hoping I get proved very, very wrong.

I agree, a big influx of players can cause disruption to a club, but we have a strong core group of players that will hopefully help the new arrivals gel. The club is good at settling players in. I agree that will be a test of Koemans management skills, but at least the majority of the signings have been done early so he has a chance to integrate them.

We had - Howard, Hibbert and Ossie gone end of last season (I think), 5 outbound in the last 2 windows (I think), Barkley and Lukaku looking to go... We've got Coleman, Jags, Baines, Mirallas, Barry who are the only ones I'd consider core group, and 2 of them will be lucky to make the bench this season. Massive changes going on, which is positive but also potentially dangerous. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying for a minute it will go wrong or that Koeman can't make it work. We've just seen so many times a club "being ambitious" by flashing cash and bringing in bodies can seriously destabilise the squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
