Villa have signed so many players, I wonder if they’d let Birkir Bjarnason come to us on loan? He’d work so well with Rino, but more importantly, he’s Icelandic.

I’m on my own here, but I don’t see Miazga as a top championship defender.

He defended admirably at the end of last season, but I don’t think he’s all that.

I’d be very happy to be proven wrong!

Have Chelsea quoted £20m? Or is that absurd paper talk?... Pre Reading (a bottom quarter of championship side) Miazga had failed at Nantes and was reasonable at Vitesse; there is no real basis for a £20m valuation. If it gets to the end of the transfer window, Miazga might have a chance of coming he...

I honestly think Liverpool would be mad to play around asking for a fee- he should be at the club, on tour and already learning. A % of his wages wouldn’t even be a fraction of a percent in their budget- What REALLY matters is that their player is nurtured. 2 not-great loans at Sunderland and Ranger...

Exactly that. We need 2 central midfielders (Baker + someone more able to play defensively) and a striker.

Ampadu would be incredible for this team. As a defensive midfielder he’s exactly what we need. Would be STUNNED if we got him though.

If we got him, he wouldn’t block the path for others, he’d give the others a chance to progress in a better winning environment!

DC - Bielik, Hector or Tomori. Caglar Soyuncu would be amazing on loan, but that's even less realistic than the first 3 DMC - Ezatolahi! It's very weird what happened to him. He was the second coming before he got injured! AM - Wanderson Galeno seems to have been touted with a lot of excitement, but...

'Length of the contract' is bollocks. He'll accept 1 year with an option, and that is what would be on the table, IF something is on the table.

Ejaria is not in either of the teams to play Tranmere. Seeing as the first team are, on the whole, still away (Mane, Salah, Firmino etc) that makes him arguably not even in Liverpool's third XI. Could this also be a 'done-deal'?

Everyone saying we beat a pub team... Didn't the team we just played come 6th in the same league that St Josephs came 3rd in? Rangers just won 4-0 against St Josephs in a Europa League qualifier; we won 10-0 with a near full academy graduate team winning the first half 3-0. Ours was only a friendly,...

Smithies is far too good to be sitting on the bench at Cardiff.

How can someone be that thick?!

Arsenal are closing in on a deal for German goalkeeper Markus Schubert, 21, from Dynamo Dresden. (Independent)

If this is true, that we’ve got Bowen, it would be another example of how we’re not financially screwed.

I love the guy, but seriously!l?! Sell
him!

Left out of the US Gold cup squad.

Ranty, would you compare him to the ‘Raumdeuter’?

For me, Loader seems to be more like a Richarlyson or a Diogo Jota?

Have just re-read the O.P. and it has led to some mildly interesting discussion. I think the views of Pete on values are in many instances way off beam. I think he has failed to take into account that our squad consists of players just above Div 1 level and that is how they and our club is perceive...

Considering either McIntyre or Osho is currently notionally part of the first XI, it's strange to value them at one-seventh of a 15 year old who will probably never play professional football. Similarly, selling Bod at a loss despite this being the best spell of his career. I've certainly undervalu...
