Can you please link a source to this that includes those player names?
If the quote was in general about players and you added those names yourself I think that's very misleading.
From that example, I think we may be able to infer Gutter Boy's profession.
Sun or Mirror, though ?
He said "if they are the ones I don't want...(small pause as he thinks how to carry on)...to take us forwards". If I knew that's how my manager felt about me then I'd be angling for a move ASAP, sounds like TS has his mind set.
There are two,,,,,
The first is Lescott (yes he's a CB' but he has played LB)
The other ..............
Wayne bridge!
Baines is 29 so not that young anymore.
Also they're talking about over 21s and not "old" old so surely there must be more than just those 3.
Blaine's seems unrealistic so I left him out.
The only England lb I can think of from the last ten years is the guy who was at reading then went to villa, nickey Shorey.
Cole has owned lb for years with only bridge and baines as 'competition'

The Goat is hearing that Mark Hughes has taken a keen interest in borrowing Lewis Holtby.

I'd similarly like to see us loan Capoue to Liverpool. I think that would be a good arrangement for both clubs as they are crying out for a player like him.
I wouldn't. Why strengthen a rival for a top 4 place?
I don't see them as a rival. Longer term we're well ahead of them, but shorter term we won't get near them. Everton and United are our rivals for 5-7th this season. Next season we should be pushing Arsenal and Chelsea for 2nd.
No reason why we shouldn't be aiming for top 4 whilst we can still get there. Liverpool's defence makes them vulnerable. Don't dismiss our top 4 chances, at least not just yet.
But pool aren't our rivals for 4th even though we'll be on equal points if we win tomorrow?
But we're rudderless and are infighting. Even our far superior squad doesn't compensate for that.
