    Morgan Gibbs-White

    If anyone thinks Marinakis would let him come here, after all the nonsense he pulled last summer, I'm sorry to say you're almost certain to be disappointed. He isn't a businessman that sets a value and sticks to it. He is, fundamentally, a murderous gangster (literally linked to murders and...

    Marcos Senesi

    It's more comparing this one to Robertson mate. Senesi - just turned 29, prime of his career, won Bournemouth's player of the season, coming off a really good spell with them, at his peak physically. Robertson - 32, in decline, Liverpool happy to get shot of him because his legs are gone...

    Marcos Senesi

    I don't trust these after the MGW debacle, but for what it's worth - Fab has now tweeted his customary here we go for this one. If it's indeed confirmed, excellent signing.

    Marcos Senesi

    My understanding is, he isn't actually a leftie. He's right footed but is so used to playing with his left that he's functionally ambidextrous (feet-wise). That's pretty valuable to have in a squad. If we must make free transfers, this is the standard we should aim for - a top defender in his...

    Andy Robertson

    It's not that Robertson is coming in as first choice - it is that he will essentially become first choice mate, regardless of what we plan to use him as. The reason is - Udogie is a sicknote that is injured 9 days out of 10. So, his 'backup/rotation', is in effect, his replacement because he...

    Andy Robertson

    I don't know how the window will end, mate. I only know it has begun badly, because now we have locked in to having our first choice left back be a 32 year old freebie that Liverpool let go because his legs were gone. This is part of the steady and continuous fall of standards that has been in...

    Andy Robertson

    Sigh. Not a promising start to the summer. The lesson you need to learn to get better - sign a player *better* than the one you have, so he takes their place and the older one drops to the bench. If we want a left-back, sign a top one and drop Udogie. But we seem to prefer signing cheap...

    Suggestions Pls

    Fair play mate, and I'll second this - happy to chip in to support a good cause if anyone knows one, to commemorate staying up in a grim year. :)

    ENIC

    To be fair, of the comments I saw, most were respectful, even if they were profoundly negative towards the owners (as is natural). I'm not sure I would have been as respectful if comments had been open on some of Levy's past chairman's messages - club would probably have put in for an ASBO...

    ENIC

    Pretty much. Though, the thing that gives me a smidgen of sympathy for Viv Lewis and her brother (and really, I mean an infinitesimally small smidgen here), is that there really does seem to be a generational passing of the torch going on at ENIC, from 90+ year old Joe, to his kids. The ENIC...

    ENIC

    Anyway, I hope no one reminds the club that they have left the comment section on, on both the ENIC statement and Carrington's letter from y'day. :D

    ENIC

    Thanks for sharing mate. Again, all the right stuff, but I'd rephrase the last sentence to say, their words in particular are worthless. Levy is gone. The ills he was responsible for are now your responsibility. You only get to blame him for your own incompetence once. This club deserves...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Absolutely mate. That last point is key - without Tudor's month of fitness drills, de Zerbi couldn't get the team pressing the way they did against Brighton, Villa and Everton. A lot of things came together to both put us in the relegation mire and get us out of it. Tudor had a hand in both...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Bayern, to a lesser extent PSG, and Chelsea. Hear me out here - Bayern - basically win the league every year even with a plank of wood in charge. Kompany isn't exactly Conte in terms of emotional intensity. PSG - see above. Their elevation to European success came with Luis Enrique, but...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Some of the ills at the club are undoubtedly down to Levy - they didn't appear overnight, and will not disappear overnight. But yes - very much a 'blame my predecessor' thing going on with ENIC and Vinai right now, and you only get one bite at that cherry. Like the joke goes - a new prime...
