I thought that too, the epitome of a pointless bid.If Newcastle can really only scrape together £25m to bid for Wissa, there might be life left in the Livramento saga…
Who have we at left back if alt nouri grts injured?
Who have we at right back at all?
If dias gets injured or Gvardiol who do we have? Gomez is more proven than khusonov and certainly Reis.
Your answer is as expected.Ake is a perma crock
Gvardiol willbe playing centre half
OReilly is a no 10
Lewis and Nunes are shit at right back
Why do people think it is depressing to point out flaws in our squad?...its only a game....there is a real life out there and Im not sure how people cope with that if you think someones opinions on a forum depress them......i thought the snowflake generation was all in there early 20's but clearly some reside on here mascarading as hardened long serving football fans of this club...
Remember its just a game
Gomez is nearer 30 than 20, Reis is new to this continent .Not disagreeing he aint that good but he people are acting like Reis is beckenbaur and he has hardly played ever and looked decidedly ropey when he has played on a couple of occasions as well
I know where you’re coming from but you’re being a tad naive I think. It’s a fine line between discussion and argument sometimes, and my own view is there’s a place for both on the forum, as one person’s discussion is another’s argument.Why do people get so pressed on this forum about others having views they disagree with? Isn't the whole point of a forum to discuss things and share differing views? Why don't people just ignore or block people if they get upset reading their posts?
People are looking at history when saying we have treble winners there...yes Stones and Ake are fantastic players (nad have been) -but they are rarely available ...they are absolutely uselss if we cant get them fit and keep them fit for more than a run of 2-3 games at a time....if they were available we wouldnt need anyone but the fact that they are never available and that will probably continue means we need a decent and experienced centre halfGvardiol, Ake or O'Reilly at present. Who do they have if Kerkez gets injured?
And at centre-back we currently have a number of treble winners still available at centre-back, plus Khusanov and Reis. If I'm being positive about them, they must be pretty highly rated by the club to be signed at the prices they were.
So who is Liverpool's 4th centre back?
Facts yes - but do you think Ake will be available based on previous seasons?Your answer is as expected.
Gvardiol will be playing CB, yes. You asked who would cover Ait-Nouri and I gave three names, Gvardiol being one, Ake and O'Reilly the others. They are just facts regardless of your opinion.
Nunes and Lewis are the current right backs. Again, they are facts not opinion.
The cover for Dias is currently Stones, Akanji, Khusanov, and Reis. Again, facts.
Your posts are depressing to read because they are relentlessly negative. That does not induce depression, but it does warrant criticism. Try to think of what you are looking forward to about the season ahead just to give some balance to your views.
our erratic Janurary panic window with only Marmoush good enough.
Players have earned Peps trust/respect over time and the new players coming in will have the same chance. I agree with the argument why change when you are winning, we didn’t and we blew up but the positive of that for me is we are rebuilding.I don't think think we made mistakes in January. The problem is Pep loves his players who have experience and know what he wants and that's why the new players aren't trusted.
That's the problem and there's no fix for it other than shipping out the older experienced players.
I mean if you give him Iniesta, he'd play Iniesta over Gundogan and Reijnders everyday!
Facts yes - but do you think Ake will be available based on previous seasons?
OReillyis a youngster playing out of position - he gets exposed by half decent teams
Its fact that Nunes is NOT a right back - we bought him as a midfielder and before last season he has never played there..so no he is not a right back. Rico Lewis started as a right back and got usurped by someone who is NOT a right back - that in itsefl speaks volumes
The cover for Dias - some of them wont be available...Stones and Ake will miss more games than they play so our cover is Akanji and the two youngsters (one who maybe loaned out)....
If you think that is good enough to go for the title then fair enough...I say its good enough for top 4-5.
If people cant take someone pointing out flaws in the squad then fine....lets debate it..Im fine with that but saying its depressing is just a little weak at very best....disagree - I have zero problem with that
What Ive seen on this forum over the 15 years or so Ive been on here is that if you post happy clappy stuff then its all fine.....the moment you post anything about needing to improve some people jump all over it. Ivec ome to the conclusion that they are so delicate about the topic of MCFC that they just cant handle it....I wonder why?.....god help them on anything of real importance.

Don't agree at all. Pep out!Why do people get so pressed on this forum about others having views they disagree with? Isn't the whole point of a forum to discuss things and share differing views? Why don't people just ignore or block people if they get upset reading their posts?
The best manager in the world bar noneWhat do we have
Hahahaha....so so true
They can scrape more after offering 80 for Ekitike. Wissa just isn’t worth it. I feel like he overachieved and will flop completely on his own. Individually he’s not near Mbuemo + 3-4 years older. Newcastle would be dumb to pay more than 40.If Newcastle can really only scrape together £25m to bid for Wissa, there might be life left in the Livramento saga…
What am i looking forward to....watching the football again...I enjoy it win or lose.So, what is it that you are looking forward to then?
I don't know whether Ake will be available or not. And, as the transfer window isn't done until September, I am not worried a jot.
If players, like Nunes, cannot be moulded, the Joelinton should have stayed as a failing striker rather than becoming one of the most physical and powerful central midfielders in the PL. Coaching can help players adapt to new roles, and sometimes their original position was not right for them anyway.
I am excited by the plethora of young talent in the squad and looking forward to the season ahead. We have flaws like any team, but I would bet that the fans of other teams consider us one of the favourites for the league.
Me too.What am i looking forward to....watching the football again...I enjoy it win or lose.
