Here he is, mobile phone at the ready! 
You can bet your life that if anything happens anywhere in the world re. transfers, that mans phone is ringing. 

Ya seen that , that was so staged , was unbelievable

Could come down to the player pushing for move to us and Barca trying to push a move to Newcastle, if that was case it could drag on

The fact he had many of the stats about him , caps won for Brazil , what he has won in Spain , off the cuff is positive, either that or he is a master troll

When he was at Liverpool the whole team was built around him, it's a little similar to grealish situation, struggled when wasn't main man, same when loaned out at Bayern. If he ends up here , he is main man again and would hope to see him at best

The energy he brings is immense, must be amazing for McGinn and Luiz to play alongside him when you think not long ago they were carrying Ross Barkley

Needs to do it for 90 mins. Cameos and Glimpses here and there aren’t enough. 

I think he’ll get there but this idea that he should be starting is nonsense to be honest. He’s been average at best so far (and I really, really wanted us to sign him).

There also seems to be this fantastical idea creeping onto both Villatalk and Twitter especially, that the only reason he loses the ball is because he’s a risk taker and tries these amazing things. It’s just complete codswallop. He loses the ball making the most simple of passes and also when he gets outmuscled. 

A bit like that time Hogan wasn’t rubbish because all of our other players weren’t playing through balls to him..

I hope he’s a beast for us, but right now, he’s no better than Ramsey, Young, Sanson etc. I don’t think. 

Feel like you have decided he is a busted flush and would need to do something amazing to change your opinion, must say thought he was very good against city and you slated him, today he causing Liverpool nothing but problems but he hasn't done it for 90 mins(out of his control)

Can see games against the bigger clubs where young plays on left and trez on right

With the trippier link, can't see it myself but let's say it happens, cash has played in the middle and Gerrard like a center midfielder that covers a fullback, it feels like the position he was born to play

Think Gerrard’s system would really suit him, the onus isn’t on our wide players to track the full back as much as it was under Smith

Spot on, his biggest critic has been his lack of cover and stupid crossfield balls from deep, the higher up the field Bertie is the better, roll on the Bertie revolution

Wonder if a loan would do him the world of good? Dean needs a striker

For me this is the best version of Tyrone Mings since the championship, warrior, that header from last corner was something else

I've no problems with a player taking time to gel, the big difference between him and bailey is the work rate, even at his worst , he is gonna chase down the defenders Infront of him

A lot better, is still struggling to get to grip with the less time you get in English football compared to German, but definitely an improvement

My god that ref, thought cash was brilliant , under serious pressure with the yellow in 1st and kept his composure through out, nakamba aswel , starting to become the player we have been missing

Think this lad has got a pass off some because he is Brazilian, let's be honest it's close between him or Bosco Balaban on who our worst signing has been, id even have Ross McCormick ahead of him

Great shot of him celebrating Watkins goal as he is walking around the back of goal after being subbed if anyone can find it

Has had 20 good minutes since arriving, Anwar was a lot more effective when he came on

By far best performance of the season, looked a lot more comfortable with Ramsey dropping into help him out

Diamond with 2 up top or is Ollie playing from the left?

Not sure if this has been asked or not, how did Gerrard set rangers up for set piece? Zonal or man to man ?

Watching the Leicester Chelsea game here and not sure I can deal with much more zonal

Made to look better than he is by Grealish. 

Behind the obvious need for one or two centre mids, targett will be the next to be replaced. 

100% agree, for me he has been our worst player, he is constantly out of position and for last few seasons his work ethic has got him away with this, but this season has looked lazy a times

Flying over for his return, not intentionally but it's a game that lands perfect for me, be interesting to see reaction by fans to him, for me I'm over it and see him a man that did a lot for the club, might even clap him on but once whistle goes he is the enemy

Gerrard has been managing in Scotland but believe it or not he might know a lot about players outside Scotland

Julian Alvarez  - anywhere in front 3

Cheick Doucoure - CDM

Mario Hermoso - CB/LB 

Do all that for around £70M in Jan and we’ll have a very good second half of the season. 

Was supposedly available for 15million in summer, Looking like we would have to pay release clause now which is around 25millon
