We've also got an issue with our home grown quota. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we play Brentford at home can we just shout F@&£ off Ben Mee for the entire 90 mins, I think we should start a petition. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So so limited. Only a daft side would pay over £15m. Slow and loses the ball in good positions too much. We won't get any bids of £10m and that's nothing to do with bomb squad. 2 hours ago, burchy said: Gerrard wants 7/8 out of ten performances every time you put on the shirt, he demands it. He isn't very good at getting them though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozvilla28 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Still reckon we're 2 players short in the squad classic striker and a attacking midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone seems to be forgetting last season he was constantly injured, he is a good player, easily good enough to be 4th choice and easily worth over 10 million if he is getting some game time.

It's not a strange comparison at all, I literally dropped the name of the least consistent PL player I could think of. You chose a black player that had issues from his youth and then compared him with another black player who plays football from the heart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Delphinho123 Posted July 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2022 Our weakest players are now Watkins, McGinn, Mings, Konsa, Luiz. Basically, the players that either got us up or we bought when we came up. These will be the next to be replaced over time. There is a strong argument that none of them should be starting for us anymore even if one has been named captain. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I’m aware we’ve got 9 homegrown, 10 if you include Davis I've been doing some digging on this and believe this is where we stand (players under 21 have been omitted): Martinez(HG) Olsen Steer Cash(HG) Konsa(HG) Mings(HG) Chambers(HG) Young(HG) Digne Hause(HG) - likely to leave Carlos Guilbert - likely to leave Augustinsson Luiz McGinn Sansom Buendia Nakamba - likely to leave Kamara Coutinho El Ghazi - likely to leave Traore - likely to leave Bailey Watkins(HG) Ings(HG) Davis(HG) - likely to leave So that's 10 HG players, 2 of which are either likely to leave or are unlikely to make the squad, leaving us with the bear minimum in terms of HG quota.

Steer should be counted (unless we’re not planning on registering him in the squad). Scottish players don’t count as home grown.

burchy Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 We’ve also got a fair few of the u21s that will be classed as home grown from next season too so I think we’re alright on that front (Ramsey, Archer - although not sure on his DOB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
