Rose has been pretty ordinary after coming back from injury. I suspect any suitors may not feel as inclined as they once did. This is a problem of his own creation. I suspect he will stay rather than leave for an Everton for his last pay day. In some respects I hope he leaves and we get Sessegnon.

I would much rather Toby stay. I think that would send a great message to the rest of the team.


The ITK says that Toby was majorly disrespectful to Poch and gave the impression that it was really bad. I'd like Toby to stay as well but not if it means the massage the rest of the team get is that it's OK to behave like that. Poch knows what a great player Toby is, so he must have been properly insulted to be where we are at the moment.

despite what Poch might want, the financial reality apparently remains that the mega-clubs have to make their moves first for the mega-stars (Ronaldo, Bate etc) before things settle down in the slightly larger pool where we tend to fish.

Whilst I can appreciate that the club are financing a stadium our transfer business was the same beforehand and I think it is more of the way levy insists it has to be done rather than us being strapped for cash, it hasn't stopped west ham, wolves or Everton from team building and they generate less money than we do.

2 with new managers the other just promoted....thats why theyre the exceptions at the moment IMO i.e over-hauling badly constructed squads. Our squad needs nothing more than a tinker relative to those 3.

You always need to look to improve, because standing still means that those around you will overtake you.

If our buying depends on selling the want away players then we need to get it done, so we can get in the players the manager wants.

The Shankley maxim was each close season L'Pool should look to bring 4 new faces, 2 to go into the 1st team squad & 2 for the future & it served them for many, many years.

Every club has expectations which is why a lot of fans are upset at the lack of business so far which as i have stated before I expected to be the case, but it also highlights business can be done on similar budgets or less than ours only that levy prefers to do it his way which of course is his prerogative.
I'm sure players will come in of that I have no doubt and if we can stay top four this time around will be a great achievement based on our business model.

Every transfer window is like ground hog day, the same people buying into the media circus of “The Transfer Window”, People sucking in all the media horseshit like sponges, it’s like everyone’s IQ drops by 50%. Sports “journalists” must laugh their tits off that people actually click on their lies, yet we keep lapping it up.

Can't sell them quickly if you can't find buyers for them, which seems to be the main problem.
