All this talk about signing Mount, its not that long ago that Declan Rice was touted to sign for Chelsea to join his best mate Mason Mount. So now Declan is supposedly signing for Arsenal must be because his best mate is leaving Chelsea or...
And am I making this up but is Declan's Dad not a Liverpool fan? wasn't he in Istanbul?

Bellingham is a freak, I know it's lazy to compare him to Gerrard but he is very similar in the fact he has no weakness, he's elite in nearly every area.

Didn't see that match but that's quality output, especially against Bayern who have a very strong midfield. Anyone winning duels is a huge positive, one of our current biggest weaknesses.

So many talents around, really is no excuse for us to not improve ourselves dramatically.

https://www.sporting.pt/en/tags/manuel-ugarte#:~:text=Ugarte%20signs%20for%20Sporting%20CP&text=Sporting%20Clube%20de%20Portugal%20have,clause%20of%2060%20million%20euros.

Sporting Clube de Portugal have signed midfielder Manuel Ugarte as their latest summer reinforcement, with the Uruguayan joining through to 2026. The contract for the former FC Famalicão player, who was presented this Monday in Alcochete, has a buyout clause of 60 million euros.

Can't say i've watched Bellingham that much for whole games to say if he's close,but yeah Gerrard's a really tough yardstick to compare any midfielder against as he had every physical attribute you'd want married with a superior mentality and even finishing with his screamers from anywhere from halfway line onward in his pomp.

Yep, I'm not saying he is as good as Gerrard, or will be as good as Gerrard but it's the all round levels of everywhere which draws a comparisson for me. Exactly as you say every physical attribute alongside everything else.

I read reports of his coaches at Birmingham and if he had a weakness or was shown an area to improve he'd work hours and hours extra to reduce it. Elite mentality that.

Like Gerrard I reckon you could play Bellingham anywhere on the pitch and he'd be decent.

Really hope that is the case. I know he's playing in a struggling side, but with a player in that situation you'd perhaps expect to see the odd flash of brilliance that would make you think there is something to work with there, but I haven't seen anything like that.

Yeah, I've seen nothing special from him either. If he was someone who could come in for a about 10/15 million who could be rotational I wouldn't put too much thought into it, but if we're to buy three midfielders I wouldn't be hoping he's one of them, certainly not if we're only to buy two. In that case I could maybe get behind it if he was bought alongside Bellingham and an actual re-incarnation of a 21 year old Steven Gerrard  ;D

Be a shame if we lose Keheller. Hopefully, we'll be sensible enough to put a buy-back clause in his contract.

I'm sure we'd try, but even if we do we could only guarantee the selling club had to allow us to talk to him if we offer x fee. We'd then offer him a deal which he'd be under no obligation to accept it.

He's a fan, so I get the feeling he'd be up for a return. Of course, the state of the club at the time will play a deciding factor in his decision as well though.

Didn't see that we'd been linked to  Wolfsburg's CB Micky Van De Ven.

- 21 years old

- 6'4

- Left CB

- Very fast.  Sofifa "Acceleration" score of 76; "Sprint Speed" of 91

- Has played some games as LB.


His aerial duels is not that great, but he's 21 & more importantly has the height + physique with which coaches can work to add aggressiveness to his aerial duels. A player with his physical make-up can be improved aerially.

Think Tsimikas leaves to get 1st team football somewhere else. Hence a LCB who can be emergency LB will be targeted. Luke Chambers might be promoted as a more like-for-like alternative to Robertson.

I’ve no issue with this at all providing he’s a bit part player and not starting as many games as he has been this season. He’s a brilliant professional and has never let himself or the club down, not his fault we neglected to sign a midfielder.

I definitely agree with the latter part of your statement mate. Milner has been great for us, but the issue is resources. We don’t have money, and contract renewals detract from the budget we have available. We already have Hendo whose minutes need to be managed - why not allow him to slot into the ‘Milner role’ freeing up money in the process.

I was under the impression that the player accepted the terms of the buy back clause when leaving, so if we were to activate it in future he'd have no choice in the matter as he's already agreed to it. This could be absolute bullshit though.

Buy back clause is basically one that states if we offer X amount either after a specified or unspecified amount of time (depending on what is agreed) that the club that powns the player is then out opf the equation and it is then down to the player whether he wants to discuss terms or not with the buying club.

Is pretty much the same as a release clause in how it works, just that it applies to a single club (the club that initally sold the player)

Nothing has happened with us getting the investment though has it? perhaps we get a positive announcement soon but the fact the Mike Gordon is rumoured back in his role (which he left to focus on the sale/investment) and no investment has been announced doesn’t fill me with confidence unless it’s done of course

It will become very toxic to FSG if we don't spend the money we need in the summer. I totally get it that we can't do it every summer, but we've spent fuck all compared to two thirds of the Premier League over 3 seasons now, large part of the reason is their fault.

I've only so far heard Pearce say stuff in a poorly written, no new information opinion piece, which is his speciality since he lost contacts in the club for the shite he pulled against Klopp
