    With wij leaving and quite likely Milner

    I don't see them going anywhere

    we won't buy 5 players or so

    Keita and Ox wont be going anywhere.

    With Brexit Ox is the safest one of the lot.

    That seems like a good idea, keep the crocks and let Wijnaldum leave in the summer.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Wages, as you say.

    A lot of Football clubs are financially crippled right now, or are, as I think the case is with us, "financially okay long-term, with short-term cash flow issues" - not many will want to invest in what isn't a safe bet, so Keita and Ox are here to stay.

    Ironically enough, both have a shot from range and creative instincts - a sub appearance from Ox may be useful against Burnley.

    Agree about Gini.
    Anyone else get the feeling he's "checked out"?

    Unless someone at a German club has a momentary lapse of reason and decides to buy him (Keita). I can see someone taking him but we lose a packet. I'd rather we did if it meant we got someone who's fit for more than a week before breaking down. He's like a vintage car only not as good. Constant maintenance.

    I think TAA needs a rest.. I don't think mentally over come covid 19.. There does seem to something missing. I would play Shaqiri on the right and play Salah up the middle.Henderson/Wijnaldum and Jones in a 3.

    jones??? i wouldn’t even have him on the bench. he is total garbage, and does not belong at this level.

    any player that takes that many touches before passing is still an u23 level/championship player at best.

    we can play five in the middle, we’re not beating this lot.

    wet cold night away at burnley in january, with salad and firmino up front, when you are in the worst form is a foregone conclusion.
