Klopp confirmed Sturridge has picked up a thigh injury in training this week. Steer well clear, not what’s we need in a relegation scrap. (Potentially a great player thoug).

He also links us to Luke Shaw, Theo, a Turkish striker and says a deal for a player in France is close.

He’s an owners dream with the profit he makes on players. The VVD deal has shocked European football.

Our (physically) weak link. Always has been, always will be. Generally costs a goal a game.Smashing chap though.

Unreal front from the Puel out brigade tonight in spite of overwhelming evidence against them in front of their very eyes tonight. Could have had the decency to disappear overnight at least after the damage they’ve caused the club.

Since when has a Saints manager signed footballers?

Big up the OP. Clueless fans getting what they deserve. They won’t admit it though.

Lock this thread?

Bent. Did he sack/demote you Guan? The club will get rid of him if they think it’s right. This # stuff makes our fans look even more ridiculous, if that was possible.

"Non league standard"

He clearly has no respect whatsoever for Saints supporters so I hope we show him some of the same disrespect. Hope he breaks his leg in training.

He's more Neil Heaney than Rod Wallace for sure.

"When we had a front three of Pellè, Mané and Tadić, we ticked all bases" Same as Ricky/JRod/Lallana. Power/pace/guile up front. Our winning formula. We're completely missing the Ricky/Pelle figure now and the current pace/guile players are not as good as the ones we've sold.

I think fans will accept £70m +. You sound like you're softening us up though for a lower fee. No matter how "toxic" things are there's a contract and the club need to stick to their guns.

Looked very accomplished down the right. Getting a chance as Valery is injured according to Hesketh on commentary.

Don't see what advantage he's gained by making the transfer request?

Refs are very harsh on Long. He's had some stone wall fouls on him not given. i think the thing he does when he uses his pace to get in front of a defender then almost stops, causing a foul, annoys the refs so they don't give him other blatant fouls. Tadic is our Master Diver. Sound effects and everything from him!

Hope there's no tapping up

Sunday papers will be interesting tomorrow. Ex Liverpool players all making a few quid with their biased opinion on this circus.

Wanyama called in sick (stomach bug) on the day of Middjeland away. Thus avoiding a fine.

But VVD is Killer AND Claus !

Will be fascinating if he pairs up with VVD for some big games when we're playing an attacking style. Thought him and Yoshida were heavily protected by Puel in 2nd half of season tactically(possibly costing Puel his job). He showed some great quality at times reading play and using the ball but will need to get quicker and more muscular to become an established prem CB.

Absolutely. I reckon the club could also be looking at the standard of other teams players and coaches that seem to be getting stronger with the new money and maybe think we have to operate a little differently because of that.

McQueen looks comfortable going forward but having watched both closely I reckon Targett is a far superior defender. McQueen gets taken to the cleaners way too easily.

I'm very positive about Mr Pellegrino however the 9th place in Spain I take with a slight dash of salt. I know their top 6 is widely regarded as superior to the PL but what comes below that is also widely regarded as inferior to the PL which has more strength in depth/money so difficult to compare acheivements.
