Heared a rumour that Barkley had a bust up with woy before tournament hope he doesn't come back with his head up his backside.

It's a good job the girl from stocking the freezers couldn't get off or it would have been more than 2-1.

27 Jun 2016 21:51:02
Euro brexit.

27 Jun 2016 21:56:36
Made up Ross and Stonesee didn't play, no blame on them for that embarrasing display, bye bye woy.

27 Jun 2016 21:15:25
Is it me or is Glenn Hoddle talking absolute bollocks.

It's not you mate, I was about to post the same thing.
Even Mrs RIB who knows nothing about football just said the same thing, commenting how our 6-year-old daughter makes more sense.

27 Jun 2016 21:58:25
On par with Townsend mate.

Palace have agreed a £31m pound agreement for batshauyi, I thought we should of gone for him if he didn't want champions league football.

Papers linked him with us for as little as £7.5 a couple seasons back when he was at Standard Liege. Missed a good player there.

27 Jun 2016 20:32:04
Looks like we're going to exit Europe for the second time in a week. Absolute rubbish.

27 Jun 2016 21:01:05
Apparently Sterling is playing because he gives us pace out wide. Sturbridge? Rooney trying to get the lads to move the ball forward quicker, then passes it backwards? Absolute crap.

Did you see the work rate of Pelle in the game against Spain? When was the last time an EFC striker put in a shift like that? Sign him up now.

27 Jun 2016 20:10:26
Was a little bit sceptical when he was mentioned as our striker but really have to change my mind. Works hard, holds the ball up well, flicks it on very well. Also knows how to play as a 2. maybe him next to lukaku? Leaving rom to run onto his knock downs and power through?

27 Jun 2016 20:27:24
What do you mean big Roms work rate was like that every game last year hahaha.

according to 'Inside fotbol' RK has put in a bid for 'Léo Lacroix'

Ed001 ( if your'e avaialable) have you any thoughts re his performances against the Reds?

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - I really can't remember him standing out to be honest. The Sion defence seemed a decent unit, well drilled. To be honest, with Koeman in charge, his system tends to work well to protect defenders and get the most out of them, in the main. So I would not have any worries about anyone he targeted.}

Thanks for the reply Ed. Never watched those 2 matches however they weren't 'goal fests' to say the least which kind of indicated to me the Swiss lads were fairly solid at the back.

{Ed001's Note - to be honest, Liverpool never played well in either, so it is difficult to judge him. If it had been played later in the Klopp era, it would have given a better idea.}

Would anyone take Hakim Ziyech from FC Twente?

We were linked with the lad a couple season back when he was at Heverneen (excuse the spelling) but instead opted to move to Twente, who I believe are in financial trouble and may be removed from the Eredivise?

Lad played so well for them that they made him their captain even though he's as young as 22-24 and had only been at the club for less than a full season.

Recently seen him linked with palace, could Twente's financial issues see this guy leave on the cheap?

{Ed025's Note - even though twente are in financial trouble they are unlikely to sell him on the cheap greg, he is very highly thought of in holland and im sure there will be quite a few clubs looking to acquire his services mate..

27 Jun 2016 11:53:48
Have we got any real transfer targets or is it still just media talk to fill the gaps.

27 Jun 2016 12:18:18
I would likely think that we will atleast give Mandanda a look because he's free and played and a relatively high level of football with Marsielle over the years.

West Ham picking up Feghouli on a free is great business, I hope we follow suit. (But of course splash the cash where needed)

Question for the ED's. With the up and coming move out of the EU do you think if will affect EU players with their consideration of moving back to an EU club. From what is being said all the EU citizens currently working within the UK will not be required to leave. As footballers often transfer between EU and UK clubs I expect once they leave they will find it very difficult to get back into the UK if they are not established internationals. Also do you think the UK teams will be positively or adversely affected and why.

{Ed001's Note - it will make little, if any, difference for a couple of years at least. After that, well it will make little difference then either.}

27 Jun 2016 12:22:52
Exactly Ed001 a commonsense approach at last and without getting into the Politics I would say that applies all across the board. People really are not stopping to think. You would think the majority of them never had an education.

{Ed001's Note - it is the millenium bug hysteria all over again mate. People just like to panic over nothing these days.}

Yep. . . 'Project fear' strikes again!
