Fabulous bit of business the alcantara deal ed 👌.

{Ed001's Note - I am very happy with it. And Jota for that matter. Not sure about the Turkish centre-back as I have never seen him play but it would pretty much complete the squad. What surprises me is the lack of outs from United though. I would have thought the fat would have been trimmed by now.}

ED001,

I would have thought Smalling would have been going by now along with Mata as those two players had clubs interested in them.

Perhaps the likes of Jones, Rojo, Lingard will get raffled off this Christmas.

{Ed001's Note - very much mate.}

Yeah Ed001, Gutted with the window so far.

I expected the club to make signings to challenge City and Liverpool.
The fat as you said is another concern.

I think Liverpool have made two good signings, tweaks and good tactical ones, they fit in well. I expect you to go deep in all competitions. Maybe the CB situation for you alongside VVD is something but you know that better than me.

I am surprised United haven't got rid of a few, however, I sense unrealistic monetary expectations are behind that. All very well expecting Dortmund to drop their price but then expect to hold ours. My instinct is that is very financial thinking in nature, driven by those where the numbers in the accounts are more important than the actual situation. We seem unable to do a deal, to see the benefit of resolving situations and what it might improve. From the outside we seem to cling on too long in situations. Do the deals, take the hit, the benefits will be more than the losses in the books, unless the books are what really matters.

{Ed001's Note - Kabak is for centre-back mate.}

Yes, thanks, don’t know him. I often say partnerships are important at CB, I would expect you guys have done some good scouting as Klopp and Co do. Will be interesting to see the fit. Unfortunately I watched very good Liverpool CB partnerships in the 70’s and 80’s. If you get that right pairing right as well, it spells more trouble for us all.

{Ed001's Note - he is young so it will allow the Gomez and VVD partnership to flourish.}

Kabak is highly regarded ed001. He has age on his side and can either grow into the team gradually or be sold in a few years time for similar fee if he doesn't prove good enough. And he gets to learn from Van Dijk, who he admires as well.


How much difference can a week make Tris? From fans and media starting to moan about lack of signing to bringing in good players for bargain deals, the positivity around the club is great. It just shows how much easier it is to get players to join a winning team.
Also how did you manage to get Jota for circa £41m when he is much much better than Adama Traore who Wolves seem to want closer to 60_70m.

{Ed001's Note - he had lost his place after restart, which helped. Plus they had replaced him.}
