Geertruida

Issue we’ve got is he’s great in many positions but with a fully fit squad we have outstanding players in each of those positions. That naturally leaves him on the bench, and being honest he’d rather be on Liverpools bench than ours
 

Sadiki as number 6 again gives me the shits...no matter how bad Burnley might be playing thenm without a CDM seems suicidal to me.
 
I don’t see how we come out of this in our favour?

Could we potentially not just activate the buy clause and then tell Liverpool we want £50m and if they refuse he’s ours?
 
Again, this is guessing.

We don't know for sure we have an option.

Even if we do, Leipzig may still be able to recall him if we don't exercise the option.

If we do exercise the option, it may still require the player's agreement. Safe to say that won't come if Liverpool are in for him, especially with us not utilising him much.
We’d have to be idiots to have a player on loan with a recall clause up to the end of the window.

Agreed about the player’s agreement. They have to want to sign for the option to work out.

It’s unfortunate that he hasn’t been able to nail down a starting position in the side but he doesn’t get ahead of the players in his three positions when all are fit and would arguably be third choice in his preferred position. A move to Liverpool would make him first choice right back until the end of the season and put him in prime position for the Dutch squad for the World Cup and possibly in the team.1
 
Can we agree he doesn’t play against us?
Hopefully that as a minimum.

I could understand letting Guiu return as he's pretty much a kid, but I don't think we should be a soft touch over well established players and just letting the big clubs get what they want.

Perfectly standard for the parent club to be able to recall their player in January, we only recalled Aleksic a few days ago.
 
Only if we have a replacement
Should ask Liverpool to find us someone...then Liverpool decide that is better than Geertruida and Geertruida goes back to Leipzig, pissed off and signs for the Mags and score a winner at their shithole. Could happen....
 
Shhh don’t ask questions, it’s a positive just deal with it
The problem is I always get shit for being negative but I can’t see a way in much this doesn’t fuck us over. We also haven’t brought in players in areas we’re struggling and could easily slump down the league. We were abysmal against WHU with our makeshift midfield.

You get shite on here for suggesting that though.

Depends on when we have the option to do so

One of the tweets today suggests we can trigger it after the season
