Geertruida

He's never going to sign for us. He probably arrived thinking he would be a starter and we have mainly shoved him on for 10 minutes at the end.

I imagine he can't wait to get away.
We need depth.. and he’s the perfect player. The club need to do what they can to sign him. He should be starting now xhaka is out
 

He was brilliant second half against spurs when he moved to central midfield. I thought he struggled first half playing exactly the sort of hybrid role that Hume has done well down the right hand side. He wasn’t the only poor performer against Brentford for sure.
Bissouma from Spurs? Could that be of interest?
 
Can we recall Dan Neil? :lol:
Tin hat welded down but if this Geerty situation has been brewing it does make the Neil loan look a bit odd. At the very least it makes our recruitment job harder in that we likely need two players to replace LG in the next 36 hours.
 
This has actually wound us up to be honest if true. The caveat being if true of course.

It’s all fair playing nicey nicey when we’re in the championship and need to attract players who want to kick on. But as a PL team, with aspirations to be a top ten regular, why would we not stand in the way of a team only a few points above us taking a very valuable player a few days before the window shuts, just because they need some strength in depth.

Of course Liverpool are bigger than us and the player will want the move. But you don’t see Brighton or Brentford just lying down and “not standing in players way”. They’d have Liverpools eyes out if there’s an optional fee they’d buy him and sell him to Liverpool themselves for a profit.

If there isn’t an optional fee, why not just keep him till the end of the season. May as well use the asset we have.

By the sounds of it, we’re now forced to find a replacement a few days before the window shuts (a window that everyone is saying there’s a struggle to do deals at a reasonable price). Or we’re left short in a couple of positions.
I’ve seen people saying that it’s crazy he can’t get a game for us yet Liverpool want him, as if it’s some sort of flex. It really isn’t. Liverpool are 5th and we’re obviously not finishing above them.
 
It's a fair point though isn't it? We are going to need another option
I’ve wanted us to bring another left footed central defender in all season.

Now I’d rather us bring in another midfielder if that’s all we can do. 2 would be ideal.

I agree we need someone else in at leave and I think we’re all in agreement here. I just don’t think we need to single o9 out in every post
 
Can anyone give a short description of the type of player he is? We are clearly wanting him to primarily play at RB as we have Bradley out for the season and Frimpong is injured too.

We will give you Danns as a sweetener don't you guys worry 😆😉

He’s only played right back once this season and that was for the Netherlands

He wasn’t great iirc

He’s good on the ball and composed done nothing wrong defensively for us

I was highlighting why we needed another centre back when he claimed we didn't.
