Geertruida


Still waiting for some benefit of the 'special relationship' with Liverpool from the Jayden Danns situation never mind this one
:lol: :lol:

Aye. They (or Chelsea) might chuck us a couple million quid extra in pity when they bend us over for Sadiki or Roefs in a couple of years
 
If that were true then the value of this loan arrangement is at least the value we've agreed to sign him for. He's effectively our player in that scenario.
Yes I think that’s normally the case, otherwise if it’s left to the players discretion the agreement would effectively be worthless.
 
Sorry like but this Hume stuff is getting on my wick. He had an absolute nightmare against West Ham but has been very good for weeks.
He’s cost us several goals this season, clearly a weak link for where we want to be. If that gets on your wick I couldn’t give a rats arse
 
Patto Diarra Talbi Geertruida Isidor Adingra Rigg Cirkin Onien.
That is the strongest bench we’ve had in over a decade? What you on about
Diarra was always going to come on whatever happened as part of his recovery. He was only a sub because of his recovery. Talbi, Geertruida fair enough. Patto is what he is and is the 2nd keeper so no choice really.

If you think Adringra, Rigg, Cirkin and Onien is a strong bench for the prem then fair play to you, most wouldn't. Its about which league not who.
 
I’d worry about Sadiki sitting but it could definitely work. Guess I was talking about the idea of direct replacement in that hybrid role. We don’t play 4-3-3 when we use it. Or at least when it works. It’s always been 4-4-2 variants. Think that’s part of why last week failed so badly. Reg was overthinking and asking Hume to be the sole moving part in some sort of 5-4-1/4-4-2/4-3-3 monstrosity. Unsurprising it broke down so badly.
Whats the alternative now Geetruida isnt/won't be available? I genuinely can't think of one.
 
I disagree. Imo, he been talking to them without our knowledge til we decided not to play him. Le Bris wouldn't talk about Geertruida in press conference on Friday, so obviously not happy with him.
Why is that your opinion there’s nothing to suggest it?

We know players and clubs agree terms before the clubs agreeing terms. It’s not unusual, it happened with Xhaka last summer

RLB will have ducked the Geertruida question because he knew he was likely off and didn’t want to give anything away

There’s nothing to suggest this isn’t above board
 
He's playing as a RB for Netherlands, he scored 8 goals playing as RB for Feyenoord. I never understood why we didn't give him more chances there.

Oh well, I wish him all the best! Quality played, good servant.
I don't understand how he never got more opportunities to play more full stop tbh.

Not sure I agree. He hasn't been overly poor either. He's been poor at times, decent and good.

..because it is my opinion. This is what this place is for. Do you know otherwise?
