Geertruida

That side of things changes a bit with SCR no? Plus the idea of headroom is a bit of a misnomer as we’d have to find another £12m profit next season to cover the incomings if we maxed them out anyway. It’s just kicking the can down the road.

It applies for the rest of this season. Afterm 30 June all bets are off.

Gertys unhappiness with his game time in a WC season was known a couple of months ago. I myself was slagged on here for mentioning it by a knaar nowt. Now if I knew about it then the big bods at the club knew about it. There’s seemingly been no attempt since to up his minutes apart from during AFCON. Which tells me the club aren’t over enamoured with getting him in full time.

Obviously sitting on the bench at Liverpool will be better for his WC ambitions than sitting on the bench at Sunderland. Though Liverpool seem to be in obvious need of a bit of steel in CM imho. A move to Liverpool will be another feather in our hat next time we go to loan a forrin kid in anarl.

I’d prefer to sign him full time though.

He will play RB for them and probably get more time

What had you heard that he was frustrated with game time?

This move made us play Hume in that fucked up role against West Ham. It made zero sense to have an international level player who’s good in the Xhaka role sitting on the bench while we shoehorned Hume into a right back cdm right sided midfielder role 🤣

What exactly do you disagree with or feel is made up?

I said during the West Ham game there must be something going on in the background with Geertruida if he can't get a start in CM with the line up we put out that day, and he also didn't come off the bench when we were crying out for him.

7 days later and a story breaks that he has had an agreement with Liverpool days ago and is on the verge of having his loan cancelled here to join them on loan.

I'd say it's a pretty spot on assessment to be honest.

Not an assessment to be fair, more like guesswork
 
I’m sure the club know what they’re doing, but this seems baffling to me, especially now that Xhaka is out as he seems the most logical alternative imho.

Not to mention that he is an incredibly talented utility player.

Or Liverpool picked up a couple of injuries to Frimpong and Gomez last week and this move has came out the blue. Geertrudia won’t of played a meaningless u21 game leading up to the West Ham game if he had a move to Liverpool in the background.
