Geertruida

Our defensive options without Gerty:

Hume
Mukiele
Ballard
Alderete
09
Reinildo
Cirkin

Hume, Mukiele and 09 can play in more than one position, but an injury or two out of them and we will look massively short.

I still think we need to get in at least one defender on loan.

Recall Seelt? Not ideal but its a body

Aye. He’ll be long gong at the end of the season. Imagine

We have leverage here my thoughts strongest in this window

You think Liverpool just woke up one morning and said call SAFC? I’m sure there were talks going on behind the scenes… if it’s in the news it’s probably a lot further along then people know!!

No, I'm perfectly well aware how transfer discussions happen, which is why I said if it's come out of the blue "which I'm sure it hasn't". But we don't know, so I'm commenting on a forum as people do. If it's come out of the blue then it'll be a struggle. If it hasn't (which again is literally what I said I suspect to be the case) then, as I said, we've hopefully got a solution lined up. We don't know either way yet, so we'll wait and see, but it's a discussion forum so we talk about it first
 
So Liverpool loan us a player with a broken bone in his back, that they knew nothing about. They have a long term interest in Geetruida, but don't sign him, and wait until we do, then want him. Do you think they wanted us to make sure he wasn't injured because their medical staff are a bit crap?😁
(Only joking by the way)

It'll all be alright and I have faith in the recruitment team. All I'm saying is that if we were going to sign someone on loan with a £2m loan fee until the end of the season yesterday, the loan fee will now be £4m as the other clubs will know we will be desperate and that's the way the January transfer window works.

What I’m saying is people make up scenarios in their head and react to them… I don’t think Liverpool want Geertruida just because they think we are desperate or we would just tell them to fuck off! No doubt the clubs have been in talks for a while.

Four of them are PL players. Hume you could argue is another and Cirkin maybe too might be, O'nien I doubt but I think he can cover occasionally. Now they're good as back up, but like in midfield with Mundle and Hume and Mayenda wide/2nd forward, if you're using two of them in the same midfield or defence then you're probably too weak at PL level. Same with Rigg and Seelt earlier in the season - it's lessened when there's strength around them, but at times they're just not ready or some good enough.

Geertruida's versatility has been massive for us this season.
