Geertruida


Well
No. 1 is Gary Rowell said:
Lutsharel Geertruida: A potential loan deal with Liverpool didn't fall through because of RB Leipzig. RB was willing to talk and open to a solution with the Reds and Sunderland. However, concrete talks between Leipzig and Liverpool didn't materialize because Sunderland ultimately wasn't prepared to let Geertruida go.

The Dutchman would have liked to move to Anfield, but will now finish the season in the northeast of England. Sunderland rejected the transfer and still have an option to buy him (~€23 million € ).

Well done the club for standing their ground. We normally sell at a cut price as soon as a player hints at leaving.

Do we just ignore how well Ballard’s played to shoehorn in a player just because Liverpool wanted him to become their emergency right back?

Shoe horn ??? He’s a Dutch international chased by top team in England who would you rather lose Hume or him ? We are stronger with mukilele centre back he gives us pace there

I am hoping that he has been left out because he was unsettled by the Liverpool approach. If he now accepts he is here till the end of the season and commits… especially with World Cup selection to play for …. then we could see greater involvement and effectively a new signing.

And that’s the crux of your argument, ‘chased by a top team in England’. Fuck that, players get in our side on merit, not because of their reputation. Hume and Ballard are both internationals as well btw.

Aye he should have started in midfield against West Ham.

Just because Liverpool wanted him because Bradley, Frimpong and Gomez are all out does not mean he has to start for us now.

How well has Ballard played for us this season man? Have a word with yourself

It's all down to how he reacts to this. We could be stuck with a player who doesn't want to play, or one with a point to prove.

If he stops trying, there's no way he'll get in the team, and we'll not bother wasting our money on him.
Other than having to pay his wages we haven't lost anything. Allowing him to go to Liverpool would have meant we'd lost a good player.
Fingers crossed he gets his head down and proves himself. Liverpool may lose interest, and we sign a good player

Regis has said several times in press conferences and interviews how much of a "good guy" Lutsha is. I'm sure he'll knuckle down and not be the sort to we the bed and unsettle the squad. I also dont think the culture in the dressing room and the strong leadership group we have would allow that.
