Hey ed02, ya smooth peach! A little bit of a MOTD fever, but any updates on Pereira from Nice? Also, is he seen as an alternative of Ryan Sessegnon or are both transfers unrelated?

Cheers and a nice evening!

{Ed002's Note - Pereira is still of interest to Liverpool but certainly not an alternative to RS.}

He was excellent tonight vs PSG scored a beauty and got an assist. Would be a huge upgrade on Clyne, who is so average.

Perriera and Sessegnon as our full backs next season would be huge improvement on CLyne and Milner. Both can cross the ball, very pacy and just imagine the link up with Couts and Mane.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - They'll be some passes to reach Coutinho over in Spain.}

01 May 2017 01:58:36
As long as we get champions league football Coutinho ain't going anywhere, I'd be worried if were a Celtic fan, dembele, teirney and Roberts all getting a lot of interest.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Roberts is only on loan and Dembele and KT aren't going anywhere unless there is crazy money offered and even at that KT would probably turn down a move right now. He's green and white to the core and has made it clear he's no interest in going anywhere for a few years yet. Dembele will leave before KT, probably next summer but as Ed002 has said we have put an unrealistic pricetag - in her opinion lol - on him which is just us saying hands off for now imo.

01 May 2017 08:56:27
If Fulham do decide to sell Sessegnon to us then they will make us pay big time. Clearly we want him, as well as other clubs. First team football will be his demands so I think we stand a good chance pending Fulham agreeing to sell him to us with previous incidents like Dempsey being our stumbling block.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed002's Note - He won't be making any such demands, he is a 16 year old child who has to attend school and can only train part time.}

01 May 2017 11:09:53
Sahko. Never saw him play before today but MY GOSH, he is amazing. He would send Clyne and any other RB in the PL into retirement.

Agree1 Disagree1

01 May 2017 13:23:31
Yep, watched him closely after ed002 said we're interested. He's quality, very good off both feet. Going forward he is dynamic, he attacks the space and his final ball is very good. He doesn't slow down the play unlike Clyne who needs at least 20 seconds to think of where to pass before playing the same 5 yard pass backwards every f***ing time. Defensively he's also quite solid, may need to bulk up a bit though.

Agree2 Disagree1

Sorry totally forgot about Roberts, don't think he's even played a game for city. KT may well be a huge a Celtic fan but by the time the season finishes he'll have won every honour possible. If an offer from a top club comes in which suits the player and the club then he'll be off. He'll want to test himself in a top league against better players. No point in him staying in Scotland as he will only stagnate his development as he is rarely tested bar in the European games. Similar story to Dembele although I do agree the rumoured price tag of 40 mil may well scare off potential buyers. Really like Simunovic, proper defender. Nearly positive that he failed a medical with Torino last Summer. One to keep an eye on, very talented.

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed007's Note - Honestly bud I know for a fact KT has no intention of leaving Celtic in the foreseeable. He's not even 20 yet and is living his own personal dream, when he was out injured he was travelling all over with our Ultras and in the standing section at Celtic Park. At 19 years old and playing for Liverpool, winning trophies and seeing your career progress would you have left? KT still can't get his head round where he is just now and knows he's in the best place.
KT still stays with his parents but has said his dig money as went up this year.
Simunovic is an absolute monster in the making, if he wasn't playing football he's be arranging smashing England fans at next year's World Cup! You're right, he did fail a medical at Torino, I think he caught it off Joe Hart on the flight over though lol It was a niggling back injury (might be wrong there) and Torino decided they wanted him on loan after the medical and Celtic weren't having it which turned out to be fantastic from our point of view.
Stuart Armstrong is another player that has came on leaps and bounds and is thriving under Rodgers, I know it's the old 'it's only Scottish football' but Armstrong reminds me of Stan Petrov back in the day under St Martin of The O'Neill.}

Spurs and Liverpool supposed to be looking at Harry McGuire of Hull. At only 24 years old could be a good shout.

I like Maguire, similar standard to the lad at Burnley but without the massive pricetag, yet.

Agree1 Disagree4

30 Apr 2017 09:52:26
Maguire is the one for me. I posted about him a few weeks ago and all the evidence was highlighted on MOTD last night.

His reading of the game and his ability to be in the right place are exceptional - just what we need.

Agree1 Disagree4

{Ed001's Note - MOTD? Says it all, their analysis is lacking in any substance without Hansen. He was under no pressure at all yesterday, Palace were dreadful, he did the same thing he does every week, charge out with the ball, except Palace just stood and watched so he could take his time and pick a pass. Usually he is pressured and gives the ball away. He is not top class at all. I would rather go for genuine left sided centre backs in Mee or Gibson personally. Neither are MOTD highlight reel players, but both are better defenders.}

30 Apr 2017 10:17:57
I understand what you mean Eds1 but at only 24 he has time on his side. Funnily enough I was in Greece about 5 years ago and this chap said to look out for young up and coming defender his name was Ben mee.

Agree0 Disagree1

{Ed001's Note - he is just not quite good enough, nor does he have the potential to go much further, imo. He is great for Hull, but he lacks the pace to work in a high line, where he would be exposed and be shown up as the average defender he actually is.}

30 Apr 2017 11:45:10
I'd say he was better than Keane because he actually looks like he can play football and defend.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hi ed 001Hull were playing Southampton not Palace yesterday

Agree Maguire is not top class but I think it shows that with good coaching ( silva) you can make defenders better. still hope for Loren to be decent as part of a revamped back line at LFC.

Agree1 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - shows how poor they were that I never remembered that when I sat and watched it! Apologies though you are correct, it was Saints that were dreadful. No idea why I said Palace.}

30 Apr 2017 15:15:30
Maguire is too slow and not good enough for LFC. I doubt whether Keane is either but then he idea of spending 50 mil on VVD worries me.

We should shop in Italy for def, Romagnoli or Rugani prob out of reach but the Italians do know how to def!

Agree4 Disagree0

If Spurs are looking to sign him, odds are Wimmer will be off. So I'd go after him!

Agree2 Disagree7

30 Apr 2017 18:25:54
Wimmer is a terrible defender, there's a reason Spurs would be happy to get shot of him, he's physical weak, poor in the air and has no positional sense.

Agree4 Disagree1

30 Apr 2017 20:35:33
Haven't MotD previously had a moan about Maguire drifting up the pitch and losing the ball too much?

Agree1 Disagree0

01 May 2017 11:10:23
Maguire? Really? Clearly, people don't watch games fully anymore and allow the "pundits" to watch them and just parrot their conclusions by picking and choosing where to say he was good and leave out his dreadful mistakes. I couldn't believe it myself.

Maguire is bang awful. Slow as a slug, can't turn, no pace nor positional sense, would be all at sea in a high defensive line system like the one we play. Sheesh! The only English defender I would take is Gibson as he is top class.

Agree0 Disagree1

01 May 2017 14:51:29
I think Wimmer is class. No shame in being behind Alderweireld and Vertonghen in the pecking order!

He is certainly not weak or poor in the air. Good on the ball as well. My only concern would be his pace (or lack of it) .
