Hi Eds,
Not a rumour but a question. Should Phil leave this window, do you see us going back for someone like Brandt? Or anyone else for that matter to play his role? Or is it more likely that one of the current squad (Lallana, Gini) may be the replacement?
Thanks.
LF.

I would say Brandt has less chance of playing if he came now and coutinho left than if we signed him before.

I couldn't agree more Mickmullin. I don't usually post here as I don't have any access to rumours and am certainly not ITK. I am posting simply as a fan from India who feels the same way as you do. I have seen liverpool open a couple of academies here over the last decade or so, as we have done in several parts of the world and call me naive, but I feel it would be wonderful to have a system where we seek to promote our best and brightest from the entire youth system to the first team.
Whether or not we have the money to go out and buy the latest 100 million pound player, I would like our club to be run in a manner where we teach our own kids how to play and show them a realistic chance of getting into the first team and wearing the red shirt with honour. It's ridiculous to expect the club to simply spend for the heck of it. CM is currently not a huge concern in my opinion and I am also all for giving Gomez a real shot instead of smashing our heads repeatedly against the wall to try and get VVD. Considering the position we've put the lad in, as well as ourselves, we might actually have to go in and bid for him eventually. But I really do believe we can win big things with our own lads, if only we persist. Barcelona, for all its glamour and star studded front line, was at its peak built mainly on homegrown talent. There is no reason for us to not manage to do the same, and not run after the latest player the internet is going gaga over. Let's not treat our players like iPhones; we don't need a newer model every season if the last one works just fine. Emre is going to be a great player IMO. He's definitely being seen as part of the German national team's future and we should also place our faith in him. I totally understand if he's unsure at the moment. I hope we can sort his contract out and move on to actually preparing for the next season in the best manner possible.
Rant over. Thank you eds for doing a fantastic job and maintaining this site. Wherever else would we fight and quibble among ourselves on the internet?!
YNWA.
