Just looking up international results from the week. Netherlands played Malta on Tuesday. Didn't realise Carragher's son was a Maltese CB.
Oh and VVD scored; Frimpong didn't get on; Gakpo and Gravenberch played 1st half.

That Carragher thing is news to me as well! He’s obviously not that great given the result against the Dutch!
2.) 13 Jun 2025 10:59:02
Carragher's son plays for Malta?
I've got to be missing something big and obvious here.
How's that come about? Does Carra Sr eat lots of Maltesers or something?
3.) 13 Jun 2025 11:34:00
Carra’s maternal grandfather was Maltese so both him and his son James got Maltese citizenship earlier this year. Given that James plays for Wigan, it’s unlikely he was going to make the England team, so makes sense to me.

With the FIFA Club World Cup coming up, how many players are we thinking of the teams from South America in particular, will have a decent tournament and be in City's or Chelsea's squad next season?
Lot of young Uruguayan strikers in there for Fluminense and Palmeiras.
{Ed025's Note - i thought you would have seen enough Uraguayan flops to last you a lifetime mate..
1.) 24 May 2025 15:55:47
Classic 025 :)
2.) 24 May 2025 16:00:09
ED025, for every Darwin Nunez there is a Sebastian Coates. Absolute legend :P.
3.) 24 May 2025 16:29:26
Only one so far Ed. The previous one we had was great though, albeit a bit bitey ;) So we still have a 50% success rate when it comes to Uruguayan strikers.

What happened to our interest in Hincapie?
1.) 20 May 2025 11:06:10
How many Leverkusen players do you want? At this rate FSG might as well just buy the whole club as part of the multi-club model ?.
2.) 20 May 2025 11:12:27
It's in the cloud.
3.) 20 May 2025 12:50:36
MKS, that was funny. Now bear in mind that Leverkusen ain't Southampton. They will absolutely bankrupt us with the fees they will charge us for their players, lol.
4.) 20 May 2025 13:04:40
Leverkusen could be our new Southampton.
5.) 20 May 2025 15:51:10
With the fees they're quoting for Wirtz, Lamborini? I don't think so.

A post from shughes55 says about fans' concern over TAA passing ability not being available to the team if he leaves and we can get a midfielder who can do the same, along with the runs forward.
Who are those midfielders though? Is there anyone with that passing range - KDB aside - in the middle of the park?
Alonso and Gerrard were our last ones; Molby before them.
Who can do that and would offer the team other facets?
Names on postcards to the usual address.
1.) 10 Apr 2025 10:18:29
You cannot replace Trent's passing ability because it doesn't exist elsewhere.
We'll have to add more variety into our passing elsewhere.
2.) 10 Apr 2025 10:19:24
Sorry not been around for a bit. Struggling with what’s going on in the world right now and football isn’t providing the relaxing space it used to.
These types of players (TAA, KdB, Gerrard, Alonso, Molby and I would add Pirlo) are generational. They are not commonplace and pretty irreplaceable.
Sadly, they are also often under appreciated by many during their playing days and it is only when we look back on their careers we go “wow” what a player.
3.) 10 Apr 2025 10:27:20
PSG have Hakimi at RB who wouldn't hold a candle to Trents passing ability. They still manage to be fairly creative.
4.) 10 Apr 2025 11:03:44
@StE, sorry to hear about things not going so smoothly outside of footy. Hope things pick up and you are spot on about people not realising what they have until it’s gone.
5.) 10 Apr 2025 11:10:48
@FM, it’s the nature of the game - teams either play a certain way and bring in players to fit the style of play or adapt the way they play to make the best use of the squad they have (or mostly there is an element of both) . We’ll miss TAA (if he actually goes now that the Liverpool gangsta fraternity have ‘had a word’ ?) but the team will adapt. Like I have said, I can’t wait for the transfer window to see who the club thinks is surplus to requirements and who they want to bring in as replacements and then see how we play next season.
6.) 10 Apr 2025 11:13:29
St Etienne. Trent doesn't fit in that list of players you put up there esp since they're midfilders. yeah Trent can pass a ball but is not a top defender as they were all top midfilders who could pas n do a lot of other things.
7.) 10 Apr 2025 12:00:41
Well said WDW. Hope things get better for you soon StEtienne mate!
8.) 10 Apr 2025 12:16:23
Me too West, eager to see how ruthless Arne is with players surplus to requirements as much as im looking forward to new signings.
9.) 10 Apr 2025 13:09:38
Me too Florian, curious to see how ruthless he is.
10.) 10 Apr 2025 15:57:49
We’d need 2 midfielders. A creative 10 and a deeper midfielder who progresses the ball the to attacking players. Szoboszlai and Gravenberch are great but they don’t offer those things enough. Trent leaving means we need to reshuffle the team. Endo and Elliott out for something like Wharton and Wirtz/ Cherki would be good.
11.) 10 Apr 2025 21:07:26
Hope things improve for you stEtienne there's a quite famous song about walking through a storm. Maybe give that a listen to.
Fingers crossed for you and hopefully things pick up for you.

Derby re-scheduled for 12th February, 4 days after FA Cup 5th round and 4 days before Wolves.
February is hectic. 7 matches. Love it.

6-8 million? You having a laugh? markp08 is about right with his evaluation I reckon.
17 Jun 2025 12:43:10
Which Fofana? Malick? Fode? Datro?
Malick Fofana is Belgian, not from anywhere in Africa. What's the quote on about above?
09 Jun 2025 11:32:04
Worse return than most strikers. A goal every 6 games.
30 May 2025 21:02:18
Our other McAllister cost us bugger all. He too, was a steal.
30 May 2025 21:01:30
Why so weird? He's looking for a job. They want to give him a job and pay him money.
I worked at Lidl. Aldi offered me 59p an hour more. I went there. I have no loyalty to an employer.

Well that isn't happening.

Nice one Rigsby, made me chuckle.

You can hear the noise levels are low. The Boca/ Benfica game last night had all the Boca fans in one portion of the stadium.
It's interesting to watch it from a blimping at football perspective, but it's obvious so much of it has been geared toward US audiences. The phraseology (period; superior player instead of Man of the Match), players coming on individually with their name being read out, not coming on as a team.
I also think the whole ref-cam is such a bad gimmick and the way it's being played out - seems more drama than normal to keep the US audiences entertained.
I'm sure if our stats allow us entry, then LFC will take part - can't see any club opting out given the sums of money involved, despite the issues with fatigue or risk of injuries.
17 Jun 2025 12:45:22
He's painfully slow and not that clinical. Why would we do that?
16 Jun 2025 16:12:03
If we'd waited a few months and tried, we could've got Aguero for the same as Carroll.
