He's been amazing for us imo.
And we don't really need the money
I don’t think there’s any point in a player that is always injured mate. He’s done well for us, but there comes a time for every player.
We don’t need the money to survive, but to balance the books if we’re paying £130m for Bellingham we will definitely need some outgoings.

I know he's injured for parts of each season and obviously he had that big wobble a good while ago, but to replace him would be very risky and it's one more player that suits our rotation system and won't be a disruption in the dressing room because of it.

I know what you’re saying but Dias, Laporte, Akanji, Ake, potentially Harwood-Bellis and/or C. Doyle as backups for Cups - we’ve got a lot of CB’s that suit our system.
Getting rid of someone that puts country before club and is injured constantly would free up a huge amount of money on the wage bill.

I have to agree with Mase on this.
Stones, is, imho, our best and worst defender. He has everything to be a top-top defender, but he throws it away constantly and is not reliable.
It is funny when his best form with us was in lockdown, when everything was closed and people interaction was limited.
He is likeable, but sadly, a huge liability.

When it’s a suspected groin you just know your fucked for a few weeks .
Alvarez needs to fill the void and Grealish needs to stop missing empty nets .
( His miss the other night was laughable )
THEY SAY SWEARING IS DUE TO A LIMITED VOCABULARY. I KNOW THOUSANDS OF WORDS, BUT I STILL PREFER "FUCK OFF" TO "GO AWAY"

Or Grealish, Alvarez and Silva with Kev, Rodri and Gundo in midfield.

Let's hope our players are not bamboozled by Peps tactics.

Haaland was in Barcelona at our Partner hospital but what everyone appears to be ignoring is it was a "periodic check up" routine by all accounts, NOT a new injury.
Everyone overplaying Alfing being quoted when asked if he will be fit "he may or may not be ready to play against Liverpool, who knows" which is now being reported that he said it's touch and go if he plays.

Exactly, Few days Vitamin D in the Sun, does wonders for the body. Didn't they have record warm temperatures in Spain last week , for this time of the year ?
Arse cold here again with snow, but supposed to get to really warm in the next few weeks,

all good for the pre-match mind games though. i'd be half tempted to bring him on as a sub after 60 mins to completely screw with klopp and the dippers heads. 30ish mins is plenty of time for him to score a hattrick
