I'm not really sure why people get up in arms about a former player, no matter how good, not getting a totally different role at the club. Being a legend player doesn't make you a good scout/coach/caterer/masseuse so why is it such a travesty if he's taking a job elsewhere? He might be crap at it for all we know.

Well it's not like he had anything better to do.

That's not going to get him though is it? If it were then yes, I think he'd be worth the gamble. At that price I think you can dismiss his age due to his versatility. However I'd be very surprised if he went for anything like that amount. 8mill plus a loan of Cannon!

Where's that price touted?

Will we? They've at least shown that they can do a job in the championship, so if we do go back down, they'll be fine there. And if we don't, who gives a shit?

Though it's probably a bit of a non-starter it's being rumoured that Villa are dropping their price on Jhon Duran to £25mill (presumably to ease future PSR) in the wake of West Ham buying Fullkrug, as they were the only suitor previously. It's also reported that the Hammers are still interested in him though. However, he's only on 30k a week, and he'd be first choice here. Strong, quick, good striker of the ball. I suspect he wouldn't be keen on joining us if there were other interested parties, like West Ham, however it's definitely worth an enquiry. If the player has reservations about relegation then loan with obligation if we stay up would suit everyone if as I say, there aren't any other clubs in for him.

Is there a contract signed? Just checking. I don't think hash-tagging LCFC in a tweet constitutes as legally binding fortunately.

He was Palaces first choice over Henderson until he got injured and was out for the rest of the season. Seems to me that his injury must be worse than first thought because he'd established himself over Henderson and after an injury they're willing to sell? Additionally he surely would only leave Palace to be a number 1 somewhere, otherwise he's better off trying to get his spot back in a fight he's already won once. Which means he won't be interested in coming here, even if we wanted him.

Swap him with Bouba.

Amazes me when people leave Vesty out of their teams. Still harbouring the opinions on him under Rodgers, even going as far as blaming his performances in a season he didn't play. He was easily our best CB last season. He lacks pace, but so do all our central defenders. Unless we've given up on defenders who can pass a bit. In that case fair enough.

If Faes can get anywhere near him I'm not sure we want him.

I don't know, hence the question. Lambert is the only person I've seen mention Broja being interested in signing for us.

Is he interested now?

Interesting weblink address. What were you really searching for?

And the thing about that is that Vesty aside, that match was all squad players until the subs. Bournemouths lineup was closer to their best 11 than ours was.

Was he moonlighting with another team then that I wasn't paying attention to? Strange way to make a decision about the players capabilities.

I thought he'd potentially be the successor to Vestergaard and move central. That's before we gave him a new contract. Maybe Citeh want too much for him? Or maybe we outright just don't fancy him.

Hopefully he's an integral part of a successful promotion campaign so we can sell him for £40mill... Ok 20.... 10???

Whittaker and Rowe would cost less. In transfer fees and wages. and...

He's played the equivalent of one game for Chelsea, and didn't do anything. Glimpses? Are you just paying £15mill cos he's 21?

40k a week apparently. Less than our champ players.

Him n Morgan Whittaker. That's 31 championship goals from last season. Add Carvalho. If we can't get a decent striker in then false 9 all the way! First 2 are relatively cheap. All proved to be very good at Champ level, so with Mav and Fats if half of them make the step up, we're laughing. Oh and Hamer.

Well if nobody else makes an offer... ...he'll stay put.

You pair are fxxking this right up!
