  1. Agreed. You do wonder if it was a Norman Smurfwaite or Bill Bratt if we would be so tolerant to the obvious cheapo approach to building a squad around loans, no matter how good. 
     
    It doesn’t really do anything for the club except maybe help us build financially by staying in league 1 and saving money through surviving on loans for our star players. 
    Do you think loans come cheap?

  2. He's played 9 games for the Liverpool first team including 5 in the PL. He's capped at England U18, U19 and U21 levels. 
    One of the reasons I'm of this opinion is the Financial Fair Play Rules. All the top clubs are going to be severely restricted by these. Arsenal can't afford a striker for example. Liverpool clearly need new cover at fullback and are second favourites to sign Mbappe from PSG behind Real Madrid. They could do with not having to spend £50 million on a new centre half. But we are 100% sure they need a new centre half at the end of the season. 
    Well Warren, The Anfield Index article thinks we are the business, I hope they are not disappointed.

  3. When he was at Aberdeen he was never fit , hamstring and ankle issues in other words a croc 
    Vale have to decide whether to take the risk in order to improve the relationship with Liverpool, but not to be too reliant upon him. Obviously, medical supervision is easier, with Vale being local compared to Aberdeen. Which other defenders are in the melting pot?

    In a way, Solihull merged with Moor Green. Though at the time they were two separate clubs,

    Moor Green were the senior club founded in 1901, so Solihull Borough founded in 1953 merged with them to become Solihull Moors and possibly play in the FL one day. I suppose Ian Taylor was Moor Green`s greatest product based on his Villa Premier League career.

    You'd like to think Tottenham would have been as upfront on Devine as Sheff U were on Arblaster. Hopefully we can keep him as he's really come into his own in the last few games. 

    Interested in everyone's thoughts on this. Is Devine a better player than Arblaster? Personally I think Devine has a much higher ceiling. He can walz through games and ping a ball beautifully. 

    Its difficult to explain but I feel like Arblaster has a humbleness and likeability of being a young northern lad just loving playing footy. His playing style is all action box to box which is always a hit with the fans.

    With devine I think as he's always been a high talent on a guilded pathway there has been a touch of arrogance and almost a sense of 'how have I ended up at port vale'. You can see him trying to do stuff and other players are just not on his wavelength.  However as each game passes there seems to be less of that and he's beginning to influence games.

    Alfie is also a Northern lad, born Warrington. Academies Liverpool and Wigan.  Sold to Spurs at 15 for £300K.  More media savvy ?

  6. No idea how close to the truth this story is but it reads like it’s been written by his agent.
    I did smile at the caption on the photo of the Dortmund manager saying he is desperate to land him. I doubt he even would have known we exist as a football club much less our academy players.
    The Dortmund recruiting system would know, maybe track the EFT. Whether one of their top targets, who knows? He is likely to have seen a review of their work. But as always agents make the most noise.
