Liverpool are going to insist on a buyback clause. He's in year 3 of a 5 year deal so if he had another year out on loan they wouldn't get much a fee for him, so makes more sense to sell him and leave yourselves the option of bringing him back if he develops sufficiently while he's there. Klopp rates him as a goalscorer but doesn't think he does enough outside of the box.

Is there a decent 4th cb coming up through the youths/reserves then? Not replacing Lovren and selling Hoever when Gomez and Matip are fairly injury prone (and Gomez seems to have fallen off a cliff form wise) seems foolhardy.Last edited by Lang Spoon; 18-09-2020, 22:28.

I think with the surfeit of midfielders as well that Fabinho and even Henderson could be asked to fill in at CB when needs be.

Beware of Stephens constantly turning to play his defenders into trouble rather than play the way he is facing. Hopefully for you Dyche will quickly drum that out of him, as when he does try to go forward he can make some decent passes and looks a decent player. For me he has been our most infuriating player in the Premier League !

Lincoln have signed another attacker, Brennan Johnson, on a season long loan deal from Forest. Getting quite the squad now, very exciting. Judging by watching Forest last night, they could have done with him themselves.

Manchester City have offered the best part of ?40m + Ottamendi for Benfica defender Ruben Dias. I struggling to understand why Benfica haven't bitten City's hand off for this deal, Ruben Dias is bloody awful and has nasty streak in him. He reminds me of Bruno Alves, but not as good and the only reason he has been an ever present in Benfica's first XI is due to him coming up through the youth ranks (of which Jorge Jesus is doing his usual clearing of the decks in favour of expensive, ready-made imports).
I've never been a huge fan of Ottamendi, but I'd say Portuguese league football is about the level he can play comfortably at, so would be happy to see him at Benfica. Whether Benfiquistas will accept an ex-Portista is another thing.

Ross Barkley has gone to Villa on a season long loan. He might stand out a bit more at Villa than Chelsea, but you get the feeling that he will always fall short of the perceived potential that has always been bestowed upon him by others.
