I've said previously experience will help any player that's a given but you can only get so far on hard work and experience you need the natural ability to hone and I just don't see it in him He's not shite don't get me wrong he could be a squad player for years to come but I can't ever see him being able to cut it at the level we should be aiming for as a first team player Can't blame Rodwell for wanting his money when he asked to leave also had problems with injuries, Sunderland are and where a shambles who gladly threw the money at him and others to begin with, a club that got what they deserved imo Anyway it's going off topic but I hope he proves me wrong down the line as I'll gladly eat humble pie when any player wearing the shirt does so

Not sure why people throw age around with footballers he's 20 not 16 also there have been loads of players over the years.... but it all comes down to your personal opinion of how good you think he is, very subjective Personally ability wise I don't see much difference in him to the likes of Gosling and Rodwell

Ey don't draw me into this one my head spins when I read that thread as it is I'll be honest though considering I just said the above... I don't actually see the absolute necessity of playing a DM, I'd rather have a player in the Dacoure mould that can do that whilst being a box to box type

It's pretty clear mate, you can't draw comparisons to two proven players after one half decent game it's just silly I nearly fell over though when I saw two notifications from a post I mention Gana and it was you and Pete

Slightly different to say the least those comparisons as Lukaku evidently scored goals regardless of his faults and Gana goes about his business as well as most top DM's in the game does whereas Davies has had one half decent game..... Let him put 7/10 performances in far more consistently before we start raving about how he's proved people wrong off the back of scrapping past Huddersfield

It's no Boardwalk Empire imo but I'm liking it so far, I've had a few people say it's drops off after the first two seasons so I'll see how it goes I need a filler until Thrones and Better Call Saul etc kick back off

Pickford did well and looked more like himself today Davies had a good first half faded slightly in the second but still one of his better games all round

Hasn't officially handed one in apparently, just wrote a letter to the hierarchy saying he would like to leave whether that's much different in any official capacity I couldn't say https://mobile.twitter.com/ALANMYERSMEDIA/status/1090013989709496320 Likely he'll be off though

Green Book - Brilliant film and a great switch in ethnicity class for the era it really highlights how much ignorance there was (still is) Great character development well worth a watch Just started The Sopranos as well five episodes in and really getting into it, love the mob stuff so I'm not sure why I've never watched it years ago

I know mate I was thinking more of a trawler finding them or turning up on a shore etc Such an avoidable tragedy though with a catalogue of errors leading upto it

Terrible the families must be going through hell Hopefully they find them both so the families can have some closure RIP

I don't think he's going to Monaco he's denied it recently himself and also liked the following post on Twitter and posted below telling a football correspondent that he needs to change career if he believes he's going there https://mobile.twitter.com/mbatshuayi/status/1087081091687698432

Good individual talent piss poor side Fucking embarrassing the mistakes we make at times

Pickford Coleman Keane Zouma Digne Gueye Gomes Bernard Lookman Richarlison DCL I was tempted to go with Kenny but Coleman is quicker and more experienced and Redmond might have a field day with Kenny Give Sigurdsson a break although his stats haven't been bad he hasn't looked as effective of late and Gomes Bernard both put the yards in and I'd like to see what Bernard can do drifting forward centrally DCL deserves a start he's had a great week so his confidence should be sky high

Your agreeing with my point to a larger degree... so yeah I agree I said the above because you said Moshiri has the money but won't spend for one reason or another hence my post It's been said multiple times wages are an issue so I'm not sure why it's even up for debate when we are spunking millions per month on surplus players wages

It doesn't matter what term the cost comes under its still a cost to the club, fee's and wages go hand in hand and most certainly will be part of the reason why we won't be splashing money around If my missus said can we get a third car and I have the capital to buy it but she doesn't for the running costs it's illogical to go out and buy it and it's definitely something anyone with any common sense would take into account before doing so

Brilliant! He's probably buzzing about this as well, a good day for the lad https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dominic-calvert-lewin-fifa-19-15699432.amp

£20m he'd be worth a punt but no chance for £40m

There's been plenty of talk that Brands wants it much lower, it's around 80% of our turnover which is huge Far from being the worst in the league though but it goes hand in hand with having surplus players so hopefully we ship most of them out in the summer

Pretty sure that's the case mate I've never ever seen players wages being shown post tax He earns £3.6m per annum which roughly equates to £75k per week pre tax, no clue where Haiku is getting those figures from Matt the info is readily available as clubs send their financial reports to Company House who then publish them

I could be wrong but where's it stated it's after tax? It's on multiple sources it's £70/75k pw, I've never seen a players wages mentioned post tax?

Makes my head hurt this thread

Why do people assume wages when it's readily available online to find these things out, £70k ish a week which is peanuts for a player of his calibre and experience in today's game

I get your point but Besic is pretty much the level at which I'm referring to with Davies just with more a little bit more about him and Morgan has been absolutely shite for some time For me he's been used due to us not having many other options, I'd love the lad to flip a switch and prove me wrong I just don't ever see it happening

Nobody said they can't so I don't know why you've said so, I fully understand many a side have had such players he's a Dan Gosling MK2 who does a job for Bournemouth.... Also the players you've mentioned played alongside world class players there's a difference a massive one You've used Davies and impact in the same breath I genuinely can't think of many games he's had that effect, he's also not a defensive midfielder I don't mind having him in the squad as we currently are but he shouldn't starting games and if we progress the squad he'll likely be fazed out in my opinion For a player to be "unlocked" you need natural raw talent he doesn't have it, what does he do or have in his locker that indicates such? Genuine question as I see next to nothing and we all see the game/players differently
