Centre-back search

[dee]

Three games in and VVD is out for, at least, two games, Konate injured already and Matip not up to 90 mins. Leaving us with Quansah and Gomez. With Rhys Williams and Sepp having been loaned out, it makes the Phillips situation even odder.

We need either to retain Nat or swap him for someone, preferably someone left sided and capable of pressing/recovering from a high line.

Bit slow I know but I’ve just seen that Al Ittihad May also be in for Joe!

Too late but feel free to come back next year

 

[darkstarexodus]

We've not got enough CBs as it stands - he shouldn't be going anywhere at all!

Don't disagree. I'm just saying that if we're going to make ourselves even more short at the back, get a decent fricking fee for him.

Billy Koumetio going out for a season long loan to Ligue 2 Dunkirk

Get this. Quansah joined the club at the age of five

... from Warrington which is effectively the DMZ between Manchester and Liverpool

So neither a Scouser nor a Manc?

My daughter has talked me into an IKEA trip in a few weeks, so I have to enter the DMZ.

Is it still as mad busy, with long queues onto the motorway, like it was in the 90s?

Not that bad any more, unless it's a weekend or. Bank holiday. It's still awful however

 

[bluebell]

I'd happily sell only if we can get a replacement. Konate couldn't survive 2 games in, and he is injured. Get a replacement that will be fit for a season.

I used to live near the IKEA in 1996. You were effectively gridlocked on your drive at the weekends!

I think it all improved when they finally built junction 8

 

[Fabio]

Is bluebell in charge of PIF?

He suggests sales and then immediately rumours ciculate

I'm getting IKEA PTSD off this topic. Insane that you can't get out once you've made the ridiculous decision to enter that maze.

Best thing to do is put one of the blue bags on your head, go to one of the mock up bedrooms. Belt off, doorknob, trousers off. Go with god

Used to go with my missus, a mate and his missus. Me and my mate just had a comp on how many golf pencils we could walk out with .. helped pass the time

Why didn’t you just go the pub instead?
Seems like a lot of hassle just for rubbery sweadish meat balls…

I went in with an ex once and broke up with her that evening make of it what you will

 

[SummerOnions]

I would love an all night lock in in the IKEA though. Tell everyone there's unlimited Gary's hidden in one of the sofas on the fourth floor and half the wallpapers sprayed in acid

Nat Philips has agreed terms to play for Celtic this season - “The situation will be reassessed in January” whatever that means!

Bring him back after the inevitable injury crisis

 

[Richey]

Loan til January.

Bring him back in January because at least 2 of our centre backs are injured.

He stays with us for the rest of the season but still won't actually play any games.

Yep, that's usually how it goes

Get a CB tonight/tomorrow and we compete for 4 trophies this year -
PLEASE DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You mean 5?

As a CB means we’ll have trumped Everton to winning the transfer window.

James Pearce saying we’re done for the window, i can’t keep track of how reliable people are. Is he to be believed or just guesswork?

Feels like we've tried with every viable option on the CB list.
I'd rather wait than sign another Caulker, Davis or Kabak.

 

[dee]

Quansah better grow up pretty fucking quick then if he’s one of only five, with two regularly injured.

I guess this is us relying on Endo as CB possibly more than DM

 

[Markeh]

To be fair badger only emerged when the midfield was on life support so fingers crossed wee might see something similar from Quansah
