Japanese CB plays for Southampton Steph. He's impressed me a lot too in tha past. And he's played really well lately in Van Dijk's place, but Southampton will be readying themselves to lose VVD. To be honest, if we do bring in a CB, they need to be top drawer.

collum to ref semi final, we better train to play with 10 men now then.

Or 11 versus 12 in training! Collum without doubt is one of the most incompetent sorry exuse for a referee I've ever witnessed! But it still won't save them come 12 on the 23rd! Nothing and nobody will stop the treble!

JB67, just because we're paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get us brother! 👍☘️.

Its worrying that when the referee for a Celtic game is announced there genuinely isn't one ref who I'd prefer was doing it. There must be a way of training games better.

I'd say Clancy is about the most clueless, so possibly the fairest as he's usualmy bad for both teams!

this is a clown who gives them penalties when he's looking the other way and didn't even see it happening, he's a soup taker into the bargain there's nothing worse than a turncoat jfp.

We did beat them 5-1 when he refereed the last time he was in charge. Maybe he can be a gd luck charm 😂.

Apparently Rodgers is going to have a "15million pound war chest" for the summer, don't know how much I believe that. But I see Lee Congerton has been appointed to find players for BR has anyone got an idea of how good this guy actually is?

Apparently uncovered Coutinho and identified Neymar before he ended up at Barca.

Agree0 Disagree6

12 Apr 2017 13:22:32
Were some of Europe's top clubs not all after both Neymar and Coutinho whilst in Brazil?

Agree0 Disagree5

{Ed007's Note - Liverpool bought Coutinho from Inter Milan who had signed him when he was 16 and Inter then loaned him straight back to Vasco de Gama for two seasons. He spent 3 years in Italy- one on loan at Espanyol - so I'm doubting the story that Congerton was the only scout to have noticed him. As for Neymar, every big team in Europe were trying to sign him with Chelsea being very keen and very close for a couple of years. Real Madrid and Man Utd were also willing to match any offer the lad got, well apart from the dodgy stuff that's came out lol.}

12 Apr 2017 13:53:31
I'm not getting on Congerton's back but I thought a fair few clubs were after Neymar and Coutinho being at Inter, well, he was hardly unearthed, as even I'd heard of him!

Agree0 Disagree5

Smelt a bit of rubbish wae that one too ed. Can't remember the full article but even in that one peice Rodgers seemed to contradict himself on Congerton when he was talking about him finding those 2. He's just trying to big him up which is fair enough.

Agree0 Disagree5

{Ed007's Note - Thinking about it, was Rodgers maybe meaning it was Congerton that first mentioned the players to him when they were young teenagers? I have absolutely no doubts in my mind at all that Congerton will improve the success rate of our transfer dealings. John Park found us some cracking players over the years but he also made some major blunders, especially in the striker department.}

Correct Ed he first spotted their potential when they were about 14 yearold.

Agree0 Disagree4

{Ed007's Note - That makes a lot more sense.}

12 Apr 2017 16:30:21
He's a hard one to assess. I can't say for certain which signings exactly were 'his'. Sunderland wasted some money during his time there; and was there not talk on here of Liverpool shaking up their recruitment dept. (admittedly I don't know if LC was part of the shake up or part of the cause of the shake up. ) ? But I agree with Ed that after JP's reign, as a whole, I'm looking forward to see what he brings.

Agree0 Disagree4

{Ed007's Note - I wouldn't read too much into his time at Sunderland, behind the scenes politics have been a serious problem there for years and money promised by the board never materialised.}

12 Apr 2017 16:52:08
Granted, SAFC are a bit of a circus and a few managers have had run ins with those in the board room.

Agree2 Disagree4

I always felt we needed a striker coach that could double up as a scout and I know from the past you never fancied that equation but it's just with us trying to unearth "rough diamonds" a felt we needed a rethink

Having said that it was henrik that "talked up" Mo Bangurq and that never panned out well!

What you thinking position wise in the transfer market? A think there really only be two in RW and CF and if SA got a new deal that be fab would love to hear of a real quality Bosman coming in that would be the icing on the cake for me.

Solanke and Fischer for me would be good business.
