Jake Livermore

It's great to be in this league and get to play huge teams like QPR.

 

I’d be very surprised. Bilic really wanted him and pushed hard for him but the club refused.

 

He wasn’t free then, now he is. Gino knows best.

 

He’s not coming here. Don’t think we need to get our knickers in a twist.

 

If it happens I guess he's our budget Hamza replacement..

 

Is that for this past season? If it is, what does his graph look like for the 21/22 season when he played over 3100 minutes?

 

On a serious note, I wish I was kidding, but I’m wondering if the tweet the admin did the other day about logging off and using the salute emoji was in regards to Livermore. You salute a captain and he was West Brom’s captain.

 

Don't mind this personally. Ok, he's not going to set the world alight, but we've been powderpuff in the middle of the pitch for 3 years now! We need some physicality and leadership in there, especially to help manage games out. Would be a good squad player/sub to bring on.

 

Surprised you didn't pull a muscle with that reach!

 

Unfortunately I did typing that out.

 

Did this someones brothers, father in law tell them?

 

Cor, they've got a good team, might have a chance of winning the Euros next year ya know!

 

Much of the same really, semi-decent ball winner but not much else.

 

Wouldn't be surprised to see several out of contract players training with us for the next month...

 

He’s not here, he’s not there, he’s not every ******* where.

 

Just to be linked with a player who has 7 caps for England is exciting enough for me. Only 6 fewer than Cleverley.

Heady days.

 

Another pretty uninspiring transfer link. I do feel we desperately need a combatative midfielder but can't we get anyone better and younger?

 

We 100% need some steel in midfield but as you said there must be better out there.

 

Better costs money.

 

No not always.

 

He lives in Brookmans Park. Used to see him quite a lot. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is there just doing fitness work. It’s not uncommon for players to do that…

 

Unless you're Chelsea obvs where worser costs even more

 

Apparently done deal, announcement next week

 

Nooooòo

 

ò ?

 

If so then hopefully a short term deal, no longer than two years, preferably one with an option.

 

A worse Choudhury is really nothing to get excited about.

 

Ahhhh the joys of giving our managers a say in who we sign eh!

 

F**king tragic.

 

I quite liked Choudhury but he slowed things down too much. If a player similar to him could win us the ball then quickly hand it over to a better player, eg Louza, then I’d be ok with that. Does data exist for average time spent with the ball? Or do any of you who do bits of scouting have any comment on this area from Livermore v Choudhury?

 

Remember him ambling around the pitch many years ago, the game passing him by. At 33 I presume he’ll be even less mobile.
