3-5-2 next year it would seem. FWIW I think Harry Wilson will be at Celtic before the Rosenborg/Valur game. |

If Wilson is not as good as Roberts we should not be looking at him. We should also get wise to the games other clubs are playing here. I guess we already probably are. The chance of Wilson ever becoming a Liverpool regular are considerably lower than 50%. Clubs like this want players like this developed to achieve a value. There's an entire industry operating at these clubs simply as an income stream and to offset FFP concerns, and to get a few Academy players on a UEFA B list when the time comes. The idea we've had a bad time with loans is a good old Express wheeze. There are different types of loan, many of whom will simply not work out regardless of club. Loans like Tonev, Wakaso, Berget. Punts. The ones we have had with largely 'development' players - Edouard, Roberts, Denayer, Guidetti to a certain extent - have largely been sound. This can always be turned round to show the utter failure of a lot of these clubs like Liverpool in developing excellent talent at youth level into elite level players. |

Disagree...only 2 BR signings started in the Scottish Cup final. I think that's quite extraordinary after 4 transfer windows. BR has been able to rely on previous signings in large part. It's just that his management has raised everyone's game. |

Yep. Just the kind of signing we like to make and BR knows him from Liverpool. Seems odd as I thought Morgan could maybe slot into Paddy's role and hearing he's been impressing. |

Makes sense, but Forrest is on good form - good to have cover/competition |

with Forrest one of our best players last year (if not the best) and Sinclair back on form according to BR, where would that put them? of what I've seen of the friendlies so far, we have lined up with wingers to support the attack, not with full backs alone of the wings |

I believe some people are over thinking the DD/BR meeting. There's seems to be a perception of it being "I'm going to tell the teacher" about it. I don't think we need disbelieve BR when he has repeatedly said he is happy with his relationship with the board and that he gets what he wants in the way of funding. |

Doesn’t sound like Wilson is happening according to my sources.

no one has suggested that at all simply a very important meeting given where we are pre season and what is coming up both in terms of games and people likely to be heading off |

It's a hard one to call. Unless they are purely looking for a wing back to cover for Forrest or for European games against vastly superior teams, then maybe we going with 4 at the back. I think we play really fluently with the 3-5-2 and it would be strange not to see Edouard starting regularly after signing for such a big sum. I will trust BR though. Just hope theres some kind of differentiation to last year or there will be even more 0-0 draws on the cards. |

Our track record is pretty poor. Musonda, Blackett, Guidetti, Tonev, Wakaso, Berget. Only Roberts (one season out of two) and Denayer have been successes in recent memory. Ever since the Aliadiere fiasco in Strachan’s first season, I’ve been sceptical about the merits of us being used to develop other clubs’ players. If Harry Wilson isn’t good enough for any EPL clubs to want him on loan, he’s not good enough for us. A club with our resources shouldn’t be competing with Hull city to borrow players.

Edouard, Forster have been good. Boruc arrived in that Aliadiere window. Edited by Pussyfoot, 5 Jul 2018, 01:16 PM.

Wilson is a slightly different style of winger than Roberts, he played up front for hull on occasion effectively. I imagine he’d be the 4th striking option which given dembele and griffiths propensity to pick up niggles is something we need Although he’s probably only an inch or two taller than Roberts Edited by lubolubo, 5 Jul 2018, 01:15 PM.

Everyone was quite keen on signing Guidetti permanently until he turned us down and Griffiths hit form |

I wasn’t counting Edouard as he was loaned with a view to buy - totally different scenario to developing someone for the benefit of others. Boruc and Forster also in this category. Edited by One sharp cookie, 5 Jul 2018, 01:19 PM.

Think we had an option on Tonev, Wakaso and Berget too bud. Never mind, I see what you mean, sorry. The younger players.

So they don't count as loans if they are successful then? |

I'd be happy with Brendan's 'won't stand in any player's way' approach to that one. |
