      Some links emerging with Raul Jimenez. Always rated him and thought he’d be a perfect cover option for Bobby. Bobby is a one of kind but I think Jimenez is as close as you can get in similarities. I was hoping we’d have signed him ahead of Wolves a year ago but wasn’t to be.
       
      Eye for goal, excellent work rate, can link the play well and he’s difficult to track due to his movement. Links up well with the wide players at Wolves too.

      He wouldn’t come cheap but he’d be one that’s well worth the money IMO, and he is established in the Premier League, we know he can cut it here, the same can’t be said for Werner.

      Yea Jimenez and Neves are the two players I'd like from Wolves. Both have lots of quality.

      Traore I'm not so keen on as I feel he will always be inconsistent with his finished product which isn't great to begin with and he seems to be very much a form player.

      All credit to Wolves too, they got both players for a really good fee. I don't think Jimenez would come cheap but at the same time I don't think Wolves would pull out all the stops and make it difficult to sign him. I think, or at least I would like to think, that Wolves would appreciate the fact he's now 29 and it's probably a case of chances becoming limited for him to play Champions League football because in all likelihood, Wolves can't give him that. I don't think they would be a club that would hold him back if the opportunity came along.

      Considering the uncertainty of our financial situation I would like us to seal those 6 points ASAP (aka the next two games) in order for the Boss to be able to rotate his squad for the rest of the season and experiment with those young faces in proper premier league games where he'll have the luxury of fielding less than 100% power teams.

      This will be a good opportunity to see how some of those youngsters do in a squad that is closer to being the real thing than a heavily rotated squad in the 2nd round of the F.A. Cup or something.

      Should be doing all we can to get that Saka here from Arsenal. One year left on his deal.

      Every time I've watched wolves he's been sub, I wouldn't mind seeing Adama Traore in a red shirt, he's a f**king beast.

      As an impact sub he'd be amazing

      I've been banging on about him for months.

      It was reported more than once that Klopp (with permission) spoke to him during the Covid break.

      Ex Barca and Boro  that guy is unplayable  ...... ask Virgil.

      Can see him off on a run and getting to the box before our three fly boys up front .....and they are not slow.

      Me thinks Nuno and the Wolves management will take a decision depending if they get CL football next season.

      His cross yesterday for the goal was sublime. Totally changed the game when he came on. Absolute beast of an athlete. Imagine him and Trent on the right side.

      We’re not paying 60m for someone to warm the bench thought that was clear when we dodged Werner.

      If you are talking Traore I see where you are coming from.
      If Wolves want to play him as an impact sub at the moment so be it.

      Our team play with pace. We were lucky there was no Africa Cup Of Nations this year as Sadio and Mo would have been off leaving Bobby only from the established three.

      We need an extra striker with pace to match.

      Traore is the man ... and is that why we didn't take the Timo punt ?

      Reading on skysports that LFC are lining up an audacious swap deal with PSG which would see Mane leave and Mbappe join.(Paper talk- Sunday Express)

      I love Mane, and would rather lose Mo over him.. but with the current contract situation with sadio, I understand why liverpool might be eyeing a replacement. When the replacement has the potential to be Mbappe, I'd could be tempted by a swap deal.

      What're people thoughts?

      Touchė.

      Dont get me wrong, I understand this is purely 'paper talk'.. or '100% grade A rag bollox talk' as you put it.. just wondered what the thoughts of people were regarding the situation with Mane and any potential deal with PSG for Mbappe, no matter how fanciful any talk may be..
      I guess I was hoping for a more constructive response to the question.

      According to the BBC gossip page the source was the worlds biggest scum bag paper.
      So I’d suggest it’s 200% and designed to be a distraction from tonight and Palace

      Even tho I agree with what a lot of people are saying about us not paying big money for somebody who is going to warm the bench, one thing I love about Traore is that he wouldn't be as much of bench warmer as some seem to think and that's mainly because he can play anywhere on the right flank.

      Need to give TAA a rest? No problem. Want to give Mo a rest no problem. Wanna rotate the squad and have Origi play instead of Bobby and want someone to feed him good crosses from the RB or RW position, no problem. Want for a reason or another, for a game, to switch to 3 at the back and need somebody with a bit more physicality and speed than TAA to start at RWB, still not a problem.

      Of course, all of these situations might end up not happening that often, but I was just trying to make the point that he wouldn't be as much of a bench warmer than somebody like Shaqiri because he is less one dimensional in terms of what he can bring to a game.

      If we are going to take the next step then we will need to pay big money to have someone "sit" on the bench. BTW how much do we pay for our current bench? I find this such an absurd notion that we cannot possible have any top players who aren't automatic starters!

      ROTATION!!!!!!

      OPTIONS!!!!!!

      We didn’t take the Timo punt because we don’t have any money to spend. We aren’t going to be buying anyone else either without sales first  (and maybe not even then).

      Always amuses me when you hear a player says he wants to go somewhere where he’s guaranteed a regular start.
      To my mind if you’re a top player and you’re thinking I won’t go to Liverpool because I won’t displace any of their front three then frankly you’re not a top player.

      Gabriel Jesus and Sane would be two players who would be automatic starters in most teams.

      Sane was an automatic starter until his serious injury

      Jesus is not a “top player”

      No, Sane was behind Sterling and Jesus has always been behind Aguero. Both great top players though who seem happy on the bench.
