Alan Nixon: "Top Liverpool starlet Cameron Branagan will Ben allowed out on loan in Jan.

Bolton lead the race for the 20 year old midfielder"

Edited December 11, 20169 yr by Ratwhite

No idea on Matty Platty but centre half is where IMO an experienced head would be brilliant. Help develop the others as well as make a bit more solid.

i wonder (not that ive looked proper) if hes one of them scores boatloads against mid table teams , but against tip top teams doesnt do it..

iirc it were what they sed about aubamayang at arsenal. 

i think he's good, just dunno if you go looking. 

if they played bayern munich he either seemed to not play or not score and theyd lose. 

might be an illusion, but all these youtube highlight vids show him scoring 5 goals at a time against the likes of nuremberg.

Yeah, I don’t know either. He’s only young though, 21 years old and very exciting talent with many strings to his bow.

Drogba didn’t score a huge amount compared to some legendary PL strikers but he did score in big moments for them which has put him up there with the biggest names

5 in 7 against Bayern.

Bayern won all 7, scoring 19.

23 in 16 starts in the Champions League.

Not sure if he can do it on a rainy night in Bolton Stoke Burnley though

Apparently, Rudiger will be paid £345,000 per week by Real.

No wonder Chelsea are letting him drift.

Yeah but that’s £16m for the 4 years. Throw in a signing on fee, agent fee and it’s probably £30m 

Nothing to them. 
Going to be the same for MBappe, could happily pay him £500k a week but they don’t have to pay a fee. 
Clever business 

 

Beevers made available for transfer by Peterborough. Would be giving him a wide berth now at 32 and having struggled whenever at Championship level. A good un for us in our promotion season under Parkinson nonetheless.

£30m all in for Rudiger over 4 years is a good deal.

Arsenal paid £50m for Ben White before wages!

This came only a few lines after discuusion about M'Bappe and Rudiger.

I needed a lie down.

Now we have players who can deliver balls in it wouldn’t be a bad shout

A team of cloggers won the league/finished second and Wycombe remind me of the old Wimbledon side from the 80s and are in play off final JSL 😐

I'd have him over Platt, for sure. Pace would be an issue in the side though

It’s becoming more and more frequent. Clubs are telling agents get their clients to run down their contracts and we’ll double their wages. Juventus have been doing it for years.

Likely to be out of our league but this lad would be ex’s for what we need IMO

 

What sort of midfielder is he?

But we're not building a team of cloggers like Beevers.

I think it would be interesting in watching Beevers be the man free who can bring the ball out of defence ala Aimson 😱

TBF Evatt has said certain near the top will have to reinvent themselves as they progress whereas he wants us playing a style that be continued in a higher level.

Massive loss for Argyle that, reuniting with Lowe at PNE you'd expect? Probably been tapped up by him

You're quite a long way out sorry - £345k per week is more than £16m in a year, let alone 4 years. Total contract cost is more like £90m for 4 years of him.
