Have to say watching brentford vs leeds. Phillips and benrama look like quality premier league players.

I think they both could add a hell of a lot to this team. If we stay up and neither of these come ul id try get both.

Would look to the Bundesliga. Watched Leverkusen-Dortmund at the weekend which was a great game.

Surely we could get Kevin Volland? Has nearly a 1 in 2 record for Leverkusen but 27 so I reckon they'd cash in this summer. Also Leon Bailey would fit well into English football and we need a quick player in the front 3.

All this talk about Piatek and in the end he went to a Bundesliga relegation threatened team so we need to start setting our sights a big higher from the summer imo.

If we stay up, there will be a lot of potential for bigger signings.

I was speaking to a friend the other day about football. He's a Liverpool fan and obviously pleased with the season. He's an ex-player at lower league and academy levels and was a goalkeeper until injury finished him.

He was saying how amazing he feels Reina is, and disappointment Liverpool haven't gone back in for him (not as Number 1). Great communicator, experienced and level-headed. I hope we keep him when Heaton is fit.

I thought the deal was if we stay up he gets an auto 1 year addition to current contract - that would be fine by me

Probably wouldn't even be a back-up...there would be real competition for the position.
