Being linked with a move Calvin Bassey to provide competition for Digne.

Shirley we can do better than that?

No, we need him because the diamond formation is forever.

John Percy has been busy tweeting tonight. Bassey or Hickey as competition for Digne. Calvin Phillips and Yves Bissouma linked in squad revamp. Carney and Ashley offered new deals.  It’s all happening!

If Leeds drop, I think he'll go all out for Kalvin Phillips. Can't say I've been that impressed with him this season tbh, but who knows what he could do under Gerrard's stewardship?

After literally YEARS of failing to sort it, Defensive midfielder has to be the club's #1 priority this summer. Forget everything else until that position is filled (maybe with an understudy too!).

Yep.  If we continue with the formation with two wideish strikers with Coutinho / Buendia playing just behind them, then second on the list would be a striker who could play that role.

I can't see those tweets?

Percy is great!

Someone mentioned that Gerrard and Coutinho share the same agent.  Any Ideas which other players are signed up as it may be a clue to where we (Gerrard) has influence and potential future signings.

If that is our recruitment strategy, what the f**k does Lange actually do?!

“As we look to build towards next season, it is incredible to work at a club that executes its business so decisively and smoothly.”

Was going to look for that quote too!!

Watched Philips twice in the last 2 weeks. I may be harsh, but he looks slower than Gareth Barry when he was 39. I think we need 2 players of that ilk this summer, Bissouma and Kamara would be my choice, but Villa appear to have been hot under collar for Philips for about 4 years now.

Purslow is like a pig in shit with Gerrard and Coutinho, he loves a bit of limelight. Done a damned good deal to get Barca down to £17m though. Fab bit of work.

Supposedly Suarez will be the next new signing

Supposedly Suarez will be the next new signing

If he came to teach Watkins how to finish I'm all for it. If he cane expecting to start 38 games a season he can piss right off.
As a squad player he would be an unreal signing for the winning mentally and the things he could pass on to archer, Watkins and ings would be invaluable in years to come.

At least we'd have some teeth up front

[darren woolley]

Now we have signed Coutinho I think we will attract bigger named players now.

It makes me laugh when people say Watkins can't finish. Didn't he score his 100th league goal the other week?

He's on 80 according to Wiki, 56 of which were in League 2 and the Championship.

I don't think we need to be a big spender in that position.

Is his brother Alfie coming as well? *
