It seems we are being linked with players that can play right back and centre back. We know Emery has been looking for a player like this for the squad - hence dissasi on loan.

Joe Gomez is not a bad squad player, has regularly played 20 gmes or more a season for a decade at Liverpool, and picked up plenty of silverware doing so. For the right price it fixes a problem.

Also seen us linked with Gertruida again, who has just had a good season on loan at Sunderland - similar profile player.

Neither would be exciting signings, but both would be able to cover Cash better than Bogarde has or Disasi did.

Isn’t it mandatory that Joe Gomez is linked with us?
Jo Gomez, Jao Felix, Ferran Torres, every summer, all summer.

Where is Felix

Gomez has been injury prone and  dire under 2 Liverpool managers - 1 very good, 1 OK.

I wouldnt touch him unless early summer signing smd Emery agrees early summer

Someone popped him out a bit earlier, through the patio door, he hasn’t come home yet yet.

I still maintain that unless it's someone really exciting (i.e Rashford) then our new winger should be 25-26 years old, maximum.
Agreed.
Double agreed. Barnes is an ordinary player and adds to our ageing team problem.

Barnes replaces Sancho. Which, honestly, does feel like an upgrade.
Very unfair comparison. The lamp post at the front of my house will do better than Sancho.

Gomez, Barnes, Wilson, Bowen. It's as though Gregory and MON are still in charge.

Indeed. I can handle Wilson on a free but if those were our signings it’d be very shortsighted. Fortunately I suspect they won’t be.

Rashford's only 28! I thought he was about 40! He'd be a more inspiring signing than the ones on PWS's list... But probably a little over budget.
