Surely there can be nothing of real substance to the rumours in a Turkish media outlet that the Club have started talks with a firm of butchers over there about loaning Wöber to them.
49ers would know better than to reduce our CB options without the possibility of replacement - especially not on loan, and especially not to that lot.

Totally clue. We should never do any business with that club.
29 Aug 2024 22:56:43
Presumably the supposed Piroe plus cash offer for Hamer is complete ?? put out by Wilder through Blades’ local ‘itk’ journo, so as to try to give it credence, as retaliation to try unsettling one of our players.
1.) 29 Aug 2024 23:17:05
Absolutely Clu . it reeks of payback by the Grinch Wilder.
2.) 29 Aug 2024 23:19:16
I think with Hamer we were testing the water in case the Sallai deal doesn't go through but I think Sallai are the player the club really want. Miles better value and a very good all round player. More versatile too which seems to be the profile we are going for. Sallai may also not go through but I believe we want him for sure.

Cluey Hamer and Piroe crossed paths in the Feyenoord youth academy as teenagers. They may have stayed in touch. Hope we complete this acquisition. Excellent player and would wind Wild up no end.
4.) 30 Aug 2024 07:56:43
I think it was true but sheff not it back cause they didn’t want him and then released details to the press to unsettle piroe.
5.) 30 Aug 2024 09:18:53
Think it’s true based on what, Aus?
There was no evidence that a player of Piroe’s profile would fit Wilder’s needs, as clearly couldn’t be considered a replacement for Hamer - so why would the Club have proposed it. Blades have already brought in Tyrese Campbell and Kieffer Moore this summer, and promoted another striker from their academy.
The Club would have discussed it with Piroe to see whether he was remotely interested in moving to the Blades, as no point proposing a deal that the player wouldn’t buy into - so he’d be potentially unsettled regardless of whether it was ‘leaked’.
6.) 30 Aug 2024 10:20:33
Whatever is true, it’s clearly been the blunts trying to give some payback.
7.) 30 Aug 2024 10:48:32
I don’t think Leeds would have discussed it with piroe unless the offer was excepted. Then they would have tried to sell it to him.
I’m just guessing though.

What Clu said
Aus it makes zero sense.

I see Klopp has been appointed Global Head of ‘Soccer’ at Red Bull. Hopefully this will put an end to the ridiculous narrow RB football - though unfortunately way too late to have saved our Club from being blighted by that abomination.
1.) 09 Oct 2024 12:25:07
I didn't see this when I posted mine, not trying to steal your thunder ?.
2.) 09 Oct 2024 14:39:22
What clue? Bedazzled.
3.) 09 Oct 2024 18:55:37
No worries MoT - there’s many a time when several folk post on the same ‘news’ within a short time period, with the second (and more sometimes) being submitted before Eds have had the time to clear the first.

Perhaps it would have been better keeping hold of Elia Caprile in 2022 - now doing well, as a stand in for injured Meret, for Conte’s Napoli atop Serie A, while we bump along in the Championship with Meslier.
1.) 07 Oct 2024 14:41:43
Indeed.
2.) 07 Oct 2024 15:19:13
Watched him a lot liked his potential, could save penalties.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing though.
3.) 07 Oct 2024 16:36:01
Its been 6 years, maybe longer still since LUFC had a 1st team goalkeeper who saved penalties.
4.) 07 Oct 2024 21:04:38
WS Not really hindsight. If recruiting team good enough to spot his talent, perhaps should've been given a chance and an extended contract. He arrived highly regarded.
19 Sep 2024 09:34:35
Totally of topic, but has anyone else noticed that René Marić is now assistant manager at Bayern Munich. Bayern apparently first appointed him to a new post of team leader for coach development and playing philosophy in November 2023, and he also coached their u19 team, taking them to the quarter finals of the UEFA Youth League for the first time. He was appointed assistant manager when Vincent Kompany arrived.
All seems to suggest Orta might have been on to something when he brought the bloke in to help improve our tactics under Marsch, and confirms that Jesse was really stupid to sideline him and ignore his advice while doubling down on his own tactics. Pity we didn’t keep Marić on the staff - with his background of tactical analysis he may well have been able to help Farke get the better of Southampton - which he failed to do three times - and had we consequently been promoted, could have been a tactical asset in the Prem - where to date Farke has evidently come up short to date.

Interesting stuff Clue!

Just a random thought. I notice that Isaac Schmidt has chosen squad number 33 - the same as at St Gallen and Lausanne - where he first broke into first team football.
In general, I tend to warm to players that do that - not seeking lower numbers until they attain that associated with their usual position when within the starting 11. It suggests they may be more creative and individual thinkers, happy not to be seen as not conforming societal norms. Mateusz Klich certainly fell into that bracket - and he’s kept the number 43 at DC United - the same as when he first broke into first team football at Cracovia - and has worn in most (though not quite all) seasons since.
Obviously there are also exceptions to this, perhaps most notably John Terry (squad number 26) , who I clearly never warmed to, …….
1.) 31 Aug 2024 19:57:44
Some players are superstitious and like to keep the same 'lucky' number.
2.) 31 Aug 2024 20:42:14
That’s a good observation that Class!
30 Aug 2024 23:47:41
Dill - There would seem to be a few CAMs still out there as free agents.
Any you feel the Club ought to be considering?
1.) 31 Aug 2024 00:03:24
If not we need to coax King Pablo out of retirement for one final promotion hurrah promotion season.
Super fit Pabs could still handle the much slower Champo certainly as a game changing Super Sub with 25 mins to go.
30 Aug 2024 09:22:19
His goal last night suggests he can use his left foot to decent effect.

Maybe Joffy could at least pick up a few positional and finishing tips from Rooney, and then push on when Plymouth get a proper coach in.
19 Aug 2024 09:32:24
Rambo - I reckon your thinking about Marcus Antonsson - went on to have a half decent time back in Sweden, with a standout season in 2022 with 20 goals in 30 games earning him a move to Saudi, where he lasted one season (6 goals in 16) before moving to Oz with Western Sydney for whom he’s got 8 goals and 4 assists in 28 games so far.

According to Sean Whetstone, a long established West Ham content creator, the initial £25m seems to be in installments, but the add-ons appear to be fairly achievable ones - £5m attached to standard appearance and performance-based metrics and £4m should he receive a full international cap.

Baz - you seem to be forgetting that Rutter had just had overdue surgery during the last international break - directly before the games in which you claim he went ‘missing’. His reduced impact on games was almost certainly due to that rather than any lack of ability or desire on his part. As on so many other matters of judgement you seem to be ignoring the context, or perhaps again dismissing very valid reasons as just excuses. In doing so, you’re making it very hard for anyone to take your comments seriously in any way.

Given it was a head knock, the medical staff shouldn’t have given him the option to play on. It is the third incident in three matches in which our meds have checked out a player then allowed them to play on when they really shouldn’t have - both Ampadu and Gruev may have worsened their knee injuries by staying on.
04 Oct 2024 15:53:14
Every other team has at least 25 in their squads - we have just 23. We are particularly light at CB and DM/ CM, critical positions to establish control of the central battleground. We have just 7 in total when all fit, amongst our like rivals Burnley have 12, Blades 10, Sunderland 11, Boro 11 and Baggies 10. We are ridiculously exposed to injuries in those combined positions - so in that respect we can’t be considered to be like ‘any team’ who should cope with the injuries we face. Not forgetting that Rodon has been struggling with various knocks over the last few weeks and Struijk is still more or less returning from a long lay-off with injury.
04 Oct 2024 12:03:55
Dill, I’d agree that we could not reasonably have expected the Club to bring in another DM in the summer, but it would perhaps have been sensible to bring another right sided CB who also had experience of playing at DM, rather than having Amps, as one of only two DMs, being first choice cover at RCB.
Of course Farke may have had it in mind to transition into having only one DM, and it’s frustrating that with Tanaka seemingly being worked towards being in the starting 11, we may well have transitioned after the forthcoming international break. Had Tanaka been signed much earlier in the window, Farke would have been able manage workload better and possibly avert the current crisis.
