Also playing in our system isn't always suited for someone to just swoop in and pick it up right away so your 70 mil defender may play quarter of a season at best.


Do you really think that? Of course it's close to impossible to get another VVD who we bought for 85m i think, but you can definitely get someone better than both Gomez and Matip and for less than half the price? Do you think we could sell Matip or Gomez for 40m, I don't think so. By the way, rumours are that we are after a second CB.


A fully fit Gomez is easily worth £40m.


Gomez is seldom fully fit for long periods

Everyone moaned about us buying a cheap LB who had been relegated for £7million, Robertson turned out ok..... let's just give them a chance, with Klopp's teams coaching and playing in a better team, we will see how they do.

There's conflicting assessments from various pundits and Coaches regarding Davies. Lawrenson doesn't think much of him, whilst I've read that he's the type of ball playing CB we need...proof will be in the pudding.

Here's hoping he turns into a Robbo and not a Torben Piechnik!

Yes, I can't see how other scouts, at other clubs, weren't interested if he were any good. £2m for a player anywhere near good enough for our bench, let alone the team, seems like a tiny fee - given that PNE would have known how desperate we actually are, right now. It's a puzzling move. At the end of the day, it looks like a way of making money (as stated above) rather than a means to improving the team.

We shall see....

PNE got our Sepp on loan for i guess next to nothing instead. Hopefully everyone benefits from those deals.
