I fully understand potential.  Hence why I am agreeing that Gordon isn't a blue chip player NOW.  But IMO I think he has the potential TO BE a blue chip player for us.  Hence why I said POTENTIAL.

Sandro, I don't know if he has, but I am not dismissing him.  I have seen more of Gordon, especially playing in a team that a) has a plan and b) playing with some confidence.  Maybe I am interpreting you wrongly, but IMO you're dismissing him, because Longstaff displaces him.  But recently when Sandro has played a deeper role and we have pushed Bruno up we have looked better and Sandro has looked a lot better than Longstaff has.  He passes better, moves better and doesn't break up play by just giving fouls away. 

I miss understood what you were saying about potential. 
 

I haven’t fully dismissed Tonali (and genuinely want him to succeed here) but when you can’t dislodge the (arguably) worst player in the team out of his position, then things aren’t looking good for him. I agree he still has time but I think he needs to put a marker down in the remainder of the season or he’ll back to Italy in the Summer.

I'd agree with that. For what we have paid for him and the salary he's on he needs to really cement that place.

We've got Isak, Guimaraes, Tonali, Gordon and Botman are probably what most would consider our blue chip players. 

would put big joe ahead of all of them

Aye marra

[Dr Gloom 22116]

I’d be gutted to lose Bruno but if we fail to qualify for Europe I wouldn’t be surprised if we cash in. He’s almost 28 now and good enough to be playing champions league football. If Man City came calling, you could hardly blame him for leaving 

[sammynb 3483]

We have a ready made, possibly better 6 in Tonali, let Bruno go but not to another PL club, fuck helping one of our rivals - we want to catch and overtake them not assist in their rebuilding.

RM, Barca, PSG or Bayern, fair enough but Citeh (they never pay what a player is actually worth), the red Scouse (cunts are always tapping up players), the fam bluds, the Russia/US scrap wankers and the petrol chemical Mike Ashley, can all fuck off.

i'll take that as a compliment.  probably worth adding that you'd get more for him in january than you would in the summer. the ol' january premium.

Your lot would be the lesser of the PL evils but fuck off, never forgive you for stealing Distin from us or the dross you've sold us over the years.
Plus why would Saudis want to help one of the gulf states they literally want to get the better of, makes no sense.

there has been some youth movement between city and united so there's no animosity. i suspect they know that we're circumstance allies in the premier league.

 

i thought we signed Distin from PSG. In fairness you have made good use of one of our academy products in Kieran Trippier

 

But i must apologize for Joey Barton. He left us for you as he wanted to win trophies. Terrible timing Joey lol.. Poor sap was on the pitch when we beat QPR 3-2 to win the PL too. shame.

I was at the Etihad the night Barton had a blinder v us when you smashed us 3-0 I think,, Souness was sacked the next day, so every cloud.

Joey kept us in the PL. If not for him the Sheikh may have gone elsewhere (or bought us for less). I'll be kind and say he had a spark.

We had Distin on loan from PSG the season prior, with an option to buy and if I remember correctly your lot stepped in at the 11th hour. Think KK might have even been your manager at the time.

 

As for Joey Barton, sure, that should add another 50-70M to Bruno's price, just to help cover our therapy costs for that fucking wank stain.

we had therapy costs of our own. pretty sure Barton stubbed a cigar out in a City youth players eye. so i doubt we fought to keep him from going to you.  just your average scouser

Pretty sure we knocked back the chance to sign him permanently because Bobby had a hard on for Bramble. He was wanting similar wage to Robert. Would have been a beautiful partner for Woodgate.

Bobby possibly thought he was Carl Cort.

Howard Wilkinson:

 

"Shola had about six Christian names, most of them, to me, unpronounceable and in an attempt to put him at his ease on his debut performance, I called the lad over and asked him what Bobby called him when he was at the club."

 

Shola

 

''Carl Cort, mostly''.

He’ll bag a few more than he managed last season if he continues in the more advanced midfield role

No doubt he kept his head down, and tried not to draw any attention to himself then.

To be fair to him i think he has some sort dickhead tourettes. It's fairly common in Liverpool.

Anyway back to Bruno being linked to City. 

 

If Pep wants him then i'd pay over the odds right now. We desperately need legs in midfield. He can cover Rodri's 6 this season, then replace Gundogan's 8 next season.

 

Not sure you'd sell mind you. And i wouldn't blame him for staying put.
