Chaps, feel for you a bit with all your best players leaving
Today it seems we have bid around 18m for Lovren....
How do you guys rate him against some of the other top CB's in the league?
He is good but thinks he is better than he is. Great positional sense but when turned not too quick.Today it seems we have bid around 18m for Lovren....

Why would you want to buy a player who, when he does not get his way, spits his dummy out and refuses to return to training !
Talk from the club is that they are prepared to sell him to a foreign club not one in the Prem league.
I've heard rumours he created a stink up at Lyon, too.
As Paul said, he's the guy who's in the right place at the right time, but in terms of one on one with some of the quicker strikers he's average. He was one of our best signings (probably the best one in recent years) for £8.5m, but it seems like he's a bit of a nobber.

Real shame about the pirate, as him and Pelle would be pretty explosive upfront. Probably only last 3 games before one of them was red carded, but it'd be good to watch up until that point
Tadic's the one I'm exciting about. Guy is seriously gifted at controlling a ball, and I reckon we might have nailed Adz's replacment spot on there, especially at half the price!
Lovren's gone to Belgium with the rest of the squad for pre-season/friendlies, though I'm guessing fairly reluctantly. Morgan's not there but is still on WC leave, so not too worried............yet. He's the one we really need to keep IMO.
