FFS, you’re going to need a lot more than a tin hat for that one.Tin hat on, but Eamonn Brophy always ran us ragged. Could do worse imo

Yeah, its erratic to say the least ... if he had that in his game he would still be at Liverpool though ... the only reason we were able to get him in the first place is that he has flaws in his game that needed to improveDo people really judge Ryan Kent on his assist and goal stats?
Surely using your eyes is enough?
He goes and his replacement won’t be a patch on him.
My only criticism of Kent is his shooting/composure. It’s poor.
vs. Jota. You can’t compare them. Ryan Kent is by far the better, all round player who delivers on the big stage.
Didn't actually know his assists were that high to be fair pretty decent.. but goal return is a big concern..So he has contributed to 25 goals, Kent has 3 goals and 20 assists, so has contributed to 23 in "stats" alone
Kent had goals or assists against the favorites to win the Europa League, and then in a European last 16, Quarter and Semi, so you are right, it's not even remotely comparable the outlet of one 7 million pound player v the other.
Kent also doesn't get an assist for the massive role he played in our goal v that shower of p*sh in the Semi when he is leaving half their team in the dust to split their defense in bits.

He scored thirteen goals in the 2020-21 season, he has the ability to do it. But this past season, from that aspect, he has gone backwards. As others have mentioned he has a lot of value in other areas.Excuses, excuses and more excuses.
His finishing is the problem, it's woeful.

Love him as a player but he can be frustrating at times too

I’ve not seen much of him but as I understand it he’s not a defensive midfielder. He’s very good at dribbling which is an unusual talent for a centre mid, with 10 assists and 3 goals last season he’s more creative than he is a goalscorer though.Looking at Rothwell's stats he's not exactly a goal scoring midfielder.
Do we really need another defensive mid?
Would be a decent signing Grigo despite being right footed he's spent a lot of time at LCB would be a good foil for Souttar at the back wonder what sort of fee is getting talked about if Arsenal and Dortmund are being talked aboutIt seems that Joseph Okumu, the Elfsborg CD we were credited with an interest last season, and who is now at Gent, is interesting Arsenal & that lhot.
I thought he ticked a lot of boxes & after missing out on Doekhi I hope we pursue him.

That's the fee he went to Belgium for you'd imagine if he's impressed this season they'll want a bit of profit on himIt’s saying 3-4m KGR, but wasn’t that what fee he joined Gent for ? Seems a bit low.
Would be a pretty decent signing, but i would guess he will prob go to China/US for one last payday. He has also struggled with injury's last few seasons, and has a tendency to go missing in games.In the absence of any actual names - and the frankly sectionable suggestions of Scotch jobbers and hammer throwers - I’ll throw a name in - Yarmolenko has just been released by West Ham. Has always looked semi-decent.
I think to solely judge him on either would be naive. He needs to hit certain levels in both the baseline figures & the other areas you speak of. All his other work doesn't mean much in the league if his poor final ball makes us unable to kill teams off.Do people really judge Ryan Kent on his assist and goal stats?

Mind blowing somebody would try and use Salah in defence of Kents lack of goals.Mo Salah is frustrating at times and I’m not even a Liverpool fan.
That’s football.
Kent’s off the ball movement, work rate and desire is top notch. He’s a threat whether he’s got the ball or not.
I suppose we could sell Kent and replace him with someone like Charles-Cook who’s got numbers (for the first time in his career). Some on here would be delighted with that.
He has alot of talent but his fitness levels are shocking.In the absence of any actual names - and the frankly sectionable suggestions of Scotch jobbers and hammer throwers - I’ll throw a name in - Yarmolenko has just been released by West Ham. Has always looked semi-decent.
We should see if we can Hodson back too.Mo Salah is frustrating at times and I’m not even a Liverpool fan.

Exactly this. He occupies opponents regardless if he has the ball or not, creating space elsewhere, add in his work rate and willingness to get back he is arguably our best player.He generally does big things at big times during games of football TBH.
I would take his output last season for instance over the goal return of Roofe or Sakala, Tav scores a lot of goals because of Kent.
We score a lot of goals coming from overloads after the ball goes left to right because players have been dragged into the area Kent plays.
Football is also about the process of how you get the ball to a place for players to score a goal
Ship has sailed by the sounds of it.You’re right.
Just found another article & seemingly Dortmund have registered interest.
He was 25 yesterday, so still young for a CD, but he’s 6’4”, good on the ground & has pace too, so even if we had to go to 5m or so, if we lose Bassey we should still consider him ?
We need quality next season.
Compare and contrast with Jota. There's the reason they're in the CL and we're hoping to qualify.He scored thirteen goals in the 2020-21 season, he has the ability to do it. But this past season, from that aspect, he has gone backwards. As others have mentioned he has a lot of value in other areas.

He definitely will come out flying, he started the season great for the past 2 years, sadly getting injured near the start of the 55 campaign, but was doing great. I rate him very highly, he offers a lot both in defense and attack. However I also think that in some games he can be quite ineffective, mostly the games against low block teams in the league. Also his goal numbers have been a bit lower than they should for someone of his skill level, in my opinionAribo was comfortably our best player up to Christmas last year. A period of time that had us in a comfortable lead in the title race. I've no idea why there is this flippancy towards him after a poor second half to the season where he played more football than anyone else in the world. I suspect he will be absolutely flying next year after a break in the summer.
kRobertson looks like a guy who flys to London. Even if he’s nothing to do you get the impression he would put a suit on, fly down, drink a glass of water and fly back up.
Compare and contrast with Jota. There's the reason they're in the CL and we're hoping to qualify.
I appreciate the work Kent does for the team when we're not in possession but his primary role is to create and score goals.
I think it’s a safe bet he’ll stay. Each time he’s asked his horses their thoughts on a move they’ve said neigh.Don't think you're gonna be far off mate I think both will extend.
Pretty much every manager in Europe we came up against pinpointed Kent as the danger. It's vital we keep him.
Jota is instructed to get in the box and across the full backs when the ball is on the other-side, it’s where both him and Abada are getting their goals.
I’m not sure Gio gives a similar instruction

The type of player we should stay well clear of. Not our modelWould be a pretty decent signing, but i would guess he will prob go to China/US for one last payday. He has also struggled with injury's last few seasons, and has a tendency to go missing in games.
I thought the same!!!!Jack Simpson til 2025!
He played a big part in them winning it. I was hoping he would be going somewhere else next season but it doesn't look like it.Compare and contrast with Jota. There's the reason they're in the CL and we're hoping to qualify.

Ross Wilson has fired on the beef in the post season
The problem with that is that his value has never been higher, and unless we go on a sustained European run next season, and Bassey continues to show, then his stock, and therefore value, will never be higher than it is now.
Being a stand-out in the Scottish League will see bids come in, of course it will. But being a stand-out against top European teams is a level up.
If we want to maximise our return on Bassey, which is absolutely the correct financial approach, then we have to do so now.

He'd be a good signing but when you see both us and Celtic linked to a player it automatically feels like agent talk.Tom Lawrence linked yes shite source both us and them linked yada yada yadaRangers and Celtic join Leeds in race for free agent forward
Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s Rangers and Ange Postecoglou’s Celtic have joined Jesse Marsch and Frank Lampard’s Everton in the race for Tom Lawrence.www.hitc.com
There is a reason why Dortmund even in the first leg , tried and failed to suffocate Kent by player numbers.Mo Salah is frustrating at times and I’m not even a Liverpool fan.

Where’s Jason Holt: Volume 2Jason Holt. I have a large collection of butt-plugs.
Filler. Agree with you it’s so pointless. But then so are “ newspapers”.Why does the writer introduce each team with the name of their manager first? Such an odd habit.
Imagine if we had 3 players with Kent's ability and speed playing in the positions behind the striker!Do people really judge Ryan Kent on his assist and goal stats?
Surely using your eyes is enough?
He goes and his replacement won’t be a patch on him.
