I’m not asking them to, simply pointing out that Gerrard said otherwise :shh:

No chanceWe will yeah, but not that 32 year old for sure
Same with me. After yesterday's performance I'm alot more relaxed on the veerman situation.I'm really not concerned anymore if we dont bring anyone else in. Yesterdays performance from the team and individual players have now put me at ease. We have more than enough to win 56 and get that CL money that comes with it.
I don't think every player has to have sell on value and at 31 you'd potentially get a few years out of him here if he's any good.
We should be looking to improve in every position at any opportunity we can mate.
Start those 3 up top away at Malmö & we will be in business. I’d go with big Itten Vrs Livi.Great point IA.
Against Malmö away they could really trouble them.

Here’s my plan…from what I witnessed yesterday during that display, I don’t think we need to sign a player. Fashion JR has really excited everyone & he can operate in all 3 positions.
Can we hold onto everyone & bank the Europa League or CL prize money??
We need to trim the squad a bit but get Buf back & in the grove we will be in business. Keep young Kelly until Xmas & re-assess things then. Hopefully R.Jack regains full fitness.
Buzzing for Saturday & the season ahead.
James Maxwell season long loan to Ayr United
Hope he continues to develop, I work with a few guys from Dumfries who were very positive about his form at qots last season.James Maxwell season long loan to Ayr United
I still think if we are to go up a gear to either compete in UCL or to go further in EL, Veerman could help us get there. If the money isn’t there so be it.Same with me. After yesterday's performance I'm alot more relaxed on the veerman situation.
There's plenty of time for "stuff" to happenIt’s all very quiet . I’m gobsmacked but delighted that we haven’t received a single bid for Kamara , Morelos or barisic . I was worried . Now, I can relax and look forward to the new season .
I honestly think there’d have been a lot of noise about it by now if it were to happen.There's plenty of time for "stuff" to happen
If a midfielder were to leave our need of Veerman would perhaps become more intense. We don't know what Gerrard's thinking is going into this season, and we really can't say with any confidence who will not be leaving; whatever though, Gerrard will look to retain or add to the quality of the squad, and we can pick that up from his last few interviews.A lot of peope saying we don’t need veerman cause we have Davis an kamara etc but for all we know he could come into the team and be a level above them
Would it purely be money though, whilst acknowledging that it would be very important factor in these things?I still think if we are to go up a gear to either compete in UCL or to go further in EL, Veerman could help us get there. If the money isn’t there so be it.
True but they want £8m for him. Not a hope in hell.Your opinion was written in a way that seemed matter of fact. It annoys me more than it should on here when people say things for definite when they're very much guess work.

There’s a difference between logging in and saying ‘I heard this’ and ‘Done deal, 4 yrs, ITK’
No, poster made it about Veerman, mateWas this said about Veerman? I thought that was the comment made about Lundstram, the day before he signed, which was proven to be very correct and indeed ITK.
Any of us with any sanity are realistic about one or two first teamers leaving, I just hope the chatter about Goldson signing a new deal is authentic. I think we have the people with the ability in position to replace players in most areas but I've went from someone who was very sceptical about Goldson to being absolutely sold on how important he is to the team.If a midfielder were to leave our need of Veerman would perhaps become more intense.

Unless a player is available who will be a starter im 100% with you. Sakala and Kent will tear it up this yearI'm really not concerned anymore if we dont bring anyone else in.

Really?.True but they want £8m for him. Not a hope in hell.

defoe wont be playing much and roofe is more injured then notIs this still the case after today?
I'm happy with Sakala, Roofe, Itten, Morelos and Defoe.
I have faith in Itten coming good though so I suspect those who don't will want another.
Everything, including the words from Gerrard himself, appears to suggest Goldson is signing a new contract. I agree btw.Any of us with any sanity are realistic about one or two first teamers leaving, I just hope the chatter about Goldson signing a new deal is authentic.

Helander, Kamara, Hagi and Morelos would all be huge losses no doubt- but big Connor is a true leader.
That's an extremely tough act to follow for me.
Just what that Italian article said. €8m probably. I was cautiously in favour when I thought it was a bosman!Really?.
Seems excessive, they only paid £3.5m last summer and he didn’t set the heather alight at Benevento.
Had a good Copa though.
I always think when they say ‘rangers and Celtic’ it’s BS31, calling BS
We have been excellent at keeping most of our player business as quiet as possible over the past few seasons. Gerrard did say he thought we may get one or two in, we shall just have to wait and see.I honestly think there’d have been a lot of noise about it by now if it were to happen.
I think Morelos is the only one that’s going to go and it’s probably the right time for both parties.
I never read the article, apologies mate!.Just what that Italian article said. €8m probably. I was cautiously in favour when I thought it was a bosman!
Post 9,215.Was this said about Veerman? I thought that was the comment made about Lundstram, the day before he signed, which was proven to be very correct and indeed ITK.
Yeah I totally agree & know he won’t have that space to run in behind like he did yesterday but what also important is his workrate…when we play against packed defences when our attack breaks down it’s about winning the ball back as high & as early as possible to smother the dross in this league. I think Fashion will do that for us centrally & as a “10” or a wide man.I was absolutely enthused by that yesterday Russell, even when we were losing.
We could have taken 5 off of Madrid.
Sakala did very well in the central position, but the park the bussers in Scotland won’t suit that as they won’t be as high or loose, so Alfie’s game intelligence and physicality is still very important to us.
Yet Gerrard says one or two more. So if not a centre midfielder, then where?I don’t think we need anyone else unless someone important leaves, our squad is excellent, strong in every department.
It’s possible there will be more movement if we get past Malmö (or Helsinki) and bank that £5m, wouldn’t be the first time we’ve done something like that
I think we'll sign a centre half if edmundson leaves and katic goes on loan.Yet Gerrard says one or two more. So if not a centre midfielder, then where?
(barring replacing what has been lost)
I don’t to be honest.I think we'll sign a centre half if edmundson leaves and katic goes on loan.
We are 100% interested in Joey Veerman.
I got a whats app saying this two days ago, Ipswich . Must have been true then . People scoffed when I mentioned it on here
People need to stop spreading this shite on here. It simply isn’t accurate.defoe wont be playing much and roofe is more injured then not
we will need another striker
sakala looks the part but he can play across the front 3
Maybe just people not jumping in to boo-boo what turned out to be solid info would be a start . No need for apologies just be normalWhat you after mate, an apology? Bans dished out?
Wasn’t me that one mate. Only other thing I heard was the week after the sheep game the Goldson deal was agreed in principle and would be signed upon his return which obviously hasn’t happened as yet but positive signs this week on that one.Great stuff.
Whats your latest on Kamara? Was it not yourself mentioned his agent was working hard on his exit?
Possibly, but there’s also that Europa will be worth a lot more to us this season with fans allowed in ontop of the additional £5m, I don’t think you can’t dismiss outright the possibility some funds will be freed up if we get throughWe’d be banking that £5m plus banking EL group stage money.
Nice, first of a good few out the door hopefully.
Agree on Itten he admitted he found it hard settling here due to COVID and not being able too see his family because of the restrictions. Gerrard mentioned it yesterday as well saying Itten looks more settled now.I reckon we do need another midfielder. Since Gerrard has been here Jack, Arfield and even Aribo have been out for atleast 2 months every season they've been here.
I dont think another front 3 player is needed unless someone from that position is sold.
People writing of Itten is daft, boys not even started over 2 competitive games back to back ffs. You absolutely need to give attacking players more time to bed in than any other position.
Yeah I totally agree & know he won’t have that space to run in behind like he did yesterday but what also important is his workrate…when we play against packed defences when our attack breaks down it’s about winning the ball back as high & as early as possible to smother the dross in this league. I think Fashion will do that for us centrally & as a “10” or a wide man.
Saying that I do think Livi will have a go this weekend as their manager is a character & likes to try & attack.
If we keep hold of all the players & don’t sign anyone I’m happy with our settled squad with the 2 free transfers we’ve added.
Buzzing.
