    Wow! Who comes in? I have a feeling they'll go very hard at Xabi Alonso.

    He always said he was gonna leave in 2024 in fairness.

        Basically the whole coaching staff

        Pretty significant

        They also need a sporting Director too.

        Kloppo said he told the owners in November. So I hope that means we have a replacement already lined up who will be bringing his coaching staff with him.

        Alonso would be great if we can get him. He is revolutionising football tactics in Germany

          He extended his contract until 2026.

          We knew it wasn’t forever but it is still hard to take hearing the news

              @DaGrubster Let's be honest, contracts mean shit in football.

              Gerrard lol, we did Liverpool a massive favour by giving him a gig and showing them how bad a manager he was.

                Sam Kerr does her ACL - think there needs to be some serious work to prevent so many ACL injuries in the women's game.

                Contemplating this after seeing an article in Stuff with a slightly clickbaity headline as follows:

                https://i.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/world-game/133536729/sam-kerr-the-latest-victim-of-an-injury-that-discriminates-against-women-footballers

                It seems women are made different to men (1. Maybe one for the Trans debate thread, 2. Who da thunk?).

                Learned this with teenage daughter playing netball. Said daughter apparently had Osgood-Schlatters Diease and Sinding-Larsen-Johannsen Syndrome, not uncommon in developing teenage girls. Essentially girl's hips, legs knees develop with different angles.

                Given the specific rigours and dynamics of netball knee and ankle injuries are common, exacerbated by physiological development, and Aus netball has a specific programme to try and combat it. But has not eliminated the issue.

                I wasn't aware until I talked to the physio, but hope this is drummed into coaches.

                Kind of thing that needs to be developed in soccer?

                But I digress...

                @booboo women also have more patellofemoral problems due to angles. It's basically what we like about them :-).

                  Big risk to take on Alonso for both parties - similar to taking over from Fergie or Wenger, when the whole club has been shaped around one manager, the next man in has a really tough job.

                  Last day of the transfer window and no big moves announced yet as far as I know.

                    I think more clubs would have been certainly recruiting if they didn't have threat of losing points.

                    City having KDB back almost seems like a transfer lol, what an immediate impact

                        final deadline getting interesting, ex Man C flop Enes Unal signed on loan to Bournemouth, papers hoping it will trigger a Solanke move, however I suspect this allows club to sell Moore to Sunderland/Ipswich

                          Pressure of trying to get results at Sheffield seems to be getting to Chris Wilder. Is he really an upgrade on Higginbottom?

                              On the plus side, at Klopp's salary, you'd only have to stick it out for a month to collect your first million pounds.... 🙂

                                      We certainly need someone who can put it in the back of the net. I'm getting sick of commentators going on about the good football that Fulham play. Pretty triangles are meaningless if you are anaemic in the final third.

                                      My only concern with Broja is can he will come back from his long term injury and be the player he seemed to be before.

                                      What were Chelsea thinking slapping a 50 mill valuation on him? He can't get in their first team ahead of a guy they paid half that for in the summer.

                                          Arsenal really bossed Liverpool today, it is looking like a 3 way title race, at least it is at the moment. Liverpool exposed by doing their usual run around crazily pressing but Arsenal good enough to pass through it to find a lot of space. And not having a real full back against Martinelli is dangerous.

                                          Some crazy games over the whole weekend, Newcastle v Luton the highlight. In the end most of the relegation contenders drew and Sheff U (and probably Burnley) look goneburger.
