Not really the news I want to hear today having just had our Xmas arrangements torpedoed
We’d better not lose today as well
I hope it goes no further than “considering” for a year or so
Gus always said Liam Bridcutt could play for Real!
Not surprised by this news at all, Bissouma is an oustanding player and wouldn’t look out of place in the Real side at all.
Obviously would be gutted if he went but would also never begrudge him a move like that, would be very happy for him and feel real pride.

Thing about the Liverpool link is that as loyal as Lallana would be to us now I'm sure he'd have no issue recommending him to them. You can imagine his bessie Henderson saying 'that boy gave us a the run around in our game' and Adam responding 'he's an incredible player'. That is probably enough of a reference given how highly regarded Lallana is, his experience etc.
Does bode the question-
If we have a player that Real want, a player that every club in England want (White) and a young player already linked with Bayern (Lamptey) why are we struggling so badly? That's 3 of the first team wanted by the biggest teams in the world. Doubt that can be said for Burnley...

Would Biss get anywhere near the Liverpool team? Bench warming is not the way forward for him imo
That was imaginary Scottish amateur side, 'Real Sosobad'....

That's the key question with them really.
The narrative is he replacing Wijnaldum. Fine, but he doesn't start every game. You'd guess the first choice is Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago.
There is Keita. Jones is playing a lot. Jota plays both middle three and front three and seems equally adept at either. The Ox is still around. Milner never disgraces there.
But then it's Liverpool. How much football do you want if you're involved in the best squad in the league?

We're in the pipe, 5 by 5
If we're following the Southampton way of things then i think we'll sell. Isn't the model buy in cheap, develop, sell and replace from the academy? I'd be a little surprised if we didn't sell one or more of Biss, Lamptey, White in the next 12 months (only to one of the the really big teams not any eejets from Yorkshire).

It is certainly the plan. It's just a matter of when do the 'maximum benefit to the team'/'maximum transfer fee' lines cross. I'd like to think maybe not for the next 12 months but there's really only 3 people who have that particular stat.
Provided we get a decent fee, can't see the club are going to stand in his way. It is our business model afterall. Reason we kept White is because of the bigger fee in the future from a bigger club than Leeds.
I wonder if Lallana has been reporting back?
Is it one of the Simpsons

He was excellent again today. He has to do way more work than he should.
Looks like this has just gone up...

You think his performance today was good enough to play for Real Madrid?
Sounds like his agent is angling for a move.

I think he is good enough to play anywhere yes. I also think that he was undoubtedly one of our best players today, and comfortably the best CM- so if you think he was off form today he is still clearly a level above anything else at the club.
Time will tell.
He wouldn't be linked with Liverpool if he wasn't a good player. And if he is good enough for Liverpool he is good enough for anyone.

Rohan Ince was linked with Liverpool...
Don't get me wrong, Bissouma is an incredible talent but the hyperbole is insane.
