anyone know if he's gonna be fit for Saturday's game? wonder what alternative in the middle Roy would go for if he's out?

Meyer was talked about in such terms but he came to us on a 'Free' and Riedewald cost less than £8 Mill which is 'Peanuts' in PL terms.If these players were that good they wouldn't have come to us and would have been acquired by clubs much higher up the Totem Pole.Furthermore a sum shy on £8 Mill for both does not suggest that they are as talented as has been suggested, besides I don't recall a great clamber for their services from other clubs.

The thought of Schlupp in midfield against Man Citys midfield is just ridiculous.. I know some on here defend him but I still standby the opinion that he really is a truly awful player... But Roy seems to like him.

Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!!

By that logic Richardson would never have gone to Watford, and Shaqiri would never have gone to Stoke. But, oh wait...

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

To be honest with you, Saturday against city is a chance to rest those players with knocks or fatigue from the first half of the season.

We play Cardiff on the 26th and Chelsea on the 30th so essentially 3 games in 8 days.

Expect to see the likes of Luka and Kouyate given a rest with Jairo and co coming in.

I presume you mean Richarlison and not Richardson.Richarlison came from Brazilian club Fluminense and not many had even heard of him in this country.Shaqiri only played 15 games for Inter Milan,possibly quite a few of these from the bench, before his £12 Mill transfer to Stoke and there were question marks about his consistency and his defensive prowess.Both didn't arrive with big fanfares.
