It is what it is. Or, it was what it was.

Football supporting is supposed to be fun!

Here's me thinking I was being balanced and reasonable. I can't catch a break on here

[Mr Pink]

£40m for a kid who has played 6 league games is absurd.

How much would you sell him for?

[Mr Pink]

What Pinky said was if we’d paid 40-50m we’d be saying he’s been good value, I don’t think anyone can disagree with that.

thanks SB for having my back, haha


To all saying it’s too early etc- just to clarify I’m not saying that he is worth 40-50m. Just saying that if we had (hypothetically) paid that for him, based on his 15 appearances so far, I would be happy that he’s delivering enough to justify the fee SO FAR. If he maintains his current standards he will certainly be worth that.

No way! It was a bit of a ****e attempt at a "joke" pal.

Days later, Dia was signed by Southampton manager Graeme Souness, after Souness received a phone call purporting to be from Liberian international and then-FIFA World Player of the Year George Weah. "Weah" told Souness that Dia was his cousin and had played for Paris Saint-Germain as well as 13 times for his country and should give him a chance at Southampton. None of this was true and the phone call to Souness was a hoax.[7] Souness was convinced and Dia was signed on a one-month contract. However, it is disputed who made the initial call to Souness. Some sources state it was Dia's friend from university,[7] while some say it was Dia's agent,[8] and it has also been suggested that it was Dia himself who made the call. It was later reported that the same stunt had been pulled on Gillingham, who offered Dia a trial, but was let go by manager Tony Pulis who said that Dia was "rubbish". Harry Redknapp, then manager of West Ham United, also received the same call but dismissed it as "a wind-up".[9]

I didn't realise he had all ready done it twice over here. His wholce careeer was blagging a club playing less than 10 gmaes and moving on

Pretending to be George Weah was Shaggy's finest blag

Imagine the uproar if we did actually sign Paolo Maldini (55) though…

he's probably be still better than most CB's out there

[Craig_H]

He is talented and I have had nothing but praise for him. I've already said that several times but it's a tiny sample size and he is a kid. We have fragile defence at the moment with several injuries (Trent added to that) and we have injury defenders lads that are current fit. I don't like the idea of "Right we have Quansah we're grand". It's very early days for him, I like him but I'll hang back from saying he's class, worth 50m and what a break through season when he has only played a few games. I think it's crucial to add to the defence in this window, just as it was crucial when we didn't get a CB when Lovren went & DM last season. The league is there for us, I would hate for us to fall short because we rested on our laurels "once again" and didn't add to the squad. We don't have to sign Maldini, just solid cover as a just incase.

I agree with both of ye

But I’m angling more towards Buzzo at the moment. I think CB in modern football is the hardest position to play and for us even harder. You need to play such a high line and not be exposed , pass and carry the ball, be aerially dominant and great in 1v1 duels. He hasn’t looked out of place and also has the physicality plus temperament based on what is a small sample size.

I don’t know when we’ve had such a talented young CB come through our own ranks tbh. I’m really excited by him but we still need another CB added to the pool

Edited: He is talented and I have had nothing but praise for him. I've already said that several times but it's a tiny sample size and he is a kid. We have fragile defence at the moment with several injuries (Trent added to that) and we have injury prone defenders that are current fit. I don't like the idea of "Right we have Quansah we're grand". It's very early days for him, I like him but I'll hang back from saying he's class, worth 50m and what a break through season when he has only played a few games. I thought my comments were reasonable and logical as we have been here before. I think it's crucial to add to the defence in this window, just as it was crucial when we didn't get a CB when Lovren went & DM last season. Many posters said back then "Ah we're fine we don't need a CB when Lovren left & ah we don't need another midfielder last season and it royally ****ed us. The league is there for us, we have a massive opportunity here & I would hate for us to fall short because we rested on our laurels "once again" and didn't add to the squad. We don't have to sign Maldini, just solid cover as a just incase.

It was a joke FFS!!!!

What a great shout, I would love to see that

The closest one I can think of is Ali Dia, who convinced Souness he was George Weah's cousin and made an appearance for Southampton

But even he, as **** as he was, was a lot better than the average bloke

It's okay to write a player off after a few games but don't dare get carried away and get excited about a player.

To be honest, I’ve not seen the memo which says that’s ok either.

[Pablo]

Would love to see you knock one in "top bins" in your 15 minutes Slinks.

[Slinky Skills]

It’s not jumping the gun though. It’s just everyone saying a variation of the same thing using mildly different words. Do we need to put out an agreed statement and get everyone on the site to sign off on it?

‘Jarel Quansah has made an unexpectedly bright start to his Liverpool career. He has not put a foot wrong in the minutes he has had on the pitch. This may end up saving the club a considerable amount of money. We want it placed on the record that this view does not mean he will make it as a future first team regular. That said he has every chance and the contributors at EST1892 would like to wish him the very best of luck’.

I do wonder how much damage a normal bloke would do making a 15 minute sub appearance in a Premier League game. Would be some spectacle to see it happen

You’ve nailed it there.
