From now on in, we need to see experienced quality added specifically for the starting 11.

Fully agreed. I wouldn't be against signing some youngsters with potential for a minor amount, we have to keep that part ticking over of course.

But the real money needs to go on players for the first XI.

Any player over the age of 21 we sign now needs to be walking into that team. And we need the following:

RB, CM, ST & a replacement for Sterling if he leaves.

Aubemeyang, Niaggolon, Kovocic and Clyne should do it.

If nothing else I would be happy

[frank the tank]

i dont know what the buzz with Niaggolon is to be honest. He is 27 now and appears to have had one or two decent seasons. It's not as if he has been great for 5 years or so...........he could be a belgian Kevin Nolan.......

I think i would rather see us sign Youri Tielemans and supplement this signing with the signing of the experienced Esteban Cambiasso on a 1 year free transfer contract......

If Cambiasso had Henderson and Milner doing a lot of the leg work in front of him, then he would be a clever addition to the squad. Experienced, a winner and also knows when to join attacks.....

But not just any old number. The 9th number, the highest single digit number known to mankind, which makes it superior to the 16th letter in every way. It is indeed, the king of numbers.

Did you actually count through the alphabet? Are you sure you can't find anything better to do?

[Daniel 7]

That would have taken all over 10 seconds to work out. Hardly breaking the Enigma code is it?

We learned that **** at school.

What is the difference between learned and learnt?

[dom9]

A very good question.

Learned is the more common past tense and past participle of the verb learn. Learnt is a variant especially common outside North America. In British writing, for instance, it appears about once for every three instances of learned. In the U.S. and Canada, meanwhile, learnt appears only once for approximately every 500 instances of learned, and it’s generally considered colloquial.

Writers throughout the English-speaking world use learned as the adjective meaning possessing broad, profound knowledge. Incidentally, this sense of learned is pronounced with two syllables: LUR-ned. As a verb and in normal past-participial use, learned is one syllable.

One is most learned!

[dom9]

Happy to help.

[Daniel 7]

Hanged and hung is an odd one as well.

I did quite enjoy a Croat giving an english lesson there though

That looks like it comes from an American perspective. When it comes to English, I'd go with the Poms, rather than the Yanks. Learnt ftw!

[Liverpel]

His biggest test will be turning around the fanbase, because most people want him gone. If he gets off to anything but a flier, then it's going to be nasty, which is a proper shame given he's seems a decent man doing a very difficult job.

It'll be interesting to see the Premier League fixtures and how the first few games fall. We're supposed to be away for the first game at least for the work on the stand - imagine Stoke away up first. Could be a great way to start off with a convincing win to put that debacle to bed, could be a sackable offence one game in!

(I think he should have gone for being in charge of a Liverpool team that lost 6-1 tbh)

Are the fixtures out this week?
