Joël Matip

Hey be careful or we'll get accused of hogging threads again

We are on topic this time though.....kinda

[Doc_Piptorious]

Meeting in IKEA car parks after dark, I’m not surprised!

Don't worry Cerb, you and I will always have Willy Wipers off Sefton street.


Really hope you are an ex Liverpudlian now, otherwise that sounds a lot worse than it should without some help from Google......or does it???

Lol, that does sound a lot worse than it is!

I’m a former Merseyside wool, lived in the city (Wavertree) for a few years in the 90s before heading to Scotland.

Still, it meant you are/were local enough to get it

I would have been further North/North east of you as lived between Crosby and Netherton village when I was the wool/OOT going to school in Liverpool in the 1980s, then much later lived in One Park West for a spell as a grown up manchild.


5 Star up the road from WW do mighty fine detailing work too. My friend in the Colonades uses them for her car and it always looks amazing afterwards though probably more for the car thread, so in the interest of re railing the derailiment, Matip is boss and Gomez is better than prime Paolo Maldini.

If we really belive Quansah is a long term solution at CB, surely it's a no brainier (if not a necessity) to extend Matip's contract? 32 isn't that old for a CB and considering his injury record and international retirement, probably has the mins of a 27 year old.

I've always been a big fan and feel he's hugely unrated, but if I'm being honest, I didn't think he could play RCB in our current set-up. He doesn't play it the same way as Konate and maybe that forces Trent to be more conservative (which is no bad thing) but he's certainly holding his own right now and deserving of his starting place.

[The_weatherman]

Love him, but no. He'll get injured, great when fit, one of our best signings, but no.

He was available for 39 games last year and 58 the year before. He's had his injury problems, but hardly a complete crock.

[Charly]

Yeah I think we should maybe see after christmas or at Easter, but on form there is no question for me.

[SB]

I’d give him another season for sure. I doubt he’s on megabucks so I’ve got no issues with an extension

[danperkins]

Dare I say it, his injury problems seem to be behind him. He's a fantastic CB, absolutely give him an extension imo. For me, he's a better CB than Konate at the moment, he ust doesn't have his physicality.

Ffs typical

[Buzzo]

Good job we have decent depth at CB now.

Konate, Gomez and Quansah all capable.

[Charly]

Yeah... you may as well have hacked off his legs off with a chainsaw.
