    Sounds like Spurs recruitment strategy. You need old heads as well, to help guide the kids

    You do, but the rules have made it extremely hard for teams to fork out money for older players due to their wage demands, the transfer fee they cost, and how difficult it becomes to get them off the books as they get older.

    Case in point being Man U who have guys like Casemiro, Shaw and Lindelof who have almost become unsellable.

    So Willian left Fulham in the Summer because he wanted more money and a longer than one year contract and now he's back for 4 months on less money.

    Given he knows the team and Silva's patterns and that Harry Wilson is out for 10 weeks-ish it's a no risk signing but don't expect him to start pulling up trees but hopefully he can still provide decent cover

    Newcastle are fairly comfortable going through to the EFL Cup final, 4-0 on aggregate. Arsenal not looking half as comfortable when they are the pressee instead of the presser - they were hounded all over the pitch.

    Can't see Tottenham getting past Liverpool tbh. Would love to see a Tottenham v Newcastle final, but this Liverpool side are getting stronger and stronger and its still a very youthful Tottenham side running around.

    Having said that, Ange really needs this. His job could depend on whether he succeeds on cup competition or not.

    Liverpool were there for the taking with the team they selected. No quadruple this season ...

    I'll reserve my excitement on him as Philippe Coutinho was the exact same when he started with us and it went a bit pear shaped after that. Quality player though, as you'd expect with the CV he has.

    A good thing for them too. Klopp tried twice for quadruples, came home with no major trophies in those seasons.

    Liverpool have bigger fish to fry.

    Just watched highlights of Villa v Ipswich and the debut of the new Ipswich keeper Alex Palmer is absolutely outstanding. The save from Rogers that he tips over the bar and the last minute miracle .... amazing.

    Merino, the super-sub striker. It's sad to see the player Sterling is now.

    I think Sterling was just bought over because they weren't sure how good Nwaneri was or hiw ready he was.

    But yeah, off to Saudi for Sterling next season.
