Bit of a catch 22. If its a bench filler surely better to loan a Liverpool one to sit on our bench and hopefully our youngster goes out on loan and plays for experience?

Agreed. If we’re looking to really keep Barron and develop him AND have him want to stay he has to be playing regularly. Anyone we bring in has to challenge immediately.

No reason to think so.

We released about 42 midfielders at the end of last season and I think we have signed 1 who plays in Barron's preferred position? 

Most of the signings are wide players/attackers which we need given how shite the options we had there last year were.

Just don’t know how he gets back in. Vinnie is the attacking centre mid and mcrorrie and ramadani are the holding players. 
 

Vinnie can play wide but we keep singing new wide midfielders and now another centre mid and we still have Polvara. We’re very top heavy with little cover for the defence.

Fuck no , Better not be hes one of our best in the making players , I can see Celtic trying to do a deal with Scales tho the swine 

This is when the mind starts going to dark places. We’re signing a lot of players who can play where he does. The plastics better not grab this kid. Maybe not the best turn of phrase considering their historical penchant.

If Clarkson is a defensive midfielder it means McCrorie can fill in at CB and RB without a drop off in midfield quality.

We planning on signing any proven midfielders or are we going for potential all the way? 

Levitt was hardly proven when he arrived at the jutes last season. Worked out alright. Who's to say this lad doesn't do the same, make an impact and hold down a place in the team.

People are too quick to write players off based on nothing.

this guy is never a starter , don't see the point of a loanee 

He's perhaps better than what we have. Or our own youth are out getting valuable regular game time instead of warming the bench and this lad can warm the bench instead.

Does anyone else get the feeling Barron is away now with all the midfielders joining?

No.

No.

The guy was recalled from Blackburn last season by Klopp because he was warming the bench.

Not writing anyone off. But given our creativity problems last season, you would have thought we'd sign at least one player with pedigree, supplemented by a another couple with potential. 

And maybe that player is still to arrive. 

We've spent over a million but we're relying on gambles to solve our creativity problems. 

Perhaps Goodwin's in full on Kennedy delusion mode. We're lucky Hayes can still cut it at 35.

I think Kennedy will come good tomorrow with a goal and a assist

I'd think Barron is competing with Ramadani and McCrorie for CM and also maybe with Vinny for AM behind the Centre Forward but that's what we want. We can't expect to go all season with just 1 player in each position.

Polvara is behind Barron imo and the others are wingers/wide forwards so not really competing with Barron directly.
