Interesting post about our renewed link to Clyne on Liverpool site

Funny how a lot of them don't seem to rate him
{Ed001's Note - if you had seen the way Lovren struggled out of that well drilled defensive unit, then took the time to watch them and the way they work, with that in mind, you would start to be less happy about buying anyone from that defence. They are a fantastic unit, but individually none of them are special. The full backs have a huge amount of cover from midfield, particularly Wanyama, but also wide men, allowing them to get away with not being so good defensively and making the use of their attacking qualities. Clyne would not get that protection at Liverpool.}

Thanks Ed, never thought about that! Maybe we're better off without him. Dunno who else there is though! Munich seem to be closing in on that lad from Torino.
Good point about cover Wanyama offers - and indeed Schneiderlin, who I think they missed terribly when he was injured. So if we get Schneiderlin, would that help Clyne? Though any RB we get shouldn't need to have a "minder" on the pitch next to him.
{Ed001's Note - I would expect them to get more protection at United, I was just explaining why he would not be such a good fit at Liverpool. I actually think he might do well joining you.}

I think we overpaid big time for Shaw for the reasons Ed001 has just mentioned.
