Thanks bigmart. I agree re immediate availability but I would be happy if he was on board.

Delighted with signing of Glatzel. A lot of the hard work has already been done in terms of acclimatisation to L2 football. There is of course the potential for disappointment but let's hope his injuries are now behind him and he can kick on. At this level he is a "game changer" in both the broad and narrow senses of the phrase.

Yes good point ONIGP. League two defenders won’t be a surprise to glatzel so that is a positive. Let’s hope he is fit as my guess is he won’t have played much football since last season
Good news re Glatzel!
Assume it is a loan with us paying little of his salary and then a perm in January (if he stays fit) or else if he does really well and more importantly stays fit Liverpool recall him in January and sell him on somewhere else given they will get nothing if his contract is simply wound down.
For us but also for the lad himself who has had such rotten luck I just hope he can stay fit!

I believe that Morris is now "back running on grass". Once the self medication stops he can focus on the next phase of his recovery...
Yes I know it is but he can be recalled in January and equally it could be changed to a perm in January which I assume is what we are after if he stays fit....
Liverpool will get nothing if it is just a season long loan and he becomes a free agent after as they would have to offer him another contract at least as good as he has now which they won't want to do.
Would be great to think Liverpool are doing a massive favour by paying most of his salary for the whole year and allowing him to walk away without a sell on fee but I have my doubts they are that generous

Interesting that Micky said we’re trying to “shift and shape a few things around” today, and that we need more “first-team ready players”. Suggests one or two outgoings might be on the cards to make room for the anticipated new signings.

Some outgoings wouldn’t be a surprise. Both Cogley and Nevitt are I think out of contract at the end of the season. I wouldn’t like to lose either, especially Josh, but they’ll leave for nothing at the end of the season unless we go up and if we get decent offers then one or both might go. Cogley is far too good for league two for sure. nevitt I’m less sure about.
other departures might include the likes of merrie who is an obvious one alhough with our lack of options on the bench of late micky may prefer him to stay for his versatility.

I think O'Connor and Cogley are the players most likely to be in demand, and the most vital for us to retain.

Let's not kid ourselves. Liverpool are a massive commercial organisation with shareholders and profits to think about.Would be great to think Liverpool are doing a massive favour by paying most of his salary for the whole year and allowing him to walk away without a sell on fee but I have my doubts they are that generous
In the case of Paul Glatzel, they have an asset they have invested a lot of money in over several years in developing him and paying him well. His injuries have stopped him developing into a first-team player and currently they probably could not sell him to anyone. They are stuck with paying his salary until the end of this season, when his contract ends and he can walk away. The deal announced today means they get some of his salary paid by Rovers, who take responsibility for getting him match fit. Hopefully, that will happen soon and he can become a useful player for us and a marketable commodity for the Reds. If it works out, both clubs and the player all win. That's why the deal makes sense. There's no charity, it's all about profit - or rather cutting your losses.
If he gets fit, stays fit and plays well, the Reds will try to sell him in January. I'm sure that's part of the deal. Let's hope we get good use of him for the next few months. I can't see him staying on loan until the end of the season and then walking away from the Reds. Instead, if he is reasonably fit and plays reasonably well, we may get the chance to buy him on terms beneficial to both clubs and the player with sell-on clauses and buy-out deals.
