    Can't see it but if so, it just about sums Liverpool up these days. Never a big fan of his when at the Valley. Never lived up to his potential and blew hot and cold. Maybe they're building a team ready for the championship next season?

    Not a massive shock. Liverpool are no better than a mid table Premier League club and that's probably the level Jerome Thomas is at as a player.

    Really? Surely not the same Jerome Thomas who didn't even look Championship level for us a couple of years ago

    To be fair, that was under Pardew.

    Blimey, if the Liverpool fans hate Konchesky for not being good enough just wait till they see Jerome "No End Product" Thomas.

    How far can that club fall? How long before they announced they have swooped for Amdy Faye and Denis Rommedahl?

    Appointed Watford’s Head of Academy Recruitment. He’s not a player I imagined staying in football after he retired.

    Watford have a poor record when it comes to bringing through academy players, maybe with Brexit affecting their network system, they're having to give more emphasis to it now.

    Basically a posh title for the old school scouts at kids games?

    Have we had a better winger since Thomas?

    You must be looking for a LOL ?

    Head of an academy recruitment at a team that was in the Premiership last season is big business.

    Gudmunsson is about the only candidate.

    JT was always underappreciated. Charlton wingers get grief when they do stepovers, we prefer try-hards like Johnny Robinson and Johnnie Jackson.

    I liked this and then took it back. JT went downhill quickly after Curbs left which leaves a bad lasting impression but at his peak in 2005 ish, he wasn’t far off an England call up.

    Peak JT was better than Gudmundsson at CAFC. 

    No doubting that Gudmundsson was also made to look even better than he already was by having to deal with the circus around him. Peak JT vs peak Gudmundsson at Burnley is a different conversation and probably a lot closer.

    Nah, even when at Charlton Gudmundsson was better than Thomas.

    Thomas was brilliant in 2004/5

    I really rated Thomas.

    Linked up well with Bartlett.

    Form fell off a cliff a bit with injuries, but he was good for about 3 seasons.
