Bit wary of Latin Americans, tbh. No wonder they have revolutions each month. Like signing a contract with Pablo Escobar and his whole family.
Stones had his transfer request knocked back on deadline day after Chelsea had tapped him up, and we stood firm. He even played that very night away at Barnsley. But they're few and far between, remember Lescott? Had his transfer request knocked back and Moyes picked him for the opener at home to Arsenal, they put 6 past us, and he was truly awful. never played for us again and got his move to City.
He's been back in training for 2/3 days, after missing all of pre season for a groin op.....he'd be nowhere near match fitness even without the contract issue.
As said, it's WC year. And we'll never know if Ford is sulking anyway, because he always looks like Kevin the Teenager, and, like Dalglish many decades ago, he plays 1 in 4 truly awful games anyway (as barca will probably find out one day).
That pic above of when Coutinho first signed for us speaks volumes He should remember that, or would do well to. He was nothing when he came to Liverpool, just some kid with one of those south american names doing nothing, going nowhere in Italy ... we made him, or allowed him to make himself Now that he's got the full sleeve tattoos, the shaved sides haircut he thinks he's a superstar. He's good but not that good. At least he looks the part, right. As for the statement his people have made about not wanting to be on bad terms with the club ... Total crap. He's completely disavowed us at the first time of asking ... no humbleness, no humility, no respect All we get is ingratitude, ungratefulness and a turncoat
He'll find out pretty quickly at Barca that you can't pull that one in four **** that he does with us I mean Suarez and Messi and co will carry him but it'll be a ****ing reality check with regards to attitude and application He won't get away with it the same as he does for us where he is A-list and to them where he'll be in a category below their true superstars as a desperation almost panic buy
Now you are all feeling a little tinge of hurt & frustration, I'd like you to imagine, that young Phillip had been illegally tapped up, had his head turned so to speak, by a club that is considered much bigger. A club that does not play by the same rules as everyone else. Now imagine the annoyance, and how unfair that seems. You there yet? Good. From a Southampton fan.
(Dwight Yorke) when he was about to move from Villa to united, John Gregory said if he had a gun he was going to pull the trigger, so Countinho should not come near me.
