    Ay? What's Rodgers got to do with the price of cheese?

    Rodgers was a fraud that only had his reputation saved by Suarez having such a great season.

    Not quite what you make it sound.

    He made his full Int’l debut at 19. So somebody spotted his talent.

    And his only previous club was Genk. From whom Chelsea bought him at just 21.

    What's it got to do with Rodgers?

    You answered the call when you agreed with Chelsea being spazzers (we were) for giving away obvious top quality talent. I'm asking why such a talented player didn't get picked up by Liverpool in 2014 instead you went for the deadly duo of luis alberto and iago aspas

    Yes but when we got rid at 23 to wolfsburg, you guys were busy buying the likes of loldado and lamela so obviously his talent wasn't that obvious back then and wasn't only missed by chelsea

    We probably couldn't afford him. We're not all run by corrupt gangsters mate.

    Am i talking to myself ???? <confused><confused><confused>

    lol you doing a professional WUM job? I said chelsea didn't give him a chance and Maureen didn't like him and we were spazzers for getting rid. Whats Spurs excuse for spazzing out and buying the likes of paulinho and loldado instead of getting KDB when you could obviously see his natural talent when he had his incredible loan year at wolfsburg?

    Maybe. Or maybe Mourinho didn't see him getting in ahead of Hazard so sold him.

    Mourinho then won the league so it can hardly be deemed a massive mistake. Hindsight is a wonderful thing as we all know.

    No one else in the premier league had spotted him, as has been pointed out by BobbyD, so it's not just Mourinho who made the mistake. He's also far from the only player who has left a club and then kicked on elsewhere. Won't be the last either.

    I'm just gutted United didn't snap him up but we had the genius that is Kagawa in place at that time so it all ended well enough!

    Well you could, you just didn't have to buy the wonderkids of Aspas, Alberto and Ilori and you'd have bagged him

    So every player for sale we didn't sign is our fault?

    You seem a tad #rattled Bobby. Has all this KDB talk got you upset?

    Nothing like changing the subject to get out of an awkward situation?!!

    Simple fact is that Mourinho had a world class talent in his squad. Now, either he’s nowhere near as astute as he claims to be and couldn’t spot it, or he didn’t gel with him on a more personal level.

    Or he prefered Eden Hazard in the same position and couldn't play both.

    As I put to Bobby, if you’re as astute as Mourinho supposedly is, you find room for talent like De Bruyne.

    or he could have played both but didn't fancy KDB.

    Someone ring Jose to clear this up before Bobby pops off.

    yeah crying into my tissues right now.

    Nope not your clubs fault. Can't find every gem. Just find it funny how this guy was so talented that even a blind man could see it but his talent didn't justify being bought over the likes of aspas, paulinho, henderson etc etc

    You could play two goalies if both yours are brilliant but you still wouldn't.



    *This isn't aimed at Liverpool obviously, given all their goalies are ****e.*

    We don't even know whether Liverpool were interested or not. Like I said you can't buy everyone, Chelsea wouldn't want to sell to a rival anyway (back then anyway as they do silly stuff like that now).
