    Chris...don't argue with a poster with nearly 3 million 'rep' points.

    Can you award them to yourself on the Liverpool board?

    Scousers are no good with numbers ergo:


    £35 million - Carroll
    £20 million - Downing
    £20 million - Henderson...who he??


    If I could be bothered I would list more.

    Point made though.

    Have some positive rep <ok>

    And Mrs Pottermouth can have some pos too <ok>


    P.S. Henderson wasn't 20mil - and to be fair he's been a great buy, adds so much energy to the team.

    No offence taken by my good lady and non by me!
    With regards to Henderson, he struggled at first but, I must say. He was impressive in our recent game. I'm sure Assaidi will be OK here. Etherington is almost past it and we need another winger with pace. Can he play, anywhere up front. e.g. off of Crouch/ Jerome etc Just wondering because some Liverpool fans I know personally rate the lad.

    All the best for the rest. <ok> P.S. Nicky didn't this happen before mate... some pratt giving you negative rep? Speak to one of the senior Mods and have some rep from me too!

    EDIT Holy **** it won't let me?????????????????????????????

    OMG...I'm wounded, I can feel the pain.

    Thank the Lord I didn't park my car in Liverpool.

    No rep points and no wheels.

    I've never seen him play anywhere other than on the flanks, so can't really comment on his ability playing in a more central role.

    Don't get me wrong the lad has plenty of trickery, he just lacks any final ball and his decision making is soooo frustrating to watch. Perhaps he'll mature with more game time and that part of his game will improve.

    He's basically got talent but it is so raw and needs tuning big time. There is a chance he'll come good, and I'm glad he's going on loan to get the opportunity. One thing it tells me is Hughes is looking to change your style of play - which must be a positive thing.

    Have some rep :)

    yet you thought you would come onto our board and post this?, I think that deep down you are gutted hes gone personally, if hes as bad as you say why would other teams out of the prem be linked with him?. No matter what he does he will certainly be better than downing and he cost £20 million so in my eyes we have done very good business, well done mr Hughes!!!!.

    I thought I'd come onto your board to post my thoughts on him. Gutted?? No, sorry but he doesn't even get a game in our second string - we have 17 year olds that get the nod before he does.

    I'd personally have Downing all day long over Asaiddi.


    I notice people keep bringing up prices, but they forget that we've been very shrewd under our new manager. Coutinho (8.5mil) Sturridge (12 mil) Aspas (7mil) Toure (free) to name a few....

    I agree Coutinho and Sturridge are brilliant buys but Toure even on a free isnt good enough for a team like Liverpool, personally I think that Downing is one of the worst wingers ever to play in the prem and how he played for a team like Liverpool is beyond me. I do like the shape of Liverpool this season and actually think you have a good chance of breaking into the top 4.

    Good luck for the rest of the season

    To be honest i'm glad we've signed him, Ethers is struggling on the left and if I remember correctly Pennant couldn't cross to save his life when he first started out. We need to freshen up and with players coming in it may help others to follow suit. Good luck with your season Skylarker.

    Thanks <ok>

    Toure has been an absolute beast since joining. He had Benteke in his pocket all game against Villa, and that's not easy.

    Best of luck to you guys too <ok>

    No probs Skylarker but I gave you rep too!
    Because I said that you had "copied and pasted" my comment onto the Liverpool board. Can you take rep back? <laugh> I'm not so bothered tbh but you could have at least explained why it's on your board with nothing underneath apart from <doh> Maybe he is crap sorry, NOT good enough for Liverpool. But we are lil ole Stoke City not a BIG CLUB. If the lad has pace, I don't give a monkey's if he can't cross a ball. Neither can SHOTTON, and for some unknown reason. PULIS said he was our Gareth Bale. Which is maybe, just maybe WHY MH thinks that Assaidi will improve us. Hope this helps to explain WHY I THINK it's a GOOD deal for SCFC.

    P.S. Nice to see Sturridge getting a call up. <applause>

    Very curious to see how Assaidi does for you.

    Talented but lacking the attitude he seems.

    One down, hope we get Guidetti as well . He got a bagful of goals in the Dutch league and sounds a really good player.
