i was a bit pissed off about it, not sure if i was on here though. oddly at the time i felt we should have got young and you would have been better off with downing.
Wouldn't say happy but could understand it. we had Carroll, we needed a proper winger who was going to put crosse into him and everything suggested Downing would be that man. Unfortunately he was overpriced and he seemed to lose desire or confidence and just never got going.
About the same. Thought he was good, not great, but that we were paying too much for him because he was English (he didn't even turn out to be good though).
Fair dos guys Lazar Markovic is almost certain to be the next arrival. LFC have been tracking him for some time & are ready to meet his £20m clause. (Dom King) Andy Hunter, Guardian - ‪#‎LFC‬ are prepared to improve their attacking options by making an offer for Lazar Markovic, who has a £20m release clause
Reports coming out of France claim Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Lille and Belgium forward Divock Origi.
I always thought Downing was a bit over-rated and definitely overpriced but I'm always supportive of our players. It's taken a long sequence of consistently bad performances from Johnson for me to start having a go at him.
Ffs, according to Sky Sports and Ballague negotiations are taking place in Barcelona to bring Suarez to the Nou Campe, someone should tell the ****s that unless LFC are involved in any negotiations they ain't negotiations. Barcelona and Real Madrid still want Luis Suarez and negotiations have already begun over a move from Liverpool to Spain, according to Sky Sports Spanish football pundit Guillem Balague. The Uruguayan’s Liverpool contract is rumoured to contain a buyout clause and Suarez was heavily linked with a move to both clubs at the start of the World Cup. Suarez’s bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini had cast doubt on whether the Spanish giants would move for him, but Balague insists the interest remains undiminished and talks between Liverpool and Barcelona continue over a switch to La Liga. “It is quite clear that Barcelona and Real Madrid have not been put off by the situation but Barcelona at least will want Suarez to apologise at some point because that has been missing,” Balague told Sky Sports News. “There is no doubt whatsoever that Barcelona still want the player. Real Madrid think they’ve still got an option of getting him and of course even though there is a buyout clause of 80m euros. “What Barcelona would like perhaps is bringing that price down and taking advantage of the situation. In any case negotiations will continue. There have been conversations taking place at the highest level. The president of Barcelona (Josep Maria) Bartomeu has taken over the conversations. “There have been talks between Luis Suarez’s representatives and Barcelona, but there have also been talks for months between those representatives and Real Madrid. “Real Madrid thought they had the player wrapped up. They thought they could go and negotiate with Liverpool this summer but things changed the moment Luis Suarez indicated his preferred choice would be Barcelona. “I think perhaps now after the (biting) incident things have changed a little bit. It would be difficult for Luis to go back to Liverpool I assume but in any case Barcelona still want him. “If they bring €70m or €80m to the table I’m sure Liverpool will at least have to listen to that. It seems clear that at some point in his career he wanted to come to Spain and the favourites at the moment, if Liverpool accept a transfer, will be Barcelona." Asked if any potential move would be an outright cash transaction, Balague said that one or more players could be part of a deal that could see Suarez move to the Nou Camp. “It could be one or two players,” he said. “I think Liverpool may accept Alexis (Sanchez) and Pedro if that was a possibility. It’s quite clear that Barcelona would also accept Alexis and Pedro moving to Liverpool. “Pedro said after Spain got knocked out of the World Cup that he would talk to Barcelona about his future. It’s up to him if he wants to stay. He’s still under contract but if he gets pushed then he will have to decide where to go. “It’s the same with Alexis. He’s got an offer from Juventus and an offer from Liverpool but he will have to decide which one he prefers.” Cheeky ****s.
Scored more goals than Lukaku in the WC this year and has same amount of goals as Rooney in 3 World Cups
Think the BBC were running a similar story but they didn't even get Suarez's transfer fee to us correct so.......................
Whether he's banned or not LFC still say whether he stays or goes, but the Spaniards are already according to the article dictating the players future and the terms of his sale.
Looks good,19 yrs old I think. He's quick with good feet and physically strong. Did I hear a rumour he would be loaned back to Lille straight away?
