Vermaelen? He's off to Barca it seems... what's that mean for Agger and his "proposed move" that no one has actually reported on despite us having a massive thread about him and his impending departure
Seems strange that he wants to go there and be an understudy to the best keeper in the world at the moment. Still £2.5m and £100k p/w off the wages for someone who was never going to play isn't bad. Does make you wonder, for £2.5m there should have been a host of clubs lining up for him to make him first choice. You'd think at his age he'd want to be playing first team football, especially with the Spanish GK situation uncertain, now would be his best chance to make himself the number 1.
Must be no-one willing to pay Reina's ridiculous wages and Pep is salivating at another false keeper. Agger is Barca's last ditch solution apparently. None of their fans want him - they'll go mad if he signs over Benatia, Marquinhos etc. Looks like we'll see Moreno, Manquillo in and Borini, Reina out this week. Good business. EDIT: They've an attacking LB called Lucas Digne..?
I'd like to see Borini sold... but only if we're getting a new striker in. Hate to be stuck with having to start Lambert in the Premier League until Studge gets back to full health. Borini isn't much better- but he would be more likely to get an assist.
Noticed during the match this morning that he'd changed his twitter picture from a Liverpool one to him celebrating in a Sunderland shirt - think it's him being cheeky as he's quite active on twitter. EDIT: Think Lacazette would be a realistic signing if/when Borini goes. But it'll be Bony.
in the end no matter what the F napoli were offering 12 months ago we should have done a permenant deal then. this just shows how out of line with some leagues our wages are... sadly we can lump pepe in with jovanovic, cole and voronin for players on huge wages which can't be shifted. Pay a keeper 100k and you'd better be top of the league eh? lloris was reputed on 70k per week?
Good spot. STill has LFC footballer though. https://twitter.com/borinifabio29 please log in to view this image
May just be waiting for Liverpool to get a deal agreed for a replacement before they let him go. Or maybe he's like Dnipro owner and is just sitting there refusing to sign the contract. Plank still hasn't moved anywhere, has he?
