Bit too soon to be putting Moreno in as first pick, same for Manquillo, but maybe it's just me knowing nothing about the guy. Guess the good thing is that we've got plenty of depth on both planks now. That second set of four could easily be a starting four.
Suso doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. Maybe Moreno put some pressure from his side and we've agreed another £4m-£5m or so as add ons which satisfy their need.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28765444 The news we've been waiting for £12mil - absolute bargain. Just think Man Utd spent £32 mil on the english version (but not even as good)
Well, Mankiller gets in ahead of Johnson by virtue of not being Johnson, but should be behind Flanno based on last year. Nice that we actually have 2 decent enough options for each position at the back 4 now though.
4-5 mill of addons would only just make the deal worth 16-17mill which is what Sevila turned down from us in the first case... Just seems odd to finally agree at 12mill
I'm not necercerelly. Picking between Skrtel and Sakho is tough to. I predict Johnson will play LB against Saints.
Said that earlier, seems odd considering it seems we originally bid £16m and they wanted £20m and now we've apparently got him for £12m. Make me wonder if he's put some pressure on from his side as well or maybe Sevilla have signed someone now that they hadn't before which make selling him ok now?
I somehow get the feeling that Johnson has some incriminating photo against Rodgers and blackmails him to keep picking him for the first team.
I ****ing hope not Flappy. Even though he was okay against Dortmund I'd much rather have Manquillo and Flanno. Or Moreno if he's there in time.
Sunday would be pushing it a little wouldn't it? Won't have much chance to train and learn team tactics in such a short period of time.
Our defense is strong. All positions now have great competition, finally we've sorted out our main problem over the last few seasons. Very happy with our squad now. Solid defense Solid and exciting rapid midfield with strength and flair Rapid forwards (Sterling, Sturridge, Markovic) - although Sterling and Markovic could be seen as midfielders. A new Striker and we are a lot stronger than last season even without Suarez in my opinion. Exciting times lads
Well BBC saying medical is "later this week" so he'd in theory only have 1 o2 r 2 days training before Sunday so highly doubt he'd play.
Being greedy I'd still like a top striker and RB but appreciate we have 3 RB's at the moment (if Kelly goes) so won't be getting anyone. I think we haven't been able to shift Johnson so have had to say we'll keep you this year, then you can **** off on a freebie and we'll sign a 1st team RB if Flanno & Mankiller still aren't quite ready for that. So just a top striker to come now. Bony would be my back up if we can't get a player 1 level above that. I know they say, if you can't get anyone, don't waste your cash but I think we have to get someone else this window or we could very well miss out on CL again should something happen to Sturridge and we still wont be in a position to sign a top class CF.
