Stoke's bid for Assaidi was accepted but they couldn't agree personal terms http://www1.skysports.com/football/...d-fees-for-nathan-redmond-and-oussama-assaidi
So our summer of removing the deadwood hasn't really worked so far. We got rid of Pepe for peanuts and Kelly (who I would have preferred to keep above the likes of Coates etc) and just loaned a bunch of players out again. I really hope we can get some shifted before the end of the deadline cos our squad looks a bit bloated with what will be unused ****e currently.
stick the muppet with the under 10's, and just write the wages off lol. was the ass being greedy with wage demands or stoke trying to take the piss? i know which one i believe it to be, but clubs aren't as innocent as they make out.
It's becoming an issue that we accept the bid and the players then reject the new terms. Probably as the wages aren't as good. It's a crap mentality. £7m for Assaidi and £14m for Borini, now just rotting away on our bench
Not even on our bench. - Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe, 18, will join Championship side Bolton on loan after being squeezed out at Anfield following the summer arrivals of Lazar Markovic, 20, and Adam Lallana, 26. (Daily Mirror) - Our Twitter signing to today is Balotelli.
we've loaned out ilori, aspas, tex, alberto and now Ibe. Anyone else think we're actually still pretty thin :/. I would have though Ibe was much needed for 4 competitions this year!
Today's rumours are brought to you by the letter B for Balotelli and the number 14 for 14m. please log in to view this image
esp since we havent seen anything from the other 2 yet to know how they will settle, and ibe impressed me in pre season.
In some areas yes. But noyt the areas those players play in. Ilori CB - Skrtel, Lovren, Agger, Skaho, Toure. Aspas ST/WF - Sturridge, Lambert, Borini, Sterling, Markovic. Texeira AM/WF - Coutino, Allen, Lallana, Suso, Sterling, Markovic. Alberto CM/AM - Coutinho, Allen, Lallana, Suso, Sterling, Markovic, Henderson. Ibe WF/Am - Sterling, Markovic, Lallana, Coutinho, Suso. Wisdom (CB, RB) on loan to. You list half the squad in his positions. We need a striker but Aspas isnt him. I dont think we will play 2 proper wingers ery often so Sterling and Markovic should be enough. I'm more concerned about Suso getting enough games.
There's a lot of repetition in those lists! I feel that we're only a couple of injuries away from being in the **** tbh if we're aiming to compete in more than one competition. Unless BR is confident we will make additions before the window closes
Thats because some play multiple positions or havnt established positions yet. I like the two teams plus some extra versatile extras approach. Mignolet Manquillo Skrtel Lovren Moreno Henderson Gerrard Coutinho Lallana Sturridge Sterling Jones Flanagan Agger Sakho Enrique Can Lucas Allen Suso ????? Markovic Extra: GK - no CB - Toure FB - Johnson MF - No? Could have kept Alberto, but Lallana ca play here FR -Lambert I do think we could have possible done with keeping 1 of the more attacking loanees.
