Inter, Man City and AC Milan. Granted, Man City are some way behind the other two, but they're all big clubs.
. Just show's you the negoitating skills of Woodward....****ing useless. Plus you missed out the wages
A not-too-expensive price for a young-ish player with undoubted talent and (hopefully) a reasonable resale value. It's not the worst fit. 25 million on Lallana fits worse, I would have said.
So 16m for Italy's no1 striker who while a complete tit is proven in the Premier league or 11m for Shane Long Market is mental. However, he isn't very good at quick pacy counter attacking football and that is a concern for me [alongside being a total tit]
Yeah... didn't want him- but surprised we got him so cheap. I would have thought him worth at least £35mill in this modern over-inflated transfer age.
Ha! my post-grad Diplomas have far more value than the joke IOD qualifications you admit to for a start! As for Branscombe's comments who gives a toss what some journo says? He's only trying to keep his job by filling space. It's no great search for truths and facts. But then you can't be expected to be able to define that
They participated in one of the greatest games of football ever played so will never be thought of as small #legacy
I'm arguing - I don't want him! He's only a bargain if he works out (unless we somehow still manage to sell him for a profit), and I'm still sceptical on that. I also wonder what Sturridge is thinking right now.
Best Balotelli incident was when he was stopped in his Range Rover by the Police and searched. He had over £5k in cash on him. The Police asked him why he was carrying so much money, his reply "because I am rich"
Sturridge should welcome the competition and be working super hard to stay on form. This signing is ultimately to help Sturridge. Keep the pressure off him. Liverpool paid £12m for Sturridge and look likely to pay £16m for Balotelli. That adds up to £28m. The price Everton paid for Lukaku.
Surely the pressure's on him if he's got competition? I just hope he doesn't get pointlessly stuck on the bench and throw a strop.
