    Batshit Balotelli is now on a par with Aguero in the land of the kopite, a better bet than Suarez who was a nutter apparently.

    Lovren is vastly overrated

    The previous season the RS said he was a load of crap when playing for city. Now he is world class <laugh>

    He is the reason why the RS will not even come near the top 4 this season. <ok>

    Apparently the best man manager on the planet 'B-Rod' will be the man to tame him <laugh>

    The Moreno nonsense takes the biscuit though.

    A player I can guarantee 97% of them had never f**king heard of until the very second they were linked with him is now the best young left back in the world. Better than all those who actually just played in the world cup. All of them.

    Different level.

    Best of luck with taming Tagliatelle. Just keep him locked in a tin shed on bonfire night

    This is a cracker.

    "I was dead against him to start with when we were initially linked with him, but the more I thought about it, the more I thought it might become a good deal.

    He's a big strong player that can play up top, hold the ball up, run in behind. As Rodgers said before, he has all the attributes to be a top striker...

    Sorts himself out and £16m is a bargain..."

    Loosely translated.

    "I always thought he was ****e and couldn't believe that we were linked with him. Now we've signed him I've decided that he's world ****ing class and am not concerned by the fact that he's being traded for the same price for the third time. Brendan will take him in the same way that he tamed Suarez (chomp)."

    First to admit here that I had never heard of Rojo until we signed him. As for judging his ability, I can only offer an opinions once he has played 10 games. Quite often a player, no matter how well known, can take time to gel into his new side. He could be brilliant, but also ho could turn out to be mediocre. Veron was a classic example of failure, Vidic and Evra started off terrible, but turned out to be superb signings

    Markovic was another, who the **** had ever heard of him let alone seen the ****er? But no, the RS knew all about him apparently, as one of their number - a local lad - from Eastern Europe - once made a post about him. Which automatically made them all qualified to speak about him and his 'qualities'. Top notch bellendery

    Okay fair enough


    I think he's good and will turn out to be one of our best signings this summer

    I hadn't heard of him until the world cup and even though he played in the final I can't really say I noticed him too much.

    Therefore I won't claim he's world class and will pass judgement once I've seen him play a few times. Then you can judge.

    This is the way with most sane non spangle headed football followers.

    Nor will I take the word of an 'expert' who could be f**king anyone for all I know as I've never heard of him.

    All Liverpool's signings have been exactly the right players for the system and the players that the fans wanted. Top class.

    But that is applying common sense Chief. Somehow it never happens on other boards, whoever they sign is world class. Andy Caroll comes to mind, wasn't that 2 years ago?

    Excluding weirdy beardy, as even they couldn't argue that he was a good buy @£25m

    Oh and big Lambo's legs have gone like

    Can is better than Zidane though, that was decreed after 20 minutes in pre season against the mighty Preston

    Lallana will do next to nothing at Liverpool. I'd put money on it. I can't even see how he'll get into the team. Lambert has effectively retired and will have just realised that now that Balotelli is on his way. The rest of them I know nothing about as I haven't watched their YouTube clips but give me five minutes and I'll be as up to speed as the hardcore Liverpool fans! I might even write a book about it. "The Summer of 2014: They Dared to Dream Again".

    Seriously, dont give up your day job. I can still manage to be kind even to a complete f**wit like yourself, maybe you found your video hilarious?
    I agree. I feel we have signed players that will be good to how we play, isnt that what Louis Van Jesus Gaal is trying to do? Makes sense does it not?

    Liverpools signings are pretty poor. The positive for them is that they have strengthened the squad but the first team is weaker.

    If they were offered this around April each and every one of them would have laughed at you for suggesting it.

    One thing that has to said on here is that Tobes applies common sense. But then when you check it out, he's an Everton fan, and like 99% of the blue side of Merseyside, they tend to be realistic about football . On the other hand, 1% of the red side are sensible, but most are based in Norway anyway
