    Maybe he lacks confidence for whatever reason. Maybe LVG isnt getting the best out of him. Maybe he needs more time. But fck it, he has been woeful. We play with 10 when he's on the pitch. Worst of all he is taking a place away from other more deserving players.

    We're fine without him and we can do better in the summer if needed.

    Completely agree he's had plenty of chances so far as well. Can't see LVG dropping him tho :/

    You can see now why others laughed and walked away at the cost in taking him, we did try to warn you. Couldve gone the other way where he was good and still could, he does look ****e up to now though.

    You are being literally robbed by his fees at the moment, suppose you're used to it after the Rooney fiasco

    Some of you laugh at Balotelli but at least we can sell him an I think he'll come good, certainly more hope than Falcao

    Falcao's one saving grace is he reminds me a little of Anthony Kiedis of the RHCP, who are a band I like and also Julie Bradbury, dont know why

    Anyway, I digress. You're a bit of a laughing stock at the moment with our small group of teams who play footie in the right way. I just hope VG doesnt start trying to pinch our phillosephieeee

    I thought he turned you lot down? Based on club wealth and player wages I would say the price tag and wages of Balotelli and Lambert alone are more of a robbery to LFC surely?

    You'll need a buyer for both DR atleast we dont have that problem <whistle>

    As we wouldnt offer the ridiculous sums of money to loan him in! We dont just spunk money away in fees like you do

    Falcao isnt interested, at least our strike force are. Im suprised actually as Falcao is only trying to prove himself to Madrid, so he may yet be arsed to at least look like he gives a **** to get his move. The rumoured fees are embarrassing for you, I think you signed him as he was a name and it helped bring big sponsorship in

    I do think he'd have been better under Moyes though as he is far more attack minded than the tactical genius

    Don't care about the money at all, the Glazers have made enough out of this club they can afford to lose a few quid. Having spent money on loaning him won't affect any future transfers.

    Just frustrating watching him start when we have better options.

    Yeh you just gave Milan £16m through the goodness of your liverpudlian hearts lol.

    If we pay thw £43m then it would be embarrassing. The rumoured wages now look like a terrible mistake but hindsight is a wonderful thing. He was a quality striker but we were stupid to rely just on that considering the serious injury he had. You're probably right about sponsorship or more likely it was to make a statement abour bringing in a big name on Woodward's part?

    Moyes and Falcao....I can only dream <laugh>

    Yep. I couldn't get a **** about the money paid for him. It is only the GGs money and there is plenty more from where it is from. <ok> if he is **** and deserve to be benched then he should be! as the richest club, money is not the consideration. The RS seem to be more concerned for United s finances than we are.

    He is lacking pace, he makes the right runs but arrives two steps after the ball has gone. This could be due to bad passing but when you have several different players making the pass the common denominator seems to be Falcao.

    I would like to see Rooney and Wilson play as a pair for the odd game.

    Yeh that's how I feel about it. He was worth a punt but hasnt worked. It happens. I still think he could go elsewhere in the summer and get his form back.

    Both livpl and united will likely need another striker soon enough. I still think we'll sign someone decent. Do u trust Rogers to? Or is a bid for Jermaine Defoe on the cards next?

    I do trust, we were awful earlier in the season but we are doing good now *touch wood

    As you know that can change, our next 4 fixtures, Besiktas H, Southampton A, Besiktas A, Man City H so very tough! All v close together as well

    I was suprised we signed Ballotelli + Lambert, I think lessons have been learnt. They'll get my support though whilst they are with us. We accepted an offer I think on Lambert in Jan but he didnt want to move

    All in all my faith in Rodgers is strong, I feel we are going to have a good finish to the season *touch wood

    You're either taking the piss or you genuinely are as clueless as you appear to be.
