Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

He just enjoys a good fish thats all... He is really good at it.

 

Same could be said when going on with Fat Frank, Fatboy Rooney and Starfish Stevey. At City he still has a relatively good record (especially if you look at the goals per minute) even accounting for playing under Mancini who is a defensively manager and going off the rails.

At Milan he still scored goals.

I just don't believe it when people say he is rubbish. Okay he might not fit. He's a pain in the arse and he might have lost it and will never have it if he isn't allowed to do his thing but for people to say he's rubbish because hes not doing it for Pool doesn't mean hes worse than Ings. His record in the premier league is better than Ings even accounting for this crap season.

 

Link please

 

Of course it doesn't.

However when he's pulled several I have a virus sickies and isn't bothered to play then that makes him worse unfortunately.

I dearly wish wed have found a medical issue with him not Remy and you'd signed him instead. I'm pretty sure your club would not have tolerated him at all.

 

Go ask uir he confirmed that I think.

Or better yet go find Astro and ask him..

 

To be honest, I do "hope" that both Markovic and Moreno do come good, both young with bags of potential, this last year will hopefully have helped them bed in and with a bit more development, consistent game time, think (hope) they can be assets.. Mario, I wanted to believe but he's not really done it and given his history/attitude, can't see that changing.

 

Markovic improved a bit over the year. He needs to be minded and brought on. Rodgers failed to do that.

Moreno is atrocious bad positional and in awareness and badly needs coaching. It got so bad rodgers put markovic in his place which says it all. Again I'd seriously question how he was not coached to improve one iota over the entire season.

As it stands moreno at least was a buy at value at 12Mil but markovic was poor value and shows why our scouts let us down. Should be buying from home club not paying top value from benfica

 

i can see potential in Moreno, maybe not the position he is currently playing in but potential is there, i honestly don't see it with Markovic and don't understand why we spent £20 mill on him.

Ibe has done more with the time he has been given, and people said he wasn't ready.

Not sure with mario, maybe with less focus on him and media attention he may do well for us in europa and start showing the potential we all know he has in him.

 

1. Moreno. Left full should be a lot easier to play than left wing. It's about work rate, sprinting back not trotting back, positional play and knowing where the threat is and covering in the box properly. A bit work work and attitude should sort most of that.

2. Balotelli. Needs to play with a smile on his face. He is trying too hard to play a conservative game and not punch people so he's not up and at it in rest of his game. If he'd just take it in and draw the foul it would not be too bad... it's like this look at stone game where he was basically assaulted off the Ball with a kick. That was early on design to get him to get himself sent off.... same type of stuff Barton is baited with. In fairness to balotelli he didn't bite but he's just inhibiting his whole game not seeing maturely what's what and putting his agression to proper use. Balotelli could be as good a player as Costa but never will be due to mentality.

3. Markovic is a victim of fee. We have to give him a go next season as he showed at the very minimum work rate and a bit of toughness at rwb so we should give him some go especially in Europe group phase and hopefully go we'll and take it on.

Or Liverpool

 

so baloteli stats

inter
2007/08 15 games 7 goals... 4 in cup from 4 games
2008/09 31 games 10 goals... 8 in league
2009/10 40 games 11 goals 9 in league

city

2010/11 28 games 10 goals... 3 in europe. 6 in league form 17
2011/12 32 games 17 goals. again 3 in europe, 13 in league, from 23
2012/13 20 games 3 goals. 2 in league in 10 games.. sold jan

AC milan
2012/13 13 games 12 goals
2013.14 41 games 18 goals, 14 in league 3 in europe

LFC
2014/15 26 games 4 goals, 2 in europe.

not at inter lets be fair he was a young player trying to get in. its a 1 in 3 record at best. At city he does ok unitl relations break down with mancini, only 2011/12 comes to 1 in 2

Ac milan is main man has a point to prove and does well enough. Lots of goals and then the italian dream ends with the italian team effort in 2014 WC where is is not exactly after covering himself in glory.

LFC total fail.

now nobody is saying he has no talent i reckon... but those of us old enough to remember the comics would know gorgeous george the gent who had a rocket of a boot but wanted it put on his toe as he would not run for it.

his history is fallings out at city, inter, ac.... then he comes to lfc and manager either never wanted him or got tired of him by christmas and publically lashed him.

 

Interesting, thanks.

I would take this bit to mean no loan fee though

At the same time the SPORTING SAD reached the agreement with Manchester United in the temporary cession, free of charge, to the SPORTING SAD athlete Nani, until the end of the season 2014/2015.

 

Thats fair enough mito. Hes not going to be your suarez or your aguero or your torres. An all action player (he wants to be though always dropping off but so slow on the ball) but most strikers arent this sort of player. Most strikers don't collect the ball and take everyone on. Admittedly he could make some proper runs off the ball.

This season at pool he only played around 10 full games before making all sub appearances and the same again for city in the 3rd season (they had dzeko aguero and tevez all ahead of him and rightly so) where most of his appearances were subs. I think you are doing him a injustice there.

 

You can dress it up a pretty pink fluffy stuff all you like. Stats or no stats, Mario Balotelli is a lazy **** player with a poor attitude who shouldn't have ever been anywhere near Liverpool Football Club!

 

Doesnt work like that... Under 21s don't have to be registered

 

But they can be to boost HG figures

 

the point is the rule is 21 and the rule will come in in 2017.

so most listed will be over 21 and have to be registered to play.

and you won't be able to buy a kid at 18 or 17 and hold for 3 years and then call hg it will be from 15.
