Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours thread

For the lols.

 

According to Ballague.

He's a complete tit

 

Yep, in hindsight, we should have spent the £20m Marko on someone more refined but he is definitely someone for the future.

But Lallana for me was always going to be a starter - he was the marquee signing of the summer and Rodgers's number 1 target. By default, he was the Suarez replacement - spending £25m for a player to rotate with Coutinho wouldn't make sense (but then again, this is Rodgers we're talking about!)

 

I agree he is...

he's an awful hack.

but..... given city's barca link at technical director it might be quite funny if true.

 

yeah I agree he was... and i think coutinho was the guy he was dropping not sterling. he was never a direct suarez replacement.

I just think 36mil plus a combined 16-180k of wages would have got a half decent striker... hell it would have got benteke

 

Yep, you would think it - but this is LFC we're talking about!

 

Beforehand it was your opinion (luv was another one who said it, I seem to remember). Hindsight tells you you were right.
I seem to remember you weren't so chuffed about Coutinho or Sturridge either.

 

AC Milan apparently interested in Lucas. Think if we can get £7m for him then take it as he clearly isn't in Rodgers plans

 

yeah you are right

 

I'd be really sorry to see Lucas go, he's been a model professional and a great servant to the club. He's still got a lot to offer but obviously not in BR's plans as already mentioned. Quite concerning that in 3 years he's swept the club clean [bar Skrtel, who's obviously next].

 

All this ^

 

sure... i'm really sorry he got injured playing chelsea in a damned league cup game.

i'm confident had it not happened we might have been a position higher in the league (7th to 6th not 2nd to 1st)

I just don't think he can get around

 

Model professional who has had to consistently fight his way into the team. But even at his peak, he was not good enough.

Wish him all the best.

 

I think you need to change your name to Jimmy Stoneheart, there's not a scrap of sentiment in there is there

 

Is it concerning? Cleaned up players who before he came hadn't finished in top 4 for 3/4 years and were big earners.

 

It's concerning for me that we now have no world class or knocking on the door world class or top internationals in the side - Coutinho maybe classed as knocking on the door as I rate him highly - but which top teams have done anything without top players?

 

Who has he got rid of that you'd suggest as world class or knocking on the door? Lucas? Agger? Reina?

 

Reins, Suarez, Sterling (maybe one day will be), Gerrard (although not for a few years), Aspas.

 

Those and Gerrard, Kuyt [top international], Suarez, Sterling ....

 

Not to mention the world class medical team who have since come out in support of the Chelsea doctor
