Hopefully, this thread will become quite fat over the coming weeks, there's certainly the potential with all the movers. Anyway, to start with we have the illustrious Lallana, who sadly won't be able to face us due to damaging his lateral collateral ligament. Shame. Then we have Luke Shaw. His new manager Louis Van Gaal is not impressed with his fitness. "Luke needs to be fit and heâs not very fit and canât perform how I want. He needs to be fit and to train individually." Ouch. Two more & we can start a rumour about an old gypsy curse.....HELL YEAH!
I find the misfortune of our former players very funny. Something has to amuse us right now, and that's it.
We are allowed the odd snigger, surely. After-all, we actually benefit from Shaw doing well their with lots of performance related stuff in his contract, but did we forget to tell them that he suffers from colds on a monthly basis & is prone to bloating!
Any misfortune for any of these rats should be greeted with a hearty cheer and a smug grin...Barstewards!!!!!!!!!
We've got some players you can have then... Buy Allen and Borini and you can have Glen Johnson for free!
Allen! Just like xavi Isn't he the first evidence of Brenda's fantastic tactic of paying way over the odds for players? You can keep Glen, you never know when you might need someone to clean the squads boots, or stand in for a corner flag if one gets broken. Borini on the other hand would be welcome even if it was just to piss Poyet off.
So ... - Lallana is injured - Shaw is deemed "not fit enough" - Lovren couldn't get a visa in time to join the preseason in the US Not exactly the perfect starts at their new clubs, all 3 could be playing catch-up. That just leaves Calum then ... I don't think any of us would wish bad on Rickie would we!?!
Calum has signed for a club who bought a better right back a few days earlier so he won't get to play at all...does that count?
So Lallana is injured, Shaw has been made to train alone due to fitness, Lovren was refused a visa to the US, and our beloved Rickie has missed a pen. Weird. Watch out Chambers is what I say.
Repeat of Arsenal just starting against Benfica with Chambers at CB, if you want to watch him. On BT Sport 1
You would think with all the rain they have,, the grass would be greener up north. Evidently not! It was a **** pen from Rickie, maybe the pressure of playing for a team like Liverpool does play apart. Fear for Twatbeard on that front given it took him a season to adjust to the Prem and captaincy at our modest club. Hopefully Guly is fairing a little better.
