If we put enough resources into the academy the local talent will come through in time. In the meantime £13.5m will buy 2 or 3 players of Allen's standard from La Liga I would think. I'm guessing he'll be back one day anyway.

Page- I see that goal.com is the only website calling this deal, but i get the feeling there is something in it, even for them its a pretty wild story to throw out there without nobody else picking up on it and as its Liverpool we are talking about you'd have thought news would be elsewhere !!
As i said, hopefully this story is a load of bollocks, if it isnt then good luck to Joe Allen and Liverpool, i will never forget that Brenden Rodgers shafted us but im sure we will get our dose of Karma with him, for Liverpool,if they sign Joe for that money they have got a Bargin
I think he would have gone for allen even if he had siggy on board, he needs to impliment his style fast and getting the movement and tigerish midfield firing will set Liverpool up from the start, i have heard it said down our way that there could be a few of our boys targeted if he manges to get success in his first season, the obvious ones are Ash Williams and scott sinclair maybe Dyer as well, one thing is for sure, he likes to buy players he knows!! Borini,siggy,allen..
Im hoping joe will stay,at least for one more season, at least then he gets to see if Brenden will still be in a job, if brenden survives this season then he will do good things IMO.

Spurs might just gazump BR and get him for less, but i see why you lads are pissed off.
Would he still have been in for Allen if he'd got Siggi?
Is your owner as pissed off with BR as the fans?
Rodgers, "Once a Jack, always a......."!!
B0ll0cks!!! What a lying b@stard.....
I can see now why I felt the instinct not to wish him well when he left!! That pulling himself out of the reckoning for the Pool job, then dropping us like a stone to take it not more than 2wks later, really didn't feel right with me.....
To make matters worse, he's not content with that, he's unsettled one of our 'prize-jewels' to....
Feck off....
