Spurs have reportedly bid £9m on Llorente. If he's available I'm surprised as hell Liverpool and any of the other big prem clubs arent in for him. He'd be a great signing.
Here's the RedLadSonofAnfield brutal honesty assessment of our current squad... don't care how you want to dress it up in your personal delusion this is the truth Mignolet - alright Bogdan - **** Can - potential talent, been ok Flanagan - mr injury no. 2 Skrtel - **** but experienced so he's good isn't he Toure - **** Sakho - alright Enrique - done Lovren - utter **** Moreno - alright Milner - ?? Henderson - alright Lucas - **** Allen - **** Lallana - **** Markovic - **** Coutinho - talent Sterling - knobhead, sometimes talent, most of the time **** Ings - **** Balotelli - utter **** Sturridge - mr injury no. 1 Lambert - **** Origi - ?? Looking good isn't it??
You gave a perfect example that completely undermines your own point in Markovic! I could list another dozen foreigners we've bought and better them using youth examples from our current squad!
That's interesting mate. Does the same apply to Austin were we to hold onto him for the last year of his contract? The reason I ask is they are only talking about 10-15m for him now. He might be worth far more than the 3-8m difference if he scored the goals to get us back up again.
We was challenging for the title and the club as a whole had a feel good factor about it yet if you came on here after a game (win, lose or draw) the world was about to end
Think Austin is 25? The rules I think apply to under 24's provided they've only been at one club and they're leaving on a bosman to another English team (no comp if goes abroad)
@the defence @everyone including Suarez when we lost or drew @the lack of crowd atmosphere at times There was a whole list of stuff including when we won. It was embarrassing at times.
So not because of his footballing abilities then? Just his age and nationality make him average? I suppose Balotelli is better than Kane because Balotelli is young and foreign where as Kane is young and English
It's bloody incredible we manage to avoid relegation each year... Rodgers surely is manager of the year for getting this bunch into the top half of the table
Mignolet - Decent keeper, good shot stopper and decent with crosses (when sticking to punching), not great with his feet but is alright when he sticks to the basics. Biggest problem is inconsistent Bogdan - not great but better than Jones so its an improvement Can - good player that is versatile, needs to find a position though Flanagan - Good reliable consistent player that knows his limitations. Has passion, desire and heart in liking to players such as Carragher and loves the club in the same way too Skrtel - When played in the right system he's great. Could be improved upon but he is better than some other CB's at clubs in and around us. Toure - Shouldn't have been kept on Sakho - very good player that is growing with each passing season. Enrique - Decent squad player that can do a job in the first team Lovren - Poor Moreno - Can't defend, not great going forward but plenty of energy. Not a big fan TBH Milner - Great signing, will be a key player for us IMO Henderson - Quality player Lucas - Reliable player and never lets the club down Allen - Decent squad option Lallana - Decent player, I think he could really shine if there were better players in front of him that he could link up with. Markovic - Poor first season but will get better. Needs to improve his end product Coutinho - Top quality, not quite top level but getting there. Sterling - Overrated IMO but will become a very good player in time. Needs to improve the end product if he wants to get there though. Ings - Decent young players Balotelli - **** Sturridge - Quality striker when fit Lambert - Shouldn't have been signed Origi - Had a good 2013-14 season and world cup, poor last year. No idea what to expect Players missed: Wisdom - had a decent first half of the season until Pulis came in andplayed four CBs across the back line. Decent squad player that won't let anyone down. Mankiller - good reliable player and very similar to Flanno IMO Coates - Probably a better option than Toure and Lovren but can't see him being with us come September. Ilori - Decent player that should be part of the first team now. Ibe - Quality player that has more about him than Sterling IMO Alberto - Not good enough Borini - Needs to be moved on Happy to see Johnson, Jones and, although heavy heartedly, Gerrard go as well. Key: Players I'd definitely keep Players I'm not convinced about but would keep for now unless a better option becomes available Players I'd sack off immediately Players that I wouldn't have bought this summer
Did you copy that from someone else? Seems like a lot of effort for you... totally agree on all bar Skrtel and Lovren. Would make them both blue. lovren needs another ther year to prove he can play, his value can't go any lower than it is atm so no point selling... There's a half decent defender in there, just needs to come out. Skrtel, not a fan of but atm he's better than anything else we have. Still pisses me off every time he back off until he hits his 18 yard box and by then the player has 4 yards of space to shoot or pick a pass. Thats the the good thing about Sakho and Agger before. They attack players and try to make tackles, now and then they'll miss and be beaten but it shows intent and means the whole defence doesn't drop back too far.
I'm sure Juve felt the same way. 2 Seasons, 23 goals, rather average really. No thanks, we've been down the big lump striker before, doesn't work for us. Frankly so have Spurs, surprised to see them fall for it again (although alot cheaper than Salado) .
