Think he's do really well there. Think he'd do well at about half the clubs in the league if they played to his style and gave him service. He's not going to create much himself but Palace with Zaha, Bolaisie, Townsend, Puncheon out wide, plenty of service given to him to score goals. Only thing is not sure he thinks they're at his level

Yep, he is not suited to a team who have the lions share of possession, he needs to be a distance from the midfield and run onto things, a lot like Lukaku in that respect. If you have the opposition pinned back he will never find space or be affective unless you have wide men that can put the ball right on his head.

A friend had a spiral brake, bone didn't snap into two clean pieces. Instead the brake spiralled up and around the bone, took him just under a year before he could run and had to have a cage for 2 months.
All he did was jump and land slightly awkward.

Ba, looks like a clean snap, but doesn't seem to be a compound fracture which always makes them look worse

Look at LEdley who was back playing in Euro's matter of months after breaking his leg, as you say some are a lot worse if not clean. Just seems to me that abreak higher up near the knee would be a lot worse than in say middle of shin. Guess would be pins would have to go into the knee joint if it was high up?

Like they been saying about lack of quality strikers at Euro's. So many teams don't play with a big CF because teams can just sit back knowing they can't hurt them with movement etc, which is why a lot of other teams used an attacking midfielder who offers movement behind the defence etc.

I think Lukaku has more to his game than Benteke, he has a bit more pace and can run behind the defence and link up play with his feet is probably a bit better, but I would say Benteke is a better finisher (going by his Villa days rather than with us).

Liverpool are closing in on a deal to sign Augsburg central defender Ragnar Klavan for a fee of £4.2m.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are chasing Newcastle midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum, 25, with Jurgen Klopp looking to negotiate a £20m deal. (Daily Telegraph)

If Lukaku bothered himself hed be good.

I think he misses far too many chances on the ground and is really only lethal with the head.

In short if everton want 60mil and get it id be amazed.

I can see him do the same again this year great up to january, seeking a move as he wont be cup tied then fade.
 
The links to GW came out of nowhere - I hope he is the alternative for Zielinski and not Dahoud.

Certainly adding more height and power to the team.

The interesting thing is how Klopp intends to use him. Not sure he is suited to a midfield 2.

No need to spend just for the sake of spending. Just get a lb and another CM who is first team material and all good

Spending loads isn't Klopp's way. This is the man who bought Caulker !! As you say he'll be looking to simply improve the areas where he's selling with better players for him, not big money or big name options, unless there are players who fall into those categories that are Klopp type players

Never heard of him...

Estonian captain and CB, 108 caps so plenty of experience. Guess would be as back up but could do with 1 more CB given we only really have Lovren/MAtip & Sakho

Not to worry, Jimmy will be able to tell you his inside leg measurement [HASHTAG]#itk[/HASHTAG]

I was talking about clean breaks. I realise there are more complicated breaks such as the one you highlighted.

A fracture is classed as a break too.

Can't remember how Ledley's was.
 
Gonzalo Higuain should have been the right midfield player for us, but the price is not reasonable. We need a commanding midfield player.
But if we buy a good player he can attain that level in two years. We do not have to pay over the odds for any player: we did that in the past
and it did not work. Klopp love to develop players, "we dreamers but becoming believers".

Im sure he is not suited to the two in midfield so im wondering if its real. The issue being its rather convienent link righr after sissoko.
