Think that deal feel through.
Zaha is being bought has backup, can't see him getting into their first XI on a regular basis.
He's been a bit hit and miss since his return to Palace, my mate John.. said he's the most talented player on their squad but he's a bit of a idiot.. said hes needs to buckle down and be less of a "playa" off the pitch and more of a "player" on it!

sounds the complete and utter opposite of what poch would want in a player.
 
one point.... is there ANYWHERE that you can get a genuine head screwed on professional player who wants to achieve great things any more?

they ALL seem to want to be on footballers wives and live like balotelli these days.

Part of the job description nowadays..
Its part of the "Image"...
Don't have a Public Image (good or bad) then you don't get the £'s

Those guys still have an "Image"
Granted, its not like some of the lads here in the UK, get a bit of money early and think they've made it, think, for a while, that went to the head of the likes of Sterling and Ibe, if they stuck to the football, they'd have progressed more, rather than waste a season or two of early development!
 
I agree, though we missed out on a good player there.
As usual, it'll be Rodgers or "the club" that gets accused of screwing up, but Mankiller has consistently struggled to make an impression elsewhere, so I suspect it's more complicated than that.

Not really blaming anyone there, just thought he looked a good player when I watched him.
 
Klopp on defensive midfield
“We have situations when we played with different plays. Kev Stewart, Lucas Leiva played a lot of times. Emre Can joined us late and Hendo did it well.
“If you play a pass you need to have an idea about the player you give the ball too, if he gets the ball he has two or three opportunities. This was more the issue than a holding player.”

I know you weren't. <ok>
I was just making a pre-emptive strike, because rushing to blame someone without knowing the facts is the sort of thing that happens a lot on here.

I thought he looked ok too, but a consistent inability to settle anywhere suggests that there's something not quite right.

city sign bravo. Mito won't be impressed, he's a short ass for a keeper at 6ft
 
We live in the age of reality TV where everyone wants to be famous as quickly as possible. Money and fame as motivators are taking over from talent. In football that has translated into love of the game and passion to be the best coming second place to the fastest route to the biggest pile of cash and sponsor deals.

I blame the parents <whistle>
 
However, according to reports in Turkey, Liverpool have been thwarted in their bid to bring Martins Indi in as defensive cover, with a £4.3m bid being turned down by Porto.

Instead, it's reported that the 24-year-old is off to Besiktas.

Elsewhere, and former Liverpool defender Mark Lawrenson has urged the Reds to sign Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart.

Hart has been dropped by new City boss Pep Guardiola, and is expected to leave the Etihad before the transfer window closes.

"If I were Liverpool, I’d be all over Joe Hart,” Lawrenson told Radio Five Live

“He’s better than their three goalkeepers put together.”

Lawro might be overlooking the fact that the Reds have already spent money on a new goalkeeper this summer, in Loris Karius.
