I can appreciate that he does the defending bit well in midfield but he's literally only competent at 50% of the things you're meant to be good at as a central midfielder.
I'm liking him more and more as a central defender though.
Tbf it was posted on manutd.com.
Unless it works, then it's genius!
50 millionnnnnnn
I hope we find a suitable replacement when he goes. We sorely missed him against Southampton.
Mark Noble
hahah
hahahahahahhah
pardew and kinnear would probably do that
i cant support the team no mo

That's what you get for talking shit you spunkbubble
Haha the dude is the biggest troll jn Turkish football. Fenerbahce is his number one target and I wouldn't be surprised if they ordered some hitman right about now to take him out. Anyway he isn't arrested that was just a rumor. This morning shit hit the fan in Turkish politics and business. Bribery and fraud in Turkish construction projects leading to the arrest of 38 people, consisting of some big business dudes and even sons of some ministers. This is huge and even good old Erdo didn't know what the fuck is going on. Shocking shit I tell you!
Warning: Kinda long LFC post incoming.
I suspect that we're going to see some interesting moves for LFC over the next few transfer windows, and the outs will probably be as interesting as the players coming in.
I expect Agger and Aspas to be the players departing in January. Agger has already been covered, but it seems like with Aspas, he's just given up. He tweets a lot about Celta Vigo and his family, which makes me think he's a bit homesick, and he didn't help himself by heaping on the pressure and choosing the number 9 shirt. Carroll may have tainted it somewhat, but 9 is still an iconic number for LFC. You wear it, you need to strive to be a real monster of a striker, and I just don't think Aspas wants it enough.
I also think that if Skrtel gets injured next year, Rodgers will want to start phasing him out. He's had a great season for us so far (own goals aside), but you just know he could go back to being dogshit next season. I would hope Rodgers is considering either Kelly or Coates as possible long term partners for Sakho, but I suspect we might just as easily go back into the transfer market in the summer.
I expect Borini to return in the summer, and be given until January 2015 to prove himself, same with Assaidi. We know both players have it on their locker, and could be good squad players, but if they can't deal with the weight of the shirt then they might as well go.
Neither of our loans will be permanent. I'd be surprised if Cissokho played for us again with Flanagan doing so well. I'd get rid of both in January, but I imagine Rodgers will persevere for the sake of some depth if nothing else.
Finally, I think this will be Johnson's last season with us. His displays are becoming increasingly erratic, and this could be his last chance to play in Spain, which I believe he has wanted to do for some time. Replacing him in the summer will be the most difficult challenge.
That is, if Suarez doesn't leave too...

Sweet, more 3-5-2 bros.
Seems quite bit farfetched.
Aspas to leave after 6 months? No way, especially after 6 months. The fact that he might be homesick or too pressured is going to be irrelevant in the eyes of management since they will just assume he has not had enough time here.
Meanwhile, you display a huge amount of patience to Borini and Assaidi who are far more likely to leave. I myself think Borini should be given more time here, yet with heavy interest still from Italian clubs I doubt Liverpool will skip the chance to make their money back on him. And Rodgers has never shown any interest in Assaidi. A few wondergoals won't change that at all, particularly given that his general loan spell hasn't been that impressive thus far
Other than Suarez, Gerrard and perhaps Sturridge, I think Johnson has been our best player this season. His passing was a bit shit against Spurs in the first half, and he was pretty poor against Hull (but so were most of the team), but other than that I can't think of a game where he hasn't been excellent.
I think the issue is that he's out of contract, and is already one of our highest earners. Who do you replace him with though?
What are the odds they announce Iwata's sacking ? Honest question.
edit : sacking is a harsh word. Let's say "retirement" ?
AVB will replace him.
Would be an upgrade.
Can't believe SAS were ever implicated in Diana's death. Typical media agenda against LFC.
Whoa!
Welcome to the thread btw.
Whoa!
Welcome to the thread btw.
I think finding a quality right back to replace Johnson won't be all that daunting of a task. We've already looked at Montoya, and though he has said publicly that he wants to sign a new contract, there's always the possibility that he's privately looking for options without trying to burn any bridges.
He's 22 now and would be ready for first team football every week IMO.
Real's Carvajal who they bought back after selling him to Leverkusen might be convinced to sell him permanently. Don't suppose De Sciglio could ever happen, but he'd be another good young player to look at. I think Frankfurt have a U21 right back who is supposedly decent, but not sure if he's good enough.
My pick would definitely be Nathaniel Clyne, given he is young, clearly talented and can keep up in the PL, but somehow I don't think it's any more likely than Carvajal or Montoya :lol

Why on earth would a multi-billion dollar organisation announce a major management change in a Nintendo Direct
I'm not even sure that they can legally do that.
Here's a Mario game!
Zelda spinoff OMG!
3DS redesign you stupid fuckers!
Oh yeah, Iwata's been sacked btw
WiiU Fit hnngggghhhhhhhh
@Odd, Carvajal is shit. There's a reason Arbeloa is still first choice
Clyne is a good shout. Serge Aurier from Toulouse would be an option, although he's primarily a CB I think. Or maybe Uchida from Schalke?

PLs not Baineses though. No matter how good he is he's too old now to be worth the price.
David Nugent is going to fuck your defence up.
I don't think there is a problem with short-termism in small amounts.
Evra is a liability that can't be allowed to continue.
They haven't won since November, don't fancy them at all. Good point at the weekend, but eh.
Would like to be wrong.
May as we'll pay the extra £10m for Luke Shaw. At least he'll be around for the next decade.
Isn't Shaw a Chelsea fan?
Okay I'm sure I'm late to the party on this one, but I lost my shit at this video:

The fears of overpaying should be dwarfed by the fear of not qualifying for the Champions League.
Laboured (and United bros) are speaking like accountants.

I think you have to take into account the cost v age balance. On the other hand I'm not sure we could rely on Shaw being our instant Evra replacement. That's too much pressure.

Yeah he will be replacing Cole. Will cost a lot too.
I posted that yesterday. You are living up to your name dc....
Looking at Redbull Salzburg playerslist, they apparently have a Barcelona reject who's scoring a shitton of goals for them. But I don't know any of their players really. Still not sure if I should be afraid of them, but I guess we're the favorites in these games
Yordy Reyna is one guy to watch out for. I imagine he'll be there for two years tops.
I posted an infographic from MCFC.co.uk of this chart and some other info. Pretty interesting stuff in it!
Apparently we are after Bertrand if we happen to sell Baines to Man U...
Of course you do, but you also have to consider:
- Baines is the best LB in the country.
- United are in a dire situation
- Baines is a "Moyes boy"
On a financial level, yes, United would probably have to overspend. And you're right, he's old, but you need emergency surgery, not a future project at the moment.

Bertrand is the ideal second choice though
£30m pls
