That stopped in the early 00s

Going full on Blablurn is still better than going full on Elsk, my dear Ale.
I can't help but think people acting like Milner is a terrible footballer has either not seen him play much at all or are just completely clueless. Both could be pretty likely as the only argument against him is "but lol milner loolllzl".

Him and quite a few others. Who can we sell Young and Cleverley to?

I imagine he got through the same channel Bebe did. Fergie must have retired to fire the staff responsible.

dont think anyone's saying he's complete shit, but more like scoffing at the twenty million fucking pounds arnie is willing to dish out for him

Fergie got rich(er) off that Bebe deal, that was anything thing all together IMO.
I just find it weird that for a man who spent so much time judging the character of the players he signed, especially the young ones...Zaha...just what, argh.
I'm laughing at the very idea of Bayern signing this lad with the intention of playing him.
The imbalance at the top of the Bundesliga is so catastrophic.
Lad looks good though, if a little raw. To be honest I don't doubt Klopp will get the team singing again, I just hope it's enough to make the domestic competition somewhat enjoyable, because this season (from the outside) it's been atrocious.

It's nice to want things. There will be several clubs, way more attractive for Klopp, willing to give him a contract.
It's just a dumb shitty troll... Even the GAF mods and admins can see that.
Maybe he was just trying to get Moyes' daughter a boyfriend

I dunno, they've been ravaged by injuries.
Gundogan is their best player IMO, or was, and he hasn't played all season.

Like Arnie said, for a club of Liverpool's size, especially with CL money and huge TV revenue... why not? £10m or £20m -- it's kind of irrelevant. If a player can improve you significantly, the price isn't really that much to concern yourself with unless it's some astronomical £50m+ figure. Even though he didn't play particularly well yesterday, Fernandinho has probably been the signing of the season and he was £30m despite being 28. I'd do that again in a heartbeat if we could sign another player that age who ended up playing such a huge role in our next season.
It's all relative really.
I think they're both pretty good, but Jones can't keep fit so he's ultimately not that useful as a footballer. Can't build teams around someone who's hamstring could go during a header.
And the Dortmund thing is definitely accumulated injuries rather than one defected cunt.

Loooooooooool Wilbz.
Corby Moore has left for some shitty American team.
It's amazing how terrible every photo is though
Wouldn't say ravaged in terms of numbers. Ramsey, Ozil and Walcott. That's it really, isnt it?
This post was such a double edged sword.
Whilst I'm pleased to read a genuinely nuanced take on transfers and the worth of a player, I simultaneously had to do something I never thought I'd have to do again:
read one of pulga's wawa posts
It's more the fact that they're losing one of the most talented young players of his generation to their main rivals. How were they never supposed to replace that? Now they're losing one of the best strikers in the world, again to their main rivals. How is shedloads of money going to replace that? Klopp can make astute signings with the funds he has, but he still won't have as strong a team.
The psychological impact of such key injuries is immeasurable.

The saddest thing about Phil Jones is that he says hes into his fashion.
But he dresses like this.
It genuinely upsets me.

Is he a satanist?
If Arsenal finish fifth and win the FA Cup, does the place not go to Hull? I dunno :S
I want EL anyway. Better to be in something than not, we have the squad size to cope. Just need a better manager.
I think I'm guilty of forgetting just how young Jones is sometimes. Obviously someone like Sterling is outperforming him even when taking being switched around into account, but he's never had a decent run at centre back. Unfair to chastise him too much for trying his best in midfield and full back when that isn't his game, but he does a solid enough job there. He's looked nothing but assured the majority of the time he's played in his preferred position.
You're right on his injuries though. Our entire defence apart from that fucking whelk Evra are injury prone, unfortunately.

Well yeah if they ever thought they were gonna be able to stop Bayern, they were kidding themselves.
Bayern ruthlessly decimate any competition they face, it's a tyranny really.

If he can stay fit then Jones will be a good signing. Has had some horror performances but he's still very young for a centre half. There's also been an improvement on his general play at CB when compared to last season. With Rio and Vidic and leaving he should get a lot more time playing in his preferred position next season.
Buttner was a poor signing as were Bebe, Zaha and Young. But he also brought some really good young players too; Smalling, Jones, Rafael, De Gea, Hernandez. The good outweighs the bad,
Did I tell you about when he asked out my best mate's cousin?
She said no.
She works in a fucking supermarket.
They were 16 at the time. Now she probably spends her days readjusting her hairnet so she can subtly wipe away a fresh batch of tears, all the while hoping that the stench of the cheese counter will tranquilize her senses enough to survive the shift.

Damn.
I feel like Phones is the type of lad who considers himself a real casanova though. Like if she went back to him and said oh Phil I was wrong back then I wish I could go back, I reckon he'd write her a cheque for £25k and blow some kisses her way.
