Liverpool need to go back to signing expensive overrated English flops. That Midfield is pretty damn good on paper.

It's just poor judgement. The fitness pisses me off but not as much as the frequency of wrong calls viz. runs, passes, positioning.

It's at old Trafford so they probably won't
Was it the Fulham game where Carrick should have given away a penalty in injury time but the ref pussied out?
The Swans are everyones second team. Is Ki going to play today? I assume not?
I think Swansea will be near the top of the table for a good while this season. Their first 8 or 9 games are piss easy for them.
Not today unfortunately. Funny how a few weeks can change your entire outlook on the season. When Rodgers went, then Gylfi didn't want to come back, then Joe Allen went.....I couldn't help feel very pesimistic. Fast forward to today (or even last week BEFORE the QPR game started), and I feel we've every chance to finish mid table once again!
Pirlo with some hilarious quotes, I'm pretty sure he was high 
“Winning the Champions League would be a dream come true for me, the club and my teammates. If it were to happen... I’d get a Mohican haircut like Balotelli!”
“Mazzarri (Napoli) talks like a loser, though. When you lose it’s normal to cling to everything, as there is disappointment, but we are accustomed to the battle of words. ”
“Zeman is a special Coach, one who stirs up debate. He is a great tactician and his teams play really well. Every now and then he says something strange off the field, but that’s part of his character and by now we accept that.”

I am still waiting for that moment with Villa
But yeah you lot have done great. So happy for you, easily you played some of the best football in the league last year. Was a joy to watch.

Regarding Pogba, Pirlo also said: "He really is remarkable. He's a young lad with prospects and it was a great move to snatch him from such an important club."

Free transfers stacks up right? Can't really think of any good transfers to make, maybe change captain.
I change captain every week, gone for Lambert, think he'll grab a brace

Ah. Well I only got one at the moment so will let it stack up and wait for next round.

Hoping that Swansea will be going into the game overconfident after their drubbing of QPR, and that it will be their undoing, but realistically, I'd be happy with a point from this. Looking forward to seeing if Diara, Maiga and maybe Jarvis get their first league starts for us, Maiga looked tasty on the ball when he came on for the last 20 minutes against Villa, and hopefully Jarvis will show his worth with some good crosses in for him.
Aren't you mixing things ? I think he got that because he scored the first competitive goal in the Juve Arena.
That makes more sense.
Poor Luca Toni, I thought he was the first one to score in our stadium.

I don't believe for a second that he makes £115k per-week, Real Madrid are more conservative than many believe when it comes to player salaries. There have been so many discrepancies in the numerous Nuri Sahin stories (Arsenal happy to pay his wages, Arsenal not willing to pay all of his wages, Real Madrid wanting a £14m buyout, Real Madrid not wanting a buyout, Liverpool pulling out, Liverpool paying £5m for a loan deal etc etc) from "supposed" reliable sources that I can't take anything anyone says seriously anymore tbh. Only fact is Liverpool have the player for a year which is good for them. Shame as he's been one of my favourites for years but it's one of the milder disappointments a Gooner can face these days.
Anyway, Arsene says he wants a "completely defensive" midfielder. Midfield is his strongest and most successful position in terms of signings so I'm interested to see who he brings in.
Nuri Sahin to join Liverpool on loan from Real Madrid

Quite a few places have reported his wages at being 115k or around that.
Yeah, maybe it'll give him the kick up the ass he needs. He was sluggish on the ball against Everton as was Nani and Welbeck.
Hope to see RVP get a start today and we stick to a 4-2-3-1 formation. Don't want Kagawa as a CM.

What makes you say that?
Most financial reports have them as the second highest paying football club in the world on average, paying an average salary of £90k a week.
Can't be precisely sure but definitely they pay in the same sphere as City, Chelsea and Barca do. So £120k a week for Sahin is not at all surprising, considering his quality and that they signed him at a low price meaning he could easily negotiate a good contract.
What's so funny about that statement?

On his day.
I wouldn't mind it if was that much, but I doubt it. At a guess, the £5 million will probably include wages. Why do all "ITKs" always claim to know confidential contract information like wages?
