Trust me Pete, too much of anything gets boring.
You'd be sick of it after 4 weeks or so.
In-n-out is incredible. I've yet to eat at Five Guys as I always settle for it instead.
Last time I went back to the states I had in n out almost every day (probs 5 times a week) for about 3 weeks. God damn do I miss it.
And those yellow chili peppersI asked for them way back before other people even knew they existed /hipster

The real thing is good because the ingredients are good. I can't imagine an imitation being decent, because it'd require the same attention to quality ingredients. Otherwise it'd just be a slightly fresher fast food burger.
Yup, no one else has ever been played out of position for England before. I bet they wouldn't be saying the same about Gerrard, who's been out of position for England for most of his career.
Sure, I'd imagine that does play a role, but in the end it's just a fast food burger. They're not exactly putting Wagyu beef into the burgers, how much higher quality can they really achieve on a similar tiny budget?

A great fast food burger
I really want this to be true. I read it earlier but don't want to get too excited until it's all signed and confirmed. Would be great though.
Apparently, a reliable newspaper in Switzerland, 20 Minuten are reporting that Liverpool are close to signing Xherdan Shaqiri. Within the article it says that his brother and agent have contacted Bayern about joining Liverpool in the summer.
Probably not true, but considering Kicker, which are fairly reliable ran a similar story, it could have some credibility.

Not too bothered tbh if that's the case. It'd have been nice to get Rodgers' first choice, but without the tax for being English, there's no way he's worth £20m+.
I don't think it's this 'one or the other' scenario which the media is portraying.
They are two different players, not similar at all.
Agreed, his price and reluctance to put in a transfer request have out me off Lallana a lot. I'm sure Shaqiri would be an excellent signing if we signed him.
Your right they aren't similar, it just seemed they were both a little too good to be rotated and I wasn't sure if they'd sign without agreeing to be a first team regular.
I didn't think of this from Southampton's perspective, I guess it depends on what they ultimately want. Do they want Lallana to stay or do they want cash to better the academy and strengthen other areas of the team?
I think we could afford both, but I don't want us to replace the entire team. We still came second last year with a young squad, we don't need that many more people.
Also, ten LiverpoolGAF posts in a row, total domination.
Still not convinced its one or the other, despite what has been reported. Two very different players.
It makes sense for us to say that though, because it puts more pressure on Southampton and Lallana as the Shaqiri deal progresses.
Tony Evans claimed that Liverpool would spend £70mil plus player sales this window. I think there is enough of a budget to afford both Lallana and Shaqiri with that kind of money.
But remember that we're also buying Fabregas, Moreno, Aurier, Can, Sanchez, Keita, Lovren, Bertrand, Carvalho and Ogenyi Onazi.
Oh and probably Konoplyanka.
So we really have to get a good price for Aspas.

How about Salah while you're at it? Wanted him less than 6 months ago, remember? You might even get Moses in the deal as a bonus.

Try and flog Aspas to PSG, they like to spend double what a player is worth so you could probably get close to 5mil.
I just don't think the players are similar, at all. Shaqiri would compete with Sterling or Sturridge for a wide position, Lallana would compete with Coutinho for the position in front of Henderson + Gerrard.
As sohois mentioned, Tony Evans seems to think we have £70m to spend plus player sales. We could potentially get £40m in player sales imo.
Well if Liverpool wanted him then you could probably pawn him off on Tottenham easily enough.
Also TeddyBoy, I don't really think Liverpool are close to replacing the whole team. Liverpool had 16 players make more than 10 starts, and only 18 make more than 10 appearances, including Moses, Aspas, Cissokho and Toure. Liverpool could easily add a few more players and not change the first 11. Just consider shaqiri to replace Moses
Hitch pls.
I expect better of you than to attach an arbitrary value to a footballer.
Depends. Need to wait and see if he's ready to be a footballer yet.
Are you actually serious with this - as in, Chelsea fans don't like what they've seen of Salah?
The rest of my comment is an addition on my own part to what you already said (and I wanted to say) about them being different players, I was not implying that was your point.
£40m in player sales would be dandy but I can't see it happening, unfortunately.

Said it since day one. He will never be good enough, at best he was a fun signing to annoy Liverpool, at worst he will be yelling anti semitic stuff at Roman in a years time.

Or Scholes, who was out of position for all of his career.
It will be interesting to see what happens when Real approach Suarez this year and ask him to start agitating for a move.
Given his comments in Uruguay early last summer, they quite obviously did it last year, and then decided to go after Bale instead, leaving Suarez looking a complete tit. I'd be surprised if he went along with it all again.

Just fucking buy him already
Suarez and Vidal or Pogba in one window?
