Oh and I forgot Carroll
Didn't he sign a new contract recently? Pretty desperate to meet that home grown quota, I guess. At a club with an actual youth system someone like Boyata would have been moved on years ago.
POGBAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Matuidi maybe? PSG have to sell someone big. Even though he just renewed. It might be a Suarez like scenario.

Bayern?
Liverpool really need a star signing, a £40+ million player, otherwise it just seems like letting go of Suarez was a bad move. This is their moment to attract a star player too, doing it next summer if they have a bad season is not going to happen.
Really want them to do well but the signings so far have been awful for a club wanting to stay in the CL and compete for the title.
Maybe Brenton wants to prove a point that you don't need to sign star players to do well?

Feels like we've given up on the title tbh, and the signings are to try and stay in as many competitions/top 4 for as long as possible
If we drop points in our first game (to Southampton of all teams) I could see that jst killing our season already given the 2 fixtures we have afterwards

Anybody knows what the Barca sources are saying?

History has proven that to be a massive long shot, unless you have a world class youth set up.
Still, players like Sturridge and Sterling a year older, a year wiser. Could improve.
Top 4 seemed a miracle last season, with Suarez and Sturridge mostly fit and firing. I don't think the signings have been top 4 material, if they were you'd have faced some competition for their signatures.
Yeah, momentum can play a massive part. I still think Liverpool have a signing up their sleeve but maybe waiting on the other club to do their business or working out the details.

That's what I want United to do.
Read 100 Bullets now.
He is Rosell's lackey. Expect only lies from the current board.

Fables is great. You really can't go wrong with anything from Vertigo. I also loved The Unwritten.

I think we'll try doing a few things
1) More responsibilty for Sturridge and Sterling
2) Play a bit less open, protect the back 4
3) Spread the goals more equally among the front 4
4) Rest Gerrard when possible
Without a huge fuckoff signing, there's no way we can just play Markovic instead of Suarez and try playing the same way we did last year.
I wouldn't necessarily say that's not top 4 quality as even with Suarez last year I wouldn't have said that was title-challenging quality, but it leaves me doubtful as to finishing 4th or above, and very sceptical of challenging for the title again.
Why are you playing the AI Cola!? UT is all about playing other peoples teams!

Same. I went to look at one on Amazon (they have that "look inside!" thing for comics too) and about 30 seconds later I closed it and my interest plummeted.
I don't like comics, but at least they have pics and coloursI'm not into comics. But playing the wolf among us, almost made me want to read fables. Almost. Then I remembered it's comics.

Why would we even go for James at a price anywhere over 30mil? Is he even proven? Sure he has a good world cup but what else?
.. Meanwhile Di Maria is proven and his work ethic is incredible while not playing in sole wing position. With every penny of 60 million transfer, will be missed.
The only substitute I want for Di Maria is Pogba. Strong, young and proven. He would be immense in the box. What would James bring? We already have Jese.
Fuck this is frustrating, I hope Carlo pulls through with Pogba.

I'm getting really worried about the amount of pressure people have been putting on Sterling since the World Cup. I do hope he takes it in his stride.
Will be checking out both soon.
I'll never finish Jojo. NEVER.

Can't believe Liverpool sold Suarez for £60m.
Mad.
Mad.
Gonna do an anti Illara, drive this price down chaps.
:lol
I have Y:The Last Man as my next comic to read after I'm finished Fables.
Will have a look at 100 Bullets after that. Thanks for the recommendation.

I have complete faith in him
If he can't quite hack it at the head of the triangle (which is where he'd fucking better play, bollocks to Lallana ousting him) we can just shove him back on the wing and give him some tapes of SWP
100 Bullets is better, 100 issues, story wraps up. No frivolous outside shit.
Preacher is everyones GOAT, but I like 100 Bullets the most.
He has 2 kids at the age of 15. This is nothing to him.
Have to agree. 'Preacher' and 'The Sandman' are two of the greatest works in the medium. Both published by Vertigo.
Will have a look at The Unwritten too.

He is my favorite Red, i'm desperate for him to become a true great. I think he has that finishing in him too, just needs to unlock it. Raheezus <3
