Henderson is totally balding.

Sturridge should have hit that
If we really had the money to match Bale or Ronaldo when we were under the pretence our squad was good, why haven't we spent big on anyone this summer when we desperately need it?
I believe the club made the right noises about Bale. I believe we made an empty promise to match Madrid's bid knowing full well he was going there, and then the fact that the information on the bid leaked meant it was a play to show we can still spend.
There was never any chance of Bale coming to us, and knowing that there was no risk in saying "yeah we'll match their bid".

Liverpool looking good.
I didn't say that. He left Real Madrid and went to Manchester City, that's the point I'm making.
Without the wages City offered, that wouldn't have happened. He didn't even fucking know who City were, he kept referring to them as Chelsea :lol
But they offered him enough for him to go there. You're missing the point I'm making.
We have got Can to take over that mantle.

The worst part about all this is we can afford it. You look at the money we would free up in salaries by selling the deadwood, our sponsorship deals, the restructured debt deals. We can afford it.

Moyes did get Fellaini. Everyone was bidding for him. Just a remarkable player.

HE WAS CLIPPED YOU CUNT
It's easy to dismiss the bid for Bale as a way just to almost save face but there was a clear desire to get someone big in.
In my view there could be a worry of doing a City or whatever and ending up with a lot of deadwood players by throwing money around. It's been hard enough to shift the likes of Nani and Anderson and that could be part of our reluctance to go out with a massive recruitment drive.
The lack of Champions League is a big hurt and money can only solve so much.
He wouldn't.
Of course they do

I'm okay with it, but we should have had a kick outside the area.

why did he indicate it was just outside the area and then not even give a free kick anyway

Yoshida get your head sorted.
He indicated that Yoshida got a touch on the ball but I don't think he did.

Good thing Yoshida isn't going to be a starter after this week

Lovren is a wall and has a very nice long pass.
He was indicating a little touch of the ball. Was still a foul imo.
Maybe the ref thought it was outside but too soft forward pen or something? Else why not book Sturridge, if he thinks he dived?

So obvious Tadic is going to do just fine in the PL

he clearly did a 'this far' gesture which has nothing to do with someone getting the ball
on that note, there was a distinct lack of enthusiasm when we were linked with Cuadrado in here
"his hair is cool"
"can he even play wing back"
"not that excited"
THEN YOU HAVENT FUCKING WATCHED CUADRADO
Either as RWB or winger he'd be fucking amazing.
He said he got a tiny bit of the ball to Sturridge.

I remember there being excitement, but I don't think most people here believed the rumors. Some questions were raised about his defensive qualities as a WB but we still said it would be a good buy

Coutinho needs the ball.
