Costa/Torres pls.
Torres is going to come alive this season with Costa pushing him!

Sky Germany says United is likeliest landing spot for Khedira. Some people said Khedira was rejected by van Gaal during his Bayern stint. LVG promotes Kroos to the first team but doesn't want him at his new club. LVG rejects Khedira at one team but wants him at another. The mind of Lewis is beyond a normal humans comprehension.
I think Man U needs more creativity and less Khediras and Felashitinis.
Well ok. If thats your opinion, I certainly respect it.
Lame. I thought Dortmund plays at 3:30 today.
I hate those annoying 6:30 games we introduced some years ago.
I'm thinking 20 goals also.
edit: wait, Giroud or Sanogo? because I say Sanogo has it in him to score 20
Maybe, but he's still young. if we wanted to keep him, I think a loan move would have been best for both parties. though I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger sells Podolski to open up a place in the team for Campbell.
We get Carrick back in October, and Mr. sideways himself Tom Cleverly can do that. We need a box to box player, last time we had one was prime Fletcher back in 08/09.
Speaking of Carrick, it's an amazing transformation seeing how he was basically turned from a quality central midfielder into a freaking sweeper lol. Every year after 08 Fergie just kept dropping him deeper and deeper. Under Moyes last season he was basically playing between the two centerbacks.
They need more than one player.
A winger like Di Maria, a deep holding and more defensive midfield player and another more creative type.
If either Carrick or Herrera are injured, they're fucked.
They're lacking depth on nearly every position and the substitutes are rubbish.
Even without international games, you need at least a bench that improves the situation.
I doubt that Cleverly can keep up the competition that actually helps the squad.
It's good that certain youngsters like Adnan get on the pitch with their minutes, that's not on ongoing situation that helps.
Same.
At least I can play Diablo 3 the entire morning
Isn't Herrera essentially the box to box mid.
I think Carrick is done. Don't think he is good enough for a team that wants top 4.

The best teams are in London m35
Good...Good. Let the hate flow through you....
Embargo on a news conference? This is a brave new world.

Any other Liverpool fans glad Balotelli isn't available for Monday? Sturridge is fit (touch wood), and it seems like exactly the kind of situation where Balotelli's head would go and he'd either get sent off, play like absolute shite, or ghost through the game
I agree but lol at inclusion of Ade/Soldado. Our duo will have twice as much goals as them.
Can't quite decide if Balo to Pool is a stroke of genius or idiocy. I guess we will see.

hard to tell on this one. he's like a ticking time bomb and you're playing hot potato with him. he can either be killer for us in the decisive moment or do something in a moment of madness and blow it up on our faces or be a dud...
edit: can't be any worse than an asspass or carroll right? right???

The less you play him the more ticking will have happened

Yeah that's what I thought.
In other news, Mourinho tactical genius, ignoring the right side

Didn't he do that against City when we beat them at the Etihad last season? He knew that David Silva had a case of Mataitis and wouldn't track back because he's lazy and we exploited that with a worldy from Branna.
Also, seen Pelligrini say Liverpool couldn't handle the pressure of the title race, well I think they did better than City did for pressure, considering City bottled their two biggest games of the season against Liverpool and Chelsea and Liverpool won like 13 games in a row or something. Lets not act like Liverpool didn't deserve to win the title...
But they didn't.

Pretty much
1) We didn't win the title, and if you don't win it, you don't deserve to 99% of the time
2) We didn't get a huge slice of incorrect decisions go against us relative to City, especially in the Anfield game against them where they were robbed about 3 times

So, Liverpools fairly astounding run go 13~ straight wins doesn't deserve the title (especially as no-one realistically had them as title contenders), but City's home form of thrashing teams then playing poorly away from home does? Not to mention with their squad they should have walked it. And they lost their two biggest games of the season as well

We are already dead. If we weren't so far, we are today.
Also, #FalcaoSognoPossibile. Clearly, after reading this, Falcao has become our no. 1 target, seems obvious. Yup.

Liverpool were welcome to win those easy matches too... So were Chelsea.
The season isn't 13 games long. They finished where they deserved to finish, second place. And that is a good achievement. That defence was woeful, especially considering how incredible they were going forward.
If we'd won the title, we would have deserved it, but we didn't. I have no problem with City winning it, though from their perspective it should never have been that close.

Raiola interview 8: He can be important at #LFC bt will be protected. He better not fail.
Raiola interview 7: He needs to feel free to score goals and play well. Fullstop. No burdens of leadership like at Milan.
Raiola interview 6: #LFC only English team after Balotelli. I wanted him away from Italy, from press, pressure, expectations.
Raiola interview 5: It's not true that Balotelli has special behaviour clauses. His contract is like everybody else's (does not deny bonus)
Raiola interview 4: Balotelli deal will be finalised on Monday or Tuesday. Many little details still to conclude.
Raiola interview 3: At his age, if Balotelli fails at #LFC, his career at elite level is over.
Raiola interview this morning on Corriere 2: I wanted Balotelli to move to a team where he's not expected to be a leader. Gerrard will help
Raiola interview this morning on Corriere 1: #LFC have been interested in Baolotelli for 3 months. Offer only came this week.

Pretty sure we have all of that here in England as well.
I've disabled images and gifs for data purposes but it seems like fucking divine intervention at this point.
Raiola quotes are good, specifically the one admitting that if he fails at LFC, Balotelli's career at elite level is over. Hopefully that discussions's been had with both Mario and Brendan and will provide the incentive to get his head down and work.
