Maybe Walcott isn't leaving.
lol
Not sure what Wallcunt wants. He probably wants to go to Manure so he can play golf whilst sucking on RVP's cock.
Would he replace Nani? Not sure since Nani is a better player and Frogie will not give him the time Wenger has.
Should be soon I think. I remember reading he was going to be out until Dec/Jan. Haven't seen an update about him resuming training yet though.
EDIT: Be very surprised if Walcott goes to United. He'd be behind RVP, Rooney, Hernandez and Welbeck for a striking role, whoch he apparently wants enough to leave Arsenal.
He said he'll be back start of Feb

Yeah could see that happening too.
He probably just wants to get a trophy sooner rather than later.
Yeah, that'll just be agent games, playing on the popular image of United as having an inexhaustible thirst for speedy wide players.
If only we did actually live up to that idea.
and dybala to arsenal muhahahaha!
On a serious note, I heard that Wenger is interested in El Shaa.

When he isn't good enough for the first team?
I forgot about that guy...
Borini-Sturridge-Suarez
That's a dysfunctional strikeforce.
Yeah, pretty sure he left because he thought he was a first team player and not getting enough chances. Why buy him back for £4m after letting him go for next to nothing, when his position hasn't really changed.
He's probably improved, and your previous manager was probably a bit drunk when he sold him.
I've seen him on numerous occasions and he's absolutely bossed the Championship. Each time I saw him I rued letting him go and thought he'd be a top player in the future, so I'm quite happy we're getting him back.
Kind of agree with Viva, though. He's not what we need to push forwards, but he's a sound addition.
We didn't sell him because we thought he was shit, he just wasn't good enough for the first team, which is what he (and his dad) were demanding.. along with high wages.
What if he can't push into the first team again? If we sign him, I don't think we'll convince him to be a fringe player, and we really need to be attracting better players for the first team.

Surely his position has changed though. Do you have a better left winger than him?

£14m for Sturridge? Chelsea doing well for themselves if that's the price they get.
Sturridge did look very good when he went to Bolton though. If Liverpool can get him playing like that he will help them out alot.

holy shit its my bro
So our bar right now is to a 19 year old from the championship for £4m? If Brendan thinks we need strengthening on the left wing (which we do) then I'd rather he had a better player in mind than take a gamble on Ince.
The Times article says £12 million for Sturridge, and £6 million for Ince, 35% of which will then return to us due to the sell on clause.
Rory Smith said it best, though:
"Right. You've had 4 months scouting. What gems have you found?" "Well, there's this England international, and a lad you let go last year."
And Liverpool continues to pay high prices for overrated overpriced British players. I'm pretty sure he'll be another deadwood player come summer if we end up with him.
£12 million is still too much for a selfish, arrogant overrate player with an attitude.
Sturridge is better than that, PJX. He hasn't played in a while, largely because Chelsea are indebted to giving Torres a run in the team as a lone striker, and RDM favoured the experienced Drogba when he took over earlier in the year, but under AVB he was really good, as he was during his loan spell at Bolton.

I don't think £4m is a gamble at all. He's a very decent young player that is only going to get better. Who do you think would be a better player and less of a gamble?

Looks like we signed 18-year-old goalkeeper Bonmann from Essen. He also had an offer from Schlacke which he rejected without even looking at it.
I already like this guy.

Apparently all the top clubs were interested (not to say that they all put in an offer).
I don't have any player in mind, I just think we should be looking a little further than someone who didn't want to play for us if it wasn't on his (dads) terms. Can only see the same problem happening in the future with him.

Why would El shaa leave Italy for arsenal? He can be trophyless in Milan too.
We won a game with Palacio as our gk, can Juve do that?
I don't know man, the guy hasn't impressed me at all.
I think it's a gamble. That's £4 million we could be using on a proven player who is good consistently on high levels. Ince is playing on championship level, a lot of average players look good on those levels. I didn't follow him much when he played for our reserves but I don't recall him ripping it up during our reserve matches.
As I say, from what I've seen of him in the Championship he's absolutely bossed it. For the price I think he's worth it, given his potential. I'm happier to pay £4 million for him than £12 million for Sturridge, because for the latter price you could buy a wealth of players from overseas.
Really?
The guy didn't impress you when he scored each week for Bolton? Or when AVB relied on his goals to carry Chelsea as Torres floundered? I remember being livid that we didn't demand Sturridge as part of the deal, following his performances in the first half of last season. Then he got dropped by RDM, and hasn't had a chance to shine this season. Whenever he's had a consistent run in a team he's scored buckets of goals, and he can do it from a wider position too.

Our midfielder saved a penalty last year, with eyes closed. :lol
It's not that impressive, seriously. If he would've saved a penalty with his braided ding-dong rat-tail though ...

Its uncanny.
He doesn't impress me. Maybe it's his attitude or maybe it's his selfishness that can cost us goals. Maybe his ego will cause problems in the dressing room. If Rodgers can control his ego and bring him down to earth then I guess everything will be ok. But I believe once he doesn't get his way, he will bring his drama queen attitude out.
There is a difference between high level and highest level. Learn it.
Honestly I can't weigh in on his attitude because I'm not aware of any incidents in the past. I know that Rodgers has worked with him before at Chelsea, so I imagine there's an element of respect there from both parties, and we also know that Rodgers doesn't take any shit in training. I don't really see his ego being too much of a problem, from that perspective, because I think he'll be busy working hard to impress at a new club.
It's not like at Chelsea when Torres was evidently playing terribly, and he felt he deserved a run upfront, at Liverpool we've got one of the best strikers in the league, and two flanking positions alongside him. I don't believe he'd be stupid enough to sign for us thinking he'd play centrally week in, week out.
But do high level talents cost £4 million? I think that's what Bungie's getting at, and I agree with him.
Ince has shown tons and tons of potential at Blackpool, hence all the offers from top clubs.

They haven't released any info on when he's going to Porto?

Think Arnie is right when he says Rory Smith more or less nailed it.
These buys are quite safe ones IMO. Feels a bit underwhelming.
In fairness to Rodgers he is trying to basically rebuild an entire team so I can see why he doesn't want to take some bigger risks in the transfer market but the position Liverpool are in at the moment I do feel they need another top quality attacking player before they can climb the table.

It works both ways. I get the apathy towards signing two more British players, but the way Ince is playing at Blackpool, if he was of Brazilian descent we'd be creaming our pants at a £4 million switch.
They're good augmentations to our attack, but it's not a major evolution, as some were expecting. Around Suarez we now have Sturridge, Ince, Sterling, and Borini. Four very promising young attackers with bags of potential.
None are of a Suarez calibre, though. When we bought Suarez for £20 million we took a punt on a high level talent, rather than potential, I think we needed to go for that again, or at least do in the summer to truly take the team forwards.
Aye, it's all a bit run of the mill.

I'll be surprised if Wenger spends 20 mil for him.
I think he is that stupid.
After reading my reply again, I was wondering where you got the idea I was suggesting we get a really good talented player for £4 million. I meant that we use that £4 million and add it to whatever it cost to land a good player.
And that's another thing with Liverpool, we seem to love buying injured players or ones just coming off an injury.
