I understand that sentiment, but the cynical slander and the ironic stereotypical jokes is hard to take.

People should go read on Stuttgart forums what their fans think about loosing their captain who recently saved them from relegation, a player who their fans refer to as LegEndo, before behaving like spoilt Chelsea brats.

This Fifa fan chatter makes the club look even more like shit.

 

Slander?

Is he  big in Japan?

It’s not FIFA fan chatter to state that this isn’t the signing a big club should be making. It’s a panic buy through and through, and we’ve seen it happen from Caulker to Davies to Arthur and beyond.

 

Somehow, despite being third in the rich list, little Liverpool do this sort of shit time and time again under FSG. It’s nothing against the player who I’m sure deserves his reputation amongst the Stuttgart fans but this is not the way a club of anything like our size should be operating, yet it happens time and time again because we have owners be exchanging high-fives if we finish 10th in the league and can pretend it means we don’t have a pot to piss in.

People might say it's the owners not wanting to spend money, but if you are one day throwing around 110m and then the next day signing this guy, that's a choice you're making. You could be signing many other players, you have money. 

 

This is also not a nothing financial commitment and it's not the last day of the window either. The more you look at it, the more it feels like he will be counted on a fair bit.  We'd be doing more in subsequent windows in midfield in that case, but it feels like he will be a contender to start till January at least.

 

Now obviously, if we sign another 6 this window, you can scratch all that.

Well, fuck me. I'm not English speaking. I'm a Serbian ex-pro footballer trying to cope with all the academics on here. The word I was looking for was probably something more like 'banter'.

Why don't you be a good boy and find that exact quote. 

 

Sorry was it some bullshit about him not being able to take players on and we should remedy that by signing Toney, Zaha and Marcus Thuram?

 

It's hard to keep up with the mental shit that you come up with.

I don't think the club is well ran, I'm not stating that the guys in Boston have a fucking clue - my point is solely that we should welcome the players we sign to the club and cheer them on. We son't know what role they'll play, and in what system.

Everytime I read some bullshit on here, on Twitter or on Reddit saying this or that I imagine myself being the player talked about, who've just boarded a plane to Liverpool ready to give his all for us. Obviously, this was never an issue before internet but it's become worse in recent years.

Let him have a go, and if his not good enough then give it to the owners.

We weren't throwing around 110m quid though, we were making an offer for a player who we knew was not going to come here. Didn't you say this yourself? (I might be getting you mixed up with another poster, if so, apologies).

Welcome to the internet.

We've had players who've won major trophies with LFC, indeed captained us to them, who've had lots of criticism from the very start of their Liverpool career to the day they left.  

Fortunately they will, mostly, be supported in the ground.

[Alan Sex]

So basically we can now shout “Wataru Endo”

 

instead of “what the fuck are you doing, Hendo???”

I thought the Caicedo thing was crazy and desperate, but If you think that bid was some conspiracy or just for PR/show, I'm not gonna entertain this post.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The fans on the Stuttgart forum seem genuinely gutted.

[Strontium]

Kazuyoshi Miura is still going strong in the Portuguese second division at the age of 56, Endo is basically a youth player.

[Section_31]

What a fucking weird signing and what a thoroughly weird week. 

[YNWAViking]

A baby. Our baby.

Thanks. Yeah, I know. I did my best to shield a young Sunderland guy who we recruited years ago. These days there's no reason whatsoever. Absolutely toxic. But this will all change when Endo burns Guimares to the ground in just a couple of weeks.

Batfink over here.

[Ashberry]

Seeing what the Stuttgart fans are saying, gives confidence that the player can be good. Massive climbdown from Caicedo, although likely to be the same for any dm signing. Just really hope this is a supplementary midfielder and not the end of our business.

[Lee909]

I dint normally moan about not wanting a player. But 15ml on a guy who turns 31 in February. How many players move to the Premier league at that age and don't struggle with the pace. Apparently the deal was pushed by Jorge. That fucker has been a mid table sporting director his whole career. They fucked up having him anywhere near the club

[Doc Pheezin]

I like him. Got a bit of muscle. Wears a mouthguard. Looks like he enjoys tackling

Hopefully he clatters some cunts 

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

A few coming out the woodwork here, Milan you left in a bit of a storm in January fella you seem to like transfer threads.
