Joe Allen thread

[Mathewbet1]

Welocome joe. You little nugget of rare welsh gold. Class player will be really special ( in a good way) mark my words cultured and class.

[Unrighteous]

We needed a winger and bought a older carbon copy of a player we already have.

 

Oddly enough, it's not the end of the Transfer Window!

Loving the doctor's suit in the medical photos.

We've spent £26m more than Man City this Summer.

We need to spend 126m to get near their squad in quality

 

And they will spend. Obviously.

 

Apart from that, great point

[Captain]

Best of luck Allen, I really hope you can cut it here.

[xerxes]

A big fee for a player with so little PL experience, I wish him well.

We needed another quality midfielder (wether he is or not I don't know as I haven't seen enough of him, I hope he is)

Last season when Lucas got injured the team suffered, do people not remember this? All of a sudden Lucas is back so it's not a problem? I for one think that added quality in the centre when Lucas was missing last year would've gone a long way.

Plus what you said is not the way to react when we have just signed a new player and a player the manager clearly rates, I like to be happy and excited when stuff like that happens but that's just me I'm not a bore

[ZonkoVille77]

Finally done.

Next an attacking player please

It is, but as I said in the MF, he and Borini are two players the manager wanted, and knows well. As fans, we can't ask for any more (on the playing side) than the manager being able to sign the players he wants

Who could Man City get for £26 Mill that would improve them as much as the improvement we'll be getting?

[mht1892]

I can't wait to see him play for us, watched him grow as a player due to taking an interest in him internationally, he'll make it here no doubt.

 

Everyone on about his fee of 15 million but United paid 18 for Anderson lets move on, it's not as if he's an inexperienced player, PL yes but in terms of games he's not, he's improving all the time and has been playing for Swansea since he was 16, he'll fit in well here and can play a number of positions, I'm glad he's signed I've called it for about 2/3 years saying he would be a great signing for top club, he looks made up to be here as well, welcome to LFC Joe Allen, lets get a few more in now.

Winger and striker please !!

Oh I get it, and I totally agree, but the people slating FSG really need to keep quiet.

[WhiskeyJar]

[macc]

Rodgers looks a bit pissed and a but lechy there...

[Dante]

Seen how he's being lauded as doing the same job for us as Xavi does for Barca.

 

He might be no Alonso, but he could be our Xavi Allenso.

 

*runs*

[Faustus]

Yeah, I was gonna say it looks like they're both off for a pint in that pic!

 

"I know this cracking place, Joe lad. Garlands, it's called- you'll fucking love it."

[thompsonsnose]

Welcome and good luck.

[thompsonsnose]

Truth.

Hope that extends to keeping Agger as well.

Getting a bit carried away.

Dont think he had any competion from Real Madrid and PSG for them.

[Frankenhooker]

Getting a bit carried away.

 

I'm not sure he is. It's going to cost City a ridiculous amount just to add a squad player now. To improve the first eleven, which we've done, it'll cost City about £20m just for one player. They've inflated the market and are now moaning about it. Saying that, we had a much lower ceiling, Borini for example, wouldn't improve their starting eleven where he does ours.

haha heard that in Rodgers accent :biggrin:

[Tommy Lawrence]

Pleased with the signing,I just hope we don't sell Danny to pay for him.

[Paco]

looks a great wee player. now we need a replacement for downing.
