  1. FFS, we wank over a player from one good showing on MotD now? Yes, he had a very good day indeed, but it remains to be seen if he's actually more than that.
  2. How the fuck was that a pen? Lovren got nutmegged and the Gnarby ran into him. Lovren did move a little but that was at best he was completing his planting motion. https://streamable.com/wr61p
  3. I don't buy that transfers will be even more fucked up next season, unless you can predict even bigger vanity spending from the fossil fuel states -- that's an unknown that can't be predicted with certainty. On the other hand, bubbles burst, that's what they do. If you look closely at the spending of this window, the big spenders are: MC (oil), PSG (natural gas), MU, and Milan (with borrowed money from vulture hedge fund). Of those, only MU spent the money they could recoup (sustainable spending). Chinese money had been shut down, not permanently but at least until their looming financial crisis over bad debts eases. Milan are in extremely risky situation, their commercial arms are expected to perform miracles to pay back the debts . Liverpool are in a peculiar lose-lose situation in which losing Coutinho would very likely ruin another season, even £130 mils won't compensate for the time and progress lost. But retaining a distrusted Coutinho doesn't assure the season won't be ruined either. It's pick your poison and live with it.
  4. I didn't know you could outsource lining up for the doles.
  5. Mea culpa, I misparaphrased you. But let me ask you a question, when you said something so vague, how was that comparison supposed to be understood? I can assure you, most people wouldn't read into it as "similar to Veratti on the ball IN TERM OF STYLE, but has more end product, BUT IS COMPLETELY INFERIOR/DIFFERENT." At the very least, you were intentionally oblique to sell a point, which amounts to half-truth. But whatever, have your semantics victory.
  6. I'm Patel from Calcutta and I'll take your £5
  7. OK, which is more weird and ridiculous, saying Seri is "better than Veratti with more end production" or mocking you for that sort of hyperbole?
  8. I'm surprised you didn't say he's better than Xavi and Xabi Alonso combined.
  9. It was his round about way to say not every problem has a guaranteed solution, and getting defensive because people had little faith in in his ability to solve those problems eventually? Look, this might have caused by cultural differences -- and people might as well have spoken in different languages. The English ever since the fuck-you TV money are used to throw money at problems (or having their sugardaddies throwing money at superstars) and expect them to be solved. Germans like Klopp are used to a more prudent approach -- that they're willing to work with what they had. Hence the stark contrast in reaction between Brendan Rodgers and Klopp to the fabled "Transfer committee" that riled many in this forum so much.
  10. I'd still much rather we sign William Cavalho than Jean Micheal fucking Seri. What are we going to do with a 5'5" really inferior version of Coutinho? Woodburn wouldn't do worse with that game time, with much bigger upside.
  11. C'mon, that wasn't a riddle. He meant the act of signing wouldn't solve any problems, only working on solving problems (on the training pitch) does. The subtext here is he's being a little stung by the criticism and took a whack at the magical thinking that signing new players would somehow solve our defensive deficiencies.
  12. And dressing room toxicity for free. There's a reason nobody wants him.
  13. I'd rather supporting us in the Championship than agreeing to this sale. FUCK NO.
  14. Except that those players aren't available. Once Alexis Sanchez turned us down, there wasn't really anyone else that fit the billing. Marco Reus would have been nice but noone really believes he owuld move. On the other hand, you still need to increase the size of your squad.
  15. Because there's absolutely no possibility of Remy ACTUALLY failing his medical? What's the field of your expertise again? I hope it's not law, because anyone would realize Remy and his agent would sue FSG in light of such shenanigan faster than you can fold your tinfoil.
  16. Studs up tackling is violent conduct. We are looking at 3 games suspension here.
  17. What's the rush in hailing a new hero/savior when we haven't won nought? Why do we have to act like hysterical teenage girls when something decent is fomenting?
  18. Suarez Gerrard Mignolet (he made just one save, but that was a damn good save at a crucial time)
  19. Why would he? I laughed when Rooney and his agent extorted so much out of a trapped ManU.
