I've gone with Poulsen and Aquilani. Poulsen being shit and reminding me of Hodgson. Aquilani being shit costing 20 million and reminding me of replacing Xabi.

Cole for me. Had really high hopes he'd be a boss signing. I still can't believe how he was huffing and puffing after a few minutes on the pitch. reminded me of myself playing 5 aside except he was getting paid a bomb.

He's our worst ever defensive signing without question for me. But is he a bigger flop than Carroll?

Lovern for me. I think I'm right in saying he's our most expensive defender we've signed. Awful player.

As in by August? That would be a fucking huge boost if so. I'd be a lot more optimistic having a fully fit Sturridge available going in against any side. As far as I'm concerned when he's fit he's one of the best strikers in the league.

That initial run of away games we have is horrific. Whats worse is Rodgers record against those sides away from home is poor. I can see a situation by the time Sturridge is fit to play we'll have a new manager in place.

Jones is utter shite I agree and whenever he played I used to be a nervous wreck, but in fairness he played at wembely for us when we beat the blueshite and actually did well. Itandje was both a knob head and a shite goal keeper to boot so the question is how can you not vote for Itandje?

After last weeks Episode I was pretty smug all week that the boltons would get beaten. Also that religious cult in kingslanding made their biggest mistake by letting cersei go back home.

Pretty sure I remember reading on here before that Itandje turned up for training on his first day without boots. Along with acting the twat at the hillsborough memorial service there is only one option.

I can see us playing City in our first 3 matches. (Most likely with Sterling in their side) Its vital we get a good start to next season with a few wins on the board. If we start with an early defeat and a couple of draws I can see Rodgers position becoming untenable pretty quickly.

Itandje because he was shite and a cunt.

Is this kovacic kid any good? Also If we do get him where will he play?

Not too sure how clued up he is but David Anderson in the Mirror put up a couple of days ago that Rodgers has a limited transfer budget. I'd say a lot of what is going to be spent on transfers will have to be generated by sales. Hopefully I'm wrong and FSG will splash the cash regardless of Sterling going or staying but I can't see it myself.

The way I see it is if we get a decent fee for Sterling we'll be in a position to buy a striker for big money. If we don't sell him we'll probably be starting the season with Origi and Ings until Strurridge comes back.

haha this is actually very true. If we got 30 million for sterling and got to reinvest it we'd make a balls of it. If we got 100 million we'd do the same.

Bad feeling this will drag on all summer.

The Wire is boss.

He's shown glimpses in some matches he has something about him and a run of games in his right position would help him. There's certainly more than enough other dross in our squad we need to move on first before him.

The transfer situation is a bit of a grey area as to who is responsible for signings. There was an article in the echo a few months ago that had Rodgers down as pushing through both Lovern and Lallana. Lovern is our most expensive defender in the clubs history and is a terrible player. Lallana I like as a player but Rodgers spent 25 million on him spent all last summer wanting to get him signed up and he doesn't know where to play him. He's played him as a wing back in a front 3 in a midfield 3, literally all over the place and hooks him off early in matches regardless of how he's performing. Add that to the clueless & gutless football we played for the last few weeks of the season is enough reason for a change for me.

ths isn't the fridge magnet thread

Thats my pick as well.

Agreed Breaking Bad is boss but Game of Thrones is the best TV series I've ever watched.

That was another quality episode. Stannis has gone all out now for the throne there's nothing he won't do now to get it.

Sends shivers up my spine reading that list and coming to Downing and Carroll. The guts of 55Million for the pair. shocking waste of funds that.

where have you seen that? Any quotes or links?
