  1. Yeah, I remember that - he looked great in that game and then rapidly became shit before leaving. Looked at his Wiki there and he barely had any sort of career at all... Played only 133 games total with his two decent seasons being in the French second division (I think).

    I did smile when i saw the lads at the Anfield Wrap were dropping him from the side, to be replaced in the side by Curtis Jones.

    Jones doesn't even play in midfield any more... Any time he's played recently he's been in the front line, at least that's what I thought...

    The club will get very little for him but he has to go. He has been great at times but equally frustrating, plus he has an awful injury record.

    His injury record has been frustrating and obviously he's had the odd sticky period here, now being one, but you're doing him a disservice there, in my opinion. Overall he's been a very good signing and a big part of our success under Klopp.

  4. The thing that worries me is how little of a goal threat he's been - he hasn't had many chances and he hasn't looked like scoring the ones he has had. How many matches is that? About 5? You don't get the impression he's about to start banging them in... This is a guy who was scoring and assisting left, right and centre in the Netherlands from what I believe and who was supposed to be a good finisher... Early days and tough circumstances but he's definitely giving off a whiff of flop even at this early stage

    Nicer weather, less tax, biggest club in the World, much more chance of winning the league or the Champions League, nicer looking women, better food & he's guaranteed European Football next season.

     

    I mean, I'm Liverpool daft and would play for us for £25k a year & tell Real Madrid to fuck off but sometimes you have to put your objective pants on.

    Issues around reliability of competitiveness/getting into the CL are fair enough. If he gives that much of a fuck about the weather, food and women then I'm not sure he's the sort of player I'd want to spend £100 on anyway. I just think that him being English is quite a big plus from our point of view.

    Unless we get a big buyout, then I'm afraid I can't see this deal happening. 

     

    And in all honesty, the lad would be crazy to come here to. 

     

    We're currently an aging team with no spending power what so ever. Besides the manager, Where's the attraction? 

    He can come here and be the main man in this new Liverpool rebuild (potential captain) , showcase his ability in the country of his birth, playing for a massive and successful club? I don't claim to know what his motivations are but what are the strong arguments for him going to Madrid?
