Apparently he's 'only' on 120k with this new deal, his agent said he could have doubled it elsewhere.
I don't see why, with Johnson, Gerrard, Reina and Suarez all out or about to be out we couldn't have offered someone like him the same amount of money that Suarez was on before he left.
Good game so far, Gerrard looked really slow in the first 20 minutes, often leading to Hendo being out of position. 60 minutes should bring on Lallana to have a go where Gerrard is.
Other than that I don't think anyone has been particularly poor, I've been impressed with most of Sakho's passes from the back and Emre is so class. Ibe and Markovic work really really well together.
Anyone else think Lee Ashworth looks a bit like Brad Jones in the new series of Broadchurch?
Thought the first series was great, they've made it hard for themselves trying to unpick the whole of the last series rather than not start a new hunt-style storyline.
Two quality players that would improve us no end quickly would be Ter Stegen on loan and Pjanic. I've always quite liked Pjanic, I just wonder whether he's good enough defensively.
However, two world class players in positions that we need filling.
Off topic, but Rodgers always invites sacked managers to view training for a couple of weeks to get them back on their feet.
Does anyone know of any people we've had in?
I can only find Steve Lomas, but swear i've seen photos of other managers watching training
