    Player Valuation: £70m
    Suppose its the same argument as James Rodriguez, when you have the opportunity to bring in class try to do it. But 200k a week when he is 33, is the trap Barca sleepwalked into

    Yes I mean there is that. There's a few differences. I mean however good a player Thiago is, you wouldnt really put him into the same category as James, who is a cut above (which is meant as no disrespect to Thiago, but there are levels in football).

    You'd also say, we are signing lads of that age because it's consistent with the manager we have and as a sign of weakness. They are- at least on the outside of it buying from a position of strength. So it's interesting they've gone down this route. You'd also have to factor that their squad is an ageing one already (top 6 for the oldest squads last season) and they don't have many in that 21-25 band coming through but lots in the 26-30 area (Alisson, VVD, Robertson, Matip, Salah, Henderson, Mane, Firmino, Wijnaldum, Fabinho etc, I'm sure I've missed a few!). He seems to add to it rather than take away from it.

    You always know they pay big bonuses too. The delcared salary is often half what their salary comes too with bonuses, sometimes more so. You don't blow Chelsea and Manchetser City out of the water on wages if you're top player is only on 200k p/w. They incentivise them. In fairness it's a smart business staregy that has worked well for them. However expect Thiago's real wages with bonuses to be 400k p/w, which as you say is huge for a lad going well into his 30's, expected to play under a Klopp system in the PL.

     

    Just thought I would post this little nugget of wisdom here for you to enjoy

    Which team could he realistically sign for? He’s not getting into the team at any of the top six. The best he could hope for is a sideways step like Southampton or Burnley. 

    Southampton and Burnley will not be happy that you think it's a sideways step

    I'm going to get a Gor Mahia shirt (I might even get the full kit) and wear it when they play the Bloos in the SportPesa Trophy. Do you think the game will be live on Sky? what with it being so historic. Would be funny as fuck if they lost but I would of course never mention it.

    The mighty Everton taking on the european giants in the biggest stadiums on their continental tour.

     

    Oh wait a minute!

    Is that a parasol I see behind the goal? a RED parasol

     

    The people in those apartments overlooking the pitch will be able to tell their grandchildren exciting tales of how they watched the other team from Liverpool play Rennes and Richarlson score his debut goal for them

    Alexanderly just hasn't shown the class needed for a place in our first team next year

    He obviously doesn't have beans on a fry up, he doesn't think cheese is amazing and he doesn't believe Monster Munch are the king of crisps and count as one of your five a day.

    He has put the exact same message on other Liverpool forums so his promotion from championship to premier league troll just hasn't materialised and he needs to go away and work on his game

    We look like the team Brendan Rodgers left behind, 3 number tens Firmino, Lallana and Coutinho all coming towards the ball, no pace and nobody making forward runs, and once we lose the ball there is an massive hole in our midfield and teams are running at our central defenders.

    Lallana, Origi, Can and Henderson are all out of form and lacking confidence and it's obvious Sturridge is finished as a top striker

    at home, I'll be disappointed if it's more than four. I feel the players would have to look at themselves if it's five or above
