Baltar

Odd choice. What happened to the return of Pako??? Can we really not find anyone better on the continent than this guy? 

I think they're both terrible and cherry pick easy parts of the game to focus on, instead of presenting the whole tactical picture.

Even though he had got stale, unoriginal and a bit boring in his last few years as a pundit, Hansen would still be miles better than the pair of them. I'm surprised Hansen hasn't been signed up one of the footie broadcasters. Even though he's not as good as he was, he's still better than anyone else on the telly.

The Ramos thing is just weird. Why would United pay over £35M for a defender who is almost 30 and has already has his best years behind him? And he's not even that good. And he's suspended for much of the time. 

If Balotelli and Borini are still here at the start of the season I'll be pissed. We could have got £14M, FOURTEEN-fucking million for Borini if that stupid twat hadn't rejected Sunderland. We'll be lucky to get £5M for him now. 

As for Balotelli... I'm willing to accept he has talent and he's shown his quality in the past representing other teams. But he's been a complete disaster for us, he simply does not fit into this team and we should sell the minute anyone shows an interest in him. We won't get much more than £10M for him so let's not be greedy and ask for silly money. Just move him on ASAP please.

Hope we can wrap this one up. Would be an excellent signing for £12.5M and would sort out a real problem area for us.

What, haven't Chelsea or Spurs hijacked the deal yet? Any minute now, surely?

Would be a good signing. But frankly, if any other European team from a top league that's in the Champions League next season come in for him (and there certainly will be), we've got fuck all chance of getting him.

I bet this sacrifice will come to naught. Stannis will likely kill the red babe after the Boltons defeat him in the upcoming battle. 

I knew it, Stannis the much vaunted military leader hasn't won a single proper battle on the show. Ambushing the Wildlings doesn't count. What a useless cunt. 

£30M+ for Benteke is absurd. He'll be a cast-iron flop at a club higher than mid-table, absolutely guaranteed. I wouldn't put it past the imbeciles at the 'transfer committee' to try signing him, though.

There's no questioning the lad's ability. Those who say he's overrated are deluding themselves. He's an exceptional talent at 20 years of age and is only going to get better. I think £50M will end up being a bargain for City, if the transfer happens. He's going to be worth a lot more than that in a few years, I guarantee it. Anyone who doubts that must have missed some of his best performances for us. All he needs to do is add goals to his game and he'll be a world beater.

Having said all that, he is a spoilt little bastard and if he wants out we shouldn't dig our heels in and force him to stay. Sell him to the highest bidder, excluding Man U if those cheeky fucks ever decide to make an offer for him. 

We tend to start poorly anyway so might not be a bad thing to get the worst away fixtures out of the way first. Expect a shitty beginning of the season before we start seeing improvement late in the year and early 2016.

We are going to have another shite season if we keep signing these average/slightly above average English players. And that's the bottom line, because Baltar said so!

It makes no sense to off Jon Snow. He's been the man at the Wall and our link to what's going on north of it, if he dies than who carries that narrative? Sam, Davos? Nah, but Martin really needs to find the difference between shock in line with the narrative and shock for shock's sake.

That's the thing. The White Walkers story is one of the main themes of the show. Who is going to be telling that story? Who is the hero that is going to lead the fight against them? Killing Jon Snow removes all and any interest in the Wall arc.

Oh shit, Ghost is probably getting chopped up by those wankers on the wall. Another wolfie down. Just Bran's wolf left, and I expect him to die soon of insanity after having Bran in his head all the time.

I hope Olly, that little shit, gets his comeuppance next season. Knowing the fucked up writers, they'll probably make that kid the new Lord Commander. 

Jeez, that's left me shocked that has. Never expected Cersei's tits to be that big!

I'll vote for us to remain, even though I have concerns about the EU, especially its expansionist policies. And I don't believe the bollocks about how we're doomed as a country if we decide to leave the madhouse that is the EU. We'll do okay but economically there'll be a few years of hurt and would give way too much power to the xenophobes/Tories so we're better off staying in and trying to bring about changes that are needed. The EU needs to wake up and stop the bullshit "fundamental values cannot change" line they're always trotting out. Such a rigid attitude is causing more grief than is needed.

Haha, where did that Tevez link come from? Pie in the sky stuff, that is.

FFS, Coutinho injured so doesn't make the Brazil squad for tonight's. Copa America game. Was looking forward to seeing him playing for Brazil. Guess I better go to sleep instead.

Seems like twitter is going ape shit with the Kovacic to Liverpool reports.

Would be delighted if this is true. He's a brilliant talent. Would be shocked if some of the top clubs (i.e. CL regulars) don't try to sign him.

Ok, the BBC are pissing me right off with their endless coverage of women's football on their website. What are they playing at? Some woman's match is actually the top story on the BBC sport page ffs.

Nice to see Agger still going strong. Denmark won 2-0 vs Serbia with him in the team. Thanks to whoever decided we'd be better off with Lovren, Toure and Sakho. Cheers.  

The Brazilian, all day long. He would have become the greatest player of all time if it weren't for those injuries. He lost 3 or 4 years through injury which was tragic for him and to football.

And he also made a bad decision to leave Barca after that incredible season he had there. If he stayed at Barca and free from injury, he would have been even better than what we saw of him.

Bullshit article.

 

They know what they want and how to get. They got it (LFC) and lead it where they wanted (midtable profitability, lowered expectations by fans, feeder club, Arsenal bullshit model, lots of sponsors, even lower expectations by everyone). The end.

 

RIP Liverpool F.C.

 

YNWA.

The Arsenal model would be a huge improvement. At least they get into the top 4 each season and have started spending big money on top class players.

£50M is a fair price for (allegedly) the most talented young player in Europe. City offering half of that is an insult. The billionaires are suddenly becoming cheapskates. Fuck them. Tell them to give us double what they paid for that useless oaf Bony or fuck off.

Man, when Rodgers was talking about signing this top striker who will excite the fans, I thought we were signing Falcao, Costa or someone of that type. Instead we got Borini.

On Monday Rodgers had stated that he was close to making an "exciting" signing.

"We hope to complete a deal this week which will be a real exciting one for the club," he said.

 

"He will be terrific, I'm sure. And the supporters will absolutely love him.
