Offers a bit going forward (Scored against us) as well but is best used as a DM.



He had a good season at Roma too.

I hated him when his dad was coach, right up until he left, the Bradley just showed up.  I wouldn't say right now he's good enough to take over Lucas' role, but he seems to be improving at a ridiculous rate, so with a little adaption, he could actually be a really good DM.

However, considering we're the two Americans, I'm sure we're just being bias.

rumours abound that we're willing to listen to offers of £5 million for Shelvey.  Wouldn't mind to see him go out on loan, but 5 million for a bit part player wouldn't be bad..

Another Lucas Leiva. We don't need that kind of a DM. What we need is... well I hope I don't sound racist but what we need is a big, bad and mean black guy that can run for two games straight without even looking like he's tired and that can bully opposition players out of the f*cking pitch. We need a Vieira, Yaya Toure type of player. Wanyama is just that and would be perfect for us.

It's odd that we pay in excess of 5 million for a player who has only played second division football in Spain, yet are "listening" to offers of 5 million for Shelvey + he's British  :Oo:

I was unfortunate enough to watch a reply of the England U21 game against Norway that we were losing 3-0 before we clawed one back. The commentators didn't hold back laying into the players 'their heads went down the minute the Norwegians scored their first' - after 15 minutes! 'The game was lost from that point on' etc.. etc.. and how the teams body language, effort and penetration had been dismal.

Unfortunately in that team we had Shelvey, Hendo (captain) and Wisdom. And the 100 million rated Thomas Ince - that Cardiff are now interested in at 8 million - what a climb down that is, he must be mighty impressed with his dad's negotiating ability.

Honestly, we can't question why LFC are looking to offload these players, if the likes of our first teamers can't dominate Norwegian U21's then they shouldn't be in our first team!

Yes it may lead to home player difficulties however we must focus purely and simply on getting the best starting XI on the field.

Thank god we didn't waste money on Ince.  Tell you, LFC aren't the soft touch we were 1-2 years ago.

Do we really want to start judging players based on an International Tournament ?

Dismissing Ince on the basis of two games when he was superb in the qualifying and last season for Blackpool ? How many times have our own senior players failed in International Tournaments ? Including Gerrard

Wisdom also had a great couple of games - one of the only players to be able to hold their head high.

Too flipping right we judge them in competition - their standard of play was a continuation of their league form - cr@p.

I wish we would just sign Waynama. It's clear he wants to leave

Mignolet set for a medical today. Should cost us 9mill plus 1mill add ons. Guess we should start a thread.

Also, apparently Hendo's going nowhere.

I can imagine his first talk with their boss.
"Hey boss, where do I play?" Boss:"See Marko Marin over there? Have a sit next to him".

Schurrle will not be a bench player and certainly won't see Torres ahead of him many times ( Torres more than likely to leave )
