I think over time Sakho, Allen and Ilorri will prove to be great signings as well. Mingolet is a decent keeper too, he's not great under the highball but his kicking has improved and he's an upgrade on the Reina of last season (who's still dropping clangers for Napoli)
As for the rest, we'll probably make a profit on Assaidi and we may get our money back on Borini who has done a decent job for Sunderland, as for Alberto it's too soon to judge him but he does at least look competent and hasn't done anything wrong when he has been called upon.
All things considered Rodgers has done well in the transfer market, especially considering he hasnt been given big sums to spend.

Assaidi at peanuts was worth the gamble, no-one has ever said Coutinho and Sturridge weren't great signings...

However, to call the likes of Borini, Allen, Illori, Alberto and Mignolet anything other than failures is ridiculous.

Mignolet is absolutely bang smack average at best. Allen is never twice as good as Coutinho or even on Sturridge's level and Illori, Aspas and Alberto is £21,000,000 spunked right up the wall on complete and utter tosh.
End of!

Where did I (or anyone) claim that Allen is twice as good as Coutinho?
And Borini, Alberto and Ilorri are 21, how anyone can call a player a failure at 21 is beyond me, especially when they haven't even laced a pair of boots up in anger for us like Ilorri.
btw if you bothered looking you'd see Ilorri is getting rave reviews at Granada for performances like this -

for me he's absoloutely nowhere near the standard we need. As a fourth choice he'd be ok I suppose,.

Skyrtel, Allen, Henderson are quite frankly embarrassments to the shirt in my opinion

It is, but it's not the first time Stu's opinions have been ridiculous.. I had I disagreement with him about with his comments on Henderson earlier this season...

For me, his passing, distribution and composure on the ball have improved immeasurably from the beginning of the season.

No, don't think he's a bot. Bit weird that he's posting in Bahasa on an English forum.
